[AAR] The Grand Tour - Voyage To The Planets

[czokletmuss]

Whoa.. shocking turn of events. (/understatement). I find it sort of disappointing you didn't cover the Eve landing itself, though. Why'd you skip it?

Err, he did... In Chapter 14.

Always check the first page of the thread, there are all the links and updated crew and mission status.

NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE REALESED IN 2-3 DAYS (PROBABLY)

I need a little break and I have to actually play a game to know what will happen

Czokletmuss, you are single-handedly the best writer on these forums in my opinion. The way you performed the mission logs in chapter 14 was superb.

[RogueMason]

Ugh, psychological assessments... I suppose they'll be needing them after this incident, though.

A good chapter to follow on from the tragedy that has befallen Proteus. Complete the mission and make Bob proud.

[Itsdavyjones]

I don't know what to say for this chapter...

[Jacob01]

This story has been great so far! There has been some shocking events in the past few chapters, I'm excited to find out what is going to happen in the next chapters!

Keep up the good work

I feel sad now. All he wanted to do was be the first to land on something, then when he did, he landed on the hell we know as Eve.

He just wanted a little fame. He didn't deserve THIS!

Well, he did get some kind of fame, at least. First Kerbal to die due to Eve's atmosphere.

[Mr. Pseudonym]

Lololol. Anyway,

[BostLabs]

umm no, he was jealous of Jeb's fame. He let his drive to out do Jeb cloud his judgement and he ignored good advice from everyone. He flat out discounted Jeb's advice as a sign of Jeb's fear that he was going to be replaced as the most famous Kerbal by Bob.

Bob's ego killed him as much as Eve did.

[Mr. Pseudonym]

I still believe Bob's tombstone should read:

Bob Kerman

19xx-2013

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor"

-The Tenth commandment of Kod

[Rhyunix]

Damn right

[Commander Zoom]

Cause of death:

Severe burns, sepsis, respiratory failure

hubris

suicide

[BigBoy734]

Bob actually DID deserve to die. He 'killed' himself. That stuntman is a freak show as on the world's dumbest.

Besides,If He did make it back alive,he would be in SOOOO much pain.

[Mr. Pseudonym]

Actually, he did really fry most of his pain receptors with third and fourth degree burns all across his body, so he wouldn't be in much pain at all. But alas, he did get himself killed.

[PwnedDuck]

Better to take enough sedatives to be knocked out down on the surface and die in your sleep than this slow and painful way. Though I suppose if he'd done that they wouldnt get the samples...

[Guest]

It was his decision, he knew the risks, he knew Eve was hell in spherical form, you will forever be remembered in my and many others save files. May you rest in peace Dear Friend... and safe voyages.

[LaydeeDem]

What the hell is wrong with you guys!? Sure Bob may have let his envy get out of hand, but you guys are basically saying he deserved it like he was a terrorist or something. Have a little respect for the dead.

[Tyber]

^The only reason it happened was because he was overtaken by jealousy and pride, abandoning reason. Of course we will mourn him but it does not mean that he had no part in his passing.

And dayum czoklet, I had no idea you're polish (totally haven't noticed it on the profile thumbnail)!

Niezwykle ciekawa opowieść, nie mogę się doczekać następnej części! Dobra robota!

Nope. I'm saying he caused his own death by being a pig head, glory seeking, out do Jeb by all and any means. I just wonder how long it will be before Jeb realizes that the only reason Bob selected him for the mission is so he could witness Bob's greatness and be there for Bob to rub it/grind it into his face.

Bob paid the ultimate price for his pride and ego. It didn't have to be that way, but it is the path he chose.

It is sad that he had to die, but it is nobodies fault but his own. He didn't live to see his glory or rub it in Jeb's face. He left a huge mess for Jeb and crew to clean up.

There is a lesson there guys.

Off soapbox... Excellent story czokletmuss!

[Mr. Pseudonym]

Guys, could we get to more pressing issues, like problems that could go wrong at Dres (I had to land there without landing legs once . I blame the intern!), such as engine problems?

[Tyber]

I suspect that **** will hit the fan no matter of the location since I expect conflict between Jeb & company and the 'indoctrinated' kerbanauts.

[czokletmuss]

Small update: I would like to release 3 chapters during this week (Sunday included) but considering work I have to do in RL right now I'm not promising anything; however, you should expect at least one new chapter in a next few days

[Patupi]
