Munbase Kappa; planned by KSC Directors for some time, never put into action until JEb, Bill, and Bob got fed up, pooled some funds, and said "Do it."

So it was done.

Munbase Kappa is being assembled; a SCIENCE, military, and civil facility on that little grey rock. The crew was assembled in the Astronaut Complex for the first time - after rather intensive training - to chat and sit through a briefing.

Jeb: "Nice to see you lot here. Nobody chickened out, at least."
Thompbles: "Hardly. I doubt even the SCIENCE geeks would do that."
Aldner: "Even if I revealed Jeb was flying the first base module?"
Thompbles: "..."
Markus: "Well, nobody ran, at least. Introductions, boss?"
Jeb: "Right. Here, we have Commander Aldner Kerman; he'll be your base commander and space traffic controller on the Mun."
Aldner: "Yo."
Jeb: "Captain Thompbles; your dropship pilot and mission coordinator."
Thompbles: "Hello."
Jeb: "CFO Nelemy; general-purpose pilot and control systems technician."
Nelemy: "Howdy."
Jeb: "Doctor Shadowcat; chief science officer and astrophysicsist."
Shadowcat: "Greetings."
Jeb: "SFO Markus, second-wave pilot and orbital station commander."
Mark: "Hey."
Jeb: And the rest... aren't here yet. Huh. Well, welcome aboard, you lot."

As coffees and tea is had, and the main hab is rolled towards the pad, chats happen.

Unfortunately, due to a darkroom accident costing six thousand kredits and two technician's sanity, no images of the launch, orbital insertion, or landing were recorvered. (Re: Forgot to screenshot).

However, after Jeb, Aldner, Thompbles, Shadowcat, and Kelly arrived, they snapped a picture: Jeb: "I'm Jebadiah Kerman, and this is my favourite spot in the Kerbol system."
Kelly: "Good to be here. 'Scuse, I have checks to run."
Shadowcat: "I would appreciate access to our navigational logs, Director. I woul dlike to refine and improve our flight path for the future."
Jeb: "Sure, Doc."

And so, the first night on the Mun began.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hehehehhehhehhe
Oh wait, I left the mike on shit!

Director of Experimental Tech Fenway requests a laboratory (and himself) be placed at Munbase Kappa. He will provide funds (and experimental tech) if accepted.

See what I can do for you.

Hrm. Due to a computer malfunction in the control module (re: the game had a vicious attack of lag), the main Physics Lab module is now lying on its side. Nelemy and Lengas survived the landing fine, and have rearranged the module's interior to be oriented correctly.

Nova Dynamics apologises to Shadowcat Kerman for the inconvenience. Next module: Hab 2 / Ops Center.

Doctor Shadowcat states idly "If we had computer to malfunction in the first place this would happen less..." (Aka mech jab in all it's cheating glory )

Kelly, annoyed about the fact a malfunction occurred, has volunteered to take a look at the computer. You know, so there won't be any more malfunctions from the evidently faulty machine.

Kelly has been sent the revised flight programming for Hab #2, which will be flown up by Markus and will also have a return craft for Jeb and Lengas.

Module after that will likely be the utility and storage module; KAS equipment, assorted equipment, general useful stuff.

In order to survey the Mun, as well as hold supplies for the Munbase, an orbital station has been suggested.

Thank you for reminding me, actually; Mark is to command the station, so I may as well just send it up next.
