Strip 987 -- First Seen: 2012-06-28
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
Long shot of Marsha at the podium. We see her over the backs of the crowds' heads. The other Council members seated on the stage are listening with rapt attention.
Marsha: But we are here to help you.
Marsha: The Massachusetts Contingent and the Vesta Council are just like you people.
Marsha: We put our pants on one leg at a time.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Marsha, waxing rhetorical.
Marsha: We don't want an oppressive government any more than you do.
Marsha: Remember, we escaped from Terra and Taxachusetts.

Panel 3
Same shot, Marsha looking expectantly at the audience. In the upper right corner, draw three crickets inside a circular word balloon with the tail pointed towards the audience.
No dialog.

Panel 4
Marsha looks down, blushing slightly that her little joke fell flat.
Marsha: Uh .. in any case.
