Jeb is happy mission has pretty much been an total success from the astronauts view. Enter Eve orbit then picked up Bill who sneak onboard the probe carrier and has 150 days in an rover seat was happy to get into the hitchhiker module and change underwear, he brought 5 K science. 

Here is the probe carrier at day 9. Designed to be very narrow as designed before medium fairings was unlocked. Just pushed the lander out a bit to let the Gilly lander drop off early.  
First mistake, should have gone 1+6 medium tanks and two nuclear engines, then 6 rovers rather than 2 landers. we had the technology. 
Gilly lander worked well.

Look closely at the left lander and you can see Bill. 

It was an luck that Bill went on an intentional unmanned mission as he could transmit more science home earlier.

Here he is on the Gilly lander who has no landing legs, an docking port would be more fitting. 

He reported one problem outside of old underwear.

You can crash into space around Gilly, Bill has an theory that gravity is so weak it create the opposite of an event horizon. Jeb think Bill has smelled his dirty underwear for to long.
He also had problems finding the Oblique Impact Site, Jeb yes that huge crater is so hard to find. 

At the same time a probe landed on Eve

The rover seat is so an kerbal can collect atmospheric samples in low eve orbit. But the orbital module has no batteries just 5 charge from the small probe and I did not want to risk 6 K science getting 2.2 early. 
Landed at Eve

Environmental science let you transmit 1000, material science data is 1200, missed olympus, shallows and sea who is also land biomes all giving 2200. 6600 Science missed + the 600 atmospheric from Olympus. and the extra returned from Olympus. Not to talk about the discoverables. I say its plausible to uncover the big sperical tanks and fairings to cover them before reaching Duna. 

Collecting Bill

And 6 K science

An last note after picking up the science we docked with the now empty probe carrier to get some more hydrogen, getting the 11 k science home asap is obviously an priority. 
It had 5 K dV, grabbed half of it, wanted to use the probe carrier to aid in mapping Eve. As carrier was empty it should still have decent with dV but it showed as 0 dV for quite some time until it showed 3 k who make more sense.
