	I really like this one. I've always wondered how things would have turned out for Corran if dad had survived. Would he have stayed in rogue squadron as long as he did? I look forward to reading more of this one. -----signature----- Speak Softly and Carry a Sack of Thermal Detonators Star Wars Meets Wing Commander http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/18955949/?1 Flipside - http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/19415960/?0

	I told you I'd get here, Luney-girl. Marathon reads are so much fun! I love Hal and Corran's relationship, and you've done beautifully with everything else.

	Oh boy, I made it here finally! Firstly, Corran is one of my favorite characters, and although I've never read much of anything about Hal Horn, I'm really like this story. A lot. I love the father/son interaction, Hal's visit to Luke, and the vision. I'm glad you're writing this in first person, you do it well, Hal's inner thoughts are interesting. Now lets catch us a spy. -----signature----- Hey fellow lurkers, join me in delurking!

	Arin_Atona: : He looked older than I remembered, more haggard. Try living on Dagobah for twenty years and see if you fare any better, Mr. Corsec. LOL! Good point. : "Yes," Cracken answered simply, folding his hands on top the desk. "And I want you to track him down." His specialty Quite! RebelMom: those little changes helped a lot. time to catch a spy. Thanks! Quite! Jaya Solo: Awesome post! Go find the spy! Thanks! Yes! Miana Kenobi: IT'S CHAUVOLD!!! Oops, wrong story... Nice post, Luney. Needs more Trenht, but that's forgiveable. lol! So sorry. Thanks :-D RedGold: Go Dad! Gotta love those visions. Definitely! So, spy-hunting? I'm game. Yep! Thanks! _JM_: I wonder if Yoda was in the vision because he was helping Hal through the force, helping to guide the vision. Ooh interseting theory Liked that Hal’s danger sense tingled and helped him realise the danger was real. Thank you 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. Thank you, I was proud of that one. Also liked Hal realising that Cracken had agreed too easily, and so must have already known there was a spy. Thank you :-D 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. Very true! Can't imagine why they didn't inform Corsec. jade51999: So Hal has to find a spy.. Bizaare vision with Yoda! Thank you And Cracken is assuming that the spy is a "him" eh? Hmm.. interesting.. figure of speech, I think. Thanks AvenKiel: oooooh, the plot thickens!! Duh Duh Duh!! Hehehee Great Post! Thank you Stars_Guitar: I really like this one. I've always wondered how things would have turned out for Corran if dad had survived. Would he have stayed in rogue squadron as long as he did? I've wondered that too. :-D I look forward to reading more of this one. Thank you EmilieDarklighter: I told you I'd get here, Luney-girl. Marathon reads are so much fun! I love Hal and Corran's relationship, and you've done beautifully with everything else. I can't wait for more...specially for Lukie to wake up. Aww thank you very much woman! OOh Lukie...hm... HandmaidenKenobi: Oh boy, I made it here finally! Firstly, Corran is one of my favorite characters, and although I've never read much of anything about Hal Horn, I'm really like this story. A lot. I love the father/son interaction, Hal's visit to Luke, and the vision. I'm glad you're writing this in first person, you do it well, Hal's inner thoughts are interesting. Thank you very much! I haven't read much of anything on Hal either, (There isn't much out there ) aside from two short STackpole stories and a couple fanfics. This is my second story with him. :-D Glad you really like it, flattered you caugh up with it! :-D Cypher18: Great. Great. Great. Keep up the good work.

	Chapter Nine More than likely, I wasn't Cracken's first choice to catch the spy. However, in cases such as possible infiltration, the fewer people who knew of it, the better. A secret shared is a secret gone, as the saying went. If the spy were to realize we were onto him, any false information we tried to feed him wouldn’t work, and he could run. Or, even worse, do something desperate such as setting off a few detonators in order to do as much damage as possible before running. I only had an in on it because people, Cracken could keep quiet, but the Force was another matter entirely. I wondered how he felt about my silent advisor. Corran left early that morning, and it was publicly known that the Rogues had taken another mission, one of such importance eclipsed that of the medical supply run, and they were heading out on it instead. All outgoing com calls were being monitored in an attempt to find the spy, but I would be surprised if they managed to catch him that way. More than likely he had more than one name, and if he were smart, he'd broadcast from more than one com. With Corran gone, I started straight into my investigation, as a way to keep from worrying. I was given access to files concerning missions and situations allegedly betrayed by the spy. I noticed almost right away that Rogue Squadron was a main target of his, particularly when Luke Skywalker actively commanded it. There were even a few times when Luke Skywalker was singled out, and narrowly missed Imperial capture or death. This was not a good sign. In the small amount of time I'd spent with Luke Skywalker at the infirmary, I could sense he was fairly far along in his training. If Obi-Wan had been his master and trained him up to that point, then he should have been able to sense conspiracy against him. There were a few names that appeared in nearly every case, and if one of them was the spy, Luke should have known it was him. This worried me a great deal, because your average person would have no idea how to hide deceit from a Jedi. Usually it would take knowing what a Jedi looks for, what they can sense without much probing, and how they might choose to interpret the data. What it usually took, was another Jedi. There was always a chance that Palpatine or Vader had somehow managed to train this person otherwise, but what kind of an assassin would they have to send to capture a Jedi? Particularly one as powerful as Luke Skywalker? Perhaps one of the droids they'd used during the purges, or one of Palpatine's rumored Force sensitive agents? Neither choice was very appealing. Over the next few days, I spent time meeting with the others assigned to the case, gathering what they had learned and sharing as much of my own insights as I dared. Mainly, I reported directly to Cracken. On the day Corran was due back, I spent the morning in the mess hall, my datapad in front of me. It's not always a good thing to mix food and work, but the case intrigued me, and the perp had all ready threatened my son, and I wouldn't allow that. It took me a moment to realize I was being watched, and when I looked up, whoever it had been had already looked quickly away. I frowned slightly, scanning the people around me, until making eye contact with Luke Skywalker. He blinked, seeming a little surprised. Leaning back in my chair, I cocked my head, nodding to him. Luke said something to the people he was talking with, then left, coming over to stand across from me. "I saw you the other night, in the infirmary." I nodded, gesturing to his hand. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better, Commander." "It's Luke," he said, glancing at me curiously. "Who are you?" "Hal Horn," I replied, offering him my hand. Luke took it, raising his eyebrow. "Corran's father?" I smiled slightly. "I'll claim him." "I didn't know he..." "He didn't either," I said quickly, shutting down my datapad. "Can I talk to you somewhere private, Luke?" Luke pursed his lips, but he nodded to me. "Sure." I got up from the table, lifting my datapad and tray. I wasn't sure where I wanted to go, but I didn't care to discuss certain things with Luke where we could be over heard. Also, I wasn't sure what I was going to say to the young man. In the light I could see him a lot better, and he seemed a good mix of both Anakin and Senator Amidala. Anakin, however, had a harsh edge about him, where Luke struck me as much softer. He wasn't as confused or angry now as he had been the other night, and I found myself again wondering what had happened to him. I led him to the nearest empty meeting room, closing the door behind us. As soon as we were in the room, Luke tilted his head to the side. "You're keeping it a secret, aren't you?" "Old habits die hard," I answered, spreading my hands. "And I'd prefer Corran to be much better trained before Palpatine learns of us." "How long has he been training?" Luke asked, intrigued. "About two weeks," I answered carefully, leaning against the wall. "I'd like to start him on saber training," I said, glancing at Luke's utility belt. "Do you have one?" Luke's eyes clouded slightly, and I realized I'd hit a touchy subject. "No, I lost it." "When you were injured?" I asked softly. He shrugged, looking away from me. I moved away from the wall, coming over to rest my hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, I was going to build him one anyway. I've managed to convince Cracken to let me have a salvaged laser turret from a TIE. I'm going to compress the gas inside to make a couple crystals for lightsabers," I said, then squeezed his shoulder. "If you want, I can teach you how to make one." Luke hesitated, before turning his head to look at me. "How long would it take?" "It's not about time, Luke," I said, frowning slightly. "I know," Luke said softly, pursing his lips. "Right now Lando and Chewie are looking for Han, and as soon as they get a lead, Leia and I will join them." "I see," I said, stroking my chin thoughtfully. I had heard that, allegedly, Calrissian had gone legit. Apparently, it hadn't lasted long. I wondered what had happened to Solo, but suspected it would hit yet another touchy subject with him. "It can take anywhere between three to seven days. But I would prefer not to rush you through it." Luke was a moment in answering, thinking carefully. "I think that would work well, thank you." He then added softly, "It would probably come in handy." I raised an eyebrow. "Quite handy for deflecting blaster bolts and opening doors?" He shrugged, and I folded my arms. "I'd hope not for confronting Sith Lords." His gaze hardened. "For defending against." "That is very important, Luke," I said, nodding to him. "And certainly an eventuality that must be prepared for. However, I do not feel that is a job for apprentices." I thought briefly of Obi-Wan Kenob who, as a padawan, had fought a Sith apprentice, and took a deep breath. "But I likely could not completely prevent it. I intend to teach saber combat to Corran. You are welcome to join us any time as long as you are here." Luke met my gaze, studying me carefully. I suspect he was thinking back to Kenobi, whom had apparently betrayed him in some way. But he nodded to me, his answer non-committal.

	Agree with Hal that Cracken might have some interesting feelings about the Force. All the trouble you can go to in maintaining security and trying to trick the spy and then all it takes is one Force-Vision and someone else knows. Could be interesting finding who the spy is. Lord Vader does have his own agents so the question is whether Luke was evading capture (which would suggest Pappa Skywalker) or death (which would suggest old Wrinkles). Liked Hal’s reaction to Corran getting endangered by the plans against Luke. Also liked how defensive Luke was about his plans and his injuries. I get the feeling Luke wants to trust Hal, but simply can’t after the (perceived) betrayals by Yoda and Obi-Wan. Good that Hal decided to check if Luke was planning on confronting Vader and that Luk was planning only to defend himself if needed. With the lightsaber training I think Hal might get a surprise at just how good Luke is. He managed to do rather well in Vader’s Quest, and that was before any extra training from Yoda. -----signature----- Seeming unable to just say "Nice post, I enjoyed it" Sometimes amazed at how "I'll reply tomorrow" becomes "I should have replied last week" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Return of a Jedi. http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/23421597
