Hey Jeb Kerbulan! 

Question: The hospital? What is that? :P

It's a building with sick people in it, but that's not important right now.

@Kuzzter - And don't call me Shirley.

You know, the one thing any comic needs is a Queen soundtrack.

All apologies... no, wait, that's Nirvana.

Is this the real life?
Webcomic fantasy?
Dead in the next slide,
Never make it to act three.

Open your eyes,
look up to the skies, and press 'Z'
I'm just a red shirt, I get no sympathy
because I'm easy come, easier go,
stress is high, fuel bingo
anyway the bits blow, doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Wernher, just killed a kerb,
Stuck him in an MK-1,
pressed 'Z' and now he's done.
Wernher, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and launched it all away.

Wernher, oooOOOoo
Didn't mean to make him fly,
If he's not back again this time tomorrow,
launch again, and again, as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my flight has come,
A launch with no return
No retros will I burn
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and reach the Mun.

Wernher, oooOOOooo,
I don't wanna fly,
I sometimes wish I'd never been spawned at all.

I see a little kerb stuffed into a can
Parachutes! Parachutes! Did you attach a heat shield?
Thrusters they are firing,
very very frightening indeed!

Jebediah (Jebediah)
Jebediah (Jebediah)
Jebediah won't you go.
Gene says no oo oo oo oo oo

I'm just a red shirt, nobody loves me.
He's just a red shirt meant to die on page three
make sure when you kill him he's just off screen.

Easy come, easier go, will you make me go?
Press Z Now (No! We will make you go) I won't go!
Press Z Now (we will make you go) I won't go!
Press Z Now (we will make you go) I won't go!
We will make you go
no no No No NO NO NO!

Valentina, Valentina, Valentina I won't go
Bill and Bob have a lander set aside for me, for ME, for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So you think you can launch me and make me go fly?
So you think you can launch me and leave me to die?
Oh, Wernher, can't do this to me Wernher,
Just gonna get out, just gonna go EVA here.

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
I am just a red shirt. I am just a red shirt in act three!

(breaking through the fourth wall!)

Brilliant!  It was definitely time for a musical number.

Thank you.

Happy landings!

So, Wernher is origionally from Kerbulus and is actually an exile? Maybe?

I remember that one person guessed that Wherner was a Kerbulan way early on. Actually, we don't even know if Mort is a Kerbulan robot or not, yet. That was another theory from long ago...

You're right, exactly one month ago. Good call, @smjjames

I would not be surprised if he prefers his koffee with a little splash of THE BLOOD OF HIS ENEMIES poured on the grounds before brewing. It gives the final product a more rich, hemoglobin-y flavor.

Koffee is a drink best served cold? :)

I was expecting some backstabbing (maybe even at "peace" negotiations, removing several leaders at once), but with a cup of coffee - that was unexpected. That's some ingenuity worthy of Kerbulan leader

Improvisation! Still, considering that Kerbals can survive lithobraking at terminal velocity IF they hit the ground head-on - that cup is made from seriously sturdy stuff :D

Where is it mentioned that she was hit on the head? Gene could have hit her somewhere else.

Also, it's the helmet that's indestructible, not the head.

Hooray! I was wondering just when the discussion would "recoil" again :)

A kofee cup strong enough to kill someone? What's it made of, @Kuzzter?

Fuel tanks that drain perfectly in zero g? OF COURSE!
Jet engines that fire underwater? NATURALLY!
Crew can teleport between lander cans connected only by open truss girders? WHY NOT?
Koffee cup strong enough to kill someone without breaking? NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!!

Thick enough kerthbinware would do it.

FTFY.

Mentioned? Well, I showed you as much as I thought appropriate in light of 2.2(c), you'll have to connect the rest of the dots yourself. But you missed the obvious solution: Gene's koffee mug is made out of surplus helmet material. :cool:

Hmm... It appears both Kermulan and Kerbal helmets are made of Indestructium.:cool:

Also I think the Intrepid, shoukd have a hull made out of it.

Death by Coffee Cup. Had to think of Vin Diesel before I found somebody else linked to that scene already...

Auch der Deutschlernende Herr Autor scheint die Lektion Werbewirksamefirmennamensgebung erfolgreich abgeschlossen zu haben.

Funny you should say that, @Alchemist...

I know it's not an exact V-2 replica but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! There's a probe core and batteries in the "warhead". Wernher's W-2 can SSTO, which means he can (and did) drop its payload all over Kerbulus. Eek!

And for those who don't recognize them, the M4 Sherman and F2A Brewster Buffalo images in the Alliance base picture are from the excellent replicas by @RixKillian! The thread for all his highly detailed stock WWII craft is here.

And that's all I'll have time for before the long weekend. Cheers all, and we'll continue the Zwischenspiel next week!

I heard that the first Mug was simply a scooped out head (complete with helmet) of a very much ex-enemy. A particularly daring minion offered up the current, more portable version as a gift - and was later quietly disposed of as an unusually intelligent and potentially dangerous rival. To this day nobody has dared to comment on the highly polished, slightly off-white lining of the Mug...
