The First Kerbal War...

'This Is Not A Drill!'

It was a quiet morning at the KSC. Gene was getting his coffee from his office vending-machine, Jeb was getting yelled at by the Tower staff for buzzing it yet again on a test flight, the engineers and construction workers were building another rocket, and then, an ear-splitting roar from overhead. 'Jeb's not up there, so who could be flying around the KSC?' an engineer said after hearing the noise. A quiet whistling sound, followed by a massive wave of noise filled the air. Alarms started going off, and an announcer kept saying 'This is not a drill! This is not a drill!'.

Another roar filled the air. 'Look out!' Jeb had just enough time to see an aircraft fly past. 'Red wings...red wings...the UKSE!' 'Get down NOW!' someone shouted at him, and he had just enough time before bullets hit the area where he was just standing. Then, he felt a stinging pain in his arm, followed by drowsiness.

He awoke sometime later in what he reckoned to be an armoured transport. He could see out the windows that there were other transports as well, all heading in the same direction. 'Must be a convoy' he thought to himself.

The vehicle stopped, and they all got out. Looking around, he saw that he was at an airbase. Rows and rows of aircraft were in hangars, and he could see tanks, jeeps, and other vehicles moving about as well. A military instructor appeared, and directed the hordes of Kerbals, many still shocked and worried, to a large building. Jeb followed, and was directed to the main hall. A Kerbal took to the stage, and started speaking.

'Greetings. I am General Katphe Kerman, or just Kat for short. Some time ago, the KSC, and almost the whole of the continent, were attacked by the UKSE, or United Kerbal Star Empire. We do not know why we were attacked. For your safety, you have all been evacuated to the main airbase of the Kerbin Defence Force. Many of you wouldn't have heard of this location before, as it was renamed 'KSC 2' for security purposes. From this base you will be housed in accommodation next to the airbase, and, if you have the skills or training, will be instructed to work on the site. If you want to take back the continent, and then ultimately Kerbin, this is your chance. TO VICTORY!'

'Heading Out'

Jeb exited the hall, and was going to his new accommodation, when he was instead directed to a small building next to it. Once inside, he met with some other Kerbals, who were also looking confused as to why they were also told to meet here. A Kerbal dressed in a military jumpsuit entered the room, and told them all to sit down.

'You're probably wondering why you're all here. I'm going to tell you, so listen up' he said, as he pinned a map up on the wall. 'You've been picked for a special mission, the first strike on the UKSE. You'll be flying two bombers to a designated target, hitting it, and returning home. Pretty simple' Jeb thought that it was easy. He knew how to fly, and all he needed to do was open the bomb bay, press a button, and things go boom.

'But, that's not all. Your target, an island that we believe is being used as a staging zone for the invasion of the Pegasus Peninsula, is heavily defended. You know how I said two bombers? One will bomb the target, and the other will carry an assault vehicle. The one carrying the vehicle will land on the island, but far away from the base, and, once nearing the base, will take out the defences. Once they've done that, you'll bomb it'.

They then left the building, and went to the hangar. Having been briefed on the mission, and been allocated in teams, they were taxied onto the runway.
