Hang in there! For me it took 4 days to get completely over it. Edit: Love the new sig! I didn't notice until right now. When did you change it? Thanks. I'm not even sure it's dengue, by now it's looking as just a case of food poisoning (yes, I had the fish), but I'm still feeling like crap. As for the sig, it was changed when Volume 3 started. It didn't came out as I wanted, but it was the best I could do in the time I had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinBad Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) feel like crap... or carp? (had the fish? I'm a dad, I'm allowed bad puns!) on the subject of publishing: 50 shades of grey (not a fan, just aware of the history) started out as a twilight fanfic. the author just took her plot and plonked it into a non-twilight universe, then published (from the passages I've read, she skipped the editing stage. and proof reading. and spell check). I think @Parkaboy has a good story to tell here that could be made to work in our universe (the one with tall, skinny, 5 fingered versions of kerbals) really well. a graphic novel would be cool, but I think a book would be better?

As a fellow dweller of tropical latitudes, even if on the opposite side of the Equator, I've come to terms with the horde of mosquito-borne diseases constantly buzzing around my head every time I step outside. Most of them I shrug off. Uncle Sam shot me full of immunities to most most of them, so when they hit me, I just get a few days off work. But Dengue Fever is something I dread. I wish you a speedy recovery. That's a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahim Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 geez. Wish you luck. This nightmare of epidemy is harvesting hundreds of us along the years. mostly children and elders. My entire family caught the disease except by me. After all these years i begin to wonder if i got some kind of immunity. Well about the Twilight thing, would be fun to read a history about how an obscure timey-anomaly disaster back at 60's changed the cold war and the development of the space program itself. The problem is that Minmus does not exist on our earth but in the IQ87's earth. where the developers get the idea for that mun. Otherwise. If someday SQUAD agree to licence KSP as a trademark for toys and muppet tv shows, i believe you could be one of their script writers, along with guys like Kuzzter, Chokolatmuss, the guy from "forgotten Space Program" and of course Nassault.

Starhawk Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks Parkaboy! That was a very great update. Your discussion of Stelrine's conundrum and the irony were wonderful. And the mystery of who exactly she was talking to is fascinating. Happy landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnianBlue Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That was a quiet yet interesting use of the 42nd episode. The thing is though, did the probes also get all of Jeb's memories, and not just his personality? I mean, the probes were launched a fair bit earlier right? So do his memories get uploaded?

Alchemist Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We are talking of a spacetime anomaly. Resonating Jeb's consciousness over all the MechJebs in the system is a possibility. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minmus JebSats (currently floating freely around Kerbol, having escaped Minmus' destruction) are simple copies of Jeb's personality. They don't have his memories, just his skills and mannerisms. However, since the Eve Probe in question isn't one of those "mechJebs", maybe there's another explanation. 1 hour ago, Alchemist said: We are talking of a spacetime anomaly.

Musil Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think that was one of the best chapters yet, from an art style and storyteling point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_creative Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I like the 42 reference. i also noticed in chapter 25 when Glery says "I'm going to have to engineer the [big block thing] out of this!" which is a reference to the Martian when Mark Wattney says "I'm going to have to science the [some word I won't say] out of this!"
