max_creative Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Dun dun dun! The Intrepid can't run away though because they're being followed. The only escape that I can think of for the whole crew requires Val being a space pirate. The Kerbals can't just have a Kerbfleet warship just come by and blow up the Kerbulans because they don't have any weapons. The crusier looks is unarmed and it's not done... MOAR Dun dun dun! Edited October 25, 2016 by max_creative It's not like I have a bunch of battleships just sitting around on the front lawn. Oh wait. I do... JEEEEEEEEEB!!!

Garrett Kerman Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Maybe Bob quicksaves and tries as many times he needs to evade his Kerbulan attackers. UNTIL THE F9 KEY BREAKS.

something Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The entire universe has been backed up recently on Vall. I guess we're now witnessing something à la "The Edge of Tomorrow"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Val might be able to eject, by opening the bridge bay. I rememberKuzzter talked about how unbuckling a Kerbal from a chair would eject them hard. I wonder what grabbed them!

Dman979 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) And The Ghost arrives. It looks suspiciously like a Kraken. Edited October 25, 2016 by Dman979 Not The Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) 'Who was that now?' 'Shhhh!' 'Ohhhh! Him!' Perhaps the Kerbulans are going to end being their own worst enemies. I wonder if Intrepid will pick anything up on it's sensors. Happy Tense landings! eta: I didn't look that closely the first time. Then I went back and re-checked the image. I must say that is brilliant! Beautifully done. Edited October 25, 2016 by Starhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terwin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Eye, Tentacle, and Beak look very much like the kraken was drawn to the bloaked vessels, almost as if they were kraken bait!

Best be aware of how your bloak works if it calls the kraken... Certainly--Wehrford isn't interested in how bloaking works, but a more inquisitive soul might wonder whether it's a light/radiation bending technology, or does the ship enter some kind of 'bloakspace' like Frodo when he puts on The Ring? If the latter, well, @Terwin might be on to something. 3 minutes ago, Starhawk said: Well the bloaking device is clearly kraken-based after what we've seen.

KAL 9000 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 @max_creative's transcript: Newdun Kermulan: ...so we just wait here, bloaked until the enemy comes? Wehrford Kermulan: Yes. Newdun Kermulan: Have you ever wondered how it works? Bloaking, I mean. Wehrford Kermulan: Such things are of no concern to a true warrior. One need only know how to use it to kill the enemy. Hail the Empire! Newdun Kermulan: Hail the Empire! Wehrford Kermulan: Now maintain radio silence unless you have something intelligent to say. Even our focused beam transmissions could be- Newdun Kermulan: What is it, Wehrford? Wehrford Kermulan: Nothing - a sensor malfunction. I'm getting a proximity alarm, but there's no- Wehrford Kermulan: Something's grabbed me! Something bloaked! Wehrford Kermulan: It's tearing my ship apart! Shoot it, Newdun, shoot it! Newdun Kermulan: But I'd have to un-bloak! And turn on my targeting radar! Our orders- Wehrford Kermulan: Screw the orders! Save me! Save- Wehrford Kermulan: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Evil Bill (Bill Kermulan): Hey, Recon Two just un-bloaked! Evil Bob (Bob Kermulan): -the heck? Evil Bill (Bill Kermulan): I'm detecting weapons fire! Newdun Kermulan: AAAAAAH! --Newdun's fighter fires missiles at the unknown enemy (possibly Martystu, possibly The Ghost, possibly The Kraken)-- There ya go.

problemecium Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well duh the Kraken is "bloaked." As Kuzzter himself noted, while many of us have been attacked, nobody has ever actually seen the Kraken because it's invisible. I dunno if that technically counts as bloaking, but that's just a matter of semantics. ...wait. The Kraken has yet to make a move on KerbFleet but is engaging in direct combat against the Kerbulans. Is the Kraken really the guardian of Kerbalkind? Its dark knight? Kodzilla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange events (oscillating parts, etc) were indeed observed during the construction of Micarooni Station, but that never made it to the comic. A NaN Kraken did appear when the flotilla crossed Kerbin SOI en route to Eve: Clauselle saved the day with an F9, and called it something that has been rendered in Standard Kerblish as 'Space Beet'. But, does a Kraken choose sides? Are there even sides, to such a beet? Er--I mean, "beast"?
