Poof has a love-hate relationship with the Saga. On the one hand, it’s where he has his shinning moments as a Jedi Knight on the Jedi Council. On the other hand, he dies during the Saga era, and that wasn’t much fun at all.

DarthIshtar:

I like Hal's insights and Corran being so comfortable with the Force. Thank you, he's definitely growing in it. happy

jade51999:

oooh I saw your reply in my thread and KNEW there had to be a new post somewhere..hooray! Heehhehe, guess I can't be very sneaky. wink

HAHA Shielding *snorts*...and this mission..and Hal is having feelings...uh oh... *looks innocent*

Nice addition, I like how Corran could sense his worry immediately thank you happy

RedGold:

Yet another good Chapter... Thank you happy

But why do I sense danger ahead? I can't imagine. *whistles*

GreatOne:

Just letting you know I'm still reading. Thank you happy

It's a good thing the Rebels are getting so many Jedi in their ranks, because that will come in handy. Definitely, with what's to come...I mean...

hollynkesten:

keep up the good work, ill ttyl, in skewl now Thanks woman happy

AvenKiel:

You're doing a great job! I'm really impressed with how you're writing is so in tune with Hal's and Corran's characters! More soon please? *flushes* Thiank you, really glad you like their characterizations. happy And hopefully!

_JM_:

Not sure if Hal is placing the blame entirely correctly, wasn’t Lord Vader’s fault that the truth hurt Luke even more than his lightsaber. Very true, his thoughts are somewhat one sided. happy

However Luke had learned of the truth it would still have instilled distrust of those who had manipulated the facts. It's true, sometimes honesty up front is good, but it's a tough call in this case.

Liked Hal’s contempt for Vader. Thank you grin Tis the Daddy in him.

Loved Corran’s reaction to the idea of his Dad being able to ‘listen’ to what he was feeling, and Hal’s calm pointing out that he certainly didn’t want to hear his son all the time. Hehehhe can't blame either of them grin

Poor Hal though, he was worried for Corran and forgot in his concern that it would work both ways and that Corran would be able to ‘hear’ his father’s concern. Exactly...he's forgotten a bit how strong it can be, me thinks.

Hopefully Luke will be able to see Hal as “Corran’s Dad” and therefore “nice guy” rather than as “Jedi” and therefore “lying manipulator” so that Hal can help Luke through things a little, assuming that is that Hal gets the chance. Quite possibly wink

Arcalian:

I'm kinda surprised that, since he knows who Vader really is, he didn't figure out what was wrong, exactly, with Luke....but I'm sure he'll find out eventually. He's avoiding drawing that conclusion until he actually has some facts, and I think he's dreading it right now...but he will eventually learn...if Lukie's willing to say anything...

X-wing action coming soon? Cool! Well maybe mentioning of it...Hal's no pilot, and Corran's the one going away. happy But kind of psuedoaction I guess! In fact a hint of it next...kind of...

Cypher18:

I just found this story and I gotta say its pretty good. Heres hoping for more soon. Thank you, glad to have you on board! happy

RebelMom:

I wouldn't want my parent to hear all my deepest thoughts either. I do think Corran was more worried than Hal. He probably has more to hide. wink

NYCitygurl:

Awesome post!!! Thank you happy

SweetPea:

*snicker snicker* Hehehhee poor Corran wink

I hope Luke can trust Hal even though he isn't feeling too kindly towards Jedi right now...I mean, who can resist Hal?? lol! Indeed!

Still loving this. Keep up the awesome work Thank you :-D :-D

Arin_Atona:

: Corran coughed. "There's some things I'd rather you not know.

Imagine that.
Surprising, isn't it? wink

: "Good," Corran said, looking so relieved I wondered if I should be a little more worried about his budding relationship with Mirax.

Oh, sure... Hal just naturally thinks Corran's wanting privacy has something to do with a woman. I've no clue why he would think that.
Would it be Corran's rep with women? wink

Miana Kenobi:

Hehehe... I wish my dad was as cool as Hal... Hehhe awwww wink


Excellent job, Luney! Thanks grin

Jaya Solo:

Woohoo! Awesome post! I'm glad they're getting stronger. Poor Lukie. Thanks! Yeah, poor Lukie...

Here's more!


***

Jedi rarely dream, and when we do it is usually either manifestations of the future, our greatest fears, or messages from a Seer. Because of the rarity and vivid quality of our dreams, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them and reality. This being said, I hadn't realized I was dreaming when I first found myself in the training room reserved for Corran and I by General Cracken. Using a lightsaber I didn't recognize, Corran was blocking sting rays from a remote. In the middle of the room I was running Luke through intermediate katas, using my own lightsaber, with he using what I assumed to be his. This didn't seem strange to me, because I'd intended on building a saber for Corran to use, and help Luke Skywalker in whatever way I could. What was odd, was that in the corner of the room, small hands folded in a tattered robe, was Master Yoda. He looked older than I remembered, more haggard.

I turned my head to look at him, and he looked up, his eyes meeting mine.

The room changed into a blanket of stars, in which starships engaged in a deadly battle.

I know enough of the war to recognize the difference between Alliance and Imperial ships, and at first, it seemed the Alliance was winning. Then, one of the X-wings morphed into a TIE fighter, which turned on X-wings, suddenly multiplying into two dozen TIES. The reinforced Imperial navy destroyed the X-wings, and the space was soon littered with starship husks and floating corpses.

Not a single one of the X-wings survived.

I awoke with a start, breathing hard, and it took me a moment to orient myself. At first, I tried to dismiss my dream as a mere nightmare, stemming from concern for my son. When it did not begin to fade as such a dream would, I knew I could no longer dismiss it. Instead my danger sense tingled and I was able to review it in my mind. It had been a long time since I'd seen a vision of the future, so it took me a few moments to realize that was what I had. I didn't fully understand the beginning of it, with my son, Luke, and Yoda, but with Corran's upcoming mission, I had an idea about the battle. The X-wing turning into a TIE suggested betrayal, which could likely mean a spy. A spy meant that the supply mission could have been reported to the Imperials, and the Rogues could be walking into a trap.

Calling for lights, I glanced up at the chronometer, and slid quickly out of bed. There were only three hours before Corran left, and I had to be able to convince Antilles to either call for a cancellation of the mission, or change his plans. If I couldn't, my son would die.
***

The corridors were deserted at this hour in the morning, and it didn't take long to reach his quarters. I knocked, although I heard him groan, it didn't take long for the door to be opened and answered by Antilles. He stared at me through bleary eyes. "Sir?"

"We need to talk, Antilles," I said, cocking my head. "May I come in?"

Antilles spread his right hand, gesturing me inside. "Something wrong?" he asked with a yawn.

I waited for the door to close before answering, then clasped my hands behind my back. "I had a dream about your supply mission, Antilles, and in it the Alliance was betrayed by one of its own ships, and all of Rogue Squadron was destroyed."

He blinked, obviously confused. "What are you saying?"

"Jedi don't dream, Antilles," I answered carefully. "It was a vision of the future. I believe we have a spy in our ranks. If you continue the mission as planned, it will fail." I met his gaze. "The Force has given us a way to change that now, either through cancellation or change of plan."

Antilles stared at me for a moment, deep in thought. "I'll need to pass it by General Cracken," he said, picking up pair of boots and carrying them over to his bed. I was a little surprised at his quick agreement, and it must have shown on my face, because he continued to talk as he pulled on his boots. "By all rights, Celchu should have died, sir.” He looked up at me. "I trust your judgment."

I nodded. "Thank you."

"Convincing the General will be the hard part," Antilles said ruefully.

"I'll come with you," I offered, spreading my hands. "I can explain it to him."

Antilles shook his head, getting to his feet. "No, it's all right."

I smiled slightly. "He knows, Antilles."

He looked at me, somewhat surprised, then shrugged his shoulders. "Be my guest, then."

***

"You had a dream," Cracken repeated, fixing me with a steady gaze.

"A vision, General," I corrected him, placing my hand on the desk. "Normally, a Jedi can only see seconds into the future, such as during a battle, giving him time to respond to an attack as quickly as it occurs. The most common manifestation of this ability is the appearance of incredibly quick reflexes. It is far more rare to see what I have, in which you have days to respond. Usually, such visions only come to Seers, but every Jedi has the ability, to a degree. We often only see that which directly concerns us, and because Corran is my son and apprentice, his well being is my concern."

Cracken leaned back, raising an eyebrow. "I see." He turned to Antilles. "What do you think, Commander?"

"I think we should reconsider our plans, General."

He nodded. "Why?"

Antilles looked Cracken in the eye, a serious expression on his face. "I trust his abilities."

"Thank you, Commander," Cracken said, then returned his attention to me. "What did you see, exactly?"

I pursed my lips. "The Force isn't exactly forthright, General."

"That's all right," Cracken said, steepling his fingers. "Please explain."

Shrugging, I told him everything I had seen concerning the battle, skipping the beginning with Yoda. Cracken listened intently, nodding his head a few times as I explained my interpretation. I concluded by saying that I believed there to be a spy, but not necessarily in Rogue Squadron's ranks. I believed the Force had chosen to use an X-wing to symbolize the Alliance.

Cracken was a moment in speaking, considering my words. "We'll announce the cancellation in the morning, and send it out later than scheduled. Commander, gather your men for an emergency briefing. Dismissed."

Antilles nodded, and I waited for him to leave before raising an eyebrow to Cracken. I had wondered briefly why he had agreed so quickly, when it dawned on me. "You know there's a spy."

"Yes," Cracken answered simply, folding his hands on top the desk. "And I want you to track him down."

Try living on Dagobah for twenty years and see if *you* fare any better, Mr. Corsec. grin

: "Yes," Cracken answered simply, folding his hands on top the desk. "And I want you to track him down."

I wonder if Yoda was in the vision because he was helping Hal through the force, helping to guide the vision.

Liked that Hal’s danger sense tingled and helped him realise the danger was real.

Felt sorry for Wedge getting woken up. Good work by Wedge though in waking up enough so fast to understand what Hal was saying and to think of how to conceal Hal’s Jedi-ness from Cracken. Good work also by Hal in realising why Wedge was demurring over Hal coming with him.

Also liked Hal realising that Cracken had agreed too easily, and so must have already known there was a spy.

Good choice by Cracken to set Hal on the spy’s trail. About the only person Hal never caught were the pirates that killed Wedge’s parents, and that was probably only because Booster and Wedge killed them within a few hours and never informed CorSec they could call off the search. happy
