Is there being anyone in town who is being ah-- what is word...? "Rocket Scientist"?

Something of Russia's has fallen out of the sky, so is needing to be put back now. Russia does not think can throw hard enough to make it all the way back up.

[If you catch Russia at his house, he's standing around his yard or in the street, squinting up at the sky

[Margot, eyepatch and all, is leaning over the fence to get a look at this... thing in her neighbor's yard. Crazy ones. Always with the crazy ones.]

[kol_shevik]

[Russia is standing on a lawn chair, throwing the satellite into the air and catching it again when it falls back down, muttering "Up! Up!" at it.

This isn't crazy at all.]

[resurrectinto]

[Okay, she can't keep it in anymore:]

What the fuck are you doing?

[kol_shevik]

Satellite has fallen out of sky, so Russia is trying to re-launch back where it is belonging!

[terrorring]

[Looking. Over. The astronomy geek in me had to tag this]

....Sputnik?

[kol_shevik]

Да! Is little Sputnik though Russia is not knowing how it is getting all the way back down here without burning up in atmosphere.

[terrorring]

So that's the real Sputnik. [TOUCHES IT really quickly just so he can say that he did.]

It did burn up in the atmosphere in 1958 after its three months in orbit. Forget that one and go ahead and build Sputnik 2. [Laika, sob]

[kol_shevik]

[Stroking Sputnik fondly.]

Two is already built mostly. Was going to launch on November 7th, on anniversary! Even have cute little dogs to go inside!

. . . Was being right before Russia is leaving home.

[Oh look, it's your little Gensokyo-comrade Yuuka passing by on a stroll...though...she HAS to stop when she sees Russia in his yard holding that...thing.]

What on earth is that?

[kol_shevik]

[STANDING ON HIS TOES, HOLDING IT AS HIGH ABOVE HIS HEAD AS HE CAN.

This is bound to work!!]

Is Russia's satellite!

[convallariaceae]

Sat...el..light?

What is it you're trying to do with it?

[kol_shevik]

It is flying into space, and orbiting the earth.

Trying to put it back where it belongs.

[motheringnation]

[.....oh hey brother...walking by]

Ah....brother?

...what is that?

[kol_shevik]

Is Sputnik! You are not recognizing Defeat Of the Capitalists?

[motheringnation]

But.....what is it doing here?

[kol_shevik]

Mm, Russia does not know. Was by mailbox this morning, so must have fallen here by accident. And mysteriously avoided being burned up in atmosphere.

[kol_shevik]

Is aluminium and magnesium and titanium! Russia's scientists have worked very hard to make right metal!

Is supposed to be in Space, so Russia is trying to put it back.

[kol_shevik]

Dwarves? Ah . . . perhaps are small compared to Motherland? Well they are not all that very short most of the time.

Going to find a way! Perhaps mixing vodka and gasoline.
