Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 22 pg 2: Yet >another< narrative device!

"Oh, that? I dunno, it was there when I landed."

I think we all guessed that the crashed saucer would be a part of this interlude, but I don't think any of us could have guessed how.

Bravo, @Kuzzter. bravo.

[Just Jim]

I'm not sure which I liked more... landing the saucer next to the saucer, or Werhner's reaction to that coffee cup... of doom.... lmao!!!

Makes me wonder if the crashed flying saucer was a previous attempt by Kerbulus to reach Kerbin...

It's not a crashed flying saucer.  It's one of the Kraken's lost tiddlywinks.

So why didn't Wehrner mention any of this back in the day?  You know, so his new home on Kerbin wouldn't get blindsided by an invasion?

That's a really good question. In fact--and you know I never, ever, do this--but, well, *clink* and all that--so I was going to wrap this up with Gene asking Wernher a few questions, and this was going to be one of them. SO-- if y'all have other questions for Wernher von the-artist-formerly-known-as-Kermulan ask 'em here and maybe--MAYBE! Gene Kerman will ask them for you, and maybe, MAYBE!!! you'll get a straight answer. Or at least a funny one. So, yeah. G'night! *clink*

[SpaceplaneAddict]

OK Wernher, why did you change your name? Why were you so paranoid? Why wer-

No, STOP! DON'T TAKE ME THERE AGAIN! AAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Kuzzter, you don't get enough credit for this saga. If I can get the crew to Mars we'll raise a flag to the series. Or at least plant a potato. o7

Is Wernher the only one without a doppelgänger? If so, that means that the Kerbals should have the upper hand in technology because they have the, in the words of Wernher von Kerman/Kermulan himself, "the same old lovable super-genius".

Wernher's doppelganger ended up with a bad reputation after he blew himself up on three consecutive occasions, and eventually gave up rocket science, shaved his mustache, changed his name to "Indiana", and became a professor of archaeology.

Seems fine on my end. Mail me your computer and I'll take a look at it  

And for everyone else-- LAST CALL for any questions you think Gene should ask Wernher before I finish the Zwischenspiel!

Gene - "Is there anything you would like to say to the viewers?"

Wernher -"What viewers?"

"Hey, not to pry, but what's with the moustache? It's kind of a taboo here."

"Cool ship. Did it always not have engines?"

"How many Kerbulans does it take to change a lightbulb?"

My guess would be "nein"

Edited June 14, 2016 by Angel-125

[Mister Dilsby]

And there we go! So, a confession: I did not expect to have Val know anything at all about the Kerbulans until... well, let's just say there were going to be sound effects in that panel. But as the story developed, I realized it had to go this way. Gene Kerman is no dummy, and neither is she. How will this affect what unfolds in the Jool system? I guess we'll all find out together!

Hopefully I answered all the questions in this update...oh wait! Here's another that just came in:

Annnd I'm gonna have to ask for your agonizer, @Angel-125

[something]

How many Kerbulans it takes to change a light bulb? Well, if Kerbulans do have a concept of light bulbs, then it takes two:

One to change the light bulb...

...and one to hold the coffee cup.

[Angelo Kerman]

Could not resist with that one (hands over agonizer, just be mindful of the gastrointestinal biological warfare agent, I'm primed to fire, and I'm told it's lethal...)

On a more serious note, one question that I haven't seen asked: are there more Kerbulans with views similar to Wernher?

Solid update, but I liked the explanation about the facial hair situation most. Kerbal being Kerbal of course pastry cooking could be potentially lethal as well.
