	JadedofMara: Nah, I won't take THAT long between posts. And there's a little bit that I wrote in advance so there's no 'drought' for the coming week(s). In the meantime, I'm expanding it. But the process is slow, I don't like to rush the story along. Mistakes can creep in and such. Thank god for beta's. And yes, it's AU. I started writing after Jag was introduced in RUIN and found the ending from BP more fun to put together with him and start from there. Freya: First of all, thanks for joing in. Second...I'm working on it. Maybe Mondaynight. Third...hmm..still no reload button. -----signature----- Finished after 3.5 years: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4294352&page=1

	Good second post, Eldritch! You have a good handle on Jaina's character, like how she normally doesn't wear make-up. -----signature----- http://rebelshaven.com/SWFFAQ My site dedicated to the amazing costumes of Padme and her handmaidens!

	Okidoki...here's another chapter. Pretty long too, I think, so that should keep you busy for a while. Sticks: Welcome. *********** --==CHAPTER 3 - "Father and Son"==-- Jag entered the system without encountering any more problems. He approached the planet that he had called home for as long as he lived. His comm unit crackled and a sophisticated voice sounded in his ears. “Approaching fighter. We have you on our scanners. Destination?” He gave them the proper codes and corrected his approached when asked. “Continue along your current trajectory and follow the beacons in. We have reserved docking platform three, slot six for you. Control out.” He continued the approach and drove into the atmosphere of the lush planet. He broke through the clouds and continued the straight flightpath that brought him to an area just outside the city on his left. He noticed that the landing site was right next to the emergency equipment hangar. He saw several tiny figures near the building, watching his approach. He came to a stop above the designated spot and hovered. Slowly he let the fighters descend and touched down without so much as a bump. Immediately the people approached the fighter and waited for him to climb out. 4 blue-skinned Chiss stood at attention as he hopped down. He straightened his body and returned it. Then one of them stepped out of the line and took 1 step before the others. Jag approached him. “Sir. Your father would like to see you at once. Please follow.” The alien turned sharply, as did the rest. Jag adjusted his step to theirs and they quickly took him to the Command Center, situated to the side of the Control Tower. They entered the building. Even after all these years, Jag marveled at the structure. In the middle was a huge Operations-Center which could be observed unobstructed from every angle due to the floor-to-ceiling glass. In a circle around it were the offices, spaced every 15 meters. The whole building had been constructed like an arena and was dimly lit. He was taken to one of the offices where they waited in front of the double doors. A moment later the doors parted and he stepped through, leaving his companions behind him. His father was seated in a command chair behind a huge desk, which seemed oddly out of place. Jag stepped right up to the desk and saluted. His father stood and returned it. Then he motioned to a chair in front of the desk. “Sit.” Jag sat down and kept his eyes on his fathers face. He studied it for a moment. It was expressionless, save for the black patch over his right eye. It seemed that his hair and goatee had grayed a little more during his absence. He waited until spoken to, which wasn’t a long wait. “You caused quite a stir when your squadron showed up without its leader. Report.” Jag should have guessed. No familiarity, no emotion. Not even an inquiry about his well-being. He gave his report in the same cold style that his father had used towards him. “In all fairness to Admiral Pellaeon, he did lend me tools and equipment to go on my way and bring this news to you. He asked me to give his regards to you”, he finished. That last actually brought a slight smile to his fathers face. “I bet that good old Gilad was just waiting to get his hands on one of our fighters. I trust that no one has been able get inside?” “None.” “Good. Anything else?” “Yes, Sir, there is. Just before I left, Admiral Pellaeon personally came down to bring me the most disturbing news. It appears that the Yuuzhan Vong are offering a truce on the condition that each and every Jedi is brought to them. Alive or otherwise.” Surprise crept onto his fathers face after hearing that news. I can still surprise you if I must, father. “Have they, now. How interesting. And how did the New Republic respond to this….’truce’?” “Unknown. Permission to speak freely, Sir?” His father nodded, absentmindedly stroking his goatee. “Sir…father, we already know that the Empire is next to none existing. Only a couple of systems, maybe a thousand worlds. We gain nothing by befriending them. They would just take away the research and weaponry we have gathered. But if we could obtain the goodwill of the New Republic, that would open up a whole new era for us. One of wealth and prosperity, not to mention their military might. We have several enemies here in the Unknown Regions, against whom we could use a good ally. We also have the Empire to consider as a serious threat. They are close to our borders and already Admiral Pellaeon is using several systems as a test-bed for his weapons. Uninhabited systems so far, but it is only a matter of time before they discover our homeworld. When they show up with a force and we are here, side by side with New Republic warships, they would have to think twice for attacking us and destroying our way of life.” Jag knew that he was walking dangerous grounds, proposing peace with the New Republic. Close to treason, even. His father regarded him for a moment. Then he stood and walked to a holographic map of the galaxy with sectors of the New Republic, the Empire and other known regions colored in shades of blue, red, yellow and green. It occupied most of the wall behind Jag. He looked at it for a moment, and then turned around. “And how do you suppose we could obtain their goodwill? By offering a few squadrons? Maybe a few warships? Don’t be absurd! They would appreciate it, surely, but not enough to offer anything of value like a treaty that would open up trade and ease our lives. They certainly wouldn’t give us protection when we need it.” “Perhaps they will. If we would offer the Jedi sanctuary, a place to hide for the Yuuzhan Vong. We have enough habitable worlds to offer. That would certainly befriend us with the Jedi, if they accept. Also, Councilor Organa Solo is a Jedi and has enough political power left to get higher up in the chain of command. Three of her children are Jedi and her brother founded a Jedi Academy on the planet Yavin. If we would offer them sanctuary, it would gain us considerable leverage to the New Republic Ruling Council. Many of her closest personal friends have been instrumental in the downfall of the Empire. Mara Jade is her sister-in-law, for example.” “Hmmm…is she now? How interesting. I can see the reasoning behind all this. Save one of the most powerful families in the galaxy and we gain their support to submit our case to the Senate. Very clever.” “No father. We will submit our case to the Senate ourselves. Use the Jedi as leverage, yes. Use them as bait, no. We’re not starting another war, we are trying to end one. In the end, everybody gains, no one loses.” His father turned to him and looked at him as if he had said something utterly impossible. “Has it been that long, Father? Has it been that long that you have forgotten what it was like to travel the galaxy freely? How long has it been since you have seen any family? And mother, how long has it been for her? She hasn’t seen her brother in ages. He is married now, did you know that? He’s out of service and settled down. He has children, one named after Mother. She cried when I told her that.” For the first time in his life, Jag saw his father change into an ordinary man. His shoulders sagged a little and he averted his eyes from his gaze. It took a long time before he finally spoke. When he did, Jag had to strain his ears to hear him. “I shall bring this information and your suggestions before the Chiss High Command. They will decide.” He then walked over to the desk and sat down. He spun the chairs back towards the room and looked out the window. Jag took a step towards the desk and wanted to say something but halted. He shut his mouth and turned towards the door. When the doors parted, his father cleared his throat and he stopped in mid-stride. “Go to the house. Your mother is worried about you.” Jag kept silent, waiting for more. When none came he walked out. *********** Now, if that's not going to give me a reload button, I dunno what will! -----signature----- Finished after 3.5 years: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4294352&page=1

	Wow...that was great! I like the tension between jag and Fel...it seems like Fel only ever knew how to be a sqadron commander, not a father. Interesting that the idea about peace is coming from Jag...posting more will keep this wonderful fic off the fifth page! -----signature----- "Is every third human in this galaxy named Solo?"-Khalee Lah "As for anything specific I wasn't allowed to do . . . let's just say Kyp Durron is a very lucky man."-TROY DENNING

	JoM: The fifth!! I'm shocked. Seriously, I have no idea what the best time is to post, so as much people get to read it, so it's not surprising that it slips to the fith or more page. I need to develop my own readerbase for the story to remain in the first 3 pages. It'll come, over time. And if not, well...I'm still enjoying the writing. You know what's funny? I can still edit the first message, eventhough I started posting 3 days ago....strange. -----signature----- Finished after 3.5 years: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4294352&page=1

	up. this is going well, hopefully the writing won't deteriorate. I like the(somewhat) paralell storylines. Is there a possibility that Fel will be back with the Rogues? The core 6 (7?)should be back in action together again. up... post whenever you have more story written. -----signature----- "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others."
