Left to Die: Stranded in Space (CHP 4 DONE, CHP 5 WIP)

[BostLabs]

one of the things I do on my stories is to do my first draft of the chapter in a window note pad. Then I open a reply on the thread and dump the contents of my note pad into the post. I then go advanced in the post. This allows me to see formatting changes and previews my pictures and catch any spelling mistakes (of which there are plenty).

From there i can hit preview post as many times as I want and make further corrections without really posting the reply.

once I'm satisfied I hit submit reply. That way the post shows up, as finished, all at once.

I thought you might find this useful.

"At 1695 today, I recieved this radio message from source on Kerbin. I taped it for you all...should I replay it?"

"Yes, certainly."

Reaching toward the controls of the Base Transmitter, Adam Kerman replayed the feed, and looked toward Bill. Bill listened, and nodded.

"Someones alive down there."

"What can we do about? Go back? Get real, kid. Noone can help them but Kod, 'cept he probably wont."

This has a lot of potential and so far im loving the story line and the drama. Keep up the good work!

I loved it! But...what happened to Bob Kerman?

Also, why can't they restart life on Laythe? Sure, it's not similar to Kerbin, especially due to the fact that it orbits a Gas Giant for God's sake, but it's got an oxygen atmosphere, and it'd probably trap the radiation(if there's any) from Jool in it's outer atmosphere, keeping the inner atmospheres safer. Of course, there's the temperature and cryovolcanism issue, among other factors, but they'll have infinite oxygen supplies, unlike Duna and Eve.

Speaking about Eve, are there any Kerbals in Eve right now? Or Moho...? Or any other planet for that matter?

I create the story, I cloned a save, and said "No more KSC from now on, or supply missions!" to my Kerbalnauts. Then I record the their reaction.

In my career, there's nothing but a probe on Eve, and Moho has been forgotten about and passed over after it was determined massive amounts of fuels would need to be spent going to Moho. And while there are two vessels near Laythe, none have been equipped with enough landers to transport the crew, and there is virtually no infrastructure to support them (which deeply contrasts to Duna Base One).

As for now, I'm going to pause the story a little, then return to it and finish it extremely fast with spamming quality updates.

The end scene is a good one...I've written it all.

Cannot post due to obvious spoiler alert.

By the way, Bob's going to have problems with crew loyalty..in the next few paragraphs.
