ANTHRAX Incident - A Kerbal Space Program fanfic

Been working on this for a bit:

'This is mission control to ANTHRAX-004, are you ready for a wild ride?

'Hell yes, I\'ve been waiting for a chance to visit the Mun' replied Dunham, with enthusiasm.

'Okay, The Button is ready. On your mark.'

Tension crept into the blast bunker, like no other. This was a completely new design unique to KSP. A small winged capsule, with a lander module was to be boosted by seven Multi-Purpose Expendable cores all the way to the Mun. It would then perform various science experiments, instrumental to the spaghetti-o production and packaging back home. Something with this much significance, with the power to affect their evening meals, was not to be taken lightly.

'Three'

'Two'

'One'

Nothing happened. The crew of ANTHRAX looked at eachother awkwardly. Just as Joe took hit soda out of the cupholder, the engines ignited. The metal can quickly hopped into the dashboard, frying the computers more crisp than a grilled burger.

'WHAAAAAAA!'

'Monty, stop crapping yourself! You\'re over that now, aren\'t you?' snapped Dunham.

'I can\'t help it! The vibrations are shaking it loose! Plus, the computers are fried, and we\'re screwed'

The entire world seemed to stop for a second. Without the computers, there was nothing controlling the ship! And the last rocket with a systems failure ended up as a hole in the VAB. Dunham reached with all his might to grab the joystick. But his arms were too short

'What the hell? Are these things made for six-foot beasts or something?' he cried. Suddenly, genius struck him. Dunham kicked the cord and it fell onto his lap.

'F*ck yes! Hang on guys!' He pulled the ship up thirty degrees, slamming Monty\'s helmet onto the back of his chair, and cracking it. The rocket was at the correct attitude now, but it still didn\'t please Monty

'Hey Dun, my helmet it broken!'

'What do you expect me to do about that? We\'re out of duct tape as far as I can remember.'

'But then I\'ll never perform my Munwalk.' Monty began tearing, and his eyes took a puppy-like appearance.

'Dude, keep it toge-'

MECO! The boys felt a jolt - the stage separation - and sighed from relief. With the second stage engine working perfectly, nothing could go wrong. At least they thought...

Aaaand that\'s the prologue. More will come, I promise!
