2001 - A Kerbal Odyssey

[KAL 9000]

Do the Kerbals know it's only a game?

"Copy that, Munar 25. You're go for landing."

"100 meters... 50 meters... 25 meters... 10 meters up, 1 m/s... 1 meter, 0.5 m/s... Touchdown!"

"I'm getting out, Pilot."

"Ok, Woody, just be back before dinner! :wink:"

"So that's the Munolith... What's that strange symbol on it?"

"Hey, it's Heywood Kerman! Come on, we need the publicity photo!"

"I thought this was top secret? Never mind."

"What's that writing on it? 'Squad'? What's that supposed to mean?"

-- 18 munths later --

"Our trajectory looks good... What's next on the agenda?"

"I have detected a fault in the KE-36 unit. You will need to go EVA to fix it."

"Ok, I'm backing out of the pod bay now... That's odd, the KE-36 unit looks fine. Oh, well, I'm coming back in."

"MechJeb, open the pod bay doors."

"I'm sorry, Jeb. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"MechJeb, open the pod bay doors."

"I'm sorry, Jeb. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"MechJeb. Open the pod bay doors!"

"I'm sorry, Jeb. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"MechJeb! Open them! Now!"

"I'm sorry, Jeb. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"MechJeb!!!"

"I'm sorry, Jeb. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"Oh, well, I guess I'm going to Jool and back in a pod."

-- 3 munths later --

WARNING! SNACK SUPPLY DEPLETED! WARNING! SNACK SUPPLY DEPLETED!

"Dang it!"

"Wait a minute, what's that, near Jool? I'm going for a closer look... It's a black monolith, like the one they found on the Mun! What's that? 'Squad'? Hmm..."

-- At that time, on Vall --

Mysterious voice: "A Kerbal is approaching the monolith. Should we reveal the truth?"

Mysterious voice: "It's time, HarvesteR. We've waited so long for this moment."

HarvesteR: "Very well. I will activate the sequence now."

Suddenly, bright floating orbs appeared over the rectangular blocks of Vallhenge. The orbs shot out beams of light that met just above the largest pyramid spike of Vallhenge, creating an enormous orb on top of it. Then, orbs formed over the other pyramids. The orb on the smallest pyramid shot out a beam of light that passed through the other pyramidal orbs, joining the largest orb, which shot out another beam of light which flew to the monolith that Jeb was next to.

-- Back at the Monolith --

The monolith shone like a star now and sucked Jeb into it.

A strange light show greeted Jeb, who was rather confused by all this, but smiling as usual. Sights and sounds flashed by his spacesuit visor. Then, music started playing, and a rocket flew past. Jeb saw a spaceship that he recognized, with a few of his comrades in it. Then, he heard a voice, "Hullo, it's Scott Manley here..."

The strange vision vanished as soon as it had come, and other sounds came and went, such as "Hello, and I am the Beardy Penguin, and...". Every sound was accompanied by a video, although not all videos had talking, just music. Finally, black words appeared on the blank white background: Arriving at Mexico City, Mexico, KSP developer's conference table.

Jeb shot out of a computer next to the conference table, where the KSP developers were discussing bugs to be fixed for 1.1. Jeb said a cross between "Whee!" and "What the !@#$?!" The developers just stared as he bounced of the table and into another computer, where he faceplanted into the soil next to the KSC. Bill and Bob found him, and they worked out what all this craziness meant.

The End

@SpaceplaneAddict Never mind, I know it's not very good, but it's my first time writing something like this

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Isn't this supposed to be in the Fan Works section listing as [Writing]?

Anyway, I like it, no need for self sorryness.

[KAL 9000]

Dunno how to do that. Also, how did you get your description to be "rocket hater"?

[SpaceplaneAddict]

I'm the Lord of the Spaceplanes, ahem.
