Hello.
I've been reading these since half way through duna ore bust and wanted to say thank you for making this.
I really needed that this morning. Thanks for reading!

Poor Nimzo. I hope after the F9 he won't remember anything.
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.

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!

Reference identified to @Kuzzter's Kerbfleet Trilogy (Duna Ore Bust, Eve Order Zero, A Jool Odyssey):
From Jool Odyssey when a rookie pilot crashes a plane. Also mentioned in Eve Order Zero when a pilot barely survives landing on Eve.
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

I wrote this for a writing prompt on Reddit. We had to use 3 or less e's in an apocalyptic story.
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?

THERES MULTIPLE KRAKENS!
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.
41 minutes ago, Dman979 said:Hey, Lisa- blame Heisenberg.
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.

I guess he didn't say 'Bleen' this time.
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.
-
Why yes, I do have a question for a moderator.
Hey @Starhawk, how's it going?
-
Heh. I don't think I've used the "onetwothreenotit" joke since Duna.

Just now, Mikki said:
Errmm, maybe my french (Krench?) knowledge is "nitpicky" but sarge is a "connaisseur" of finest swear words.
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.
-
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

LV-909 LoverAnd that's it. Until Kuzzter feels like starting all over, that's the end. Kerbfleet has been milked for all of it's worth across this plot-line, by Mort for money and Kuzzter for a truly inspiring story. This is truly Kuzzter's Magnum Opus, and he would have to be a god to do anything better than this. I don't know the quality of his next thing, I don't know what it's coming out, but I can assume that it will be at least a slight downgrade after beginning his run with a bang, and it won't be out for a long time. Good Job, Kuzzter. Good Job, Kerbals. Let's all have a hydrazine toast, and know that this is the best thing ever. Cheers! This is The Raincrafter, and that is my opinion on the recent events of the comic's universe.

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?
-
More pages coming, but I want to give @Geschosskopf a chance to catch up. Looks like he's still back on Tylo.
-
...maybe @StupidAndy missed the part where we landed the Qwammer on Tylo? Laythe is all that's left.
-
Busy weekend, so before that, here is more.

So does this title mean that pol is secretly some planet killing superweapon?
On map view, I can see there's a hole at Bop's north pole... could be some kind of thermal exhaust port, idk.

[something]
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. ...
-
That's way too nice, thank you Jim. One of these days I may yet approach Squad with a project

And I am right. We're going to the Kraken, or at least where it's located. It may or may not have landed, and it may or may not be alive, because of some... pointy rocket-propelled sticks fired at it.
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.

You messed up! Lemme highlight the important part:
@Kuzzter has confirmed it was the Kraken! I call word of god!
Oh. I wasn't aware there was any doubt about what happened to Wehrford. I even called it by name, on the page--just look at the sound effect when it ripped his ship apart
-
Hey friends! Welcome back to what is, at this moment THE most viewed AND most-replied thread in the history of Mission Reports! Thanks so much for all those eyeballs (yum!)

It's not the format, it's the copyright issue. @SQUAD owns the rights to the game, and in a way the universe, in which Emiko takes place.
Specifically, Squad owns the "Game Content" and asserts that copyright here. The agreement does grant license for non-commercial "derivative" works based on the Game Content (such as this story, and pretty much 90% of everything else in Fan Works) provided appropriate notices are included AND it's not published for "commercial purposes".
I think it's not on topic for this Mission Report thread to discuss exactly where that "Commercial Purposes" line is... e.g. is a Youtube series that gets revenue due to ad linkage OK? How about a "Donate" button? But anyway there's the link to the actual agreement in an attempt to head off wild and uninformed speculation on exactly what one can and cannot do...realizing that there will inevitably be several posts doing exactly that...
And now, back to my day job as my company's intellectual property manager (yes, really)...
Outstanding work!
Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-END OF CHAPTER 21! (and hopefully not so many talking heads in 22!)

Posted · Edited by Kuzzter
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.
