You also missed the smiley face on the sea floor on Kerbin.

The Selection As this Kerbal was driving, he was talking to himself. "Ah well, I'm not going back there again. No matter what Val says." He turned the radio on, and on came an emergency news report. "Hello and welcome to K-EMN. I'm Rich Kerman." "And I'm Lindsay Kerman." "So, breaking story today: Two Kerbals were kidnapped from their homes last night in Karlston City. KCPD are investigating and have not reached a conclusion on either of the victim's IDs." "The first kidnapping took place around 11:00 last night in the North side of town. The second at around 2:00 AM in the East end. It is unknown who the victims are, how they relate to each other, and who the kidnapper is and what his motives are." "Wow, I live on the East side. I should call Val and see if she's okay." So he picked up his cell and dialed Val's number. Around a minute later: "Hello! I can't come to the phone right now as I'm a bit busy. Call back later, bye!" *beeeep* "Ok, uhh, hey Val, it's me, Jeb. I'm just calling to check on you because there's been a kidnapping near the junkyard and I'm worried. Call me back if you get a chance. Bye." About 5 minutes later, he pulled into the junkyard and stepped out of his truck. He entered a shack labeled "Keys" and took one of the keys off the hook. He saw a sticky note on the wall. It said "Jeb, I took the dumper out to pick up a new load. I should be back within 5 minutes of you reading this. -Val." "Ooohh, she left her phone here." Jeb realized. He climbed up a ladder near the shack and got into a control room and sat down. He was in the crane. He started it up and fired up the electromagnet. He then picked up some loose junk laying around and put it up on top of the large mounds. Jeb shut it off and climbed down the ladder, but midway down he saw Val's truck coming. He continued climbing down. He stepped to the ground just as Val pulled in. Val stepped out of the truck and asked, "Did I leave my phone here?" "You sure did, Val. It's in the key room." "Thanks. You ready to test the rocket?" "You know it, Val!" Jeb and Val both walked to a tipped over cylinder. They pushed it up so it stood straight up. On the side in front of them it said "Caution: Contains Boom". "Alright, I'll be in the shack in case this thing blows up," said Val. "C'mon, it's not gonna explode! Not this time! I worked out the kinks, it should fly properly now." "You said that the last three times." "Ok, ok, ok. Ready?" asked Jeb. "Yeah." replied Val. "Ok," Jeb lit a small match, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!" He stuck the match under the cylinder and it made a loud roaring sound as it flew straight up in the air. "Wooooooo!" cried Val. "C'mon, c'mon." mumbled Jeb. "Parachute, parachute!" The cylinder seemed to have stopped in midair before falling back down. Then, a tiny cloth came out from the top and it expanded as it came closer to the ground. The cylinder landed on the ground without damage. "Yeah, it worked!" screamed Jeb. Val ran out and stood next to him and they hugged. "Let's go get lunch" said Val, as they turned around, heading for Jeb's truck. They saw a hooded man run at them and that's the last the saw for a long time.

Post any artwork that might fit in with the story so far here.

Prologue "First, there was nothing, and then BANG! There it was. The Great Light in the Sky. Soon the stone-faced family, running from the darkness came to serve it. Moho, the youngest and most energetic. He was ill, and resides closest to the Great Light so It can care for him. Eve, the mother of the family. She had a peculiar gray object with her she called 'Kerbin'. Duna, the piping-hot furious member of the family and his stress doll, Ike. Dres, the outcast. Made fun of by the rest for being different and not possessing a glow. Jool, the father of the family. He usually kept himself shrouded in a thick green layer of smoke, almost hiding himself and his collection. And finally, Eeloo. He was least loved by the Great Light. He soon grew ill, and lost his glow as a result. Shortly after the family arrived, Eve had shown the Great Light her 'Kerbin', and It proclaimed, in a deep, booming voice, 'Giveth here this Kerbin, for I shall mend it.' And so It did. All of it's gray spots soon turned into vast blue waves and wide green pastures. Tall stony mountains and yellow deserts. Soon Moho, Dres, and Eeloo were jealous of what Kerbin had become. All three of them vowed to get revenge on Kerbin, and then on the Great Light" Then the gong sounded. The klergy then stood, gave a final verbal sacrifice to the Great Light, and walked out. One particular Kerbal was mumbling to himself as he was walking to his truck. "What malarkey," he murmured, as he shut the door and started the engine. "Great Light? Planetary vows? Sudden atmospheric formations? Seriously? I don't have time for this! I got a junkyard to run!" He then drove off to work. TO BE CONTINUED...

Oh. More Kalamari for the Kerbals then.

Can you actually do that in-game?

I'm relatively new to this game and I'm interested to see where it takes me.

I'm totally not a grapefruit or anything, what are you guys talking about? I've been compromised, repeat, I've been compromised!

A work of art indeed!

Wow, deep. Soon humanity's gonna need to do similar, just not the entire planet.

That poem is beautiful! How long did it take you to come up with that?

Thanks, dude! I'll check 'em out now!

Hey all, I just got KSP yesterday and I had poked around in the Steam community for the game and stumbled in here. I haven't played much, just a few tutorials.
