"THAT'S your plan!"

Leia glared at her brother, "Whose plan got us out of the detention block?"

Luke thought back to their fateful meeting and had to agree, Leia knew what she was doing.

"Can you run the plan by me again?" Keisha asked "I want to make sure I know what I should be doing at all times."

"Since this is your ship, Keisha, you will fly the ship and get us as close to that star destroyer as you can. Get close enough so that we feel the SD's tractor beam start to pull us in. Luke will fire a few distracting shots to keep the tie fighters in a general area. I will fire the concussion missles, which will damage or hopefully destroy their tractor beam, hopefully they won't chase us until they get it repaired. We will attach to part of the SD, in one of the blind spots and when they jump to lightspeed....."

"You've been hanging around Han way too much Leia, admit it." Luke commented with a grin.

After giving her brother a playful smack, Leia ordered "to your stations..."

 

As always, comment please!!!

Will post ASAP

 

hey all,

I made it over. will post asap. please comment.

 

"Keep your fingers crossed, Princess Leia. When we get out of here I know a good friend who can help us..." Keisha smiled as she thought of her good friend, she may be gullible and naive at times, but she had a great store of wisdom and was good with comebacks.

Keisha began flying the ship away from the Star Destroyer, and heard the annoying voice of the SD's traffic controller

" Do not deviate from your assigned course Deliverer, state reason for trouble or be destroyed"

Keisha thought frantically, Leia and Luke still needed more time.

"UHHH, flight control, somethings wrong with my ship, the controls have locked and have set a course, there's nothing I can do"

Keisha crossed two fingers and hoped that the excuse was believable.

"Deliverer, we have scanned your ships sysetms, nothing appears to be wrong with your ship, return to your present course for interrogation."

[Drat] Keisha thought [the imps didn't buy it] "Yeah, the trouble isn't registering here either, traffic control, but i guarantee you that there is a definite malfunction-"

Here she was cut off. Over the comlink she heard an all to familiar cackle, [Like son, like father] she thought to her self. It was "emperor" Pestage. Although Pestage had no force abilities, he had a knack for telling when someone lied.

[O.K.] Keisha thought to herself [what am I going to do now?]
*********************************************
Like, Hate, It's so terrible you want to hang the author of this post?

Please comment folks (and for those of you lucky people on spring break, have a good spring break!!! )

 

*hey I'm back after two weeks and I find this great story!!! keep writing!!*

MORE!!!!

 

Keisha took a deep breath, told herself "here goes nothing!" and whistled, the signal for the plan to commence.

Leia heard the whistle and gave the "go ahead nod to her brother, who began firing at various points on the Star Destroyer.

Over the comlink channel, Keisha heard the frantic screams of the imp officers as they ordered their crew to engage the tractor beam. [We've got ya where we want ya, and now we're gonna get ya.] "Ok," Keisha said to herself, "that thought tells me that i've been hanging around Melissa too long." She smiled remembering all that they had gone through together.

Leia allowed the ship to be pulled by the tractor beam, then, when they got within 200 feet of the Conquerer, she let the missles fly. The sound of the concussion missles tearing the middle of the SD apart was music to the Rebels' ears. Although they knew that the missles were not powerful enough to destroy the whole ship, it would at least delay the imps, who would have to limp to the nearest repair station.

Keisha heard the hissing voice of Emperor Sate Pestage come over the comlink "very good, girl, but I promise you this: anywhere you go, whomever you run to, I will be at your heels. You will NEVER escape me.

Keisha rolled her eyes. She doubted that the imps could do them much trouble for awhile, but on the other hand she'd better be cautious. Keisha pulled back the hyperspace lever, they would need help from high places, Keisha decided.

WOnderful, EOJ, just wonderful!

********************************************
The Empress of Justice sighed with impatience. Her friend Keisha should have arrived five hours ago. She wondered what was taking Keisha so long.

Her pondering was interrupted by a beep of the comlink.

"Yes, who is it?"

"Your highness, I am but a Nubian trader and I have an offer that you won't be able to resist."

The Empress smiled, that was the secret code between her and Keisha. It meant: "I'm in big trouble and I need a favor."

Empress Melissa chuckled and ordered her guard: "Send them in."

She relaxed in her throne, she would have to use her most regal manner for her guests."

Again she smiled to herself, this boring day was about to get interesting.
*********************************************
Yes, I know just when the plot thickens. I have limited computer access for a short duration, so bear with me.

 

Sorry all, my computer's acting up again so I'm not going to risk posting the next part now, ill try later today.

Please comment, I love hearing from people!!

 

Sorry all, i've been unable to post during the Forums updates. Will post ASAP.

 

As Keisha was escorted by the guard to the throne room she tried to think up an excuse for not coming to the Palace of Justice earlier.

"I'll tell her I was uh, sick with the flu!!, No that's stupid, besides, she knows that i got my flu vaccination,I'll just have to tell her the truth." {and hope she doesn't get too angry} she silently added.

"Greetings, your Highness"

"Welcome, Keisha. It's been a long time since we've seen eachother. As I recall it was on Coruscant were I saw you last. How is the new settlement on Naboo going?"

Keisha gulped. "Your Highness, may we speak privately in your chambers?"

Melissa looked back at her friend in confusion. "Yes, of course." As the two walked down the passageway to the Empress's chambers Melissa asked the question Keisha had been dreading: "Why haven't you been to Naboo???"
********************************************
More later, comment!!!!

 

Drat, I wanted to post more, but the bell just rung. Gotta go to Algebra -I have a quiz and I'm not sure I know what i'm doing.
<grimace>

 

Double drat! I wanted you to post more too! Sigh.

 

LOL, ok WannaJedi. Here's more.
*********************************************
"Well, I........"

Melissa raised her eyebrows. Keisha swallowed the excuse. "The Tarkins, your highness"

"The Tarkins? He died on the first Death Star and she died by Vader's hand for letting two rebels get away from the mining colony."

"TWO rebels, Melissa. To my knowledge only Leia was there."

Melissa gave an embarrased grin. The GOLDEN LION, my ship was shot down, I had received a distress call from Leia's ship and decided to answer it incognito.

"Then, your highness, you must know about the Tarkins two sons."

Melissa thought for a moment. "I havent seen them after the Pextra incident."

[And believe me, your highness, you don't WANT to meet them] Keisha thought.

"Well, handmaiden, are my people on Naboo?"

"Your highness, they were attacked by Pestage and his forces and are being held as slaves by the Tarkins."

Melissa was silent for several minutes. Then she said: "My foster mother, the great Queen Amidala was an advocator of peace, but it appears that peace for my people must be a struggle. Keisha, I must make contact with the Alliance."

Keisha smiled, "I've got two Alliance leaders who are waiting to speak to you."

"You may send them in after I return to the Throne Room.................."

To Be Continued..........................

The bells about to ring. Meesa going HOOOOOOME!!!!!! (ok, ok that was a jar-jar impression in honor of the release of The Phantom Menace on Tuesday.

 

I've made a clip with sound in Studio DC10+ software. I'm now using Premiere and I get this problem; when I open the clip in the monitor window I can hear the audio, but when I drag the clip to the timeline the audio section has no waveform and won't play.

Any ideas??

 

What version of Premiere?

 

Luke paced the waiting room of the Palace of Justice nervously. What was taking Keisha so long??? Leia watched her brother pacing and urged him.
"Luke, sit down, she's only been in there a half an hour."

"ONLY a half an hour!!!"

"The time I was an ambassador to Malastare I had to wait three hours."

Luke shook his head. [Politics] he thought ruefully.

"I heard that."

Luke frowned. That was the trouble with having a Force-strong sister, they always picked up on your thoughts.

Then Keisha opened the doors. She looked pleased with herself.

"The Empress will see all three of us now."

Luke calmed himself using a Jedi calming technique. [Here goes nothing] he thought to himself.

********************************************
To Be Continued.....................

 

Melissa, back in her white makeup and royal robes, waited for them to enter.

Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long. Keisha, now dressed in her simple handmaiden dress, escorted Luke and Leia into the throneroom. Luke could not help glancing around at the Naboo architechure of the palace.

 

I'm using version 5.1.

What is weird is that I can hear the sound in the monitor window but not when playing in timeline window.
