Can you please not use the text GIFs? They're cool and all, but they're so fast sometimes i can't read entire sentences. Please use normal text ;{

It's the slowest I can put it at, so I'll write with that in mind today!

The tug, after releasing the Andonuts Module, quickly manuvered towards the quickly shrinking solar panel module.

The crew of the OOLH anxiously watched as the tug carefully inched closer to the solar panel.

Not the best docking job but it'll work.

Due to a similar issue with manuvering with the Andonuts Module, the OOLH would do most of the docking manuvers.

With raucous cheering and laughter aboard the OOLH, the solar panel and main command module successfully re-docked with the new solar panel docking port.
With this module, the OOLH was only a few more launches to complete its first phase of construction.

Now all that was left to do was re-attach the tug and sort out the Council Issue.

Kinda neat view of the crew!

The Council would now re-rendezvous with the OOLH to pick up Nilou.
Thankfully, a workable solution was found.
The next Hyades rocket was already ready for launch so it could be used to rendezvous with the Council, after it lowered its orbit.

Now circularized in LKO, the Council waited for the arrival of the Hyades-ER.

screenshot300.png

Spoiler

The Hyades-ER is a variant of the Hyades Generation Two with the sole purpose of rescuing stranded crews in LKO.
With a maximum capacity of seven crew members, the Hyades-ER launches with only one pilot and a state-of-the-art flight computer.

Within a few minutes, the Hyades-ER was planning its rendezvous with the Council.

screenshot308.png

Spoiler

Within a couple hours, it had arrived, ready to begin loading crew.

ZsvP1Jf.gifscreenshot309.png

Spoiler

But again, the unthinkable happened.
A Hydrogen tank's valve was damaged in the ascent and it began leaking, dousing all the components in a highly flammable liquid. The absolutely fridgid temperatures cracked the rubber coating on some wires and froze a few of the emergency LOx purge values open.
When the Hyades performed a small burn to move closer to the Council before switching to Hydrazine, the entire service module exploded.

screenshot312.png

screenshot313.png

The crew of the Council quickly leaped into action.
They manuvered the spaceplane to the Hyades-ER Command Module and docked with it.

Spoiler

Thankfully, it seemed as if the pilot, cabin, the heatshield were fine.

As the Council's final act, it would use its Aerospikes to deorbit the craft complex.

Closing a particularly dangerous chapter in the assembly of the OOLH, the Crew of the Hyades-ER touched down safely in the ocean.

@AtomicTech, I strongly suggest you drop the moving GIF text boxes.  The motion and colours are distracting and draw attention away from your great screenshots of the missions.  Go with static text, even at a larger typeface if you want.

As well, I suggest using only one spoiler to contain all the screenshots.  Having to interact beyond scrolling and pop open even more spoilers is a bit tedious and distracting.

That's what I was originally doing but I wanted to add in a few more images that weren't up to my high standard but cool nonetheless. For the non-text transcriptions, I just put it in a spoiler below the moving box.

I really like the moving boxes but I recognize that not everyone likes it.

How about a compromise?

I'll make the same post:

After the Council Disaster, it was decided that the S.O.L.V. line of spacecraft would see a much more limited deployment instead of being the main form of crewed transportation.
The planned fleet of 5 S.O.L.V.'s and 3 N.E.S.S.'s would be reduced to 3 S.O.L.V.'s and 2 N.E.S.S. and the remained filled with launches of more tradtional rockets.

The Falcon, after passing a rigorous series of tests, was loaded with the new Lukas Survey and Crystallization Laboratory.

One of these days we'll get that kOS error fixed.

screenshot333.png

After a short burn, the Falcon had a 0.2 kM intercept with the OOLH with a relative speed of 65.3 m/s.

screenshot339.png

screenshot340.png

screenshot341.png

screenshot342.png

It may be dark, but the instrumentation and communications assure us that the OOLH is there.

screenshot343.png

screenshot344.png

screenshot345.png

screenshot346.png

As the Falcon loomed closer, the OOLH maintained its attitude to make it easier to dock with the incoming vehicle.

screenshot348.png

Before the Lukas Lab could be moved to its final location, the Hyades CSV would have to relocate itself to the other primary crew docking port. 

screenshot349.png

Maxim "Max" Alenin would pilot the Hyades CSV to the new port.

screenshot352.png

screenshot353.png

screenshot354.png

screenshot355.png

With room to move, the Lukas Lab would be remotely manuvered to the new Clamp-O-Tron Sr. Docking Port.

screenshot356.png

screenshot357.png

screenshot358.png

With their mission completed, the Falcon remained docked to the OOLH for a few days before departing for home.

Only one more module remained for the OOLH and the CEO of AtomicTech Inc. rallied his employees with what will be come to be known as the Flex Speech.
"We choose to land on the runway from orbit. We choose to safely land on the runway manually and do the other things not because it is easy, but because it is hard and is the most epic flex against those who use autopilots."

A few hours later, a new LV would be making its first flight. The Astrophage, derived from Gamma and Hyades technologies, offers to be the new heavy cargo craft replacement for the S.O.L.V. while maintaining low flight costs.

You should include something like: IQ test 3.14 :D

Also your stories are amazing! Can't wait for next chapters!

Also how did you do for "Saving Kerbals"? Is that a mod?

Also, also also also? Also also, also also also, also. (that's Kerbal)
