Oh, I love the Alan Parsons Project!!! Tales of Mystery and Imagination is one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time!!! But this latest last idea I had comes not from Mr. Parsons... No, this little gem comes from H.P. Lovecraft himself. I'm not giving away which story of his, because it may give away what direction I'm about to go in.... Just know that Lovecraft was my inspiration... and be afraid.... be very afraid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Chapter 28 Plans Within Plans Soon all the KASA department heads were gathered in the central conference room, and briefed on the situation. Around the table everyone wore a look of disbelief and disappointment, but no-one dared say anything against Gene. Inside, they all knew Gene would beat himself up more than sufficiently. The big issue, obviously, was how to proceed from here. Besides just designing a nearly impossible ship, a huge amount of infrastructure would need to be put into place. Refueling stations would be required, at least around Jool, and if possible, bases established on the other planets and moons to help with any repairs needed. Dr. von Kerman spoke up first, "I believe the first step would be to continue to send out probes and landers to the remaining unexplored bodies. The field test of our new Explorer series drones on Minmus and the Mun have been very promising, and I believe they will prove more than adequate." "Once we have accumulated more data from the probes, we will be able to begin designing our ship," von Kerman continued, "For now, I suggest we focus our efforts on securing contracts for new stations around Duna, Eve, and Jool, along with base contracts, if possible. We're going to need all the help and support we can get, and I'm confident we'll be able to bring in several of the major corporations, if they are approached right." Gene, silent up to now, raised his head, "Make it so." * * * Meanwhile, out on the runway, Parka B. Kerman was boarding his private jet to return to Rokea headquarters. Once the jet was moving down the runway, Parka reached over to his radio and switched it to a secure wavelength. "I am pleased to report they have taken the bait, just as you predicted." Parka grinned. Several seconds later a quiet voice answered over the intercom, "Outstanding. Our next step will require a great amount of cunning and finesse. Listen carefully..." Just then the pilot pushed the jet's engines to full throttle, and it lifted gently into the sky... And the sound of maniacal laughter filled the cabin... The Saga of Emiko Station is far, far from over.... Go to Chapter 29Return to Index Edited December 7, 2019 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnianBlue Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It appears all the bad things are happening to Gene Kermans in many stories... I feel that Parka Kerman is Darth Vader, and the voice in the intercom is the Emperor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrell called up to the USS Reliant in "Wrath of Khan". And no... it isn't Khan Noonien Singh either... 1 hour ago, Kuzzter said: I knew it!

Well, we may need a Eeloo base....and he can't live forever... Besides if he's that far away he can't cause any more trouble.....and it would be in his best interest to keep the base in good working order. Either way you look at it, KSC wins.
