navyfield90: To make sure the Kerbals are occupied and don't get bored!

Ridli Scott: He also has different shades of sunglasses, depending on how bad it is. The darker the sunglasses, the higher the chance the person that got him angry will die. Of course, it's a little hard to get a little higher than 100%, but it's possible, right?

Jebediah sighed, watching the sun set as he drank from a cup of Kemonade.

Seven months had passed. Much had changed since. The KOB had expanded another few square kilometers of land, with lots of production plants, Kethane drilling stations, and even an R&D.

The Kerbals had built an aircraft carrier out in the nearby ocean, alongside two destroyers. The ships were too large to build all at once in the KOB's VAB or SPH, so they built large platforms with RoveMax Model XL3s wheels on them to transport the pieces to the ocean, where they were assembled in a large dry-dock. The aircraft carrier and destroyers were built as not just weapon platforms, but as research and communication centers.

Lelei's sister, Arpeggio El Lalena, studies minerals. Although she is very knowledgeable about the subject, she is paid very little for it and therefore lives in poverty. When Lelei introduced her to the Kerbals and the Kerbals asked her for locations of resource deposits in the world, with the promise to pay her, she jumped right on it. Kethane was rather easy to get, as the Kerbals have specialized scanners for it, but resources like iron, titanium, and conductors like copper and gold were not too easy to detect.

The forest that had the village of non-humans in it were under protection by the Kerbals, and the Kerbals made it clear to the Empire that it was.

Speaking of the Empire, relations with that country was better than before, but not perfect. Although parts of the Empire resented the Kerbals, it's not like they could do anything about it.

Because the irradiated space debris formed a ring around the planet, the Kerbals were having much difficulty navigating around it to get anywhere higher than a geostationary orbit. It was possible to go over the debris, but it required several complicated maneuvers that cost a lot of fuel. For now, they had to reply on the Space GATE and the KSC for any interplanetary missions.

Kerbal technology had advanced, too. Jet engines got more efficient, mining drills were compacted enough to put on space probes, and even larger aircraft were developed for airdrops and cargo transport. There was even a breakthrough with weird hover-pad things that was created from Falmart science, but they were currently too expensive to mass-produce.

As for the space program itself, new capsules and parts were built to accommodate their human and non-human friends. Many had decided to join the space program and advance the science and technology they had.

Giselle had not bothered the Kerbals for quite awhile. And for a good reason, too.

Rory had told the Kerbals that her time was drawing near. When the Kerbals asked what that meant, she explained to them that, as an apostle, she would ascend on the one-thousandth year she had been made an apostle. She said she was going to ascend as the Goddess of Love and had ascended a little more than a week after telling the Kerbals.

That was over four months ago.

Rory didn't completely leave the Kerbals behind when she left, though. About a month ago, an apostle showed up at their doorstep. She had introduced herself as Amare Venus, apostle of Rory Mercury, Goddess of Love.

She looked very young, even younger than Rory. She has very light blonde, straight, waist-length hair, and wore a somewhat loose-looking blue shirt and a white dress. She had an exotic-looking bow over her back and a quiver full of arrows. Upon her head was a single triangular headpiece.

The Kerbals soon found out, after welcoming her, that she had a very innocent and carefree personality. However, she was an extremely good sharpshooter and was able to outdo the best Kerbal gun snipers with her bow in sharpshooting contests.

The Kerbals themselves have sent out tons of drones and probes to check out areas off of the continent of Falmart. They've found a continent of ice, and one that has vast, endless deserts. The ocean was also very interesting, too.

The tanks belonging to the non-human village, the Pan-Sir Fore, the Kay-Vii Too, and the Hewlcat were heavily examined by the Kerbals. There were also a few documents with them, and the Kerbals were able to translate most of the documents. Although the Kerbals didn't understand more than half of the documents' content, it was still an interesting read.

"Jeb! Jeb!"

Bob Kerman ran up to him.

"What is it now?" Jeb asked, placing his Kemonade down.

"There's been a fire in the hangar! One of our experimental propeller planes sheared off the wing of another aircraft and started a fire!"

Jeb replied,"It doesn't sound so serious, why'd you go to me for help?"

The fuel depot, which was located right next to the hangar, exploded and knocked down Bob and Jeb. Jeb could see a mushroom cloud rise over the fuel depot.

Jebediah quickly told Bob,"Contact Amare and Lelei, I'll be there in a second."

Bob nodded his head, and headed off his way. Seeing the fuel depot burn, Jeb pulled out a pair of sunglasses - ones not as dark as the ones he used during the SSTO - Spaceplane battle, but they were still sunglasses.

And then, the fire spread to the VAB and that blew up.

Jeb looked at the now-destroyed VAB. He placed a darker pair of sunglasses over his current sunglasses.

"Time to head out."

Conquering Falmart has never been so easy!

This conclusion was rather . . . short, if that's the word? I didn't know how else to end it, and if I made it longer and more drawn out I'd lose interest.

Well, I had fun writing and brainstorming ideas for this!
