K.A.R.P. - GPP Career Adventures

[tygoo7]

I recently got an idea to do my next career mode in Mission Report form, because why not? 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K.A.R.P. 

A.K.A. Kerbal Administration for Rockets and Planes

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Longterm Goals to be achieved

Spoiler

1. Set up a self-sustaining colony on another planet.

2. Complete the tech tree.

3. Go Interstellar.

Some Rules

Spoiler

1. Rocket launches have a cooldown for 10 days but airplanes do not. (Stolen from Plan Kappa)

2. No lone kerbals on interplanetary missions.

3. No kerbal left behind.

4. Reuse as much as possible. (Stage Recovery)

5. No reverting or quicksaves, every launch is the real thing.

Lazlo Exploration Mission 1

Spoiler

Gene and Wernher are observing the mission from the Launch Site bunker.

Gene: Finally we have built our first rocket! The Lazlo 1! You really think this can work?

Wernher: Indeed. We put all of our research into designing this exploding tin can. It's mission is to fly up into space, perform a couple of experiments, transmit them back to KSC, then crash into the ocean to the east.

Gene: So what are we waiting for? Let's launch this tin can!

Wernher: Wow look at that thing go! I have never seen anything that fast!

Gene: Uh, we lost our antenna! It's going too fast!

Wernher: Do we still have connection?

Gene: Yes, we just don't have enough to transmit the science.

Wernher: ...

Gene: Alright it seemed to perform the experiments but it is unable to transmit. It's coming down now so get ready to watch the splash!

Wernher: There is still a chance it could survive the impact in the water.

Gene: Quite a low chance though.

Wernher: It doesn't look like it's going down in the water.

Gene: Uh oh.

Wernher: Science!

Gene: Hey some of it survived!

Wernher: The probe core didn't. But this gives me an idea...

KL-2 Rabbit Flight Test 1

Spoiler

Wernher: Here is our latest advanced aircraft! The KL-2 Rabbit! Fit with durable propeller technology, a cozy cabin, and smooth flight.

Gene: Great, is Jeb ready to fly?

Jeb: Ready!

Gene: Okay. Jeb, can you check the flight controls?

Jeb: What's that?

Gene: Wernher are you sure this our pilot?

Wernher: Indeed.

Gene: Alright Jeb, set the throttle to 100% and pull back on the stick gently.

Jeb: Roger.

Jeb: WOAH!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!

Gene: Jeb, calm down.

Jeb: Sorry Gene.

Gene: Alright Jeb, climb to a high altitude.

Jeb: Why is the world upside down?

Gene: Because you are upside down.

Jeb: Oh.

Gene: Alright Jeb, can you give us a written crew report?

Jeb: What do I write on?

Gene: The notebook in your cockpit.

Jeb: I don't see a notebook.

Gene: Wernher why is there no notebook?

Wernher: I put a notebook in the cockpit.

Gene: Well it's not there is it?

Jeb: Gene?

Gene: Jeb just find something to write on, we need that science.

Jeb: I'll write on the window.

Gene: No no don-

Jeb: I wrote on the window.

Gene: Alright Jeb, that's enough for the mission now come in to land.

Jeb: How do I land?

Gene: Wernher, where did you find this pilot?

Wernher: Some junkyard.

Gene: Great. Jeb, just gently pull back on the stick and the bird should do most of the landing for you.

Jeb: Landed!

Lazlo Exploration Mission 2

Spoiler

Wernher: While Jeb was out flying, our scientists back at the lab were researching new ways of designing rockets. We present to you, the Lazlo 2!

Gene: Woah.

Wernher: Brand new liquid fuel engine, durable antennas, control surfaces, and decouplers!

Gene: So what is the mission?

Wernher: We are going to attempt orbit.

Gene: Well let's get to it!

Gene: Liftoff!!

Gene: The rocket seems to be performing a turn.

Wernher: Yes, it's important to get the rocket into orbit.

Gene: And engine cutoff.

Wernher: Engine cutoff?

Gene: We seemed to overshoot our launch, we are going to have to coast to the apoapsis and reignite there to end in a full stable orbit.

Wernher: Ah.

Gene: We have pictures coming in!

Wernher: Mein Gott.

Gene: So that's what Gael looks like from space.

Wernher: The media is going to go crazy over this!

Gene: And mission complete! The antennas were also able to transmit the experiments this time!

Wernher: Indeed. This mission was a huge milestone for the program.

Gene: So what's next in terms of science?

Wernher: Let's go find Jeb.

KL-3 Seagull Volcanic Exploration

Spoiler

Gene: Jeb, we want you to take off and investigate what we believe is a volcano.

Jeb: What's that?

Wernher: Basically an exploding mountain.

Jeb: Awesome!

Jeb: The pointy looking mountain?

Gene: Yes.

Wernher: Perfect Jeb, this is some great science here!

Jeb: It's not exploding...

Wernher: Well you see Je--

Jeb: Why isn't it exploding?

Wernher: Jeb if you would let me expla--

Jeb: You lied to me.

Gene: Alright that's enough, Jeb return to the KSC.

Jeb: Okay Gene.

X-24 Eagle Experimental Flight 1

Spoiler

Gene: So if I'm reading this right, we are sending Jeb to space today?

Wernher: Indeed, he will be flying the brand new X-24 Eagle spaceplane.

Gene: Are you sure he's ready?

Wernher: No. But it's necessary.

Gene: Jeb do you read me?

Jeb: Copy.

Gene: Alright Jeb, we want you to activate the engine, throttle to 100%, and pull back on the yoke VERY slowly.

Jeb: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gene: Jeb!

Jeb: THIS IS REALLY FAST!!!

Gene: Wernher, how fast does this thing go?

Wernher: I have no idea.

Jeb: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Gene: Jeb can you hear me?

Jeb: THIS IS AWESOME!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Jeb: IT'S STARTING TO GET HOT IN HERE!!!! 

Gene: Wernher?

Wernher: Uh...

Gene: Engine cutoff.

Jeb: Aw...wait what's going on?

Gene: Jeb?

Jeb: I'm floating.

Gene: Jeb, repeat last?

Jeb: I am floating.

Gene: Wernher?

Wernher: Interesting...

Jeb: *gasps* I....I...

Gene: So...the craft lit on fire....Jeb is floating...

Wernher: Quite an interesting mission.

Jeb: I'm....I'm...IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!

Wernher: Can we invest in some duct tape next mission for reasons?

Jeb: SPAAAAAAACE!!!!!

Gene: Definitely.

Wernher: Jeb, we need a crew report.

Jeb: SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!!

Gene: Not sure if that's happening Wernher.

Jeb: Ow!

Gene: Everything alright Jeb?

Jeb: I just slammed into the side of the cockpit and it's getting hot in here.

Gene: Jeb get back to your seat!

Jeb: I'm back in my seat. Why is everything upside down?

Gene: Jeb you are upside down. Now attempt a soft landing in the water.

Jeb: But I can't swim Gene.

Gene: Just don't leave your cockpit.

Jeb: I'm going to drown Gene.

Gene: Just don't leave the cockpit.

Gene: Good landing Jeb!

Jeb: I'm going to die here.

Gene: So now what Wernher?

Wernher: Lots of questions opened that mission. 

Jeb: I want to give my Junkyard to Bob, my kPhone to Bill....

Wernher: We need to send a scientist up there to do studies.

Gene: What about Bob?

Wernher: He's not trained to be a Kerbonaut.

Jeb: ....my paper airplane to Kurt, my life savings of snacks to me...

Gene: Well let's train him! And Jeb...

Jeb: Yes Gene?

Gene: Shut your face.

 

[Nahim]

Thanks for the chapters! Loving it all! You Jeb is pretty DumbS, I hope Bob and Bill also impress... He He.

GPP is quite on the wave eh? I remember that even Scott Maley begin an career mode in this planet pack. Otherwise, i realy liked the style of your crafts, they were very pretty and practicâl too. Thank you again! ^^

[JadeOfMaar]

I want to post a facepalm meme pic so badly due to Jebediah's sheer Jebness. Anyway, this is an awesome post. Keep going!

Jeb: I have a remote controller for the microwave.

Gene: Jeb why are you still here?

Jeb: My kPhone's dead and I'm bored.

Gene: Great. Bob I repeat, do you copy?

Bob: Uh...I just had the craziest dream that I was flying a....AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Gene: I believe so.

Wernher: Sehr gut! And what about Bob?

Gene: He passed out again, but he survived the landing.

Wernher: We need that science!

Gene: Well let's get to it.

Gene: Liftoff!

Gene: All systems nominal.

Gene: The tank seems to be broken a bit.

Wernher: It should be fine. The boys back at the R&D have stress tested this probe to withstand a lot.

Gene: I'll take your word for it.

Gene: Well we lost contact so we weren't able to make orbit. But we did successfully flyby Iota!

Wernher: The science!
