Interlude- Pioneers "So, we have decided that, for now, the probes we have on the inner planets are good enough." "Well, that's nice. I don't have to -" "Don't even start, Mort," said Tandin as a hammer flew across the room and nearly took off Mort's left ear. "Try that again and see what happens." Mort may be snobby, but he wasn't stupid. "Our next job is to send landers to these planets, and from there, begin manned missions. The probes to the outer planets will still go, but now, we focus more on Kerbin's local system." "And, Gene, what do you have in mind?" asked Val. "Oh, me and Wernher were thinking along the lines of a Remote-Controlled Robotic Exploration Rover."

I'm currently watching Interstellar quest, which gets my vote so far.

Which video series of Kerbal Space Program, by Scott Manley is the best?

The medium sized ones

Chapter 8- Moho 1 The launch was perfect. The systems performed well, and Gene and the gang were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Gene plotted a burn onto Moho's orbital tilt. And then, he plotted a Moho intercept. The stakes were high- missing Moho would mean speeding out of the solar system. And all were silent as the pictures rolled in. Gene began the capture burn. And the craft achieved orbit.

Tandin must be too- he got hit by a hammer. And Bill should get a +5 courage boost for stopping an attempted kerbal slaughter.

Chapter 7- Gilly 1 The Discovery rocket blasted off, heading into the sky and beyond it. Reporters, scientists, members of the Gilly-is-Great club and a certain kerbal couple were watching. Gene and the gang in Mission Control plotted a Eve intercept, from which they would encounter Gilly. Gene breathed a sigh of relief. "Entering the Eve system!" "Begin capture burn." Several pictures were captured of the purple planet. Gene brought the engines online and burned a Gilly intercept. "We are now in visual range of Gilly!" "Doesn't have a lot of gravity," muttered Linus.

Interlude- Koffee Break and a Transfer "So," Tandin said as he attached one of the solar panels to the probe core, "We're sending this to a moon 13 kilometers in radius?" "That's one way to look at it," said Bill. "Another is to look at Wernher and that intern of his- what's her name- Hayla or something- and fall over laughing," said Gus. Tandin aimed his wrench at Gus and whacked him across the shoulder. Gus grabbed a hammer and did the same to Tandin. Bill yanked the two fighters away from the melee. "Gus, shut up. Tandin, go take a break." Tandin hitched a ride to the Astronaut Complex, and made his way to Calmin Kerman's Koffee Co. He was met by Hayna, drinking a cup of iced tea. "Hi," said Hayna. "Hello," replied Tandin. Tandin ordered a mug of Kraken Special and a scone, and sat with Hayna. "How's Gilly 1 coming along?" asked Hayna. "Good, although the fur really flies between Gus and me. He called you a clueless intern, by the way. I'm planning on transferring to the R&D and doing Rocket Design." Hayna giggled. "And you'd see more of me." Tandin grinned. "This transfer is sounding better and better. Anyway, how's life in the R&D treating you?" "Good, good. Wernher calls to me 'his little prodigy'. I've been hanging out in the Science Archives, reviewing older experiments." "That's nice. Well, if you'll excuse me, I believe I have a little transfer form to handle."

hehe Coming out this afternoon... a Gilly probe and possibly our favorite couple...

Not completely is what I'm trying to do... it won't be the same as ES. I have some other ideas that I'll put into the plot

Yep, you read my mind. The landings come after the probes.

I'm sorry about the lack of content, but with testing and school...urghh. Interlude: Tandin and Hayna The two young kerbals, one male and one female, stood by the table in crisp, clean, white shirts, emblazoned with the C7 Aerospace Division logo and name tags. The two kerbals were named Tandin and Hayna. Tandin was the male, Hayna the female. On the table sat a large poster board, which was preceded by a small box with wires and such sticking out. Wernher and Gene walked over. "Hello, you two. I'm Gene Kerman and this is Wernher Von Kerman. Both of us are judges of the 10th annual Kerbal Space Program Innovation Awards." "Hello, sir," said Tandin, shaking Gene's hand. "Zhis is your project, zhen?" asked Wernher. "Correct, sir," said Hayna. "This is the Mobile Tracking Monitor Unit, designed to track ships and such without a huge dish." Tandin continued. "It works by detecting electricity in an area, and from there, it is able to identify the ship." "Interesting. We must move on, but thank you for your time," said Gene. "Same to you," replied Hayna. 15 minutes later "And the grand prize winner is... Tandin and Hayna Kerman!" Hayna and Tandin cheered and hugged. They were promptly recruited at KSC the next day

Chapter 6: Eve Explorer A massive rocket was being rolled down the crawlerway. "That's good, boys!" cried out Gene Kerman. "She's one impressive ship, I'll give her that," said Gus Kerman. "Zhe's a good rocket for ze big missions," was Wernher's reply. 65 days earlier "Alright guys, we have a new contract on us. This one's from Ally Kerman's Interior Decorating and Rocket Fuel Co. They want us to go to Eve, 'because we believe there is good purple paint in the making there.' Any objections?" "Yes, Gene, it's going to cost-" THWACK! "Good job with the wrench, Bill. So, no questions?" *silence* "Good! Gus, you guys get cracking." 65 days later The rocket flew upwards, and soon began to heat up. And the journey of the Eve 1 began. Mission Control began to plot a course to Eve. And the probe made the burn. "It made it!" Linus cried out. Gene squinted at the monitor. "That's Eve..." "HOLY KRAKEN! WE MADE IT!" Jeb screeched. "Engage the retroburn!' "We're around Eve!" "Prepare to make the burn." The sun set over Eve... As the probe circled around Eve, Linus said. "The sunrises on Eve... they're green." Now, Wernher was wondering... could Eve's oceans be made of rocket fuel?

Did the chapter thing. First post.

ok, thanks.

Quick question- how do you do the chapter links?

First off-Thanks for reading it! I'm sort of new to KSP-got the full version last christmas, but I played the demo beforehand-not sure what that makes me? Kudos with the Duna probe! For Eve, read the next Chapter. I have been reading Emiko Sation and want to start on FSP I'll try the volume thing.

Hello! I'm here to inform you that from now on, Kerbal Freeplay will be taking place in a story mode style writing. Like the last 2 entries. KerbalCorgi

Chapter 5: I Like Ike! Mortimer Kerman strolled across the lawn of the astronaut complex, looking smug and happy. He held several files in his hands, and as he walking into the R&D, someone said that was the happiest Mort had ever been. Mortimer stopped in front of Dr. Von Kerman. "The krowdfunding went better then expected. Over 128,000 kerbucks in funds- enough to construct another Discovery rocket to Ike! Wasn't that our plan, Dr.?" "Ja! Linus, call Herr Gus. Tell him ze funds are in. Begin ze construction!" Linus grabbed the fastest rover to the VAB and raced there. 65 days later The crowds of reporters and civilians were overwhelming. The morning may be cold, but Moxie Kerman's Koffee Co. was on the scene, and mugs and cups were passing around. Wernher wore a thick coat over his lab coat. Several kerbal celebrities were at the launch, too. All four orange suits, and Dilemone Kerman of Probodobodyne Inc., as well as Geofdos Kerman, head of Rockomax Conglomerate were there. Gene and Mission Control began the countdown. 5 4 3 2 1 Liftoff! The crowd was silent as the mighty rocket lifted off into the sky, flying higher and higher. The kerbals looked at this majestic creation, but still stayed silent. "This is Gene Kerman. This has been a perfect launch!" The crowd's cheers erupted like a Twin-Boar engine, and Wernher felt all the emotion around him. The rocket, meanwhile, was going fast enough to have reentry forces on it. Gene reflected that whoever invented fairings was a genius. Gene kept the rocket going- no orbit burns for them. Following the launch of Duna 1, Gene and Wernher decided against using orbits. And the journey of Ike 1 commenced. One year later The probe's encounter with Duna needed more time. And, since Ike 1 was still on a path with Kerbin, it had a Kerbin encounter. Telescopes looked out on the probe, seeing the object fly past into the great unknown. Gene and Mission Control were at it again. If they missed Duna, they were screwed. The probe made the burn. Gene watched with clammy, sweaty, trembling hands. And then, on the screen, Linus said "That looks like Duna and Ike." Gene collapsed into his chair, a weak smile on his face as cheers went up all around him. The probe burned retrograde and captured around Duna. And then, the strangest thing happened... Gene had no issues with that, and the flight continued. And the cheers of KSC went up again.

Oh my god. You nailed it in the perfect manner.

Chapter 4: The Duna Probe Duna 1. The pride of kerbal engineering. The pinnacle of space exploration. As the whole world, Gene, and Mission Control looked on, Linus and Werner sat on the top of the VAB. "Zat's a good one." "Mmhm" *chewing of a sandwich* "Ze red dot. Ze kerbals have wondered about it for years, ja?" *more chewing* "The public's going to go wild, you know." "It is ze most exciting time to be alive, ja?" The mighty thrusters lifted off, and Werner looked on, in reflective silent, with the expression a mother would wear when her child went to kollege: pride and sadness. Meanwhile, Gene and Mission Control began the orbital burn. "Fire!" " Adjust Angle 0.2 degrees!" "Decouple!" "Extend Panels!" But after much struggle, the burn was made, and the probe made the transfer into interplanetary space. As Werner looked to the probe, he saw Kerbin and the Mun, and even Minmus. He said "To zink that every kerbal who has ever lived lived on something ze size of a marble." Two Years later Mortimer looked at Gene. "Listen. This was several thousand in taxes for the kerbal populace. Because Werner had a crazy idea we could get to Duna. How do we know Duna exists? For all we know, there is no Duna and we spent several thousand funds on a hair-brained scheme that gets us nowhere!" "Calm down, Mortimer. The boys in Mission Control got the arrangement right this time. We'll nail it for sure." "If this goes on for another year, we are ruined! I'll bet my salary for the next 6 months we're wasted!" Gene was in bed. He was sleeping, peacefully, when the phone rang. "Yes, this is Gene Kerman." "Concerning Duna? Yes?" "WHAT?" "I'm coming over right now." Gene was met in Mission Control with a bottle of khampagne. Werner, Linus, Jeb, Val, Bill, Bob, Walt, Gus, and Mortimer were all there. Mortimer was skulking in a corner, and when Gene walked by, he forked over a wad of cash to Gene. Gene, being nice, took half the wad and left the other half with Mortimer. Gene personally performed the capture, and then, piece by piece, descended into a closer orbit. "Look at it." whispered Val. And those same photos appeared on the Kerbin Times that morning

Interlude: FIRST TIME IN 1.1 Updated this morning, etc. Here is my reaction and pictures. Well, a different loading screen... I did something correctly! Oh look. The menu says I'm in 1.1! *noise like pig* WHAT.THE.POTATO OH BOY MORE SCENARIOS WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So, I'm feeling good about this. See ya tonight for the Duna probe!

Chapter 3: Helios 1 Helios 1 was the result of hard work, much research, many plans, and a certain Kerbal whacked over the head. The launch was not highly publicized- that was for Duna 1. Instead, the Kerbin Offical Solar Watchers Club showed up, and witnessed the probe that would become the first in 17 bodies of the Kerbol system. As the probe left its parent body, Wernher wondered if a kerbal would ever see the same view. As the probe dropped closer and closer to Kerbol, things began to heat up. And Gene reflected the target distance of 700,000 km might have to be tweaked. When Linus looked at the monitor, he said "I don't think science instruments are supposed to glow like that. In fact, Gene left the orbit slightly eccentric, mainly because the probe could cool off that way. Linus was wondering if heat affected a solar panel's production. And Gene was glad he changed the original plan.

need to think about it

WHOO! DRESTEROIDS FOR THE WIN! AND DRES! WHOO! I hope I'll see one! First 2 Probes... The DUNA SYSTEM! We are launching a probe to Duna and then one to Ike. KerbalCorgi
