Day 2:
You wake up and run straight to the calendar, today was the day of the launch. As you are walking to the space suit room you briefly go over the mission schedule that you grabbed from your room. "Initiate standard launch procedure and go into orbit. Plot intersection orbit with Minmus and execute plotted maneuver then Rendezvous and dock with the Minmus Fuel Station, or MFS, and start collecting fuel for your ship to use. Undock and exit Kerbin's gravitational pull. Plot intersection orbit with Duna and execute the plotted maneuver, then once you have come close to Duna's gravitational pull Slow down and go into orbit around Duna. Plot intersection orbit with Ike and execute the plotted maneuver then go into orbit around Ike and find suitable place to land and land, then start mining and refining into fuel. The rest of the mission will consist of going into orbit to greet ships and refuel them, then using the left over ore to give yourself more fuel to get down and start mining again. You should arive at your target in about 3 years, however you will be awoken from your deep sleep to execute certain parts of the mission. Many things can go wrong once you have docked down on Ike, this is why you cannot go into deep sleep while on Ike" That was going to take time, 3 years to get to Duna and back? At least you'll be asleep all of that time. You arrive at the space suit room where you knock politely just in case Valentina hadn't put on the special cooling garment that apparently had to be worn according to the sign outside. When you hear no response, you decide to go in and get changed perceiving it as a sign that she hadn't arrived there yet. You get in and start taking off all of your clothes. You just finished this when you hear the old door creak open, it was Valentina. "I'm not finished getting changed!" you shouted in panic, You see her pupils pupils expand and her face go red as she quickly closes her eyes, just in time before any damage was done. "Shit, sorry, Y/N, should've knocked, uh... didn't see anything though" she uttered as she awkwardly stepped back through the door. About 10 minutes later you had completed the change and now in your spacesuit. You exited to see an embarrassed Valentina kerman sitting on the nearby bench. "First time walking in on someone getting changed into a spacesuit before?" you joked. She was glad you didn't take it seriously and apologized. After she got changed you and Valentina walked side by side down the hall and to the rocket, the press was there and took their pictures. You clambered into the MK 2 lander can where you would be spending the next 16 years of your life (The 10 years of your mission and the extra 3 years of deep sleep there and back). You get into the passenger seat, glad it's your fuel and not some incompetent idiot who made it. 5, you hear the count down start 4, you make sure you are buckled in to your seat belt extra tight. 3, you are filled with feelings of agitation. 2, your mind is filled with the things you've regretted with your life. 1, You close your eyes... Lift off! You hear the solid rocket boosters roar into action as they lift you into the air as you reach 200 m/h. Valentina, being experienced, is not phased by this at all and her laughs conceal your screams. About 4 minutes later, you were in orbit. It was a strange feeling, weightlessness, being able to fly around. You couldn't do it much for two reasons, one Valentina needed to concentrate, two the lander can was about the size of a three person inflatable swimming pool. After a few minutes of staring out into the vacuum of space, "Hey, Y/N, you should get strapped in again. we are gonna have to start the engines again soon". With a sign, you agree. You sit down and get strapped in as Valentina starts the engines. 3 minutes pass, "Hey, Y/N, we've finished the burn" There was no point into going to deep sleep as it would only take a day to get to Minmus, but you wonder how to entertain yourself... Luckily, you were allowed to bring a bock of personal items with you (After being decontaminated). You delve into that box of goodies for your JebBoy®, one of the first portable games console made by KerbTendo™. You put in "Super Jebediah Land" and started playing. "Here, take this" Valentina appeared over you with an adapter cable for your 6-pin plug to a 4-pin one compatible with the ship's electricity bank. "My way of making up for what happened in the space suit room." You smile and thank her. "Is this even allowed?" You utter in a low voice so the voices in mission control don't pick up what you're saying. "Uh, there's no rule against it, I think?" "In any case there's not much mission control can do about it now" You both laugh as you power on the console. It is coming to when you would usually go to sleep, it is standard procedure to take turns sleeping so if something goes wrong someone is awake to sort it out or if they couldn't they could wake the other person to sort it out. You take shifts being awake, for the first shift you were sleeping and Valentina was monitoring the status of the ship while playing on your JebBoy. Half way through the night you were awoken by Valentina telling you that it was your shift. With a sigh, you got up and went to your station to receive the JebBoy.
