"Finally!" I say in great delight. "I made a working engine out of the stuff in here! Let's see here, the best attaching system we have here... hmmm... I think it's a tie between duct tape and industrial glue. I'll use both."

The centrifuge spins up and soon the reading on the g-force meter passes three and a half gee's Suddenly, a bolt pops out and clangs to the floor. The centrifuge lurches and leans to one side, the rotation speeding up and up. The operator is going hectic, pulling levers and flipping levers. I unlatch the door and jump out. I skid on the concrete floor. I'm bruised but safe, however the centrifuge is not. It spins out of control and breaks apart. I dust myself off, nod to the operator, who is gawping in shock, and walk to the nearest vending machine to get a bag of chips and a soda.

"This might not be my place to say, but we have no time for snacks! The Koviets already got a satellite up, we have no time for chips and soda!"
I walk into the centrifuge room after completing the engine, and I see the centrifuge... er... not quite... operational.
"Umm... I got an engine working. I think it'll get someone or something into orbit, now, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE CENTRIFUGE?!?"

Can we fire him? He just broke the centrifuge and now he dares to get a snack.I'm no engineer but WE HAVE NO TIME for snacks. The Koviets are building something new right now I bet.

"Nope, we can't fire her. She's gonna be the first Kerbal in space if we can get a rocket up there fast enough. I think we have enough time for snacks anyway, according to the latest update from Agent Kirrim the Koviets don't have a working capsule. That won't change in a few minutes. I can fix the centrifuge, but only after we get her up into space."

Fine then. To make a capsule, duct tape every seam. Even if she dies, shell be first in space. ALRIGHT LET'S GET THIS GOING!

"Woo! To the duct tape!"

Park smiles as he walks to mission control, which is as usual, lounging around waiting for a flight to happen. These kerbals were smart, but they were not as creative as the engineers. Naturally, Park walks to his desk and finds a file.
Agent Kirim: The Koviets can't seem to figure out how to make a capsule. They might use remote controlled probes instead.
"Good, they are a bit behind. What's this?"
Park picks up a rectangular object and a large fabric comes out and very slowly drifts down.
"The engineers need to see this."
Park sprints off like someone multipyde his speed by 4 and finds an engineer.
"This thing causes drag, Smack it on the rocket or something, just don't duct tape over it. I think this will allow a return journey."

Two security guards grab me while I'm drinking the soda and it clatters to the floor. I reach for it but they push me towards mission control. "Oh," I say. "This is about the centrifuge, isn't it? I swear, that wasn't me. A bolt came out..." They don't listen and push me through the door into mission control.
Adken Kerman
I take up a file. It reads that KASA is to make a kerballed launch soon. "Engineers!" I say over the intercom. "Are you finished with that capsule yet? You have had plenty of time!" I wait in my chair for the reply. "Yes," the lead engineer says. "Now we need to green-tack it onto a rocket and we'll be ready to go to space!"

I begin duct-taping at lighting speed, attaching the engine using actual industrial glue, just in case. I call over a bunch of other engineers to help me, one brings a parachute thing, which I apparently forgot to make. After a few hours of duct-taping, my crew and I end up with a space-worthy rocket... hopefully. Nobody wants Jenny dead, except maybe for the Koviets, but they wouldn't go that far.

The intercom suddenly sparks to life: Get that rocket to the launchpad, sending Jenny to get there.
Parks whips around to see Jenny.
"Get suited up and pray to gerd you make it back. Good luck.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! LETS GET THIS ROCKET TO THE LAUNCHPAD!" I scream at literally everyone else in the VAB, we then proceed to throw it onto some logs and roll it there, because we don't have an actual movement system yet.

I salute Parks and walk out to the launchpad. The rocket is nearly on the pad, and I start climbing the ladder leading to the platform at the top. A long climb, but I make it. The rocket is still not in position so I sit down and start eating a crisp.
Adken Kerman
The rocket is on the pad. The Kosmonaut is in it. I light the fuse leading to the engines, when a drop of rain hit the small light and it fizzles out. "Frak", I mutter. I try to light it again, but the rain is getting heavier. "No!" I yell. "We're so close!"

"Good luck up there!" I call out to Jenny after getting the rocket into position, I run back to mission control and boot up the computers. They're state of the art, and they have entire Kilobytes of RAM!
KILOBYTES!
"Bring up comms and put the trajectory on the main screen!"
"Sir, we don't have a single main screen."
"Well then put it on all of those cheap screens that make up the main screen!"
"Done sir! Adjusting comms to open a channel with... uh... we haven't named it yet sir."
I hear the reports of everyone in mission control signaling a "go", and I pick up the comms mic.
"Jenny, two things. One, you're go for launch, two, want to name the tin can you're in?"

Parks Brit is noticeably missing from the control room. Normally he would be there screaming orders. Instead, he glued a parachute on the capsule of the rocket at the last second. Only now he returns.
