A crazy scientist from Kerbin's equivalent to Russia wants to relive the glory days of his country's old space program. He lives alone in the woods, and he spends his time kidnapping male Kerbals who happen to go camping in that particular area. Then - through crude and improvised surgery - he joins them together by a very particular part of their bodies, connecting them to form a complex "space station" of his own design, where flies trapped underneath the external protective tissues serve as its crew.
