Hype for the next part activated.

hehe

Coming out this afternoon... a Gilly probe and possibly our favorite couple...

Interlude- Koffee Break and a Transfer

"So," Tandin said as he attached one of the solar panels to the probe core, "We're sending this to a moon 13 kilometers in radius?"

"That's one way to look at it," said Bill.

"Another is to look at Wernher and that intern of his- what's her name- Hayla or something- and fall over laughing," said Gus.

Tandin aimed his wrench at Gus and whacked him across the shoulder. Gus grabbed a hammer and did the same to Tandin. Bill yanked the two fighters away from the melee.

"Gus, shut up. Tandin, go take a break."

Tandin hitched a ride to the Astronaut Complex, and made his way to Calmin Kerman's Koffee Co. He was met by Hayna, drinking a cup of iced tea.

"Hi," said Hayna.

"Hello," replied Tandin.

Tandin ordered a mug of Kraken Special and a scone, and sat with Hayna.

"How's Gilly 1 coming along?" asked Hayna.

"Good, although the fur really flies between Gus and me. He called you a clueless intern, by the way. I'm planning on transferring to the R&D and doing Rocket Design."

Hayna giggled. "And you'd see more of me."

Tandin grinned. "This transfer is sounding better and better. Anyway, how's life in the R&D treating you?"

"Good, good. Wernher calls to me 'his little prodigy'. I've been hanging out in the Science Archives, reviewing older experiments."

"That's nice. Well, if you'll excuse me, I believe I have a little transfer form to handle."

Chapter 7- Gilly 1

The Discovery rocket blasted off, heading into the sky and beyond it.

Reporters, scientists, members of the Gilly-is-Great club and a certain kerbal couple were watching.

Gene and the gang in Mission Control plotted a Eve intercept, from which they would encounter Gilly.

Gene breathed a sigh of relief. 

"Entering the Eve system!"

"Begin capture burn."

Several pictures were captured of the purple planet.

Gene brought the engines online and burned a Gilly intercept.

"We are now in visual range of Gilly!"

 

"Doesn't have a lot of gravity," muttered Linus.

A wrench to the shoulder must hurt like heck, Gus is a badS for not even screaming.

Tandin must be too- he got hit by a hammer.

And Bill should get a +5 courage boost for stopping an attempted kerbal slaughter.

Chapter 8- Moho 1

The launch was perfect.

The systems performed well, and Gene and the gang were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Gene plotted a burn onto Moho's orbital tilt.

And then, he plotted a Moho intercept.

The stakes were high- missing Moho would mean speeding out of the solar system.

And all were silent as the pictures rolled in.

Gene began the capture burn.

And the craft achieved orbit.

I wanna go to Moho now...

Regarding the Wrench and Hammer, I think I was thinking of the wrong type of wrench, you probably mean the small ones.

[KerbalCorgi]

The medium sized ones

Interlude- Pioneers

"So, we have decided that, for now, the probes we have on the inner planets are good enough."

"Well, that's nice. I don't have to -"

"Don't even start, Mort," said Tandin as a hammer flew across the room and nearly took off Mort's left ear. "Try that again and see what happens." 

Mort may be snobby, but he wasn't stupid.

"Our next job is to send landers to these planets, and from there, begin manned missions. The probes to the outer planets will still go, but now, we focus more on Kerbin's local system."

"And, Gene, what do you have in mind?" asked Val.

"Oh, me and Wernher were thinking along the lines of a Remote-Controlled Robotic Exploration Rover."
