Reveal hidden contents Good point... I've been constantly laughing ever since Grand Theft Spacecraft happened in E:O0. I hope Jeb and Bill were being sincere about Kenlie being the fifth Hummlebeetle, he's just such a nice guy you want the best for him.

Alchemist Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 As much as people claim him to be dead, Kraken sometimes returns if not to swallow his prey right away, then to stick his tentacles into the controls and make it turn itself into a better dish. And then the crew of the Intrepid will find some body on this small brown moon, won't they? I still recommend caution - never presume the Kraken fully dead even if you see that with your eyes.

But it does feel like they left Vall rather suddenly after making such a ground-breaking discovery. One might have thought they would have stuck around a bit - for science. I think I might leave quickly too if my science officer reported a huge EM spike from the enormous and mysterious alien artifact I just activated. Happy landings! My, but this forum software truly sucks when using from a tablet. Edited October 27, 2016 by Starhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... YES! *waves hands* Poor little evil dude, I actually feel sorry for him now And yeah, I really am pretty low on oxidant--Qwammer reached Intrepid with only a few drops left. There's only enough left in the ship's tanks for one full refuel of Qwammer, meaning that if anything went wrong there would be nothing left for Skimeroo. So, it's legit! (what? Pay no attention to that 1500 units of unconverted ore!) Off we go to Bop, to refuel! Let's see if Sub-Legate Newdun gets away before Sarge's scansat arrives, and if Bill really can "take care of" the rest of the evidence.

Deddly Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nice handwaving. I feel that this episode made the whole story run more smoothly! And yeah, poor Wehrford. The biggest mystery now is: how come the Kerbulans don't explode into a cloud of dust? I'm willing to assume that it's the same for the Kerbals, but we haven't observed a Kerbal death yet in this universe. EDIT: Oh, and ... four guys with space madness?

Mister Dilsby Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just now, Deddly said: The biggest mystery now is: how come the Kerbulans don't explode into a cloud of dust? Well, generally when we see a death poof it's the result of a high-speed impact or other extreme trauma. Asphyxiation due to being yanked out of your cockpit without a helmet, that's different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ah, interesting point! And who are these four mad guys? I thought there were only two in each space program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemecium Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I thought the reason for Kerbal death poofs was to release the spores contained inside them so they might grow into another grassy mat that spawns new Kerbals. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are of course Kurt, and Not-Kurt who is also Melgee, who lived in a large piece of cheese on Mimnus. But you forget pilot Dongun, who is bread, so you should butter his arm and not put salsa on it, and his engineer Billy-Bobby who made to home-go ALL the cheese with a spectacular claw grab! /madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to KerbalX, is it really possible to upload saves? 1 hour ago, Kuzzter said: Let's see if Sub-Legate Newdun gets away before Sarge's scansat arrives, and if Bill really can "take care of" the rest of the evidence. I wonder when the Kerbals figure out that the uploaded data not only contains al the information about them, but also includes everything about the Kerbulans. And since the kpad is connected to Kerbnet every F5 gives them an update. Edited October 27, 2016 by Chemp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_creative Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Why do Kermulan ships not have armor? That probably would have saved him. Although armor vs. 32 missiles doesn't help so much... I don't even know who to shoot missiles at anymore... I don't want to hurt the almighty deep space kraken, but I feel a little sorry for the Kermulans now... Jeb: Oh, by the way we were testing a new probe at Bop recently. It had bloaking devices and all kinds of cool stuff, but something smashed the viewport and threw it into Jool. WHAT?!? Jeb: Jool. Not Bop. I think it was the deep space octopus. The deep space kraken's cousin. GRRRRR... Jeb: It didn't have any weapons on it. It was just a probe. GO AWAY! Jeb: awwwww... Edited October 28, 2016 by max_creative JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB!!!!!

Garrett Kerman Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Looks like the Kerbulans have expended all their ammo. Heh. Wait... AAGHHHH!!!!!!!! (Ducks as Japanese Zero misses aircraft carrier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also referring to the scene after that (though the mug is much brighter) and the one two scenes later, where the Koffee mug, in all its pristine glory, sits on the map of the world. I assume that the dear departed Supreme Leader surely must have had a delayed *poof*. Now that I think about it, that may explain some of the allure of violent murder among the Kerbulans: there's no body to hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an interesting scene if Sarge's SCANSat finds him and the Intrepid brings him aboard to find out what happened, and learns about the Kermulans!
