Andem Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 So, after Wernher left, was he replaced? Perhaps by a Sergei Kerman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhawk Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Well, I think the name 'Fat Kerb' is pretty indicative of the payload. Happy Ominous landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for a satellite, but for an interplanetary dooms day weapon, it's not that big. If anyone has seen my ships in my mission report and stuff, you know I do not build small. 1 minute ago, Starhawk said: Well, I think the name 'Fat Kerb' is pretty indicative of the payload. See?!?

Mister Dilsby Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Hey, it's Friday! And I have some pages! I might interest readers who weren't aware to know that there really was such a letter in our history. And the kittehkatt's out of the cargo container--Wernher is indeed inside that fairing! With what else, I wonder? Well, there have been some good guesses already, and I think that at least one of you has guessed exactly right.

Just Jim Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Oh, brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I love how this is playing out! Wernher's guilt, and fear, of what he's doing and what's happening around him reminds me a lot of... well, we're not supposed to talk about it. But I think the parallel is very, very well written! And now Werhner is on that... thing? Whatever it is... doomsday device, or just a huge load of evil snacks... I'm super excited for the next installment!

Where did Wehrner find the time to shave between getting Agonized and handling the last beaker of green glowing goo? Surely that aroused suspicions? Or did he justify it by needing a good seal for his SCBA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andem Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 So I suppose that Werhner took all of the Death Star Nuclear Bomb Plans with him aboard the Fat Kerb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willbl3pic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) I didn't expect that. But where is the actual bomb? Is it with him? dundunduuun Also, why did he shave before entering the rocket? surely it would be easiest to do it just before landing. nvm Edited June 3, 2016 by Willbl3pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ohh, headcanon time! Obviously, facial hair plays an important role in Kerbulan society. This is due to the hierarchical nature of Kerbulan society. The upper ranks have beards. The middle ranks, like Wernher, have mustaches. The lower ranks, like all the VAB workers, don't have any facial hair, at all. @Geschosskopf Wernher used to be a middle-ranking officer. Then he was promoted, and grew his beard out. After he got agonized, he was demoted, and had to shave again. Besides, this is a flashback. We don't know how much time is between panels.

That could indeed have made the difference between war and peace--I, for one, have never gotten in a fight with anyone with whom I've shared Planters cheez puffs. 32 minutes ago, Geschosskopf said: But I wonder....

Oh, Wernher is getting agonized offscreen--that's his assistant/intern/whatever watching in horror, same Kerbulan you see with the clipboard next to the LV-N, and with the radioactive sample in his face that Wernher is holding with the tongs. But I do have an explanation for why Wernher only has a mustache--just haven't gotten to it yet. Fun Kuzzter fact: I did have an evil Kerbulan beard at one point, and then a 'stache, but both disappeared shortly before a trip to Hawai'i for reasons quite similar to the one @Geschosskopf describes. 31 minutes ago, Andem said: So I suppose that Werhner took all of the Death Star Nuclear Bomb Plans with him aboard the Fat Kerb?
