    An Interlude is next.

    Yeah, he hasn't really been reading he comic so I told him about everything... ...except the F9
  4. Mister Dilsby
    Here are all the clues there are, from the time it happened in Order Zero: Gregmore (who?) didn't seem to notice he'd repeated his lines, and no one else seemed to have any memory of the event. Despite not having noticed anything, Looty Dilsby stuck up for his engineer and insisted that Gene adopt Clauselle's protocol of making sure each ship was "actively tracked" by KSC as it crossed the SOI boundary.

    I really needed that this morning. Thanks for reading!

    Well, here's the crazy thing: I really did need that F9. Nimzo's pose in the first panel of the last page was one I made in Animation Suite. The plan was to have him get discombobulated, then snap back together and go ragdoll. They were going to bring him up to the ship and I had all kinds of great jokes planned. So after I took the shot for that first panel I enabled Nimzo's jetpack and rammed him into the Kraken. The idea was for him to bounce off, stunned, and then I'd get the screenshot I wanted of him lying on the ground. Bad idea. That second panel is for real! Nimzo spun wildly, stretching in every direction and shooting away from the surface. When he was about 14km above Qwammer he started coming down--fast--still glitching. I pressed F9 and held it, not actually knowing when the last save point was--or whether there was one at all! I guess we'll all find out together, next page. Moral of the story: do NOT tempt the Kraken!

    I won't lie to you, right now I really feel like crashing Intrepid into a mountain at full throttle and being done with it. But, the show goes on.
  8. Mister Dilsby
    Wow. Just saying, @adsii1970, if you ever want some screenshots to go with your sweeping space-opera-y score for the opening credits of a certain other comic, I may be able to hook you up Outstanding work!
  9. Mister Dilsby
    Well...no. As for the first one, I think the reference you're referring to is from @Dman979 Kerman's opening statement in the "A Few Good Kerbs" trial at the end of Eve: Order Zero-- "Convict my clients and you sentence us all to life imprisonment, right here, altitude seventy meters!" That's not the same as a death sentence As to the second, "any landing you can walk away from is a good one" is a meme probably as old as human aviation. Nope, this is all @Cydonian Monk, his creation. Maybe he's drawing from some of the same source material as me, but that ominous hexahedron has been around here a lot longer than my old cavalry hat
  10. Mister Dilsby
    Wow, that's an interesting challenge! I passed three "e"s in my first sentence of this post! I guess it pretty much forces present tense, eh?

    Unwarranted risks For Science is the Kerbfleet way I should note, for anyone who has not been to Bop, that these science reports are real in-game as of 1.1.3. I did not doctor or edit them as I have done in the past (e.g. when Bob passed a breathalyzer test on Eve to confirm he was OK to drive the Billmobile). I interpret the "impact" seismic report to be intentionally referring to the kraken crashing into the surface. The "it looks like an egg" surface sample text is unambiguous. What's really interesting is that I don't seem to get the same report every time--sometimes it's an ordinary sample report, sometimes there's a poop joke, and sometimes you get an egg. Right--if she misplaces the egg, then she's sure to get a good mass reading. And I really hope you meant that Heisenberg and not the other one, we've got enough trouble already with what Bill "cooks" in the ISRU.
  12. Mister Dilsby
    Nope! Whatever he said I have duly covered up per Rule 2.2g because (1) it's the right thing to do and (2) I know YOU are watching. Congratulations! You've always worked hard to make the Forum a better place, and now it's official.
  13. Mister Dilsby
    Why yes, I do have a question for a moderator. Hey @Starhawk, how's it going?
  14. Mister Dilsby
    Heh. I don't think I've used the "onetwothreenotit" joke since Duna.
  15. Mister Dilsby
    Je connais, je connais--I spelled it that way initially, but it failed EN spellcheck. Perhaps when the word was loaned/stolen to English the spelling changed, or it's from 'old French', or it isn't quite the cognate one would think it is.
  16. Mister Dilsby
    Nope. It's the one I try to prove wrong, every day. Curious to know after you've read Jool Odyssey whether you think you were right Posted almost exactly one year ago on the Eve: Order Zero thread:
  17. Mister Dilsby
    Good to see you again! You know, there's an old post of yours that I still look at from time to time. I wonder if you can guess which?
  18. Mister Dilsby
    More pages coming, but I want to give @Geschosskopf a chance to catch up. Looks like he's still back on Tylo.
  19. Mister Dilsby
    ...maybe @StupidAndy missed the part where we landed the Qwammer on Tylo? Laythe is all that's left.
  20. Mister Dilsby
    Busy weekend, so before that, here is more.
  21. Mister Dilsby
    On map view, I can see there's a hole at Bop's north pole... could be some kind of thermal exhaust port, idk.
  22. Mister Dilsby
    Hey, here's a fun experiment. First, get in a nice fast jet. Don't forget your accelerometer! Measure the Gs you endure when it takes off, lands and banks. Have someone monitor your breathing rate and blood pressure. Wheee! Thrilling! Next, sit backwards on a go-kart and do the same while an expert driver with the impulse control of a twelve-year-old takes you airborne over wildly uneven terrain in a misguided attempt to find out exactly what that kart can and cannot do. If, after experiment #2, you have not accidentally swallowed the accelerometer and/or had some sort of nervous breakdown, then by all means come back here and post about how Nimzo should have reacted.

    Dude you have GOT to take it off auto-update, you're just asking for a broken S.A.V.E. ...
  24. Mister Dilsby
    That's way too nice, thank you Jim. One of these days I may yet approach Squad with a project
  25. Mister Dilsby
    Yup. (And brilliant song BTW!) Honestly I wasn't going to have Kerbfleet go there at all, I liked leaving it in mystery. But then when I saw the text in some of the science reports from the surface, I decided (especially after that precipitous departure from Vall) that there were just too many clues for Our Heroes to ignore.
