KSP forums does science fiction

[EpicRootHairCell]

The idea of this thread is that i start off by writting the first line of a Sci-Fi story and then each person contributes the next line. Rules, only comment one line, keep profanity etc. to where it is really need, and continue the story in a logical fashion.

My first line:

Sitting on the launch pad, watching the count down tick away, John begins to ponder the mysteries of the universe but is but off by routine radio traffic.

Suddenly, he is 30 seconds from liftoff.

[Kinglet]

He is nervous as the countdown lowers to 20 seconds, hoping mission control will not notice the king quail he smuggled on board.

King quail:

I wonder how the next person will explain this

[mrmcp1]

As the countdown lowers to 15 seconds he notices that the window is open and the quail is gone.

[Guest Fyre Flare]

T- 10 seconds and then sudden nuke blows up America

[robopilot99]

But the launch continues because he is on a mostly deserted island in the Pacific Ocean!

[TheDataMiner]

T-0 and as John lifts off, the news comes in. He sheds a single tear for the country where he was raised and where his family live. But that's why he is on this mission, he is going back in time, back to stop this nuclear war before it ever started.

[FanaticalFighter]

As the hot plasma from the ejecta blasts the ocean underneath the artificial platform he was launching from, John's spacecraft, the first craft ever made that could exceed the speed of light, rose majestically upwards, the last hope of a species plunged into nuclear war.

[Rjtaml]

Then the side booster blew up.

[bigyihsuan]

As the rocket rose and spun out of control, he remembered he forgot to close the window. He then proceeded to start to asphyxiate.

[robopilot99]

As he violently tumbled through the air he realized he was probably going to die.

[StrandedonEarth]

In an act of desperation, he hit the Jeb button which activated the super-luminal drive

[Xorth Tanovar]

He later came to realize the ship was pointing at the ground, and thought "Uh oh, bad move"

[TheDataMiner]

John woke up. He had blacked out from the gee forces caused by the spinning craft. With monumental effort, he unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to check the date. June 5, 1942; far to early. then he remembered where he launched from, and started to panic. He was in the thick of the Battle of Midway, floating in his capsule.

[robopilot99]

He climbed out of his capsule and looked around,

[KerbMav]

Luckily it was the dead of night, so it was unlikely anyone saw him falling into the water from 40.000 feet high. All that might have been observed was a brief flash of light and the crack of the air being displaced by the ship, easily mistaken as a single odd lightning in the night sky.

[apex-prey]

He could see land was not far so he grabed what suplise he could ,put them in his back pack and hoped his ray gun would survive the water as he dove in and began swimming to shore.

[Rjtaml]

He also forgot he had not had his helmet on at the time, and he grabbed his helmet and put it on his head and gasped for air.

[DJEN]

And suddenly, he was enveloped in a blinding light.

[Socio]

The quail which escaped earlier then appeared as it must of got stuck on the engine trying to fly away. Unfortunately this got the eyes of a Japanese patrol who saw the high tech equipment he was near...

[TheDataMiner]

Still in the darkness, john couldn't see the patrol until it pulled up right alongside him and turned their spotlights right on him!

[Guest Fyre Flare]

John runs Bruce Willis Style.

Then being captured by Japanese Patrol and put in a Concentration Camp.

[Ultraflight]

At that point, the quail pecks the Japanese soldiers to death. It then proceeds to travel through time, acquire a bird-shaped spacesuit with indefinite air supply, and get stuck under the Surveyor 3 lander in the 60s.

... I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.

Anyways!,

John then breaks out! Then runs Bruce Willis Style... again.

Finding his lost spacecraft in the ocean... He proceeds to press the Jeb Button... Bringing him to.... 2156...

[apex-prey]

He is amazed to find there was no water he was on a mountian the contanets must have shifted
