	I LOVE this story!! I don't think I've ever responded (sorry..), but I was so excited to see another chapter! The inner conflict and the sheer imagination and creativity in this story are awesome. I'll have to come back with more in-depth comments another time, but I just wanted to throw it out there that I simply adore this fic, thank you sooo much for updating, I can't wait to see what happens next -----signature----- "Did you ever think that you might be the one who's saving me?" --Kyp Durron

	Ok, I stumbled onto this and just did a small marathon reading. Dana hats off to you again, you never cease to stun me with your stories. It was nice to come back to the boards and find a story that has been going for so long that I had not found. Let me know when you have more please? -----signature----- Beta to Darth_Intangable "Never tell me the odds." Han Solo J/Z; K/J; T/J; T/R; T/A; J/TK; D/Z; these are my fandoms

	So here are some brief comments for the chapters up so far - since I couldn't remember what was really going on in the story after this last post (and because this is such an awesome fic) I went back and re-read it! chapter 1 Nice set up, I felt like I was given a lot of background information without it being force fed to me, you know? Also, Leia lost her legs, sad! And Luke died?? I assume Jacen's dead, too, or else so far away that no one finds it odd that the council automatically knows which brother they're talking about... I guess he wasn't there to help Leia on Duro? (Although, I might be remembering things wrong). But, yay, Anakin's alive!! Great start! chapter 2 "You think he's compensating for anything?" Anakin asked laconically. hahaha... maybe.. maybe not... It's so interesting reading a story where the Sith aren't automatically aligned with the Empire - and even more interesting that the Republic wants him on their side! hmm. chapter 3 Okay, I'm not the biggest fan of Jag, but that seemed a little harsh, ouch! I guess Rache IS a sith, so it makes sense that he should go all out when punishing Jag, but still! Who killed Luke/who trained Kyp?? I wonder... Aha! The apprentice who seems familiar to Jaina and Anakin.. Jaina's "lost twin".. Also, I really like the way you write Anakin - he has just the right touch of humor, but still insightful - love it! chapter 4 "Mom isn't here," his sister said. "And if anyone knows the necessity of drastic measures, it would be her." - this reminded me of Prince Xizor in Shadows of the Empire! Ah... Exar Kun, duh. And Han's dead, no!! I find it weird that Jacen doesn't seem to have any emotion on seeing his brother and sister for the first time in who knows how long. Probably typical Sith, though, hm. And then she would kill him. uh-oh... no, there's still good in him, I can feel it! chapter 5 Just wondering (and you may have already said this) but how do you pronounce Rache? I keep saying it differently in my mind, but am not sure which one is right.. thanks! So, Kyp/Rache is going to be trying to seduce Jaina to the darkside while Jaina is trying to turn him back to the light.. this will be interesting. "You cheated!" she exclaimed. "Duh." hahahaha... Kyp winking is sooo cheating! chapter 6 ooh, I really liked this chapter! I started to actually feel for Kyp, and how he "didn't choose" the life that he now leads. However, Jaina's right, he may just be manipulating her to get his way. But he's starting to question himself, which may lead to an inner conflict... maybe there IS still good in him? I hope so! chapter 7 Oh no! What happened to Tahiri?? Anakin's dream - Kyp and Jaina vs. Mara? Have I mentioned yet how sad I am about Mara being the Empress? I wonder when that happened.. I liked Leia's point of view, but it was so sad! It seems like she's lost so much, as well as having the added stress of taking up Luke's mantle and becoming a Jedi master. chapter 8 Get close to him, learn his secrets. Use him to bring down Mara Jade, and then kill him. Somehow, during that, redeem Jacen. - That's a lot to ask of herself - I hope Jaina isn't getting in over her head here, the last thing the galaxy needs is another Solo falling to the dark side. I feel for Jaina in this - I can't figure out if I should feel sorry for Kyp for having his life manipulated by Exar Kun, or be mad that he let it take control of destiny and allowed it to create him into an evil person. chapter 9 "...I'm not out for galactic domination. I'm out for the complete and total destruction of the Empire, from its head to its very roots." An answer to my question from chapter 2! But I wonder if Jacen/Reiniger feels the same way... "Do you have a fetish or something?" she asked. hahahaha.... um, yes, he does! Kyp and Mara, ack! chapter 10 aw, I love Pellaeon! I also really enjoyed Jaina smashing Kyp/Rache's foot under her dress, so in character. A feeling somewhat like remorse crawled up from the depths of his dark soul - oh, Kyp, I know you're in there somewhere! He still wears the cape that Han gave him, that MUST be a good sign, right?? chapter 11 I'm glad Jaina has a friend, though knowing what happens to her in the last chapter, it's sad... also sad is Jacen! He definitely seems more sith than Rache, but like Jaina noted, Reiniger may just not bother to hide his darkness from the world. ugh, Rache is so confident, but he's definitely going to have a really hard time convincing Jaina to turn her back on the Jedi. chapter 12 She turned her eyes to the ceiling. "Fine. Whatever. Next, I get some of this chocolate thing whenever I want." He snickered. "If I'd known chocolate was the key-" I loved the banter! chapter 13 Nice job reminding us (and Jaina) of what an evil sith Kyp is. And Jacen! I get the feeling that he really doesn't care about Jaina at all. Ooh, and Kyp should totally just set Anakin loose on Centerpoint, then he wouldn't have to worry about it falling into Mara's hands. I wonder if it bonded to someone else, since Anakin wasn't there to use it during the Centerpoint Crisis? chapter 14 She gave in!!! And I really like the inclusion of the title in this one - it makes so much sense in context, and it made me happy chapter 15 Poor Ailana! And I wonder if it really was the captain - maybe she was framed by the Empress, eh? The conflict within Jaina and Kyp is nicely done, love it! Once again, fantastic fic, I can't wait for the next update!! -----signature----- "Did you ever think that you might be the one who's saving me?" --Kyp Durron

	I just got caught up on this. Great story. Always did like K/J pairings. I am wondering if this is Jacen that did this. The captain seems too convenient and he gave the information to quickly. I am wondering if it is because Rache is giving Jaina all the attention. Looking forward to more. Can I also get on the PM list and get the chapter that wasn't posted here. Thanks.

	I'm so glad to see this updated! I like that Rache moved her into his room. That should be fun to watch. Great Chapter! And would you add me to the PM list?

	Oh how much I love this dark Kyp. [Sigh] -----signature----- Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.
