I never realized how long this thing was. I guess that's what happens when it gets spread out over 30 forum pages...

...or talk to him, depending on whether they think he might be useful to them...

Y'know, now that I think about it, I reckon that they may be able to find a job for Camwise. Flinging asteroids at Earth has been one of his considered career paths after all.

That would indeed be very interesting to know. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be of any help to Camwise. The Board (Trans Pacific / Trans Indian) do not know about the Surgeon or what he has told Sidke (and now Bartdon). The remaining Resource Companies and Sidke's Cooperative are basically ideological enemies. And even if the Board knew that Camwise was in danger, they probably wouldn't bother warning him. After all, he did destroy their station and steal several million funds worth of their hardware.

I can at least dream that Sidke might be successful enough in his revolution to find some records of that in time. Or hey, maybe Steledith will spot a new moon of Jupiter. Probably not though, it is just a spaceship after all. And the Board may not even have been monitoring Y13-H03 since they probably had bigger issues at the time. Either way the proximity detectors are probably not going to be major a story point but hey can't hurt to Chekhov's Gun everything.

Your user name and avatar seem familiar.... Were you reading this way back when I started? If so, thanks for sticking with me.

I don't recall ever posting in this thread, but I have been reading it for some time (maybe since the first installment but I'm not 100% sure about that.) I might have written some comment in Kerbfleet or Plan Kappa. Please don't check my post history though: most of it is elementary school me.

[THE BARTDON PAPERS - "Cancel all previous directives."]

Oh dear... I wonder where this leaves our poor Camwise, since we now know he intends to visit computers who full well intend to kill him. The biggest question I want answered is whether or not the Board received any pings from the proximity sensors on Y13-H03. If they were, then maybe Camwise could be warned about the new and improved danger Colonization Mission Seven poses. Or hey, maybe Steledith will discover a new moon of Jupiter.

Also, the Creators are the Combine from Half-Life 2
1. stops the reproduction of a species they dislike
2. spreads reach across space
3. conscripts species to do stuff for them
4. uses advanced technology
5. bioweapons against the people they don't like
6. they're weird tentacley things

Oh and I guess we have two luttes finales on our hands now.

edit: I really ought to edit my profile since I haven't been on the forums in the past 3 or 5 years.

By the way, for those of you who have read through the Logs, I'm genuinely interested: which of the following scenes did you find the most convincing and/or dramatic when you first read them..?

Definitely Camwise saving Cernin. It may just be because it was the first moment in that vein in the story, or maybe because it felt like there was more build up to it.

[THE BARTDON PAPERS - "Cancel all previous directives."]

So I've been rereading this, and saw the incident in which Kerski-Not-Camwise nearly died when the RLV stopped flying straight and the eject failed to work properly. What would you actually do if one of our intrepid narrators died to a right and proper accident?

Hmm... I just realized that.

[[1.2] Kerbal Kommander: a new way to play KSP]

Hey @gagarinekerman! I was trying to minmax my playthrough by recording the prices of every station but, to be honest, it turned into something tantamount to schoolwork quickly. By any chance, could you provide us with one?

Anyways, the mod looks amazing and I can see so much potential! I hope we see bases on every planet (except maybe Eve and Tylo) to mix things up and give you new places to search. Have fun working on the mod! (I guess.)

My work contained within the spoiler. Warning: It's lonnnnnnnng.

["Plan Kappa" - A KSP graphic novel (Jeb is back in Chapter 53! Well, kinda.)]

Spoiler

Alright, time for me to continue my theory about the thing that caused the spacetime degradation. For convenience, we will call it "Mold." Inside the spoiler is the page I'm using.

Artie calls the Mold "someone," so it should be an individual. However, there could be more Mold that has entered the Kappaverse since then. Artie-Jeb referred to what I presume is the Mold as "They." I've seen "They" used as a he/she pronoun before, but according to www.dictionary.com the relevant definition of "They" is "nominative plural of he, she, and it." Therefore, there must be more Mold that has entered the Kappaverse, likely using negative gravilolis to enter. 

Moving on, there is proof against more Mold. If we assume that the group Artie-Jeb is warning about is those in the flying saucers, it can't be Mold because Artie said that the Mold was out of his sensor range, yet the flying saucers crashed on Kerbin disprove this. Of course, all of this is assuming that the flying saucer was real.

In conclusion, there might or might not be more of the someone who caused the spacetime degradation. We can't tell so long as we don't know if the flying saucer is real.

 

["Plan Kappa" - A KSP graphic novel (Jeb is back in Chapter 53! Well, kinda.)]

Alright, time for me to stop lurking and toss this out there.

In my opinion, the thing Artie/whatever is warning about is far more important. It's obvious some entity is coming, but what could be that entity?

You can probably see where I am going with this, but I have to say it's whatever Artie said caused the spacetime degradation in the Kerbin system back in chapter 12.
