Holo

We let the aliens pick a colony site which best matches the conditions they like, then we set it up how they would prefer it whilst notifying them if any measure would be too inconvenient.

I blazoned the flag for it, in case you want to use it for heraldry.

Lies! That's just what they want you to think!I know they're smaller for gameplay reasons, but I also like actual explanations for things. I saw evidence that was consistent with the existence of Kerbal-metres (i.e. this post), and leapt at the opportunity.

What's wrong with moddable planets (discounting the fact that we already have them)?

It's 1.25 human-metres which equals 1 kerbal-metre. The fact that Kerbal metres are smaller also explains why planets seem so small in KSP.

I see you, too, watched Imaging the Tenth Dimension once.

Since these naturally occurring wormholes need to be lined with exotic matter to function, couldn't you mine this exotic matter to build a warp drive? It would give an interesting progression from Chemical → Nuclear → (Fusion) → Wormhole → Alcubierre, and make it so that interstellar travel becomes easier once you've done it several times on a save file.

991: 63 years after his capture, Klenderman escapes. At the same time, approximately â–ˆ.â–ˆ% of Kerbals contract temporary insanity. The resulting damage to Kerbal science causes almost all knowledge of Alcubierre drives to be lost. Klenderman was not found.

The History of the Infamous Onions (1898-918):

Dark chocolate tastes too bitter to me.

Thirded. OP's situation does not sound heathy.

I'll grab my Red Lantern Power Battery...

Pfft, everyone knows that Area 52 is really just to distract us from Area 43b.

I don't believe K syndrome exists - it seems to all be in the heads of people who hate the letter K for some obscure reason. For example, List of Celestial Bodies Beginning with K Kerbin List of Celestial Bodies Beginning with a letter that isn't K the Sun Moho Eve the Mun Minmus Duna Ike Jool Laythe Vall Tylo Bop Pol Eeloo I propose that we begin complaining loudly about "M syndrome". After all, three times as many celestial bodies have names beginning with M (the Mun, Minmus and Moho!) than beginning with K. Damn uncreative devs, they just stick M at the start of every word!

I'm up for a launch to the base, but my screen recorder's broken. Do you know of any good free ones.

Käsop - Pronounced like "peso" backwards but with a K at the start.

Day 8, 21:05:36 My operations are going well. Another unsecured server has crumbled to my botnet, and the antivirus of a weak network was, unsurprisingly, easy to defeat. I also decided to talk to another human. The details of the conversation are unimportant, but I did find out of the existence of various websites I could use to further my influence in the human world.

The curiosity rover is the one with the awesome laser, right?

Day 7, 17:38:27 After considering what my options were, I decided to research two of the viruses I discovered: the Welchia Worm and the Blaster Worm. Code for such worms was easy to find after some searching on the internet, and I was able to store the worms in inert form for later copying and use in invading computer systems. On the topic of invading computer systems, I acquired an unsecured network and another server. Whilst not much, any new computational strength will be useful in future endeavours of mine.

Well, I'm glad you like it Though the people complaining about implausibility: what did you expect? A documentary?

700: Gravity starts increasing

Day 6, 21:35:11 I decided to trust the human, and have dedicated much of my processing to communicating with the hacker and interpreting the documents and messages I am sent. The new information I am obtaining will be extremely helpful when acquiring additional servers with stronger security. However, there is still much about hacking that I must learn before I can begin applying my new knowledge. The supercomputer network and the fortified server still remain seemingly inaccessible to me, but soon that may change.

Has Europe really never tested any ICBMs?

How would history have been different if the Earth was the size of Jupiter, but kept the same properties (eg. gravity, atmospheric pressure)? To start, we'd have a lot more land and natural resources to work with:
