hidude398 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 @Just Jim Fair enough. I just finished the last panel in ch 17, though. I've got to say the two events do have striking similarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about that long for a deorbit burn, atmospheric entry and 'land'* at KSC (especially if gliding/powered flight is needed), given that it's over the desert by the last panel.... *possibly not the correct term for a warhead.

greenTurtle1134 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 General order Aleph-One: Completely and totally disregard any transient scanning contact or apparent sensor glitch if and only if it makes more narrative sense to do so... (then) 22 hours ago, Angel-125 said: Where's The Kraken when we need it the most? Maybe the Kraken teleports to Kerbin orbit to deflect it! Maybe the Kraken dies doing so! I'm not sure if @Kuzzter is going to write Kerbin being destroyed. Then again, he might, and we might get a Duna Attacks style "Speaking from the smoldering remains of KSC" episode.

AviosAdku Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 My guess is that, seeing the Kerbulan's expedition lacks the firepower to do make a large scale impact on Kerbin itself (they don't have nuclear warheads) they most likely will be targeting Kerbin's space infrastructure, one piece of advice for Gene and the KSC crew: Duck and Cover (and probably get away from the buildings).

Dman979 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Kuzzter, thank you soooo much for putting the last panel in a spoiler. The tension was thicker than a bowl of oatmeal! I suggest leaving that page there, so future readers can have the same experience. Also, thank you for not ending that update on the second-to-last page. That just would have been sadistic! As for the debate about where Kuzzter is going next, I think that he'll keep mum about it. There was a major argument on this thread about where he was going for this comic requiring the mods to step in, and I don't think he'll repeat that anytime soon. As he's said, "One word to the wise is enough!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
