“Uh… KSC… We have a problem!”
-Samner
Samner, aboard the KSS, reports that the original station core has a leak! In order to save the entire station, the affected area is evacuated, and the module is ejected!
“Jeez, as this thing gets older, more and more parts keep breaking! We may need to think about getting an engineer up here or we might have to replace the whole thing!”
-Glenica
Indeed, the KSS has been having multiple problems lately. KSEA engineers start work on a systems upgrade to the station! With the myriad of problems on the station it’s not clear exactly what can be done to save the KSS.

The second attempt at launching the cupola module for the KSS takes off!

Orbit is achieved, and this time power seems to be sufficient. Mission Control sends commands to being a rendezvous with the Kerbin Space Station! 
“Oh hey, there it is! It’s nearly as big as the ACV!”
-Orlas (ACV = Aurora Crew Vehicle)

The trickiest part is next… the automated command module disconnects, leaving the Cupola Module in an uncontrolled state, just outside the station.
“I’m on it!”
-Orlas
Orlas goes EVA, and heads to the module! After some hair-raising moments, docking is achieved – way to go everybody! This is starting to look like a space station!
Aurora 1 launches from Cape Kerman! 
Valentina expertly pilots the craft to orbit, carrying rookie scientists Kimmy and Glenica. They’ll join Orlas at the new Kerbal Space Station!

“I see the station… moving in to rendezvous… ”
-Val

“Got it! We’re docked!”
-Val
Aurora 1 successfully docks with the Kerbin Space Station! Glenica and Kimmy head over and meet Orlas.
“Hey everybody! Did someone bring cards…?”
-Orlas
