The Kerbin Stories

[Henry01]

I again forgot to take pics during the transfer burn and such. I guess I just was really tense and forgot about it. Sorry! FYI, they are in Sentar Orbit, and have refueled. Nothing too eventful.

[Henry01]

Chapter 10: Erin Transfer

Bob: So this is it. We're here, after all this time.

Jeb: Yep. Remember those first steps on the moon Neil took? All those years ago? Well look at us now. The Kerbal race, out at Sentar!

*Bob smiles.*

Jeb: Anyway, Bob, lets get a plane change going. We need to get in a good position for an Erin transfer.

Beb: On it.

*Bob floats over to some control panels.*

Jeb: Kenemone, go make sure the scientists are all right.

Kenemone: Aye captain.

*Jeb grins and floats over to Bob.*

Bob: I've got a good transfer set up at the ascending node. We'll start the burn in an hour and a half.

Jeb: Good.

After the plane change...

Jeb: Whew. Good job, we're on a good course. Can you set up a good transfer now?

Bob: Depends on what you mean by "good". I can get us in the SoI, but when we get there we'll have to do a bit of fine-tuning to aerobrake.

Jeb: That's ok, how much Delta-V will it take?

Bob: No more than a hundred.

Jeb: Good, good. We have lots of fuel.

*Bob nods and sets up the next maneuver.*

Another hour and a half later...

Bob: Hey, guys. Come look out the window before we start our transfer.

Philgan: Woah, that's a lot of rocks.

Gilberry: Only you would say that, Philgan.

Jeb: Heh. Alright, everyone back to your seats, we're about to begin the transfer burn.

*Everyone floats over to their seats.*

Jeb: Woo!

Bob: I still don't get how you like this!

Jeb: I don't get how you don't!

3 days later, just above Erin's atmosphere...

Jeb: Here we go. Into the atmosphere.

Bob: Into the fire.

*Jeb switches on the intercom.*

Jeb: Everyone strap in, here we go.

*Kenemone emerges from his room sleepily and straps into his chair.*

Kenemone: *Yawn* Here we go...

*Jeb switches off the intercom.8

Jeb: We're in the atmosphere. At this rate we should NOT get any reentry flames.

Kenemone: Don't hold your breath though.

Jeb: I'm pretty sure we won't.

3 minutes later...

Jeb: We've left the atmosphere. Bob, where do we stand?

Bob: Our apoapsis is at 240 kilometers. I'll set up a circularization burn.

Jeb: Good, good. I want everyone to stretch their legs when we get down there.

[Henry01]

Woah, a thousand views!

[Henry01]

Chapter 11: Landing

Jeb: Alright, now that we've done a full orbit with no problems, lets head down to the surface. Everyone's coming for this trip.

Bob: Right.

Kenemone: I'll go round up the scientists.

*Kenemone floats up to the scientist module to see the scientists packing equipment.*

Kenemone: Good, you're getting ready.

Shepley: Yea, I can't wait to check out the lowest parts of the atmosphere Kassini couldn't record.

Philgan: Maybe something's alive!

Kenemone: Yep, you're ready. Come on, Gilberry. Let's get the lander ready.

*Gilberry nods and they float into the lander, the rest of the crew arriving not more than a minute later.*

Gilberry: Everyone ready?

Jeb: It appears so.

Kenemone: Great. Undocking.

Kenemone: We're off. Engaging RCS to push us away.

*The ship turns and the RCS lightly pushes it away.*

Kenemone: Engaging main thrusters.

*The radial thrusters roar to life.*

Kenemone: We're on a sub-orbital trajectory and will land in 15 minutes. I suggest everyone stays seated.

15 minutes later...

Jeb: Here we go!

Bob: Aah!

Jeb: Oh come on, it's just like aerobraking!

Bob: I hated aerobraking too!

Kenemone: Reentry fire!

*The scientists begin to have a similar reaction to Bill's, except Dr. Shepley.*

Shepley: Woo!

Jeb: Shepley gets it!

*Bob begins to gag as if he is going to throw up.*

Jeb: Bob?

Kenemone: He's getting nauseous.

*Jeb hands him a bag made just for the purpose.*

Jeb: If you really are going to hurl, do it in this.

*Bob does just that.*

Jeb: Yuck.

Kenemone: Ew.

Bob: Th- ground- close...

*Kenemone looks out the window, seeing the chutes haven't deployed yet.*

Kenemone: What the hell, Gilberry?

*Gilberry is slumped over.*

Kenemone: Great. He's passed out from the G's. Jeb, can you deploy the chutes?

*Jeb has a flashback of reentry over Kerbin.*

Flashback Bill: That's 2 chutes... deployed!

Flashback Jeb: Great, now get back in!

Flashback Bill: Righ- AHH!

*Bill is ripped off the ladder and off the ship, plummeting to his death.*

Jeb: BILL!

Kenemone: The hell?

Bob: He's having a flashback, it's PTSD!

Kenemone: Who's going to deploy the chutes?

*Bob reaches over and tries to deploy them, just out of reach.*

Kenemone: Frak!

*Kenemone pushes Bob closer, letting him finally hit the button, deploying the chutes.*

Kenemone: Phew!

Bob: My Kod that was close!

*Kenemone looks around.*

Kenemone: We appear to be the last 2 not in a PTSD flashback or knocked out by G's. Good job.

Bob: Likewise.

*The chutes fully deploy.*

*Kenemone presses a button to deploy the landing gear.*

Kenemone: Stuck. Whatever, we're landing in sand, and we could withstand rocks with the bottom anyway.

Bob: Right.

*The lander makes touchdown.*

Bob: Here we go.

[Henry01]

Chapter 12: A Shocking Pair Of Discoveries

15 minutes after landing.

Kenemone: Jeb, you're sure you want to go outside? You just had PTSD flashbacks.

Jeb: That was just from reentry, and Gilberry passed out reminded me of Bob, it won't happen again, I promise. I'll be fine.

*Kenemone hesitates, then nods.*

Kenemone: Go give some awesome first words.

*Jeb grins and nods, exiting the capsule with his suit on.*

Jeb: Today, the Kerbal race went further than it ever has before. Tommorow, we venture further. We're going to make great discoveries and push ourselves further. Per audacia ad astra. Through boldness, to the stars!

Kenemone: Beautiful. Plant that flag and the rest of us 'll come out.

Jeb: Got it.

*Jeb walks a few steps and takes the flag from his back, planting it.*

Kenemone: Nice. Come on, everyone.

*The crew begins to exit the capsule, Gilberry and Kenemone investigating the stuck landing legs, the other 3 scientists going around investigating things, and as Bob exits, Jeb approaches him.*

Jeb: Nice change of scenery, right?

Bob: Yep.

*Jeb trips and falls in the sand on his face, putting a crack in his helmet.*

Bob: Jeb!

Jeb: Oh Kod, a hole! In my helmet- wait, why can I still breathe?

Bob: Oh my Kod...

*Jeb completely removes his helmet.*

*The others rush over.*

Kenemone: Jeb, have you gone mad?

Jeb: No. I can breathe fine. Air's a bit thin but, I can still breathe.

Kenemone: Oh my..

Shepley: Fascinating! The atmosphere is breathable!

*Everyone begins taking off their helmets and inhaling.*

Kenemone: How did Kassini not detect this?

Shepley: Maybe it's instruments were bugged. Also, it did only record things during aerobraking.

Kenemone: That's a possibility.

Bob: Quite a good one. But for now, lets just enjoy the fact that we can breathe here!

Gilberry: Woo!

Derfrod: Marvelous!

Philgan: Derfrod, this gives me some hope to find life. And cause you and me are the best qualified to look for that, lets go!

*Derfrod nods and the 2 of them run to the sea.*

Bob: Well this is... nice. To say the least!

Jeb: Yea.

Meanwhile, over by Derfrod and Shepley...

Shepley: There's got to be something here!

Derfrod: Maybe we should have brought the microscope?

Philgan: Good point. But first, lets see if there is any multicellular life.

Derfrod: Alright.

*Derfrod kneels down next to the shore.*

Philgan: See anything?

*Philgan kneels next to him.*

Derfrod: No, maybe we sho- there!

Philgan: What?

Derfrod: I saw something move!

*Philgan and Derfrod wade out into the shallow water.*

Philgan: Keep your eyes peeled!

Derfrod: Don't need to remind me! There!

*Philgan quickly grabs a silver tadpole-like creature.*

Philgan: Gotcha!

Derfrod: Oh my Kod! It's living!

Philgan: We found extraterrestrial life!

Derfrod: If there is animals, there has to be plants, too, right?

*Philgan puts the creature back into the water and puts his helmet on.*

Philgan: I didn't see any land-based ones, so maybe they're underwater? Only one way to find out.

Derfrod: You look, I'll go tell the others!

Philgan: Right.

*Philgan starts swimming deeper.*

Derfrod: HEY! EVERYONE! WE FOUND TADPOLE THINGS!

Jeb: What?

Derfrod: COME LOOK!

*Everyone rushes over.*

Jeb: Where's Philgan and these creatures?

Derfrod: Philgan's looking for underwater plants, and if you'll come wade in with me, I'll show you one of the creatures.

*They all wade in, then seeing Philgan emerge with a bit of green seaweed.*

Philgan: Plants... check.

*Derfrod scoops up a creature.*

*Everyone crowds around the 2, in awe of the 2 simple organisms.*

Jeb: Wow..

Bob: Oh my kod...

Kenemone: Fascinating...

Gilberry: Fantastic!

Shepley: Woah.

*Derfrod puts the creature down.*

Jeb: Well, we all know what this means. Tommorow, we're heading back to the Endeavour, and the first thing we're doing is telling Burbart and Mission Control.

Awesome story! I really love it, keep up the good work please!

[Henry01]

Chapter 13: Going Up!

Jeb: Philgan, do you have the samples you need from the animals yet?

Philgan: Yep. A plant, a bunch of those tadpole things, and 2 fish that appear to be apex predators. All in this ecosystem-mimicking case. They should be fine if we strap it down on ascent.

Jeb: Good, now come in the lander, everyone's waiting. Also, we need names for those species. So you and Derfrod better come up with some good ones.

Philgan: You- you mean you're letting us decide? Not you, the mission commander?

Jeb: You heard what I said, right?

Philgan: Oh thank you Captain!

Jeb: No problem. Now come on.

*Philgan eagerly climbs in and tells Derfrod the news as he straps down the case.*

Kenemone: Everyone ready?

Jeb: Yep, it appears so.

Bob: You don't speak for everyone, Jeb.

Jeb: I said "it appears so."

Bob: I was joking, Jeb.

Kenemone: Anyway, lets get going, Gilberry, you do wanna do the honors?

Gilberry: Gladly.

*Gilberry flips a switch and the engines ignite, sending the ship up.*

Shepley: Woohoo! Beatcha to it, Jeb!

Jeb: Psh.

Kenemone: Beginning gravity turn.

Jeb: Woo! Ha, Shep!

Shepley: Whatever.

Some boring maneuvers later...

Kenemone: We're coming up on Endeavour's docking port now.

Jeb: Good, good.

Gilberry: I'll thrust us foreward into place.

Kenemone: Naw, you did ascent. I'll finish up rendezvous and docking.

*Gilberry grumbles something.*

Kenemone: Hmm?

Gilberry: Nothing.

*The lander shakes for a moment and finally docks.*

Jeb: Well, lets go tell Burbart.

Nice chapter, wonder what the scientists will call thoose species..

[Henry01]

Won't be able to post a chapter over my Thanksgiving Break, going several states away, and have no laptop.

[Henry01]

Chapter 14: Something Unfortunate

Philgan: Transmission to Mission Control is in 2 minutes, when the planet stops blocking us.

Derfrod: Sweet.

*They grab the "fish tank" off a microcentrifuge made just for that purpose.*

Derfrod: Got any names?

Philgan: No, we need to study them more. For now, I'm calling the big ones killy fish, the smaller one tadpole things and the plants kelp.

Derfrod: Real original.

Philgan: Thanks.

*They make their way to the main cabin, where the rest of the crew is waiting behind a screen.*

Jeb: There you are!

Shepley: H-hey guys!

Kenemone: Shepley, you cold?

Shepley: N-no, I guess I h-haven't spoken much. I s-stutter in space, I'm j-just a bit... off...

Kenemone: Ok then. Transmission starting.

*The screen comes to life and an image of Burbart and the major Mission Control people appears.*

Burbart: You said you had a surprise for us, what is it?

Jeb: Burbart, don't act all bored and exhausted over this, we found something you may want to see.

*Philgan and Derfrod bring the fish tank up to the camera.*

Burbart: Life?

Jeb: Yea!

Burbart: Oh Kod, I really didn't hope this would happen.*

Philgan: What? This is the biggest discovery we've made on this journey and you-

Burbart: This won't be easy, but I have good and bad news. Mitbree, tell em'.

Mitbree: Jeb, the good news is the war is over. The nations of Kerbin are at peace... the bad news is that we unified to fight a greater threat.

Jeb: Oh Kod, what's worse than the war?

Mitbree: Jeb, alien ships have used some sort of Albicurre drive to use bring several motherships into Kerbin orbit. The Kerbaltia Orbital Fleet was annihilated, and the International Fleet was formed, hastily constructing 2 ships with stolen technology we got when the Kerbaltian fleet disabled an enemy drone. The ships are carriers, and we have our own drones. We've been beating them back, but not before Kineea was obliterated from orbit, meaning nearly a billion kerbals are already dead.

*The crew wait in silence, thinking this is just a sick joke, and after a few minutes of silence, Bob speaks up.*

Bob: Haha, good joke.

*The mission control personnel remain silent and stone-faced.

Mitbree: This is no joke, knowing we're the best at orbital physics, the International Fleet made us command the ships. We already lost one in combat with the majority of the invasion force. The only surviving one, Six's Company, fought them off, and the remains of their fleet has retreated to a higher orbit while our remaining ship gets repairs.

Jeb: Oh, oh Kod. No!

Philgan: This is-

Derfrod: Impossible!

Shepley: H-how?

Bob: Good Kod!

Kenemone: All of Kineea? A BILLION KERBALS?

*Gilberry begins to sob.*

Mitbree: Now that this is over, we're going to force you to go home. But only after one thing we need you to check, on Pock.

Chapter 15: Queen of the Stars

Aboard the newly commissioned Queen of the Stars...

Burbart: Well Queen , welcome to the team.

Commander Lorod: Our pleasure. Any missions for us? We've been itching to test our new drones out.

Burbart: We're itching to see them in action, too, but we don't have anything currently in orbit. However, they could warp anywhere, anytime. We still can't detected their warp trajectories.

Lorod: Right. Speaking of the drones, Shelfry, how is are the drone pilots doing.

Lieutenant Shelfry: Just as eager as us, I haven't been able to pull them from their consoles, except when I told them there was macaroni in the mess hall.

Lorod: We have macaroni?

Shelfry: Yea. It's no gormet, but it's Mac and Cheese. Rather fun to eat in 0-G.

Lorod: I think I'll go grab some.

*Lorod descends down a ladder to the crew compartment.*

Shelfry: So Burbart, anything new with our drones compared to the old carriers'?

Burbart: Not much, we just made it so that they can mislead the enemy targeting systems to hit the extra monopropellant in the back instead of the core systems.

Shelfry: Why not entirely miss?

Burbart: I don't think that's possible.

*Suddenly, a shimmer of light brightens a few hundred meters from the Queen of the Stars, and an alien vessel appears.*

Shelfry: Frak!

Burbart: What is it?

Shelfry: Enemy drone ship!

*Shelfry turns on the intercom.*

Shelfry: All hands, prepare for combat!

*Lorod quickly comes up with a half-eaten bowl of macaroni and cheese.*

Lorod: Here we go!

Shelfry: Drone 1, deploy!

*A drone undocks from the side of the ship.*

Lorod: We got an enemy drone inbound! Engage!

Lorod: And, that's it! Hostile down!

Shelfry: Don't be too sure, we still got another one incoming!

*A hostile quickly comes from behind the alien ship and fires at Drone 1.*

Lorod: Oh frak!

Shelfry: I need a report on Drone 1!

Drone 1 Pilot: I still have control, sir. The new system worked!

*Cheers are heard in the ship.*

Drone 1 Pilot: They got my RTG though, so we're losing power fast, I can still take out this guy though!

*Drone 1 fires it's lasers on the hostile, destroying it.*

Drone 1 Pilot: Woo! But that's it, I've lost all power.

Shelfry: Don't worry, command 'll send a new one up for you.

Lorod: Yep. Deploy drone 2!

*A second drone undocks and thrusts forward to the alien ship itself.*

Drone 2 Pilot: I'm going straight for the mothership!

Lorod: Be careful!

Drone 2 Pilot: I will. These drones appear to be run from the mothership's computers while they are docked. If we destroy it before the remaining 2 enemies can deploy, we've won.

Lorod: Alright, go for it. We had to dispose of your drone until a new Drone 1 came anyway to prevent mass distribution being off, so we'll just get a new 2 and 1.

Drone 2 Pilot: Got it. I'm going in for the kill.

*Drone 2 fires it's beams quickly, just as the last drones are about to deploy.*

Drone 2 Pilot: Woo! GET SOME!

Lorod: Look like you hit in the side, those drones flew off. We won!

*The crew erupts in cheers.*

Shelfry: Bubart, we've completed our first task. Any new sorties?

Burbart: Nice work out there. We're moving you to a... new... position. Dres, where we'll be setting up an interplanetary command base. We're trying to draw their attention away from Kerbin. Away from the civilians.

Lorod: Roger that, Burbart. Shepley, prepare us a burn at the next transfer window.

[panfish5]

I'm lovin this story

[Henry01]

Glad you like it!

[Henry01]

Probably won't update this story for a while- I've wiped all mods to start a new save in career mode with a mod set similar to Scott Manley's "KSP Interstellar".

[Henry01]

I don't really like how I made the plot for this- I think I'll start a new story with a more original premise.

[User_625163]

Helo people, this is a story that happened to me... And I thought maybe I could share it

 

Chapter I

This is Valentina, she is an innocent who dedicated her life to serve humanity and science. She is ready day and night to help people and put all her efforts to serve them.
One day her manager sent her along with her 2 work mates an email; 
"Dear Valentine,
As you know, we have been building a rocket to start the mission to planet Eve, it's nearly done and time came to choose the crew. Nevertheless, as this mission is quite important to us, me including the Project Management team decided to hire up the best crew we have here in KSP.

İt's up to you if it's a "Congratulations!" Or "Unfortunately!", But we have chosen you to be part of the crew. A meeting about the  preparatory program will be held in the head quarters in 2 days, more information will be sent upon signing the contract.

Please find the contract kindly attached.

Sincerely,
CEO Gene Kerman"

She was overwhelmingly happy, she called Jeb and with excitement she told him, yet more excitement fell on her when she discovered Jeb is also within the crew. Finally she gets to serve the humanity at its maximum levels, she and without hesitating signed the contract. An ignorant decision, yet innocent.

Chapter II

Bob was a smart guy, he was raised between puzzles and building blocks, his father always insisted on learning math and physics, and Bob although he doesn't favour his father that much, always remembered when he once said "no math , no logic". He throughout his life has always worked to be good at mathematics and physics, and he also like his father believed that mathematics is the origin of logic. He didn't have much of a social life in his childhood, but that wasn't a problem for him when he got old, he simply used logic to deal with people, he understood people and worked upon it. But he has always missed one trait, it's courage. His overwhelming logic always pointed out dangers around him, before taking any decision his logic pointed out the risk , and he never willed for this risk, logic was his best companion. The only time he took a risk was when he met Jebediah and Valentine, he knew their courage will get him in trouble but he was okay with that.

Jebediah, his great courage and stupidity will sure make from him a great person who bumps in every door before opening it. This same courage gave him the guts and talk to Valentina. Gus Kerman, the operation leader, put Valentina in the same team as Jebediah and asked him to be the supervisor supervising Valentina with her first months of training. After Valentina finished her first rough day, she went and sat on the balcony, the weather was amazing and the view too, the taste of the coffee that she forgot reminded her with her mother ‘’Your hair tie is not well tied, if I may?” said Jedebiah reaching her from behind, “I’m sorry, did we meet before?” said Valentina, “I’m your supervisor Jebediah, nice to meet you… Valentina, am I right?” with a smile replied Valentina “ I’m not that type of people who get supervised often, but maybe you may start with fixing my tie!” “I will, actually that’s why Gus assigned me to you, he said you got a nice hair , he added yet she doesn’t care about it that much… ” and so they spent the night laughing and gazing at the sky.

Although Jebediah, Valentina, and Bob knew each other for a few years, Jebediah and Valentina were never that close to Bob. Bob unlike Jeb and Vala always preferred to sit by himself, but during the 2 months preparatory   program he was forced to stay with them tens of nights. He didn’t regret it, neither did they. They spent one of their best nights together, Bob realized that there are some people who deserve his love. Jebediah was so energetic he always tried to make them happy, take care of them, and make sure they are not hurt, he finally found something to live for. Vala ,on the other hand, was full of love, she needed to help everyone, Jebediah and Bob became her new family, she loved them, cared about them , and always made sure she doesn’t turn them down.

Chapter III

“You pussy! Are you ready?”, “love you Jeb! I’m not sca..” “can you both shut up now!! put your seat-belts, we are launching in 4 minutes 38 seconds” said Vala “Connection okay! Power engine okay! Oxygen percentage stable! All systems working! to mission control, all systems okay, we are ready to launch” “Launching in 3:07 minutes, Jeb prepare the engine, the burnout will be 1 minute due” “Ready Sir!” “Sorry Sir! But can you tell Bob not to pee himself sir!” , “Jeb, you know we didn’t launch yet, there are always crews here that are sure ready to take your place… Bop, keep an eye at the maneuvering, you don’t wanna end up in the middle of the ocean after all.”… “7,6,5,4,3,2,1…Start the burnout” (VHOOOOOOOOOO) , Mission Control “Well Done! In 55 seconds we will start launching, manage your burnout accordingly Jeb, get ready to release the holders Bob” , “9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…. Release the holders” “Released Sir!” , “All our hopes are in you mates, no matter what you bring your asses here alive! Good Journey!”They spent 306 days on their way to Eve, and still 2 days left till they reach the orbit. They spent 306 days and nights together, they ate, slept, and laughed together “Vala, do you remember when we were sky gazing and Bob pointed out Eve?” “We are already here” said Vala sopping with a smile “Here we are friends, again sitting together and gazing at the sky, I wonder if someone is gazing at us too!”

In 2 days they will be already one of Eve moons, moons are bright but they Eclipse once a year!

Chapter IV

“Jebbbbb!!!, Valaaaa! Hurry upppp” “Jebbbbb wake the love up!” , she ran into the hatch “whats wrong!?” screamed Vala, “The propeller is overheating and the cooling system is not workinggg!” screamed Bob while fear was covering his face as Jeb arrived, “I’ll check other systems and try to contact the base, Bop try to slow down the rocket as soon as we get near the orbit, and calm the lovekk down!!! Vala, go back and check what’s wrong with the cooling system, Hurry up you two”, “Valaa” called Bop “Valaaa…” “Yeah Bo…” she looked at him, she never saw Bop that comfortable before, he was calm in a weird way with a smile that… it was just a weird smile to describe. “Don’t worry Vala, take your time and don’t get confused or stressed out” “Just realized I’m not coming home”, smiled Vala “Even if it costs my life I’m taking you home”.

Base, Mission Control “Valaa, can you hear me?” , “Where the love where you Gus!?” “Jeb, where is Vala? What is happening? Inform me with all the details!” “We are facing problems with the cooling system in Hatch-4, Vala went to figure out the problem, me and Bob are here checking for other systems” Jeb took out the Walkie-Talkie “Vala, what’s the problem? can you see anything?” (BEEEEP-BEEEEP-BEEEEP) the bells were beeping from all around her, her hands are shaking “the compressor overheated, the whole cooling system stopped, I’m trying to fix the problem. I’ll keep you up-to-date”, “How much is the temperature at right now?” asked Gus from the control mission “2773 C, Flux at 528 Watts per Meter” answered Bob but no answer came from Gus “Sir, Sir!! We are waiting for commands…” “Gus!!! Your commands right now!” followed Jeb….. “Release Hatch-4 within maximum a minute…” , “Sir! Vala is in Hatch-4, it will take her 2-3 Minutes to go out..” answered Jeb “I’ve said Release Hatch-4”, Jeb followed “Gus, the voice might not be clear” he followed clearly and loudly “Vala is in Hatch-4, I repeat, Vala is in Hatch-4” , Bob was staring from the window at planet Eve, and Jeb figured out from Bob’s face that there was something going on…. “Bob, it’s Gus from the mission control talking to you, if you can hear me release Hatch-4 as soon as possible”, “Wha.. what is going on?” was shocked Jeb “Bob what the love are you doing!!” “don’t listen to them.…” “Don’t you dare do it..”  Jeb screamed through the walkie-talkie “Valaaaaa Get out from there nowww!!”, Jeb held Bob, he begged him not to do it, he screamed he tried everything… although Vala and Jeb taught him the meaning of friendship, Logic is Bob’s closest companion.

Bop looked at Jeb in the eyes, he smiled with teardrops covering his cheek and said “I’m sorry Jeb, I love her as much as you do” he pushed Jeb , he wiped his tears and with ashamed way “Sir! I started the procedures for releasing Hatch-4”, Jeb ran from one hatch to another “…I’m your supervisor...” he heard the sound of gates closing down , time passes fast yet slow enough, he realized it’s too late, he just wished he can tie her hair one more time.

“Bob I nearly fixed it, buy me sometime…we are going home poodlees!!” as Bob is clearly listening with silent tears, trying not to sob so Vala wont hear, “Valaa” he said “Vala I am sor….”  *CLICKKKKK* “Bob, Jeb… what happened?” the temperature is no longer increasing, and the propeller sound is getting further and further “Bob answer me! Did you slow down the speed? I’m nearly finished , buy me sometime guys!!! “ “Bob answer for god’s sake!!” “Jeb can you hear me?” she picked the Walkie-Talkie *No Signal” she tried again “Connection Failed” and again she tried “Connection Failed” and again and again… She cried, she was happier than ever, she finally got to serve humanity at it’s maximum. She finally got Bob and Jeb home even if it did cost her her life. She put her space suite, opened the gate and flew away. The view is amazing, the weather is not bad here in the suite, the sun we see on earth is a big lie! Here it is wonderful, it shines for ever too! She is being followed by the moon shadow too, nevertheless, here it’s always a full moon. It’s also a total eclipse!
