	There was a lot of tension in the scene! I don't know who to feel for. Jag nodded. "Of course, you've been here for ten minutes. Time to run away again," he said dryly Ouch! that was uncalled for. I have a feeling he said this with out thinking. He dosn't know what she saw. great post! can't wait for more! -----signature----- "The truth is always greater then the words we choose to describe it." http://jediseeker1.deviantart.com/ http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/24991271/p5/?120 Padawan to Aiel The Key http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/27627057/p1/?7

	YK:There will be more characters added soon. Juun and Tarfang for one Somehow I get the feeling that those two are two of your favorite EU characters. I think Luke is a really interesting guess, given what happened in Invincible. What do you mean by RotJ, btw? Just how it seems like Luke goes all in to try and save Vader, but with Ceadus he seemed to be kill Kill KILL in Invincible. Granted he wasn't the only one, but you would think he would know better. The office was nowhere near as large or extravagant as Jaina had somehow expected it to be when the door slid away with a pneumatic hiss, revealing instead an austere chamber of whites and gray. It was clean— obnoxiously tidy, really— and it was grim, and cold. There were no holographs or paintings secured to the alabplast panels, no plush rugs unfurled across the gleaming gunmetal plates of durasteel flooring— nothing soft, or warm, or personal of any kind. Sounds like the Empire to me... Finally, Jag nodded. "I hope that planetary security wasn't too burdensome when you arrived. I tried to rush you through as soon as word reached me, but we have very strict procedures regarding the appearance of unknown space craft in this system." I think I could understand their jitteriness about unknown ships. Last time that happened, Bastion almost got slagged. "A lot has changed since you left... Have you been keeping up with the HoloNet? About Daala and your uncle?" This can mean only one of two things: 1)Trouble is brewing. 2)Daaluke? Lukala? "So," the young leader of the Imperial Remnant began, "Why have you come? I have a feeling it wasn't just to see me." "It's Zekk." It's been two frakking years Jaina! He's not comming back. "I asked you to find him. I was hoping you'd looked." "I did look," Jag said, sitting down behind his desk. "I diverted an entire flotilla to it for seven months. I was hoping to at least find his body for you... We searched every inch of the Maad System and exhausted all possible resources." If that isn't devotion, I don't know what is. "I haven't heard from you in two years— no one has as far as I can tell. Now you suddenly show up here concerned about Zekk? What happened?" "Nothing." CoughLIARcough Sorry, some bug has been going around. If Jaina Solo was even aware it was because she was afraid, she would certainly never admit it. Yep, that sounds like Jaina to me. "I need to get going." Jag nodded. "Of course, you've been here for ten minutes. Time to run away again," he said dryly. "And when she gets there?" Jag drew the small white cylinder from his mouth for a moment, before raising it back to his lips. "Keep following her. I want to know what she's up to." Sounds like a plan to me. -----signature----- "The right to be God...that right is now mine." -Albert Wesker, RE5 "All warfare is based on deception." -Sun Tzu,

	Yeah! Another YodaKenobi fic!! This one has a great start. Jaina at Dagobah... wow. Wobbler is so cute! I think Jag was just a little cold to Jaina, but well she has been exiling herself from everyone! I can't wait for the next post! Oh, and put me on a PM list if possible!! ~SW -----signature----- Proud supporter of: Benella, Kyp OR Jag OR Zekk/Jaina, Mara/Luke, Tahiri/Anakin, Siriwan, Mirax/Kyp, Syal/Valin & Leia/Han Janson/Kettch '08 "I'm armed only with fluency in six million forms of communication!" -C-3P0 in "The Land of the Dead" By YodaKenob

	YodaKenobi posted: Glad to hear it. This works a lot better if you're attached to the characters. I have to agree. YodaKenobi posted: I only introduced this character because I plan on selling Wobbler dolls for $29.95 in the Blood Trail gift shop. Get them while they're hot Again, amazing descriptions. It had to be Zekk. There was no one else... Ah! Jaina! So stubborn. From your description, it looks like Jag could use some saving. "Why won't you let me help you?" If Jaina Solo was even aware it was because she was afraid, she would certainly never admit it. I think I'm going to smack Jaina... although not letting people help isn't exactly a new issue for her. I like Jag sending Cem after her. Definitely leaves things open for an adventure. Also I like to think of it as Jag looking after her. -----signature----- "Hurling black lightning is one thing, but quoting Kyp Durron puts me lower than I ever expected to get."

	zonzo: I IZ THE WINNER! (This is too easy... I didn't even need a PM!) You're on a roll. Way to go Thanks for reading! DARTH_MU: secundus Coolness. FYI, I'm here for Tahiri. Ahh. Well, we'll be seeing her shortly, I promise. Zekk? I thought we were rid of him. Who's to say we're not? Jaina only thinks this must be about him. Thanks for reading! Ant: Third. Will be back later. Thanks for reading Jag4Me: Nooo! She's supposed to want Jag, not Zekk. stamps foot Well, "want" is a pretty loaded word I'm not implying anything romantic between Jaina and Zekk. Zekk being the one that needs help is just the most natural conclusion for Jaina to reach at this point. She may have been carrying some guilt with her when she went to Dagobah having not found any clue of what really happened to him. You threw in quite a twist YK and I can't wait to see where this is going. Hopefully some place good Glad you were surprised. Jag commed Cem and Cem's a she?! Wow. Cem's always been a she, IMO This particular theory I owe to my beta jagsredlady, but I'll wait to explain that when we finally get to see Cem. Cool! Can't wait for more! Thanks and thanks for reading Should have more next week. Jaina_and_Jag: Ooo, nice colors Congrats on winning the contest Awesome post! Thanks! Not exactly what I like to see when J/J interact, but I'm beginning to get used to it. I couldn't see it being any way but cold given where things were left in canon and adding a two year absense for Jaina. You never know though, maybe things will improve (Stupid hardheaded Jaina! He wants to help you, let him help!) Jaina likes to do things herself, I guess. Maybe she's afraid Jag would end up getting hurt? And I don't think it's Zekk! It can't be! (Okay, it can be.... but I still think you're lying! Misdirecting us or something... ) I can't say, but it does seem unlikely I'd tell you who it really is this early in the story. So far, Zekk is only who Jaina assumes Jacen's specter was referring to. And yay Cem! Follow Jaina! haha. She will Loving this picture you're painting. Thanks so much and thanks for reading I'm glad you're enjoying it. iamobiwan: Oh, that was really good. Thank you Jaina is such a mess and her dialogue with Jag was so cold (especially on her side). Yeah, Jaina isn't exactly the most emotionally open person in the galaxy. I think she likes to kind of wear a cold shell around her in these situations to make things easier rather than having to shed it. We'll see what happens... What does she feel happened to Zekk, She thinks he survived somehow and is in need of help. Seems unlikely, but I guess we'll find out eventually. what will she find and what will Cem find as he folows? Cem is a "she" actually. And good questions I love all the questions this raises! Hehe, glad to hear it. Thanks so much for reading and your reply angry_bendu1: I really like this fic! Thank you, I'm glad to hear it. Poor Jaina's been through hell and back, and Jag looks like he's not doing too well, either. Politics, it'd drive me nuts, too... Yeah, I think his new job is wearing him thin and he's unhappy there. And yeah, Jaina is miserable and seems to have a bad stretch ahead of her Hope everything ends well for them! fingers crossed Maybe this will all lead somewhere good... If you have a pm list would you please add me? Sure, thanks for the interest Thanks, and great job! Thank you and thanks for reading! jedi_princess: I never would have guessed Jaina would think it was Zekk.... I still think it might be Anakin. I think you're right to be skeptical. Jaina thinking of Zekk seemed like the most obvious conclusion to me As for Anakin... I'm not ruling it out. And I'm so glad Jag is following her. Someone needs to know what she's up to. And Cem is a she!! Yep, yep, and yep. Jag isn't just going to let her run off again I think he knows she must be in danger and is trying to protect her. Unfortunately I can't really his current position making it easy for him to run off after her himself. As for Cem being a she, we'll get to that later... Thanks for the PM! Thank you for reading and replying corran: You know a guy's devoted to you when he sends a flotilla of ships to search for your former boyfriend for seven months. I was kind of thinking the same thing. Jag's a good guy and I think he would take Jaina's request to find Zekk very seriously. Seems like the skism between them after DN had mended for the most part even if they weren't exactly in the same place they were in the NJO. Jag is one of my favorite EU characters, and you write him the very best. Wow, thanks, that's very kind of you to say So Cem is going to follow Jaina? Yep. I think she'll be full of surprises... Zekk is alive?(Please don't be true!) Well, Jaina assumes this is about Zekk. It does seem unlikely... There are issues between Daala and Luke? Given the undertone of her acceptance speech and her general attitude in Revelation, it seems inevitable that these two will be butting heads. Lots of questions to get answered. Now what is the four toed statue? An ancient relic of the Island's original inhabitants. The same people who built the Temple, the ruins we saw Anthony Cooper tied to, and of course, the Frozen Donkey Wheel Thanks for reading and replying DARTH_MU: Daala and Luke, eh? Daaluke or Lukaala... hm... Almost certainly not what I was suggesting Draconarius: I'm guessing we'll find out just how close Daala and Luke are to killing each other soon. I think you're right. We'll be getting into that in the next few chapters. I loved the Jaina/Jag interaction. Hurts to see them so cold to each other, but it's realistic, considering the messing canon situation. Stupid profic authors. Yeah, it didn't really seem realistic to me to put them in a relationship after Jaina's been gone for 2 years and Jag's heading the Imperial Remnant. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the future. This is certainly not the last we'll see of Jag... Glad you enjoyed the scene. Can't wait for the next one. Should be up on Tuesday. Thanks for reading and replying Sil: zekkie zekkie zekkster all the way! Hehe. You seem to be the only one here excited by the prospect of Zekk's survival Nothing wrong with that though We'll have to wait and see who's right. Thanks so much for reading! Sticks: That was just beautifully written and I loved every word of it. Aww, thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. So deliciously awkward. Yeah. I kind of enjoy writing scenes like that for some reason. I think it's a case where what's not being said is even more important than what is, and it makes my work easier This is shaping up to be one awesome story--can't wait for more! Thank you so much! I hope you like the rest. Thank you for reading and replying GrandMasterKatarn: Oh, how fantastic. You are driving me crazy! Glad the mystery is frustrating you Why Zekk, off all the characters to revive, why him? (Or are you?) Jaina assumes it's Zekk. I'm not saying anything It does seem unlikely that I would give it away this early, but hey, maybe that's the surprise My mind is boggled with the many paths open. My head hurts. Hands you some Tylenol™ Thanks so much for reading and replying... and for putting up with the brain pain Magnuskn: I´m not very surprised at Jainas behaviour, as this is canon Jaina. But does she ever repress, geez. Yeah, she and Jag have a lot of things to sort out, I'm afraid. Too bad you need one week for each chapter, I´m really anxious to find out how the universe continued in your fic. Heh. Honestly, this is a really easy one to write and I could post every day if I just abandoned LotD, but that's not going to happen. Those posts take a lot more time. I smell trouble with Luke and Daalaaaaaa... ( it would be hilarious, of course, if the two hooked up. ). I honestly didn't expect anyone to draw that conclusion. When I look at Jag's mention now, I just start laughing at the idea. Thanks for reading and your reply Bellum: The new chapter !!! Perfectly!!! Thank you! Luke and Daala???? Well, certainly, it reminds Mara a little, but.. Poor Daala! Horror! No, I wasn't implying anything romantic between them. It will be clear what I meant soon. Jag as always it is magnificent. Thanks, glad you liked him. But I on its place would be more resolute. With such as Jaina it is necessary rigidly. I know on myself. It's difficult to say how Jaina would react to that. Cem? How much I remember, so called shadow child of Fel. Really it it? Interestingly... Yep, according to Formbi, she may be the Fel's Shadow Child, as he's never heard of her. Unless it Zekk searches? I thought, that it will be Ben... Or the same Jag... Ben is an interesting guess We'll be seeing him soon. And more Jag as well. YodaKenobi, you Are able to intrigue! I wait for continuation. Thanks so much. There will be more on Tuesday. Thanks for reading and replying too TheOnlyJediPrincess: There was a lot of tension in the scene! I don't know who to feel for. I feel for that poor aide who escorted Jaina in. How awkward for her! Ouch! that was uncalled for. I have a feeling he said this with out thinking. I think you're probably right, though I'm not sure how uncalled for it was. Maybe he was hoping an argument would keep her there I think he was just trying to get to the root of the problem. He dosn't know what she saw. Yeah She didn't seem open to telling him about that for some reason. great post! can't wait for more! Thank you and thanks for reading More will be posted soon. Telanna: " " Thanks for reading Wedge: Somehow I get the feeling that those two are two of your favorite EU characters. Yeah, they are. I'm not sure how that happened, but they are Just how it seems like Luke goes all in to try and save Vader, but with Ceadus he seemed to be kill Kill KILL in Invincible. Granted he wasn't the only one, but you would think he would know better. Oh yeah, chilling isn't it? I really wanted to see someone pull a Luke and put their life on the line to save Jacen. Even if they failed, seems like someone should have tried. Sounds like the Empire to me... Right you are... well, the Remnant anyway. I think I could understand their jitteriness about unknown ships. Last time that happened, Bastion almost got slagged. Great point I see Bastion as having very heavy security. Seeing TIE fighters and soldiers on the streets is just a daily occurance for the people living there. Definitely a militaristic society. This can mean only one of two things: 1)Trouble is brewing. Seems extremely likely. 2)Daaluke? Lukala? As I said earlier, I really never saw anyone drawing that conclusion when I wrote it It's been two frakking years Jaina! He's not comming back. Hey, I thought the same thing about Daala... and Sintas, but look how that turned out If that isn't devotion, I don't know what is. I agree. I didn't get into it because I couldn't see Jag saying it, but can you imagine the enormous political pressure he must have been under for devoting that many resources to searching for one person who wasn't even an Imperial? There must have been people calling for Jag's head. CoughLIARcough Sorry, some bug has been going around. Oh no, the Liar cough is back I didn't even realize it was that time of the year. Yep, that sounds like Jaina to me. I think it all started with Annie Captson (sp?). Clone_Cmdr_Wedge posted: "I need to get going." Jag nodded. "Of course, you've been here for ten minutes. Time to run away again," he said dryly. Sounds like a plan to me. I agree. Jag's making a very wise decision here. Jaina may be getting in over her head here and need a hand. Thanks for reading and replying SilverWolf77: Yeah! Another YodaKenobi fic!! Hehe, I'm glad you're so excited This one has a great start. Jaina at Dagobah... wow. Wobbler is so cute! Thanks, I think Wobbler will be a fun character. Glad you're enjoying the story so far. I think Jag was just a little cold to Jaina, but well she has been exiling herself from everyone! They were both pretty cold. I think there's a lot of hurt feelings between them and Jag is totally bewildered by her suddenly showing up and asking about Zekk. I can't wait for the next post! Oh, and put me on a PM list if possible!! Will do Thanks so much for reading and replying! Solo_and_Fel: Again, amazing descriptions. Thank you Ah! Jaina! So stubborn. From your description, it looks like Jag could use some saving. I think that may be a common theme as we see everyone else and get a sense of the state of the galaxy in the two years since Jaina left, but I won't say any more... I think I'm going to smack Jaina... although not letting people help isn't exactly a new issue for her. Yeah. I'm sure in her mind she's protecting Jag. Everyone close to her seems to get hurt. I like Jag sending Cem after her. Definitely leaves things open for an adventure. Also I like to think of it as Jag looking after her. That's what I think it is too. He thinks she's in danger and doesn't even think her ship will make it where she's going so he's trying to protect her as best he can when she won't let him.

	Long time lurker coming out of the black void ==================> Ive been enjoying the new story just finished chapter 2 after reading (takes deep breath) revolution and the rest of your vong saga + empire of the hand and just finished exodus and the first one its nice to be nearly upto date with a fic though its taken me about 8 months to get their!, im saving the land of the dead for a rainy day, I stumbled on your fics after searching though the fan fiction section for some anakin related goodness, really enjoyed all the previous stories, almost sad to catch up and not be able to read the next chapter straight away! After been a little disapointed with legacy im interested to see where you take this series, you really make jaina come alive and live up to her name the sword of the jedi, which she hasn't in the normal EU apart from maybe the last 2 books of legacy of the force, and im excited to see your spin of tahiri after she became a sith hussy (recalls disturbing memories of her trying to seduce ben) , and to see what ben is like now hes what 16/17?

	You're the only one who knows if Jaina hugged him or not. I clipped the answer off when I posted it cause I thought it made a better ending not knowing The office was nowhere near as large or extravagant as Jaina had somehow expected it to be when the door slid away with a pneumatic hiss, revealing instead an austere chamber of whites and gray. It was clean— obnoxiously tidy, really— and it was grim, and cold. There were no holographs or paintings secured to the alabplast panels, no plush rugs unfurled across the gleaming gunmetal plates of durasteel flooring— nothing soft, or warm, or personal of any kind. Grim? Cold? Seriously, it’s obvious that Jag finds no pleasure in his unsolicited lofty new position. Great job showing that, Master Yobi. "So," the young leader of the Imperial Remnant began, "Why have you come? I have a feeling it wasn't just to see me." "It's Zekk." "Oh..." Jag's gaze averted hers with a few rapid blinks, before he began to pace around his desk. Gah!! I want to bang their heads together. Jag nodded. "Of course, you've been here for ten minutes. Time to run away again," he said dryly. shakes head Jaina was surprised by how sharp his tone was and how much it stung. She knew that there was a lot of hurt there, the way she'd left things... "I'm sorry... I wouldn't have come if it wasn't important." "I know." This is so frustrating. At least she said “I know” That’s practically a commitment in the Solo language. "Cem?" There was a slight pause before a female voice laced with static crackled over the comm. "Yes, sir?" I can’t wait for more! Tuesday, get here already. -----signature----- Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~ Mark Twain "He's not that good." ~ Jag Puh-leeze, she's not in his league.....

	corran: Now just who is this ancient civilization? My guess would be the Richard Others, but Widmore was probably involved too. Maybe. He seems to claim ownership of the Island, but maybe he was involved in Dharma? We know from Bad Twin there is a Widemore/Hanso connection. I think the civilization is the Hostiles, yeah. Personally, the one I think she has to save is Ben. Just becasue he's the beginning of the next generation. I think that's a really interesting guess. We'll be seeing Ben in a few weeks. TSF: Ohhhh, poor Jaggie! I think he needs a hug. You might get trampled in the mob of girls rushing to do the same thing when you make a suggestion like that But yeah, I don't think Jag likes his new life much. Jaina showing up isn't helping Well, I'm very interested to find out why you think Cem is a female. It's actually canon: Red Sky, Blue Flame posted: "There were two waves of attack," continued Stent. "The first came from Jedi spies. The facility was destroyed. We salvaged what we could before other ships arrived, forcing a tactical retreat. It is possible that some records remained behind. If the security locks were breached, it is possible that the location of this academy has been compromised." Jag kept his eyes straight ahead, but he felt the other cadets' red-eyed glare and the sudden, answering heat in his face. The academy's location was not entered into the data banks. No human but Baron Fel knew of its location, and this information had been given him grudgingly and with a cost--the safety of his only living son. Baron Fel understood that betraying the location of this academy would also mean endangering his son. Jag knew his father would not betray him. Still, here was Stent, preparing the academy for an attack. Stent reported to General Baron Fel. Why would he come, unless the New Republic had learned the location of the academy? This is Jag thinking, so there's no reason for him to lie to himself. For Cem to be a male, Jag would have to unaware of the existence of his brother, which doesn't make a lot of sense since Wyn is well aware of Cem, and it doesn't sound like the Fels are locking Cem in a dungeon or something when Wyn says Cem is "always taking out" the Starflare. (It's worth noting that Chak would have been alive during RSBF, but I guess Zahn didn't let Jag know about that... Anyway, this can be retconned as Jag simply believing Chak had died in battle for some reason. There might be some wiggle room here too if RSBF happens after SQ, which seems to be Sue's position now, as I don't think there's anything concrete that says Chak was alive during the YV war.) In The Joiner King, Formbi simply says that "Cem" is a son's name. Personally, if Cem really is a "Shadow Child", it makes a lot of sense to give a girl a male name to make her harder to identify. We'll get more into this later in the fic though... Thanks so much for reading and replying And thanks to jagsredlady for hunting down that RSBF quote for me I couldn't find it. Cyn: Well, looky here. You made Cem a girl. Nice. See above There's way more evidence Cem is a girl than a boy. And she's looking for Zekk? Or just thinks she is and she's going to find someone else? Yep Zekk is the person that comes to mind for Jaina, having never found him. We'll have to wait and see if she's right and he's still alive and needing help. Gah! Sorry Loving this one Wes! Thanks for reading and replying damienraw: Long time lurker coming out of the black void ================
