I'm mashing up army and navy ranks, so here's the canonical list KF enzin = IF [haven't decided yet. Maybe 'aquila', but I don't know if I like the sound of that] KF jr. looty = IF sub-legate KF looty = IF legate KF lt. comder = IF centurion KF comder = IF subcommander KF captin = IF commander ...the latter two following Star Trek canon, of course 54 minutes ago, Deddly said: Nice touch with the mirrored title at the top. Great development of just how evil the villains are, all round. Is it time? Is it? It IS? Thank you! The BOOOO! HISSSSS! was one of my favorite parts of E:O0. These guys, though...maybe a bit less of a 'fun' badguy than Chairkerb Mort was. I'm not saying that at some point we will find out what color Kerbulan brains are, but I'm not saying we won't either. 2 minutes ago, Just Jim said: That's OK... this chapter deserves a double dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn Or a Star Trek "Daa NAAAAAAA!" 4 minutes ago, GregroxMun said: It looks like they found Kerbin before Kerbfleet found Kerbulus.

The Error Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Welp. Kerbulans and assassination (sorta) and a thickening plot, oh my. At least Intrepid is armed. Though I imagine the crew will be unlikely to realize / be capable of utilizing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Nice new suits on the Kermulans, resembles the silver jackets worn by the Romulans in TNG. I forget what the TOS Romulans wore though. Also, something wierd is up with their mouths. Either they have a beard kind of thing or something else.

I suppose some of them could look like weapons...you'd have to have, I dunno, a completely militaristic mindset to make that kind of mistake. 1 hour ago, smjjames said: Nice new suits on the Kermulans, resembles the silver jackets worn by the Romulans in TNG. Thanks! Not coincidence at all: I found a TNG Romulan uniform pattern somewhere and just scaled/stretched it to fit the sleeves and right torso. That lets the tunic color show on the left torso, of course, so we can tell Warrior Pilots from Intelligence from Whatever The Red Ones Are.

Windspren Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Doesn't the Intrepid have several clusters of highly radioactive engines? They could just point them at the Kermulans, or burn at them if they are feeling particularly nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kermulans would have to get pretty close though, might as well be a melee weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Error Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd quote @SpaceplaneAddict here, but my tablet browser is pitching a fit. As to armament; if you have engines, you're armed with a giant blowtorch. If you have probes, you have guided missiles. If you have remote-piloted auxiliary craft, you have torpedoes. And when all else fails, pointing the bow at something and shouting "ramming speed" tends to work out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's canon that using probes as guided missiles are a method that the Kerbulans used to destroy stuff (including Le Scansat ). Also, in the Crossoverlude, didn't Kenlie write of Martystu Kerman ramming a certain Mister Blocko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman979 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 IIRC, Kuzzter said something about the Jooldivers looking suspiciously like missiles a while back. Of course, we could always use Sarge's Weapons-Grade Vocabulary at them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketSquid Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If the Kerbulans sneak a spy onto the intrepid, the spy will most likely starve. If they intercept the radio transmissions, they'll probably at least learn the Intrepid's destination before the kerbulan radio officer hears Sarge talking and goes into a deep coma.

But kenlie could paint space RPG's on the probes.... Right? Or they could "accidentally" shoot them with the auxiliary engines (the big kerbodyne rhinos) and that works... Right? I don't know.
