Heads up... giant chapter incoming! Chapter 3 Intro - “The accelerometer” : K.R.A.S.H.E.D. Mission Control - 1 Moho 65 - Unmanned Hammer Hop Test 1 - T-20, -21, and -22 Days to Arcs 3, 4, and 5; ~75-120 Days to Bluestone 1 Author’s Note: Before we get started with this chapter, a couple of people have told that this would make a good animated series. I’m not that good, but if someone would like to turn this into a comic, just message me the word and I’ll give it the go for launch! In addition,, I’m slowly adding more stats, so be prepared! There are six months in the Kerbal world, each with 71 days. The months are named after the other six planets of the Kerbol system and in this order: Moho, Eve, Duna, Dres, Jool, Eeloo. Simple enough! It also wont say the year; it’ll just say (Year) (Month) (Day). Now, on with the story! Well, it’s been close to a month since we actually had anything leave the pads, but it’s time. The R&D folks, led by Bob, have developed something they’re calling a probe core-- it allows us to control the rocket without a Kerbal. We’re testing it out on the first Hammer booster, so we’ll see how it goes. It launches in a little under 30 seconds, so we’ll see how it goes. *glances at Valentina* Val and I… well, let’s just say we’ve gotten closer since I last did a journal entry, and I think soon I’ll be able to tell her how I feel. Honestly… I’m nervous and excited… but we’re about to launch. *shifts attention* *checks watch* Alright… 10 seconds. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *flames begin belching from the bottom of the rocket as it rises* woah. Look at it fly… is it supposed to be tipping like that? *glances at Gene* Gene: No… something’s wrong… Jim: that’s exactly what happened before-- *rocket explodes* crap. That’s not good. No kidding, Sherlock… We gotta figure out what went wrong, and fast. We got 15 days, people! Grab as many engineers and scientists as we got, and let’s get out to the debris field! That sound good, Gene? That, my boy, is exactly why I wanted you in this space program… You can take control of any situation, no matter how bad it is. Let’s get out there. *end Log Entry J10-Alpha-3* Chapter 3 - Mission Control - 1 Moho 71, 530 - T-14, -15, and -16 to the Hammer Hops; ~69-114 Days to Bluestone 1 *Yawns* It’s been six days since the accident. Gene has had us working around the klock, and I don’t think I’ve slept at all. Gene put me in charge of the disaster committee, and we think we’ve got the issue nailed down. Or should I say… bolted? The problem was discovered to be that one of the two accelerometers that we had installed on opposite sides was… installed upside down. That small mistake crippled the mission, as the probe thought one side was going up, and the other down. It caused the probe to flip out and break apart under the g forces. *yawns again* man… on the other hand, the center has its End of Month awards getting ready to occur in about 15 minutes, so I’ll probably log that. The first true month that we’ve existed is big, so the awards competition is fierce, but I’m excited to hear if any of my friends got anything. The big one people are looking forward to is the Pilot of the Month award, as it seems to be down to Val and Jim. Should be cool. *hops up from Mission Control console, and begins to walk towards the Administration building* Let’s see what the awards are this month… Scientist of the Month? Huh… Blooper of the Month is definitely going to whoever installed the accelerometers… Engineer of the Month is definitely going to Bill as he’s done the most work… Pilot of the Month… hmm? What’s this one… *squints* musta been written last minute… Director of the Month? That’s a new one! I guess it’s between the directors of each division. Looks interesting. *pushes open door and heads to auditorium* Let’s see… what time is it? 545… got it… better get a seat. *opens auditorium door to find a full auditorium* WOAH! I’ve never seen the awards show so packed! I better find a seat… there’s Bill! *walks over* Hey dude! *fist bump* Bill: What’s up, my dude? You know… the usual… think we finally figured out what the problem was on the rocket. Oh? What was it? Missing engine cover… Not even close! One of the accelerometers got installed upside down! *jaw drops* You’re kidding! Nope… wish I was though… However… I’m surprised you haven’t even said ‘Hi’ to Val yet… it’s not like she’s right on the other side of me! Oh wait… *moves out of the way* she is! Val: *giggles* Very funny, Bill… You look exhausted, Jeb! What have you been doing? *sigh* I’ve been working on that committee for the last six days… without sleep. Wow… I’m impressed, Jeb! I didn’t know you had that kind of work ethic! Ouch… you should see him when it’s his turn to lead the program when Gene retires! He’s gonna be a monster! *flicks Bill’s head* Very funny. Now sit down, Gene’s getting ready to talk. Gene: *taps mic* Is this on? Good… let’s make sure we don’t have any tech problems like last Eeloo… anyway! Right into the awards! Scientist of the Month goes to… *opens envelope* Wernher… why can’t I read your handwriting again? Anyways… I think that it says-and correct me if I’m wrong, please-Jordan Kerman? *cheering and Wernher nods* *gives small trophy of a plane to Jordan* Alright… the next one on the list is Engineer of the Month, and this one goes to Bill Kerman, no surprise! *cheers* Go get it, dude! *jogs up to the stand and accepts second plane trophy* Next up… Blooper of the Month! Again, no surprise, but we still don’t know who did this, but whoever installed the accelerometers please come up. *no one stands up* Well then… this will just stay in my office to remind me to always check their credentials *laughter erupts throughout room*. Pilot of the Month! This was a close one, but we’ve decided to give it to… VALENTINA KERMAN! *squeals* Go get it, Val! *grins as she ascends the steps* *gives Val a larger plane trophy, one of two larger trophies on the stand* And finally, the award so many of you are curious to find out what it is… Director of the Month! *Unveils final trophy* For those of you in the back, this award will be a model of the planet the month goes along with. For this month of Moho, we have a model of Moho. The winner of this award, in addition to being the hardest-working Kerbal here, is… Jebediah Kerman. *Room falls silent* Wha-What? Me??? *Nods* Jeb, you’ve showed extraordinary work ethic as the director or the mishap committee, and the other directors and I wanted to reward you. Please, come up on stage! *applause begins* *Walks up to stage, in a daze* Please tell me I don’t have to give a speech, and then pinch me. *more laughter in room* *grins* No, you won’t have to give a speech. Unless you want to? *Pinches* Ow! I didn’t mean for you to actually pinch me! And no, I don’t want to give a speech! *joins other trophy winners, along with Gene* And now, my favorite part. Having to take the dang obligatory photo for the press… *cameras flash for about five seconds* Alright! We’re done! No more pictures! Now if you’re in the media… please get the heck out of my sight! *laughter from non-media members* Well… that was eventful, wasn’t it, Val? Yep! But not quite as eventful as your flying! I sure hope you don’t buzz the tower in that spaceship of yours! *Begins walking back to Astronaut Complex with Val* I take offense to that! I’m not that reckle-- yeah, fine… I won’t buzz the tower on a Hammer. *Giggles* *rests head on Jeb’s shoulder* I’m glad you won something. It was hard not seeing you at all for a week! Yeah… same. *Arrives at Astronaut complex* Well… we’re here. I guess we gotta go our separate ways now. Yeah… *leans in to whisper in Jeb’s ear* good job… and if you don’t want the girl you like to know that you like her, don’t say it on a public log. *kisses his cheek* Good night... *enters her room* *In shock* Man… this day just gets crazier and crazier… what next? We see a UFO? *shakes head before going to room and camera cuts* *end Entry J10-Alpha-3-beta* End of Chapter Author’s Note: I know this is a really hecking long chapter, and I apologize, but I needed to get two weeks of ideas onto some paper! Anyway… think I’m gonna take a break this weekend to just relax, maybe just watch soccer/football... Editor’s Note: Still digging out of the mountain of homework. And yes... we wrote that chapter in under an hour. I'm exhausted!

Chapter 3 is coming soon! I've also added a month system... more on that when I release chapter 3!

OH NO

NO AND NO #EELOOISLOVE #EELOOISLIFE And I am definitely #TEAMFREAKINPOSITIVE TUBM will be another #TEAMFREAKINPOSITIVE member, probably either @Barzon Kerman or @The_Cat_In_Space

ah. I think I got. But just in case, can you repeat it all again I wasn't listening. (LOL)

oh... done that too! It was named the Nova... and it was an absolute PAIN to fly! It was supposed to be a Direct Ascent to the Mun, but I way over engineered it. I'll get a VAB picture in a couple hours
