Welcome back ... glad you had a fun trip. Looks like Han's managed to crack Queen Jaina's armor, though learning of the alternate history seemed to shock him to the core. Matters of the collective? Like, for instance, an incoming fleet? Loved how Han asked about the droids. And a Borg incubator makes even a dreaded Virginia summer seem chilly in comparison. I wonder why they like it hot enough to boil a monkey's bum. Holy crap, Leia spoke!

Loved Luke's encouragement. And Luke meeting Padme ... perfect. He's got so much of her temperament ... interesting how the Skywalker twins got their same-sex parents' looks, but their other sex parents' temperaments. Sorry, had to make that little aside. Glad that the Praxeum is OK. Padme and Mara in the same room would be rather ... interesting. I dunno how Jim'd fare against Ol' Yellow Eyes, though I'm sure he could handle EV9D9 right quickly.

ZebulaNebula: P.S. I'm not weak minded ...

*sigh* I know. Can't blame a girl for tryin', especially when there's Romulan Ale at stake! Salud! *takes a healthy swig* grin


Welcome back, Striker!!! hugs We're so glad you had such a good time, and that nephew of yours is CUTE! [face_"awww!"]


~ shhh

shock mischief whistling



Pshaw, Waru is a mid-season episode for TNG.

laugh Burn!



[I did some... 'modifications' to his communicator so he sounded like an Ewok whenever he spoke. Unfortunately, he liked it and kept it as another setting.]

Revenge backfire. Oh well.



~Chewie strode up to Han and rubbed his paw over Han's hair, ruffling it up even more. [If that was my fate, then dying to save the Cub's life would be a great way to go into the Shadowlands.]
~Han swallowed. “But I wouldn't want you to die,” he whispered.
~Chewie whined slightly before enveloping Han in a hug. [Better me than the Cub, Honor Brother.]

Aw! *sniffles* That was so sweet! sad



~Han could only voice a single word. “Why?”
~“Because he died... and let me live,”

Hey! HEY! That can be our new motto! "The New Jedi Order: A fate WORSE than death!"

batting



Chewie grunted and held out his arms. [You think you've got it bad? I grew up in a jungle and think it's uncomfortable!]

laugh He must smell like fifty wet dogs!



There's no way this alternate Jaina can beat you.”

Yeah! Everything in the NJO and beyond is only a pale, sickly version of its real self! You can do it!!!



And you being here has other benefits, Luke. If Queen Jaina had been able to fully assimilate you while your soul was still in its body, she'd be able to project the Hive Mind into every Jedi in both realities.

You're just that awesome, Luke.



Colonel Judder Page emerged from one of the shuttles.

PAGE!!! *glomps* He's the original, right? Or is he a relative?



~Padme reached out a hand to him. “She's a good woman, Luke. Perhaps...”
~“Perhaps?”
~Padme bit her lip slightly. “Sorry, spoke a bit too much there.” She waved her hand at her son. “You don't want to ask anymore about that.”

confused What was THAT all about? *eagerly looks forward to Striker's "You'll see" response...*

*also agrees with ZebulaNebula's assessment of the Skywalker family's resemblances*



Up for the ides of September! (Which just doesn't have the same ring to it, regrettably.)

I had to go backwards and then forwards again with the plot bunny? That's... annoying! (And also weird.)

Hotaru is there... but is she a Senshi here?

Oh, interesting wrinkle, that...

[I did some... 'modifications' to his communicator so he sounded like an Ewok whenever he spoke. Unfortunately, he liked it and kept it as another setting.] He shook his furry head and growled. [Should've gone with the Hutt setting.]

laugh Well, at least Queen Jaina's getting to hear some interesting stories. Not that it'll help her lighten up like at all or anything...

“How would you react to Chewie dying so Anakin could live?”

It can vary from universe to universe, and, though tactless, she kind of has a point.

“You should know about the differences in the realities, if you hope to understand me.” She glanced to Anakin. “Didn't matter, though. Anakin died on Myrkr, gutted by a Vong in some heroic last stand.” He brow wrinkled, casting shadows over her eye. “He died so I could live, so the Voxyn could be stopped... and I hate him for it.”

I'm refraining on commenting on the NJO, most of it, because I like to think that that's only one way it could have gone, but this... loved it. Showing this Jaina at her most vulnerable, letting them see part of why she IS this person they see before them. Her world was basically torn apart and never put back together again, and you portray that aspect wonderfully.

“And you being here has other benefits, Luke. If Queen Jaina had been able to fully assimilate you while your soul was still in its body, she'd be able to project the Hive Mind into every Jedi in both realities.”

So that's why Kam later says it cut off suddenly. Wow... Go spirit people with the good advice!!!


Well done and good chapter.

I miss Chewie.

The Luke stuff is interesting...that's so Luke, too. A bit of impatience, and finally resolving to behave himself.

Welcome back happy

Hey I'm back and I just managed to catch up. Looks like the fleets are gathering and preparing to strike back at the Collective where it hurts. Looking forward to seeing how that goes...and what ultimately becomes of "Queen" Jaina.

Juliet-She can? I wasn't aware of that. wink I feel bad for him, too. Don't worry, though. His time will come.

Zeb-Thanks. happy I did have fun, but it was a 'busy' vacation. Tiring, too. And yeah, learning of the utter mess in the 'canon' universe would shock him. No fleet... yet. wink Han cares a lot more about the droids here, due to... past circumstances. mischief And yeah, she spoke. That was a good aside. I don't mind. wink You are right, though. Although it seems Luke and Leia gained mental traits from the other parent to balance out the extremes. And I have a feeling Jim could talk Palps into jumping down the reactor shaft. laugh

Jade_eyes-One of these days, I gotta continue that fic... A 2009-ST fic? I haven't given it much thought. Why? confused And Luke is... waiting in the wings, until the time is right to strike.

earlybird-Yeah, and the combo is worse. Glad you liked that part, too. :0

Jaded_Girl-Thanks. grin And yeah, he's a cutie. love

shock mischief whistling
Wait for my PM on the subject. wink

Chewie's death wasn't bad per se. If he had to go, fulfilling his Life-Debt like that was a good option. That's an excellent motto... sadly. sad Luke is that awesome. And it's page himself. Turns out 'Judder' is his first name.

~Padme reached out a hand to him. “She's a good woman, Luke. Perhaps...”
~“Perhaps?”
~Padme bit her lip slightly. “Sorry, spoke a bit too much there.” She waved her hand at her son. “You don't want to ask anymore about that.”

confused What was THAT all about? *eagerly looks forward to Striker's "You'll see" response...*
You'll see... tongue

Daena-Yes, you did. But don't worry. The plot bunny is growing. The NJO is only one way it could've gone, yes. The entire GFFA might have also used... common sense in dealing with the Vong. frustrated Glad you liked Queen Jaina, here. happy She's just so.... broken. And yeah, the ghosts knew what was going on.

JediCarpet-I miss Chewie, too. sad Glad I got Luke right. happy And good to be back.

BAF-Welcome back. They're preparing, yup. As for Jaina, you'll see. wink

All right. Sorry for a short post this week. DRL and trying to get caught up on my Luke/Mara AU. *Sigh* I'll try to make up for it next week.

Here we go!

*****
Starbase 312, edge of the Federation
Ships from Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force, Cardassian Militia, Gorn navy, Imperial Navy, New Republic Defense Force, Hapan Navy and Romulan Imperial Fleet gathered at one of the last outposts of civilization before the unknown Delta Quadrant-Starbase 312.

An enormous Lya-class space station orbited the fourth planet of the system, along with drydock facilities, defense satellites and over fifty Starfleet starships permanently assigned to the system. Close to four billion people lived in the system, which bore the name 'Omega'-the last letter in the Greek alphabet. If the rest of the Federation fell, the Omega System would carry on to rebuild.

The outer edge of the Omega System lit up as over two hundred Defense Force vessels exited hyperspace, spreading out. Nebula-class destroyers, Nebulon-B escort frigates and Defender-class assault carriers formed a loose sphere with smaller ships around the edge. And at the center was the RSS Lusankya, an Executor-class star destroyer and flagship of Rogue Fleet, a special fleet answerable only to General Wedge Antilles, General Traest Kre'fey and Ackbar himself.

Wedge stood on the Lusankya's bridge, hands clasped behind him as he looked out the massive viewport. His eyes looked to the right as Wes, Tycho and Hobbie approached. “Report.”

Wes held out a datapad. The normally grinning pilot was frowning. “All ships have arrived, although the Dawnstar reports encountering a temporal anomaly and arriving ten minutes ahead of schedule.”

Wedge sighed as he took the datapad and scrolled down it. “Only one ship? Luck is with us.” He turned to his friends. “We'll need more than that, though, if we're to survive the Borg.”

Tycho nodded. “There's talk in the galleys and the hangars. You know the type. Some people don't think they'll be coming home.”

Hobbie snorted. He looked back at the bridge, the aft stations, the crew pits and stations lining the bulkheads. “That's not good. People talking like they're gonna die tomorrow usually end up making sure it comes to pass.”

A Twi'lek lieutenant approached the group, a datapad in hand. “Sir, reports from department heads.” She held out the thin piece of rectangular plastic, screen side up.

Wedge reached over and took it from her. “Thanks,” he mumbled. He pressed a button on the pad's control panel and the information scrolled down. The general then pressed his thumb onto a small square in the lower right corner before handing it back to the lieutenant. “Send out a message to all heads. We ship off in twelve hours-right after the Kenobi arrives. We have to be ready for... anything.”

The Twi'lek nodded. Her lekku twitched as she took back the pad. “In the Milky Way? If we're ready for anything, then won't nothing happen?” she asked, smiling and chuckling.

Wes turned his head to her and glared. “No time for jokes, Lieutenant,” he snarled. “We launch in twelve hours against one of the deadliest enemies this side of the Empire at its height. We'll be on unfamiliar ground with a hastily-devised plan against an enemy that makes it preferable to be killed than captured. All the while following a trail of ryshcate crumbs left be the Kenobi into the Delta Quadrant-described by Admiral Janeway as the 'wildest and most untamed region of the Milky Way Galaxy' if I remember her after-mission report.”

The Twi'lek swallowed and her blue skin flushed a slight purple. “Y-yes, sir,” she stammered out before turning and walking off. Within a few steps, her gait had quickened into a run.

Tycho's right eye twitched. “Stang, Wes. What crawled up your exhaust pipe?”

Wes' nostrils flared. “Tycho... I'm me. I'm Wes Janson, lady's man and biggest fan of the Ewoks back home.” He patted himself on the chest, right next to his rank insignia. “What happens if I get assimilated? What happens if I become a drone?”

Realization dawned on Tycho, Hobbie and Wedge's faces. Hobbie shook his head. “No matter what, you will always be Wes Janson. Nothing they do to you will change that.”

“Until I become Thirteen of Two-hundred,” Wes countered. He turned to Hobbie. “Ever read Picard's briefing on what happened when he was turned into Locutus? I thought becoming a Sith was scary, but all they like to do are tattoos and piercings!”

“And the whole destruction of your soul,” Tycho said, half-smiling. He held up a hand. “The Borg and the Sith. Two sides of the same credit, it seems. Let's just try and avoid both, shall we?”

Wes' face contorted slightly and he cracked a grin. “Yes, let's. Two-for-one deals are rarely true deals, after all.”

Wedge nodded. “Wes is joking once more. All's right with the universe... universes...” He scratched his head. “What does Starfleet call it?”

“An alternate quantum reality,” Hobbie said. He rolled his eyes. “Figures they'd have a standardized term for a different universe.”

Wedge shrugged. “They need it. Could be worse, though. They could have a standardized term for evil. We have that-the Dark Side.”

Please read and review. The next-longer-post will be on the 22nd. Up!

Looks like the hammer's just about ready to fall. I feel a mite ... foul for thinking this, but is there a chance of using some superweapons on the way out to cause a few diversions? Possibly an Omega-based weapon ... wouldn't have to store it, just synthesize it on command inside of a missile of some sort, and the instability would do the rest. Don't blame Wes for being more than a bit down, considering the nature of this threat. And Wedge is right ... having a standardized term for evil ... beyond plain ol' 'Evil', that is, is a mite scary.

Han cares a lot more about the droids here, due to... past circumstances.

I know ... it's still touching to see him do it.

Hi Striker, good to have you back. Hope your trip went well. I've caught up now and I do like your latest 2 chapters. Man, even when she has a whole damn civilization dedicated to her, Queenie sure lays the angst on thick. I think Han would'v gone on the offense more when she suggests that he'd turn his back on any of his kids but then again, the stress of everything might of took the fight out of him.


BTW, I bet Kirk could of easily dropkicked Palpatine into the next century happy .

Plus the H.M.S. Partridge from the Pear Tree planet...

*gazes out at the fleet and feels very tiny and insignificant*



“All ships have arrived, although the Dawnstar reports encountering a temporal anomaly and arriving ten minutes ahead of schedule.”

*can't decide whether or not to be suspicious*



I'm Wes Janson, lady's man and biggest fan of the Ewoks back home.” He patted himself on the chest, right next to his rank insignia. “What happens if I get assimilated? What happens if I become a drone?”

Poor Wes. Don't worry! If you're assimilated, the Borg will be too busy playing with Ewoks to conquer the galaxy! ^_^



“An alternate quantum reality,” Hobbie said. He rolled his eyes. “Figures they'd have a standardized term for a different universe.”

Well, after all... here there be dragons... devil



And good following point, Wedge. plain


Up!
