Helo people, this is a story that happened to me... And I thought maybe I could share it
Chapter I
This is Valentina, she is an innocent who dedicated her life to serve humanity and science. She is ready day and night to help people and put all her efforts to serve them.
One day her manager sent her along with her 2 work mates an email;
"Dear Valentine,
As you know, we have been building a rocket to start the mission to planet Eve, it's nearly done and time came to choose the crew. Nevertheless, as this mission is quite important to us, me including the Project Management team decided to hire up the best crew we have here in KSP.
İt's up to you if it's a "Congratulations!" Or "Unfortunately!", But we have chosen you to be part of the crew. A meeting about the preparatory program will be held in the head quarters in 2 days, more information will be sent upon signing the contract.
Please find the contract kindly attached.
Sincerely,
CEO Gene Kerman"
She was overwhelmingly happy, she called Jeb and with excitement she told him, yet more excitement fell on her when she discovered Jeb is also within the crew. Finally she gets to serve the humanity at its maximum levels, she and without hesitating signed the contract. An ignorant decision, yet innocent.
Chapter II
Bob was a smart guy, he was raised between puzzles and building blocks, his father always insisted on learning math and physics, and Bob although he doesn't favour his father that much, always remembered when he once said "no math , no logic". He throughout his life has always worked to be good at mathematics and physics, and he also like his father believed that mathematics is the origin of logic. He didn't have much of a social life in his childhood, but that wasn't a problem for him when he got old, he simply used logic to deal with people, he understood people and worked upon it. But he has always missed one trait, it's courage. His overwhelming logic always pointed out dangers around him, before taking any decision his logic pointed out the risk , and he never willed for this risk, logic was his best companion. The only time he took a risk was when he met Jebediah and Valentine, he knew their courage will get him in trouble but he was okay with that.
Jebediah, his great courage and stupidity will sure make from him a great person who bumps in every door before opening it. This same courage gave him the guts and talk to Valentina. Gus Kerman, the operation leader, put Valentina in the same team as Jebediah and asked him to be the supervisor supervising Valentina with her first months of training. After Valentina finished her first rough day, she went and sat on the balcony, the weather was amazing and the view too, the taste of the coffee that she forgot reminded her with her mother ‘’Your hair tie is not well tied, if I may?” said Jedebiah reaching her from behind, “I’m sorry, did we meet before?” said Valentina, “I’m your supervisor Jebediah, nice to meet you… Valentina, am I right?” with a smile replied Valentina “ I’m not that type of people who get supervised often, but maybe you may start with fixing my tie!” “I will, actually that’s why Gus assigned me to you, he said you got a nice hair , he added yet she doesn’t care about it that much… ” and so they spent the night laughing and gazing at the sky.
Although Jebediah, Valentina, and Bob knew each other for a few years, Jebediah and Valentina were never that close to Bob. Bob unlike Jeb and Vala always preferred to sit by himself, but during the 2 months preparatory program he was forced to stay with them tens of nights. He didn’t regret it, neither did they. They spent one of their best nights together, Bob realized that there are some people who deserve his love. Jebediah was so energetic he always tried to make them happy, take care of them, and make sure they are not hurt, he finally found something to live for. Vala ,on the other hand, was full of love, she needed to help everyone, Jebediah and Bob became her new family, she loved them, cared about them , and always made sure she doesn’t turn them down.
Chapter III
“You pussy! Are you ready?”, “love you Jeb! I’m not sca..” “can you both shut up now!! put your seat-belts, we are launching in 4 minutes 38 seconds” said Vala “Connection okay! Power engine okay! Oxygen percentage stable! All systems working! to mission control, all systems okay, we are ready to launch” “Launching in 3:07 minutes, Jeb prepare the engine, the burnout will be 1 minute due” “Ready Sir!” “Sorry Sir! But can you tell Bob not to pee himself sir!” , “Jeb, you know we didn’t launch yet, there are always crews here that are sure ready to take your place… Bop, keep an eye at the maneuvering, you don’t wanna end up in the middle of the ocean after all.”… “7,6,5,4,3,2,1…Start the burnout” (VHOOOOOOOOOO) , Mission Control “Well Done! In 55 seconds we will start launching, manage your burnout accordingly Jeb, get ready to release the holders Bob” , “9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…. Release the holders” “Released Sir!” , “All our hopes are in you mates, no matter what you bring your asses here alive! Good Journey!”They spent 306 days on their way to Eve, and still 2 days left till they reach the orbit. They spent 306 days and nights together, they ate, slept, and laughed together “Vala, do you remember when we were sky gazing and Bob pointed out Eve?” “We are already here” said Vala sopping with a smile “Here we are friends, again sitting together and gazing at the sky, I wonder if someone is gazing at us too!”
In 2 days they will be already one of Eve moons, moons are bright but they Eclipse once a year!
Chapter IV
“Jebbbbb!!!, Valaaaa! Hurry upppp” “Jebbbbb wake the love up!” , she ran into the hatch “whats wrong!?” screamed Vala, “The propeller is overheating and the cooling system is not workinggg!” screamed Bob while fear was covering his face as Jeb arrived, “I’ll check other systems and try to contact the base, Bop try to slow down the rocket as soon as we get near the orbit, and calm the lovekk down!!! Vala, go back and check what’s wrong with the cooling system, Hurry up you two”, “Valaa” called Bop “Valaaa…” “Yeah Bo…” she looked at him, she never saw Bop that comfortable before, he was calm in a weird way with a smile that… it was just a weird smile to describe. “Don’t worry Vala, take your time and don’t get confused or stressed out” “Just realized I’m not coming home”, smiled Vala “Even if it costs my life I’m taking you home”.
Base, Mission Control “Valaa, can you hear me?” , “Where the love where you Gus!?” “Jeb, where is Vala? What is happening? Inform me with all the details!” “We are facing problems with the cooling system in Hatch-4, Vala went to figure out the problem, me and Bob are here checking for other systems” Jeb took out the Walkie-Talkie “Vala, what’s the problem? can you see anything?” (BEEEEP-BEEEEP-BEEEEP) the bells were beeping from all around her, her hands are shaking “the compressor overheated, the whole cooling system stopped, I’m trying to fix the problem. I’ll keep you up-to-date”, “How much is the temperature at right now?” asked Gus from the control mission “2773 C, Flux at 528 Watts per Meter” answered Bob but no answer came from Gus “Sir, Sir!! We are waiting for commands…” “Gus!!! Your commands right now!” followed Jeb….. “Release Hatch-4 within maximum a minute…” , “Sir! Vala is in Hatch-4, it will take her 2-3 Minutes to go out..” answered Jeb “I’ve said Release Hatch-4”, Jeb followed “Gus, the voice might not be clear” he followed clearly and loudly “Vala is in Hatch-4, I repeat, Vala is in Hatch-4” , Bob was staring from the window at planet Eve, and Jeb figured out from Bob’s face that there was something going on…. “Bob, it’s Gus from the mission control talking to you, if you can hear me release Hatch-4 as soon as possible”, “Wha.. what is going on?” was shocked Jeb “Bob what the love are you doing!!” “don’t listen to them.…” “Don’t you dare do it..” Jeb screamed through the walkie-talkie “Valaaaaa Get out from there nowww!!”, Jeb held Bob, he begged him not to do it, he screamed he tried everything… although Vala and Jeb taught him the meaning of friendship, Logic is Bob’s closest companion.
Bop looked at Jeb in the eyes, he smiled with teardrops covering his cheek and said “I’m sorry Jeb, I love her as much as you do” he pushed Jeb , he wiped his tears and with ashamed way “Sir! I started the procedures for releasing Hatch-4”, Jeb ran from one hatch to another “…I’m your supervisor...” he heard the sound of gates closing down , time passes fast yet slow enough, he realized it’s too late, he just wished he can tie her hair one more time.
“Bob I nearly fixed it, buy me sometime…we are going home poodlees!!” as Bob is clearly listening with silent tears, trying not to sob so Vala wont hear, “Valaa” he said “Vala I am sor….” *CLICKKKKK* “Bob, Jeb… what happened?” the temperature is no longer increasing, and the propeller sound is getting further and further “Bob answer me! Did you slow down the speed? I’m nearly finished , buy me sometime guys!!! “ “Bob answer for god’s sake!!” “Jeb can you hear me?” she picked the Walkie-Talkie *No Signal” she tried again “Connection Failed” and again she tried “Connection Failed” and again and again… She cried, she was happier than ever, she finally got to serve humanity at it’s maximum. She finally got Bob and Jeb home even if it did cost her her life. She put her space suite, opened the gate and flew away. The view is amazing, the weather is not bad here in the suite, the sun we see on earth is a big lie! Here it is wonderful, it shines for ever too! She is being followed by the moon shadow too, nevertheless, here it’s always a full moon. It’s also a total eclipse!
