Okay, i got an idea from this page:http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1270399 starting with a background template we should develop houses and huts and things from the ground up, each adding his own little addition. Rules: 1) Add things in technological progression (i.e. no stone buildings before a mine etc) 2) Have fun 3) No ruining other peoples stuff for the sake of it 4) NO .JPEG IMAGES 5) It's pixel art but if you think you want to make something but think you're a bad drawer send it to me or someone else via pm and we'll refine it for you 6) no anti-aliasing 7) 1 addition per post Ill start with a template: A small grass hut to begin with.

Chapter 6 Stir fried Kerbals Jeb: How's Jack and Bill doing on the Sky III? Richard: Last comment we received, they had celebrated breaching 80000m in altitude Jeb: *seethe* Richard: Jeb you know your next mission is Sky V, it's pointless to be jealous! Bill *static* Richard: Sky III? this is mission control over! Bill: *static* Holy Kerm! lost communications for ages there. Richard: Richdorf and Werner are working on a solution, how's the flight? Jack: Going well so far, about to descend to 55000. Richard: Ill notify Bob, wait! Bill: What? Richard:Last we spoke to you was 13 minutes ago, how high did you reach? Bill: Apoapsis recorded as 89,786m why? Richard: That steepness is going to be painful on re-entry! Bill: Oh my Kerm! Richard: You two need to point towards retro grade, do you still have the stage attached? Bill: No Richard: KERM! Okay, this is going to be incredibly dangerous, but you need to lose altitude. If you stay in that layer of the atmosphere too long you'll be burnt up! Jack: How do you suggest we do that? Richard: Bill! I need you to climb to the roof of the capsule and unscrew it from the inside. Bill: That's to the parachute! Richard: Just do it! Bill: Done. Richard: Reach inside and find the staging clamp 2 for the rope closest to you. Bill: Done. Richard: Use your screwdriver to fire that independently. Bill: Oh I see. Jack: What does that do? Richard: When you fire the parachute normally the air compression will rip through the capsule. What Ive done here is set it so that it pulls you at an angle away from the damaged hull. Bill: I just hope it works. Three minutes later Richard: Kerm knows i hope i did the right thing! Kurt: *eating a cream bun* Try the intercom. Richard: Yes ill do that. In the Sky III Jack: We're out of the bad part Richard:Sky III, Sky III, come in Sky III. Bill: Yes Richard? Richard:Thank Kerm your alive! the only threat now is if the capsule buckles underneath you. Jack: Speaking of landing, according to the new fancy radar altimeter we're 600m to ground. *rustle* Jack: Parachute on cue. Richard:Notify me of anything unusual. Back in the Junkyard Jeb: Have they been killed in a horrendous accident yet? Richard: No, they're nearly landing. Intercom:Incoming message from Sky III Richard: Yes Bill? Bill: Richard, you won't believe this... Jack:*shouting from far away* Bill! Get a camera! Richard: Why, is it some sort of ancient civilization? Bill: Yes...

Chapter 5: A trashcan made for 2 At the launch Pad Jeb: last minute checks everyone, I don't want to die in a horrible explosion at 20km up. Richford: Jeb Relax! Jeb: Ill try to relax on top of 20m of explosives, yeah ill do that. Jack: What are you so worried about? the decouplers have been tested 18 different times each in different environments,the fuel pumps are working properly, everything's fine! Jeb: What if the new Lv808 fails and I'm stranded up in space! Bob: Jeb! what have you been drinking! you don't get stranded in space without an orbit and I'm up here with you! Jeb: I know guys, I'm sorry, I guess I'm just paranoid. Bill: Understood. Just let Bob do the important work and you try to relax. Josh: Besides, there is a special gift somewhere in the pod but I wont tell you where it is until you are in space. Jeb: Thanks guys, I'm surprised you're still here ever since my paranoia about this mission set in. 3 minutes later Richard: 5...4...3...2...1... and LIFTOFF of Jebediah and Bob kerman in Sky II Bob: Wow! this padding is really helping! Josh: Thank you. Richard: Everyone else off the line, only mission control can talk to the astronauts. Jeb: This is far better than the first flight! Richard: We took Loads of time and care into Sky II Jeb: Now I realize just how much I was worrying over nothing about! Richard: That's what we're here for! now go out there and become the first Kerbals in space! 3 minutes later Richard: Okay this is the big one, 5,4,3,2,1, VOOOOOOOoooooommm... Richard: That's the engine shutdown, now for the decuopler... Bob: That's one...two...three...four... and activating. BANG! Bob: Lower stage separation complete. Richard: Now activate the LV-808 Bob: Stage 3... stage three, stage three-three-three-three....ah! found it! vum vum vurm vuurm vuuuurm VURRRRMMRMRMM VMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Bob: Engine nominal, check altitude and attitude Richard: Roger that Sky II, altitude at 34500 and rising, attitude... heading at 91 22' 38" at 68 34' 12" above the horizon. Jeb: Now it's coasting to space! Crowd: *cheers* President Ilthorp: and now welcoming the hero of our nation! Jebediah Kerman! Crowd: *cheers* Jeb: Thank you! Thank you! Bob: Just one thing before the party! Jeb: What? Bob: You're muttering in your sleep! *switches view to reality* Jeb: Huh? Bob: You're muttering in your sleep! Richard: Mission control to Sky II Bob: Receiving over. Richard: You two are about to cross into space, altitude 68300 meters and rising. Bob: Lucky timing, Jeb's just woken up! *ksp space music* Bob: What's this track? Richard: That'll be the music we selected based on altitude, well done boys, you're in space! Jeb: FIRST! Josh: Now about that gift, Jeb: yes? Josh: It's hidden underneath the flight instruction manual. Jeb: Over here somewhere... Oh HAH! Bob: What is it.. hahaha! O wow HA! Josh you sneaky little Kerbal! XD Josh: Proud of it mate Richard: What is it? Jeb: This is the bottle of Kermleaf cider i kept as a joke in case we became REALLY High on Kermleaf cigarette, I guess Josh took the meaning of 'high' to a whole new level! Josh: I found it in the junk pile when we were simulating an explosion of the LV-808 and saw the message. Jeb: I am SO the first kerbal to drink this.

Chapter 4 On the twelfth day of Kerbmas probodobodyne sent to me... In the junkyard... Bob: Jeb, the Sky II's not looking so hot right now. Jeb: I think you're right, but there is nothing left to do! Richford: We could get a contract? Find someone who will give us a lot of money for putting up a few billboards? Werner: Ya, that could verk. Jeb: But who from? The last time we got a man at our door with a deal it was from the K.U.T.F! Kurt: I think I've got a candidate for you Jeb, some company called Probodobodyne asked me to help them develop flight computers a while back, try them. Jeb: Do you have a number? Kurt: Yeah lets see....0102..3345...8898 Jeb: ...8898 got it! At Probodobodyne HQ *RING RING...RING RING RI-* Melanie: Hello, this is Melanie, Probodobodyne Incorporated, whats that?.... a deal you say? Jeb:Yes,we're Jebadiah Kerman's Junkyard and rocket parts and we're looking for a cash deal. is that okay? Melanie:Yes er em, what were you thinking? Jeb:How does Billboards for your company and a couple of flight computers sound for a grant of 2.5K kuros? Melanie: Only 2500 Kuros! to get advertising to this company Id pay 300K kuros! Jeb: Take a ride towards Outer Kafrica, address is 11 Jolane street,Outer Kafrica, Kafric Region, KF19 5TR Y66, and meet us at our company at say,Kersday the 25th of Kerbuary? Melanie:Sure deal! *hangs up* YES! YES! YES! Swanson: What's going on here! Melanie: WE DID IT SWANSON! ADVERTISING FOR PROBODOBODYNE! Swanson: Finally!!!! Melanie: oh the boss is gonna like this! Kersday the 25th of Kerbuary Swanson: Are you sure this is the right place? Melanie:Yes I'm sure! Jeb:You must be Melanie and Swanson! welcome to the junkyard, I'll give you a tour of the rocket, Sky II that is, you give me that cash and computers and I'll set up the billboards! later Melanie: Wow! Jeb: Yeah she's quite the beauty isn't she! those oil cans on the sides are the RT-4's or 'trashcans as they're called here, the main stack has the LV-8 design liquid fuel engine with a cylindrical tube on the top for the propellant, above that is the, rather primitive... Joe: HEY! Jeb: sorry, decoupler, and finally we have the capsule at the top! Melanie:fascinating! Jeb: over here is the way to the launch stands where the billboards will be set up and... Josh: Jeb, sorry to interrupt but there is a major problem needing fixing! Kurt: It's members of the K.U.T.F! Jeb: Sweet paprika of Kafrica! what do they want now! err Kurt show our visitors to the stands and exchange the cash and whatnot Josh come with me! K.U.F.T member 1: Jebediah is it? Jeb: err yes! K.U.F.T member 2: We're on to your little game of astronauts and it has gone on long enough! K.U.F.T member 1: Any further actions in the realm of aerospace will result in closure of this company! Josh: Idiots! Do you expect us to believe that one company will have the ability to close down another?! K.U.F.T member 2: Are you familiar with Rocomax? Jeb: Yeah, I used to help them out with construction a couple of years ago. K.U.F.T member 1: But are you aware that another,identical company called Rockominimum once existed? Jeb: What? K.U.F.T member 1: Oh yes! they were keen on the skies as well but that led to an unfortunate disappearance of the company... K.U.F.T member 2: ...and the reinstatement of Rocomax, different name, different head, same plans. Rocomax was thought to be the exact same company only with a new name and CEO, but in secret they were... Jeb: puppeted by K.U.F.T! K.U.F.T member 1: all in one! K.U.F.T member 2: Rockominimum was caught and puppeted to rival any other claims to space. but the plan failed when 'Sky I' was launched. K.U.F.T member 1: and if you don't want to befall the same fate of Rockominimum, I'd suggest stopping what you are doing right about now! Jeb: You can't do anything to put my company down! K.U.F.T member 1: only time will tell... *both walk off* Josh:that was scary... Jeb: sure was... Kurt: does either of you want a cream bun?

Chapter 3 Flight At mission control Jeb:Werner and Wilford, this is Jeb, is the fuel in place? Werner:Ya Jeb: Sounds good going over there now Bill: The Sky I is finally ready for flight! 4 minutes later Richard: T-10...9...8...7...6 Bob:This is the most exciting thing in my life! Richard: 3...2...1, trashcans lighted...main engine ignition and...LIFTOFF of the Sky I Jeb:Holy Kerm these G's are high! Bill:Ir nor riurt! Bob:I cant believe it flies! Jeb:Well you made the trashcan RT-1's up, without that this puppy could have never flown! Bob:But still... Richford:Guys, stay focused here, trashcan decouplement in T-30 seconds Bill: Gotcha! Jeb: Give Kurt my gratitude, the controls are so simple even a Kerblet could understand it! Chink Bill:That doesn't sound good... Richford:Affirmative Bill, only 7 out of the 16 explosive bolts on trashcans 1 and 2 have fired. Jeb:You mean they're still attached?! Richford:That would appear to be the case, if something doesn't detach them soon we'll have to go to emergency. Bob: I know a way to fire them again, but it'll be hard and I need a screwdriver Bill: Got one right here *hands over screwdriver* Bob: First I need to unscrew the panel,then snip this, cut that push, those together and re-switch it... CHUNK Jeb:Bob you're a genius!
