Noname117 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I thought of the season 2, episode 7 thing, no match. I had also thought maybe production code 27, but no match either. Maybe the 27 is a red herring.Could there be a runway 27 (Or L2) somewhere in the series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinglurker Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 to me, the "ugly" SSTO looked like a ship from Star Trek- the one kinda like a bird.Is this a bad time to remind the world of the cloaking device mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmyers Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I created an account just to weigh in on this. Runways are numbered with the direction you are heading, dropping the last 0. 90 at one end, 27 at the other. This would indicate he was taking off to the west, Possibly from KSC. Maybe an alternate world where Kerbin rotates the other direction?BTW, Excellent work Kuzzter! It is joy to read each new page. Thank you for doing this for us!

Glad you weighed in on this; I was just about to post a comment that the 27 was for Carlton Fisk because I'm a Red Sox fan, but then again no Sox fan would ever erase a 9 (Ted Williams), even to write a 27.

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 to me, the "ugly" SSTO looked like a ship from Star Trek- the one kinda like a bird.Romulan bird-of-prey? Or Klingon?

Sharkman Briton Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 AAAAHHHHH!!!1! *flails at light switch* Just for that, I'll only post ONE page this morning...http://i.imgur.com/WHBXRP8.pngThats one thing on page 27.- - - Updated - - -Okay, I shall never bring it up again.On a final note however......http://i.imgur.com/Q5dSQPY.jpgThis is on page 27 too, caught my eye. Maybe it means something?- - - Updated - - -But maybe Kuzz is dropping hints to do with 9. Gonna check up on page 9.- - - Updated - - -Looking back on page 9 I found some interesting stuff, although it may not tie in with our current mystery.Kahn Kerman might be the inspiration for Martystu.The bad guys might have something to do with Jool or even Dilsby, speaking of Dilsby... We haven't heard from him for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I doubt that Kuzzter had this planned all the way back in August. I think that the 27/09 thing is a red herring, so far as page numbers are concerned. However, the significance of them taking off in opposite directions is probably important.

My guess is that this is more recent, perhaps as recent as the last 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyunchClick Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Oooh... mysteries! Is there a rival space program where every kerbonaut has a goatee?They might just. Referencing that "star trek episode where good and evil kirk&friends are mixed up right?I tried wiki'ng Star Trek TOS episode 27, but that one deals with parallel universes and has nothing to do with the Romulans or otherwise.Well, perhaps Kuzzter was inspired by that star trek episode, and just continued on in a startrecky-back-guy style? Plus, the alternate universe angle would tie it to the episode with the goatees which was also an alternate universe. Runways are numbered with the direction you are heading, dropping the last 0. 90 at one end, 27 at the other. This would indicate he was taking off to the west, Possibly from KSC. Maybe an alternate world where Kerbin rotates the other direction?Does the regular KSC runway have a 27 at it's east end? I like the idea though but if this is right it probably means it's not a star trek episode reference or vice versa. I'm leaning towards the alternate universe angle tho. Kerbfleets universe is pretty happy-go-lucky place, an alternate setting that's diametrically opposite to it may just be what a writer looking for a break needs?

I think the only significance is that the SSTOs took in different directions, and what ever we can make from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefrums Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Some quotes from the interlude taken completely out of their context:"Probes can do almost anything a kerb can, and they always do what you tell them.""what if .. they did exactly the opposite""things I don't think a kerbal would ever do. Could ever do"And why do that evil SSTO have what looks like a grabbing claw at the front? Edited October 28, 2015 by Nefrums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to take off to the west to get to orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just had it take off the other way to show us that it's opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkman Briton Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Cockpit's don't equal people all the time, Kuzz might of been using it for aesthetics, or the "probes" are robots that need to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but I might have left a clue somewhere else on the Forum, you never know...) In general the simplest explanation for the visual evidence is the best, I'm running a comic strip here not a cryptography course And why do that evil SSTO have what looks like a grabbing claw at the front?Because it has a grabbing claw on the front, that's why Hmmm... but the question is: "is there someone in the cockpit ?" xDWell, I certainly didn't show you anyone in the cockpit, did I? But then again I didn't show you poor Gemmane's face either. I will say this: I don't clip parts, even on evil SSTOs...and I also don't launch SSTOs that aren't capable of landing back on runway 27 (or 09, as the case may be) after completing all parts of their missions.There, that should be good for another few pages of comments... very glad the mystery seems to be entertaining everyone, because I am still working on Pt3 of the Interlude. (it requires some custom building... nothing as complicated as a new, super-ugly SSTO and doctored runway surface, but still time consuming) Hope to have it for you tomorrow sometime. Don't hold your breath on the mystery though, the concept for Pt3 doesn't necessarily include any more information.

Deddly Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Nice theory about evil probes, but there does not appear to be a probe on the "ugly SSTO" (which I, personally, don't think is ugly).Best guess so far is mirror universe, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
