BACKSTORY

While I was working on my KSP Fanwork, A Mystery Beyond Science (you can find it in the KSP Forums), I wanted to give my characters a cool kerbalized TV show to watch when they have nothing else to do in space. So, I made a parody of Death Note called KIA Note. Like its source material, you can kill kerbals with the KIA Note just by writing down their real name and imagining their face. I just called it KIA note since it stands for Killed in Action.
For this particular spacecraft, in my KIA Note 2.0, the new notebook owner will find a way to kill his victims faster using a printer. Later, he will design a satellite meant for choosing his victims and, with the KIA Note encased inside, killing them at an alarming rate without him being seen with his primary tool.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE CURIOUS ON HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK

Keep in mind that this satellite was for a kerbalized TV show inside a KSP fanwork. However, if you genuinely want to know how this satellite is supposed to work in KIA Note 2.0, here you go.
1) Establish communication with Kiraken’s Hand from the surface. Keep in mind that it needs to be encrypted or otherwise kept secret, in case any detectives come poking around.
2) You can order it to target specific people or anyone in a specified group. Just like in the regular Death Note series (we don’t speak of the Netflix garbage), you can specify the manner and the circumstances. Otherwise, the default result is a heart attack after 40 seconds of writing the target’s name down - or in this case, printing the name and face - For example.
- Target every anti-space supporter in the central legislature and kill them at 3H30M, KSC time in five days.
- Target Mortimer Kerman.
- Find out this woman’s name and have her die from a drunk driving accident in three hours. (facial recognition glasses do not come with the satellite)
3) Kiraken’s Hand will then transmit you a confirmation request, as well as a quick password prompt (or retinal scan, if you use the facial recognition glasses). This is so that:
- if someone steals the controls, they won’t be able to use it.
- you don’t accidentally target the wrong person (e.g. misspelling, words slurred, you mutter the activation phrase by mistake).
4) This satellite was supposedly designed for Kerbnet traffic, so it has plenty of names and faces to select. After receiving its commands, it will search Kerbnet for the names and faces of the specified targets according to the given parameters and be ready to print them on the KIA Note housed inside. Once it receives confirmation, it will scan the notebook for the next available open space and begin writing.
- if you send a picture of the face, it will search the web for the name associated with that face (e.g. driver’s license, mugshot, online yearbook).

With this thing, you could become the god of the new Kerbin. However, should the need arise, you have a self-destruct button.
