Strip 985 -- First Seen: 2012-06-26
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
Smallish panel. Backstage at the Odeum, Marsha and one of her Council members are talking with Pilgrim Boner.
Marsha: You won't chair the meeting?
Pilgrim: You're on your own -- I am neutral, and tending towards the Locals.

Panel 2
Another small panel. Marsha gives Pilgrim a look of cold contempt.
Marsha: Very well, then.

Panel 3
Shot of the Podium on the stage, which includes the heads and shoulders of the audiencemembers standing near it, all chatting with one another. Marsha is walking towards the podium. The podium is flanked by three chairs on each side in which the council members are seated.
Marsha (thought): Geez, this place is packed.
SFX: [audience hub-bub]
Panel 4
Closer shot of Marsha at the podium, raising her arms. She looks about her with satisfaction. Leave plenty of space above her for the sound effect, 'SILENCE'
Marsha (thought): Hey, they're in a cooperative mood.
Marsha (thought): This is going to be easier than I thought.
