Every time you see the Derpstar yell, "punch derpy no punchbacks!" and slug the person next to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good, but after reading that post I sat at my desk, working on some drawings, with "Eye of the Tiger" running continuously in my head for about an hour before I realized "I need to put some music on." *dun. dun dun dun. dun dun dunnnn....* Over and over and over...

Yeah, sorry about that.

Mister Dilsby Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Last flight! Sending up the second Gumdrop, a very compact Rover, Kenlie, and...

The rest of the crew would only be in trouble for aiding and abetting if they discover him before the transfer burn and don't kick him off the boat But as Heinlein used to say, "once the ship lifts, all bills are paid".

Dman979 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 A stowaway? Sounds like a case for Deeman Kerman, who is canon in Kerbfleet and artillery in Kappa! But I still need to read the comic first, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 It took me forever to find the post where Kuzzter listed the crew manifest. I have a guess as to who the mystery passenger is. I must say I was quite curious whether Kenlie would reveal any if his unusual experiences to his colleagues or command. That has yet to play out. Happy Concerned landings!

DUN DUN-- GENE: Ahhh…okay Walt, you can stop now—this is the last SSTO flight…Get ready, Samantha. The Intrepid will be in intercept position in three… two… one… mark! SAM: (taking off in Derpstar, with a yellow-uniformed Fleet pilot next to her in the cockpit) Here we go! [Z] [new page] SAM: You’re so lucky, Kenlie! I wish I got to go to Jool! KENLIE: (the other pilot in the cockpit) Lucky? Uh…. yeah, I suppose you could say that… …I mean, it’s not like they had a choice, right? There’s so many boats to fly, and I was the only Fleet pilot left on the roster. By the way Samantha, did you notice our takeoff mass was a little off? SAM: Yeah, by 94 kilos. Don’t worry, I corrected it. [view of the cargo bay containing a small rover and a Gumdrop lander. We see a yellow-uniformed Fleet pilot is sitting in the Gumdrop cockpit!] STOWAWAY: (thought balloon) Doo... doo doo doo... /notMRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my guess is correct, this is a Kerbfleet officer we've met before. Kuzzter doesn't tend to have too many magical occurrences in the stories (the crossover being a notable exception).

I can at least say it isn't one of them. Whoever it is, he really is a Kerbfleet pilot and he is on the roster--three star pilot, no less!

Only problem is, in the roster that you posted a bit further up the page, the only pilot that isn't already onboard is Kenlie, unless someone rode down by accident.

Sorry, that's the Intrepid's crew manifest. By roster I mean the list of available pilots, engineers and scientists that you get when you pull up a list of available crew to populate a craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
