== Introduction ==

While the Kerbals were getting ready to assemble a base on the Mun in preparation of a manned flight to Duna, the corporatist seats in the senate won a major election, and covertly assassinated the president to install a caligulous regime where they thrived and the common person was seen as a rube, a drone, an ice cube in their drink of money. The CEOs met in the [[w:White House|secret office of doom!]] and decided to cut 50% of the KSP's budget, believing that space was boring and too expensive, cutting into their fat paychecks that would buy them really nice cars, mansions, and beach houses in Kalibu. Well, Werhner von Kerman had a fit after that. While he was in prison after being falsely labelled a Neo-Kazi, the people back at the space center who were not on a corporate bankroll (the orange suits) devised a plan to convince the Government to give them their money back.

While the Kerbals were getting ready to go on a new flag planting spree all over Eeloo ,the Kerbal government finally realized that it had better things to do than spend billions of dollars on a space program who's rockets explode half the time. So, they met in their [[w:White House|secret office of doom!]] and decided to cut 50% of the KSP's budget. Well, Werhner Von Braun had a fit after that. While he was in the hospital recovering his sanity, the people back at the space center who were still sane (The orange suits) devised a plan to convince the Government to give them their money back. And what better way than to [[w:Curiosity(rover)|launch rovers everywhere and talk about it on social media!]]

Missions

Minimus

MIN-001

Due to the sorbet color of Minimus's plains and highlands, Kerbals have theorized that the color must be a really nice hue for the spectacular hills that arise at select regions. More and more people are asking you to take pictures of the surface so they can see for themselves. The rover must have:

  • Unmanned.
  • A comm device.
  • Enough electricity to last through the night.
  • At least 4 solar panels.
  • Landing site in a flats biome ( preferably near a highlands biome).
  • All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
  • Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
  • Enter the highlands biomes near the flats.

MIN-002

The first pictures of Minimus were a overwhelming success. The photos have gone viral and Kerbals have showed a renewed interest in space. Due to an accident between the social experts and the flight planners, they didnt actually get pictures of mountains, like the Kerbals wanted. So they have to retake photos for the sake of funds. The rover must have:

  • Unmanned.
  • A comm device.
  • Enough electricity to last through the night.
  • At least 4 solar panels.
  • Landing site in North pole area near broken terrain.
  • All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
  • Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
  • Explore, photograph, and do experiments near the broken terrain anomaly.

Eve

EV3-001

Klutonium has been found around Eve. Scientist's have predicted that they were from Eve's atmosphere, and the atmosphere's Klutonium was from the ground. But don't worry, Eve is not a huge nuclear bomb because Kadium has also been found in enough amounts to stop a reaction. The Kerbal Mining Korps want you to analyze a sample from the Eveian water. Here's what you need:

  • Unmanned.
  • Enough electricity to last through the night.
  • All science experiments.
  • Parachutes.
  • Comm device.
  • At least 4 solar panels.
  • Land near the shore.
  • While hurtling through the atmosphere, do an atmosphere analysis.
  • When you land, take a picture of yourself.
  • Rove towards the water.
  • Do science in the water and photograph yourself in it.

EV3-002

Klutonium has been found in large amounts in the water and atmosphere, but they are Klutonium-235, which is unusable. The atmosphere analysis showed that Klutonium-238, which is usable, is also present. The Kerbal Mining Korps want you to analyze the soil, which is probably the source of all that Klutonium-238 in the atmosphere.

Laythe

LY-001

Next is Laythe, an almost habitable planet. To settle the question of life existing there, various academic organizations have funded you to send a rover to Laythe. Also, we all want to know right? Here's what you need:

  • Unmanned.

  • Include a self destruct sequence (using action groups) if intelligent life is met. You have to at least destroy the rover core, at most destroy the entire rover.

War!

The corporatocracy has taken over the the KSC and started executing personnel for defying their orders to stop wasting money on boring space missions and divert it to their efforts to enslave suburban areas and exterminate minorities. Falling back to the island airstrip, the orange suits have decided the time to fight back is now.

  • Using the Kerbal Konstructs mod, place a bunch of fighter jets with small missiles on the island airbase. Also build some missile boats.

  • When the dust settles, send in a second salvo of missiles to snuff out the survivors! And when the few remaining corporatists are kneeling with their hands over their heads, BOMB THEM AGAIN!
  • Move in and rebuild the KSC.

Finishing word

Although the corporatists were wiped out, the new president, Donald Krump, still won't fund the KSC, preferring to build a wall along Kerbica's southern border and make Kexico pay for it (he claims the wall is gonna be HYUUUGE), as well as deport all illegal Kexican immigrants in Kerbica without amnesty, so it is up to the people to intiate the next stage of Kerbal evolution: Private Spaceflight!
