	In case anyone's missed the report on the TF.N main site: TheForce.Net posted: To mark the release of Betrayal, the starwars_eu LiveJournal community is sponsoring an IRC chat on Holonet.org this Tuesday night. This is live, free, and open to absolutely everyone. The purpose: to discuss the book with your fellow fans, in real time. Nothing more, nothing less. That's this Tuesday, 30th May, starting at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific, Midnight UTC, and 1am British Summer Time. It's on irc.holonet.org, channel #eu, and if IRC sounds a little intimidating, you can use Holonet's own straightforward web-based chat client, which I'm told works best on the Firefox browser. See you there! - The Imperial Ewok -----signature----- A/T = OTP :===8[#]8===: Kyp/Jaina fans: stand up and be counted!

	-->\| Aaron (allston@holonet-3C19F3CE.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #eu <Aaron> Howdy, Dunc. <Rohniss> and is that the man of the Hour? <Dunc> Hey. <Aaron> Yep, here to absorb brickbats or whatever for a few minutes. <g> <McEwok> Aaron! <Rohniss> throws Brick at AA <Trip> Hey hey! Good to see you. <Dunc> Everyone has been very well behaved. <Aaron> Howdy, McEwok. <Aaron> Howdy, all. * McEwok faints <McEwok> Great book. Thank you. <Dunc> We haven't even insulted KJA or Hambly. I think you're safe. <Rohniss> ja agreed with McE good book <Aaron> Thanks, McEwok. Glad you liked it. <Rohniss> ofcourse I liked all your other stuff as well so.. \|<-- DarthPerch has left irc.holonet.org (Client exited) <Aaron> Rohniss: Heh. <Dunc> Aaron, I laughed for about 10 minutes at the tropical shirt. <Dunc> And the bit Jacen said about folks who claim to be more powerful than Luke... <Aaron> Dunc: Cool. Obviously a shot at myself, since I'm a big fan of Hawaiian shirts. <Trip> Aaron, I'm a pain in the ass when it comes to books, and I was very, very impressed by Betrayal. Excellent kick off to LotF. <Trip> Thanks for such an awesome book. <Aaron> Trip: Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. <McEwok> Something we were just discussing: when Dark Jacen shows up, Luke seems to be sleeping or meditating in the corridor outside his quarters...? <Suzuki_Akira> Hold up <Suzuki_Akira> is this THE Aaron? <Suzuki_Akira> Like, the Aaron that matters? <Dunc> Yes. <Dunc> Scout's honor. -->\| RogueOne (irc@holonet-3B3D2842.org) has joined #eu <Suzuki_Akira> Excellent. <Rohniss> ja thats the one... the dude Stackpole hangs with.. Wraith Squadron <Suzuki_Akira> I have now officially met a famous person. <Suzuki_Akira> ...Sorta. <Dunc> on IRC. <Suzuki_Akira> Close enough for me! <Aaron> McEwok: Not exactly. The way I wrote that scene, he was awakened by a premonition or something, and went out into the corridor so as not to awaken Mara. Is that part of the scene not there any more? <McEwok> Oh, right - ten pages earlier. Found it now. <Aaron> I was alternating Luke stuff with Jacen stuff, so the waking-up piece would probably have preceded some Jacen material. <McEwok> Sorry - and thanks. <Dunc> 332, Ewok <Suzuki_Akira> Dunc> And the bit Jacen said about folks who claim to be more powerful than Luke... <Aaron> No problem. I'm glad I actually remembered. It's been seven months or so since I read it. <g> <Suzuki_Akira> What was that, Dunc, sir? <Dunc> Where Luke wakes up <Dunc> early on... <Aaron> Yes, there were parts of the novel where I was feeling playful. Like Aayla Secura fan fic. I couldn't manasge to maintain a tragic atmosphere _all_ the way through. <Aaron> Er, manage. <Trip> I think you balanced the two pretty well, myself. <Rohniss> theres nothing wrong with Aayla fics <Trip> The Aalya part made me snicker. <Aaron> Thanks, Trip. <McEwok> Worked for me. <Rohniss> i swear they kick me when im down already <Suzuki_Akira> Aayla....straight comedy. <Aaron> Anyway, I have a few minutes before I must run off and have lunch, so if anyone has any questions, fire away, and then I'll flee. <g> <Suzuki_Akira> Lunch? <Trip> Hmm... was Lumiya lying to Jacen? ; P <Aaron> Akira: Well, it'll be my second meal of the day, therefore lunch. <Suzuki_Akira> Must be in Australia or something. <Suzuki_Akira> Ooh, that's Luke-style logic. I like it. <McEwok> Hawaii. You can tell by the shirt. <Aaron> Trip: Some yes, some no. But that's one I can't really answer here, lest it spoil future books. <Trip> Yeah, I know. Buy I can try! <Rohniss> Vergere = Sith? <Rohniss> was that the mystery that was going to be revealed? <McEwok> To set my mind at rest, can you confirm that that was Lumiya who pushed the Kuat security chief out the airlock? <Aaron> Rohniss: That's harder to answer, and I _know_ the answer. If she's a non-human species and handles both logic and Force influences differently, even if she _is_ Sith, she won't be the same _kind_ of Sith as, say, Palpatine. Let's just say for now that she's learned some Sith lore. \|<-- RogueOne has left irc.holonet.org (CGI:IRC) -->\| RogueOne (irc@holonet-3B3D2842.org) has joined #eu <Aaron> McEwok: Yep, it was Lumiya at Toryaz Station. <Rohniss> so You considered her entry in the RPG? with the Read/Write/Speak Sith skill? <Trip> Do you have anything in your notes about the Galactic-class Battle Carrier or other new ships? <Suzuki_Akira> Jacen's visions of the future - is there special significance to the fact that he sees multiple futures, whereas most others we've seen prophesy(Luke, Mother Rell, Ikrit) have seen single ones? Does he really have the grasp of all possibilities? <Aaron> Rohniss: No, I haven't really messed with character sheets and such. (Ironic, since I spent so many years making my living with RPGs.) Consider her "stats" to be a little fast and loose for now. <Aaron> Trip: Not really, not at this time. Maybe I'll be able to elaborate on them later. <Rohniss> I was asking because I was reading your WIPs on your website today <Trip> Thanks. Just curious-- I'm a big fan of capships and whatnot. <Aaron> Akira: He sees more because of the complexity and intricacy of his training, but no, he couldn't possibly see _all_ possible futures. -->\| master_skywalker20 (irc@holonet-3B3D2842.org) has joined #eu <Suzuki_Akira> Which throws off his reasoning a tad bit... <Aaron> Akira: Yes. At this point, overconfidence is his tragic flaw. <Aaron> So few questions... I obviously caught you all unprepared. <g> <Rohniss> Was there a deliberate parallel with HIM Palpatine and Lumiya in her speech to jacen about Peace through the dominion of the Sith <Suzuki_Akira> I'll definetely think about that when I go through the book. <Trip> Can you confirm whether or not Vectivus actually existed in some form? Also, what's the origin of his name? <McEwok> hmm? <Trip> Heh, I sure wasn't expecting you to show up. : ) <Trip> I'm asking for Wiki purposes. <Aaron> Rohniss: Yes, there was a deliberate parallel there. Whether the deliberateness was on my part or Lumiya's, though, I'll keep a secret for now. <Aaron> Trip: No, I really can't at this time. As for his name, of course, most (but not all) Darth names are variations of some word related to some unpleasant thing, and in the case of Vectivus, it's "invective." * Suzuki_Akira heads to webster <Aaron> Akira: Cursing, basically. <Dunc> Ha! <Suzuki_Akira> True. But for us conspiracy rats, we have to make every possible obscure connection. <Trip> Cool choice. <Aaron> People who are proficient at cursing having been known as "masters of invective," at least when I was young. <Rohniss> Aaron.. is What is major and inflammatory thats going to happen going to deal with a major character death? <Suzuki_Akira> Jacen's a potty mouth. <Aaron> Rohniss: On Lost, or on Designing Women? Oh, you mean LotR. Can't say. <g> <Aaron> Er, LotF. Fingers flew awry. <Rohniss> you wrote LotR... your older ythan I though * Dunc keeps her remarks to herself. <Rohniss> cursed now im typoing <Aaron> Since when, Dunc? <Dunc> Just this once. <Rohniss> ohh I got one <Rohniss> Donoslane <Rohniss> Myn Donos/Kirney Slane right? <Aaron> Rohniss: Absolutely correct. <Suzuki_Akira> Is the whole Anibot deal something that was planned from the NJO, or did you think of it while planning this series? <Aaron> Which is kind of cute, since Kell's son was part of that raiding party, and HE didn't make the connection. <Dunc> Okay, this keeps coming up, where in the book IS it? <master_skywalker20> did the dark energy in the astroid effect Jacens visions...or where those accurate <Aaron> Akira: No, that was mine. <Aaron> MS20: The energies themselves may not have affected his visions, but Lumiya might have... <Aaron> Dunc: Where is what? <Rohniss> which in short is im not telling you <Dunc> This Donoslane thing. <Aaron> Dunc: When the Jedi teams are trying to get off Corellia, and their retrieval shuttle has been destroyed, they steal one from an excursion company called Donoslane. <Rohniss> Ok, question... will we be seeing Korriban in any of your work... <Rohniss> its a small spoiler I know but just a tiny one.. <Dunc> Ahh. <Aaron> Rohniss: I don't have any plans myself for Korriban at this time, but I haven't even begun outlining my third book yet. <Trip> Here's another you may not be able to answer (sorry about this!): is the system where the secret Corellian fleet is being built in the Corellian sector? -->\| nanner (irc@holonet-3B3D2842.org) has joined #eu -->\| VicPez (irc@holonet-3B3D2842.org) has joined #eu <Rohniss> curses <Rohniss> I love the ancient sith <Aaron> Trip: I can't say, but you will be learning a lot more about that in the not-too-distant future. <Aaron> Oops, I'm being told that food is ready, so I must head out. Nice micro-chatting with y'all... <McEwok> Bye! <Rohniss> Bye <Trip> Thanks alot for stopping by! <Rohniss> remember Rohniss is a great name <Rohniss> for a character <Dunc> Night Aaron. \|<-- Aaron has left irc.holonet.org (Leaving) -----signature----- Rammer Jammer Yellowhammers, Give 'Em Hell, Alabama TF.N's resident Gun Nut Mejor morir a pie que vivir a rodillas.
