It's almost like some weird KSP version of the Matrix.... :rolleyes:

Except one where Neo and Agent Elrond are the same person... just mirrored.

I'm honestly curious how this all works out. Surely Shirley won't just wake up from a bad Holodeck Halucination.

Maybe or maybe not--but in Kerbfleet we say "strutty-eyed booster kerb" :wink:

Missile kerb.  Gene was only thinking it at the time, but it was definitely missile kerb.  Duna, Ore Bust! Chapter 2, Page 5:  Jeb was throttling the LFB manually to avoid a flip when Hummlebee launched.  Honestly, I'm a little less concerned that I looked it up and a little more concerned that I knew exactly where to look and got it in one try.

Of course, if the author would care to retcon, it is a comic.

@Soda Popinski:

missile man is someone who operates (or builds, I suppose) guided missiles, which are in the direct ancestry of the Apollo program (Saturn came out of Jupiter, which came out of Redstone, which was a suborbital ICBM (that also carried some Mercury capsules)).  Unfortunately, aside from the space program, there is no non-weapon reference to guided missiles, and since the space program itself derives from the weapons, that doesn't count as a non-weapon reference either (the Titan II that launched Gemini was developed as an ICBM, as well, and carried several launch profiles in its guidance computer--it could just as easily take astronauts to Moscow as to orbit).  On the other hand, rockets before the twentieth century were weapon systems, too, but Kerbfleet doesn't have a problem with using the word rocket.  On the gripping hand, remember that for all the similarities, the Kerbal Space Program can have arrived at the same concepts of peaceful rocketry without needing to have coursed through warfare to do it--and the Kerbals themselves may not know how it was done.  Remember Nimzo not knowing how it was possible for a pod to rescue another even though it, itself, needed to be rescued.

What the heck did that missile hit? Also, IN YOUR FACE, KERBULANS!

Both of Bill's faces: ....UH OH. That made me laugh so hard! Though I was expecting "ITS A TRAP!"

P.S: Man, I can't type today, I accidentally typed KERBULABS!

Well, let's just say that there aren't quite as many Kenlies at the end of this update as there were at the beginning...

And what kind of impact is that going to have on the not-so-evil Kenlie? Is experiencing the death of his counterpart going to drive him into some deep space madness, or will it free him to lead a 'normal' life?
