Strip 976 -- First Seen: 2012-06-13
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
Establishing shot of Emily and Anton sit in Anton's living room. Emily is looking sad and Anton is being friendly.
Anton: Emily, stop beating yourself up.
Anton: I've reviewed the video of your trial. You thought you were protecting—or maybe avenging—your friend, Libby. I cannot fault you for that.
Panel 2
Close-up of Emily, looking even more remorseful.
Anton (OP): There is one thing, though.
Panel 3
Close-up of Anton, forgiving.
Anton: The thing is, I think Sv Rosenberg did the right thing when he put you to work in Sherwood Forest.
Anton: You needed the light of life here, to replace the shadows of death inside you.
Panel 4
Anton puts his hand over Emily's, encouragingly.
Anton: I see you know it's true.
Anton: I have a business proposal for you. I want you to be my partner in a business that offers life as its only product.
