Desperation Restart

[Souper]

I think this needs a restart.

Here we go.

In the year 2154, Jeb, Bill and Bob were killed by the hands of the Gyro Kraken. To make matters worse, resources on Kerbin, as well as all the other planets orbiting Kerbol were running scarce. Wernher Von Kerman, stricken by rage and frustration, could only sit back and watch and the KSP went bankrupt.

10 years later, in 2164, he had created a plan to reestablish the KSP.

He got on his hovercar and went to New Kerb City, to recruit Gene, Dinklestein and Eumon Kerman to reform the KSP.

Gene would serve as the only mission controller, and Wernher, Dinklestein, and Eumon would be the brave spacegoers.

Their plan was to re-invent the Alcubierre drive and travel to Kroxima Kentari and back to Kerbol.

But the question is, how would they get the money? How would they get the others? That, my friend, is a story for another day.

looks very cool:cool: i will be following this....

but one thing... how are you supposed to get the images if you are planning on adding them at all? ( you cant make a hover car in ksp or get rid of the kerbal space center maybe mod like the crazyist thing ever?)

i tried to make something like this once.... getting the pics was a total nightmare...and without them the quality drop is so massive that you cant survive without metric tons of humor.

i don't think this needs a restart.

i know a few mods that are good for this kind of stuff!

these should both perfectly blend in with the time of the story and make it easier to get stuff into orbit!

orion mod

ksp interstellar ( sounds like one you will be needing!)

this WILL need editing though... for the pics you would need to edit the werner von kerman to make him look super old and then insert a name and size it right to seamlessly blend in with the other kerbs

i am in no way i pro at making these things.... but i do know something from 7.5 chapters of writing! ( one of witch is dreadland history;.; i might be posting a metric TON of things...) ( i pull pics from my old canceled writings and have kerbs humerusly talk about what went wrong.... since i have to play ksp for exactly ZERO hours ZERO minutes to get these old pics i can post trillions of chapters per second ( this is almost not an exaggeration!))

i hope this goes well!

[Souper]

Actually, i don't think kerbals age. Oh well, i'll do this anyway/

Actually, i can't use mods. They make my KSP crash like crazy. So i'll just get crafty!

Part 2

Wernher had a plan. An idea.

He thought the only way get them was to hold a convention consisting of only them.

He put up the sign, and the stage, and waited.

After awhile, he was so frustrated by them not showing up, he looked like this.

"Why won't they show up?" he said out loud.

Then he realized.

"I need to track them down!"

Little did he know, they were on there way, on account of the Kerbbook invitation.

The arrived.

"What's this conve-" said Eumon, right before the trio get grabbed by Wernher.

"I'm so glad you all showed up!" exclaimed Wernher.

"I need you three to restart the Kerbal Space Program" said Wernher.

"Whaaaaaaa..." said the three in unison.

"That's right. Were' goin' to Kroxima Kentauri! Me, Dinklestein and Eumon!"

"WHAAAAAaaa....!!!" exclaimed the trio, once again.

It took an hour of talking, but Wernher finally convinced the three to participate.

"But even if this works, how would we get the money for this?" said Gene.

"I.....uhh....." said Wernher.

TO BE CONTINUED...

sorry folks. That's all i can fit into my tiny, tiny schedule. Toodle-doo!

[VelocityPolaris]

The solution to get enough money: Make everything out of junkyard parts to minimize costs. Earn money by convincing the government that the mission is to get protection from the Kraken by asking the United Federation of Planets for help. And find old knicknacks in the attic to sell at pawn shops. And maybe street cleaning.

[Souper]

Implementing into story, please hold...

[Souper]

Wernher suddenly got an idea.

"What if we all pitched in to buy Jeb's old junkyard?"

"Hey, great idea!" says Gene.

For the next 2 weeks, they haggled the government to buy Jeb's junkyard for 1,000$. They eventually won by exploiting a massive loophole:

The 'I just wanna buy land off of you but the buildings inside the land would also be mine but i only have to pay the price for the land' trick, works every time.

And with that, they went into production.

In the following 5 months, they made 11,500$ - 10% of what they needed just to obtain the KSC.

They worked hard. Many sleepless nights went by, they had made 75% of what they needed for the KSC in just 12 months - a full year.

They took 1 whole month off to rest, before coming back to work - this time, they went into 'Maximum Overdrive!" in order to get it done.

1 Month passed, they ended up coming up with the 1,000,000$ they needed to exploit the loophole again, thus earning them the KSC.

They sold everything but the VAB, the Mission Control Center, and the Tracking Station, thus earning every thing they needed.....exept for a functional Alcubierre drive.

How will they aquire the alcubierre drive? That, my friend, is a story for another day.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Meanwhile, in the KSC meeting room...

Wernher sat on his computer, looking up the average prive of an Alcubierre drive - it costs over 1,000,000,000 (1 BILLION) Roots.

Wernher: Bad news everybody, we'll need 1 billion roots to get our drive.

Dinklestein: OH COME ON! Why is it that every time we do something frivolous, something else keeps us from our goal?

Wernher: Because, Dinklestein, we are nearing the end of our waiting. I have a plan for this; we'll send Gene into politics.

Gene: Politics? sounds like my kind of ball, can't wait to see how many over-privileged idiots i will deal with.

Wernher: Yes, while most every single person in politics right now is a complete imbecile, i'm fairly certain you'll be able to wheel and deal your way to 1,000,000,000 in no time.

Gene stood there, shocked. A moment of silence filled the room.

Gene: 1 BILLION ROOTS? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Wernher: Oh don't worry, if we can get government funding, we might even get over a trillion.

Gene: Yea, you could. but how do you expect to get the Government to even acknowledge us?

Wernher: Oh it's simple, we'll just create a political party that promotes space exploration, tell them what we want, and then let the money start flowing.

Gene: And how do we do THA-

Gene remembered his own skills.

Gene: Oh.

Wernher: Exactly.

Dinklestein and Eumon walked back into the room, notepads in hand each.

Gene: Good noon, everyone. I'm going into politics. May SQUAD have mercy on my soul.

Eumon: Oh, great, POLITICS. Boring old POLITICS. What would we need it for?

Gene: To get 1 billion roots for an Alcubierre drive.

Eumon almost had a heart attack.

Gene: ...Ok...Well, in the meantime, this meeting is over. I'm getting some snacks and coffee.

Wernher: Me too. And afterwords, we'll schedule a phone call with the president. Ask him for a meeting. When we tell him what we want, he'll be sure to give it to us.

---

Wernher, Gene, Dinklestein and Eumon got into a car after a phone call with the president went surprisingly well. On their way to the Green House, they encountered police escorts that ensured nobody would try to sabotage their work.

Wernher: here we are, boys. The green house! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Gene: ... Are you sure that needed an evil laugh?

Wernher: Well, not really, i'm just so excited!

The group arrive at the Greenhouses' large Despium-alloy door, marveling at the sheer size of it.

When they went inside, they saw a large interior filled to the brim with busy people in suits and ties on their cellphones. Most, if not all, of those busy people were also munching on their Big Maks they got from Burger Cing.

Eumon: Oh dear SQUAD, look at all this obesity. It's going to be a nightmare wading through the fat people.

Wernher:...Or we can just use that railway car.

Dinklestein: They HAVE those? Awsome!

After 5 long minutes of slow railway car travel, they finally arrive at the president's office.

Dinklestein: That. Was. Hell.

Wernher: Hello, Mr. President! Were' here to discuss our intent to re-start the KSP, and what we want to do it for!

President Sherman Kerman: Ah, yes, that. Well, I've already arranged to restart the KSP, and with a small piece of paper already written out here on my desk, i can give you a space program easily. The only word i need from you is what you intend to do with the space program after i give it to you.

Wernher: We intend to send a manned mission to Kroxima Kentauri using an Alcubierre drive.

President Sherman stared in shock.

President Sherman Kerman: WHY!!!

And with that, Sherman was unconscious. Soon afterword, Secret Service agents rushed into the room and injected Sherman with an unknown substance. moments later, Sherman got back up, and the agents rushed out of the room.

President Sherman Kerman: Before you ask, i'm fine. On with the discussion, a manned interstellar mission to another star? Are you insane?

Wernher: No. Were' capable, and willing.

President Sherman Kerman: Well, who's the crew?

Wernher:...Us. Were' the only ones going.

After a long pause, Sherman approved to paperwork and sint it into an air suction tube. moments later, it came back with a small silver card, which he handed over to Wernher.

President Sherman Kerman: This is the KSP. Go to the card activation scanner, and the KSP will be created in a few legal documents, the cloud, and even in a few space center inspectors that will arrive in no less that 3 minutes. On top of that, you're getting 3 trillion roots and a functional Alcubierre drive.

Wernher: ...Very well. You just made my life today.

[VelocityPolaris]

Nice story so far. I was going too suggest more specific details but it looks like you already implemented it into your previous chapter.
