Roger that, Kerty! Once my Dres mission (see the thread) arrives, it'll stand by to confirm crossing Dres orbit.

Kerty, could you please run a system check of the hibernating probes? Their artificial intelligence units are definitely working fine, but I want to make sure that the systems are still go.

The Kassini probe from Buzzsaw Aerospace is being opened for use as a comms relay for Kron 6 until the probe reaches it's deep-space correction manuver in 3 years

Probes are unaffected by the ionizing radiation. Also, no Kerbol storms occured.

Noice.

Kerty is playing Pong.

Seems like Kerty is pretty fine out there!

Plock seems like a relatively interesting place. Hard to get to, that's for sure.

Do you think we'll find anything interesting on Karen?

I have a hunch we will.

Who is Kerty playing Pong against? MechJeb?

MechJeb can't go near my laptop. :D

Itself, and it's winning!

It's bi-winning.

--INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM DRES SCANSAT--

Kerty, warning! Detecting Class E Asteroid in Dresteroid belt on collision course with Kron 6! Evasive action recommended!

--END TRANSMISSION--

Where?!...

After looking through Kubble Space Telescope images, we believe we've found landing sites for Kron 6 on Plock and Karen. Beros and Kyx are too small for details to be found.

Kaos 3 probe mapped a great deal of their surfaces, even some surface features of Beros and Kyx, check back a few pages for reference points.

Where? 150km from Dres on escape trajectory at last detection. Relative velocity at impact is ~3000 m/s. This is an actual asteroid in one of my saves that I cross-checked with Kron 6's orbit :). Beginning analysis of Kaos 3 images.

So I was reading this and thinking, well, time for a cross canonical rescue mission, when I realized:

Wait!

Kron 6 might be big, but it's a toothpick compared to the size of interplanetary space! There is no way an asteroid from Dres orbit hurled itself to escape velocity and onto a trajectory to hit that small a target by natural means! The odds are just too long, it can't be a coincidence! It has to have been intelligently targeted!

"an actual asteroid in one of my saves". Hmm...

Kal!

KAL!

Did you FLING that asteroid at Kron 6?

Uhh... Um... Look, a butterfly! RUUUN!

Ok, actually, I was going to have the Asteroid Redirect probe rendezvous with Kron 6, but there was a Klaw failure... Seriously, that's actually what happened.
