Strip 971 -- First Seen: 2012-06-06
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
In one of the wider and more-upgraded tunnels, a pair of Mascons are handing out flyers to locals passing by. One of the locals stops to accept a flyer from one of the Mascons.
Local: What's this?
Mascon1: We're seeking a vote of confidence to establish a temporary authority to control water, food and other necessities until this radiation crisis is over.

Panel 2
The local drops the flyer at the Mascon's feet and walks away.
Local: Pft! Crisis? They've given the all-clear.
Mascon1: But what about the next time? Sov? Have a nice day.

Panel 3
The two mascons huddle together.
Mascon2: We're getting a lousy response.
Mascon1: That's okay. Marsha explained that votes that aren't cast don't count.

Panel 4
Cut to an office with Marsha sitting behind a desk. A couple of other Mascons are standing before her, one with a sheaf of papers. Marsha looks excitedly happy.
Mascon3: The final vote tally is, 125 in favor, 35 against.
Marsha: It's a landslide! We have our mandate!
