Saga SO MUCH FOR OUTBOUND FLIGHT -- Prequel-era AU, novella-ish length (finished, but not really edited)

Standard Disclaimer:
Act 1, Scene 1:
The stage is dark. Cue spotlight to the center of the stage. Cue Kinman Doriana of Naboo to walk to the center of the stage.
?Ahem. The author would like you to note that George Lucas owns all rights to these characters.?
Cue Revan Maloch, sweeping most distractingly across the stage in full Jedi regalia, à la Errol Flynn, on a chandelier.
Cue Anvil Drop while the attention of Kinman Doriana of Naboo is otherwise occupied.
?AHHHHHHH!!!!!?
Cue spotlight on Mitth?raw?nuruodo, Lorana Jinzler, Mitth?ras?safis, and Jorj Car?das, arms slung casually around each other?s waists, blinking innocently and studiously standing with Lorana?s Jedi robes draped mostly over the knife, while Revan (now laughing heartily) salutes them with his lightsaber and soars off into the darkness, the chandelier swinging back out above the anvil and the rather smashed in stage (above the even more broken Kinman Doriana of Naboo) and passing straight through an obviously flabbergasted Qui-Gon Jinn, who belatedly zooms off after Master Revan whilst waving his arms like a windmill trying to invite a jousting match.

TRANSLATION OF DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the lovely characters from the Star Wars 'verse, more's the pity! What I do have is an extremely contrary muse that refuses to shut up and leave me alone . . .

*Title: So Much for Outbound Flight (*working title only)

Pairing: This work does not revolve around an actual couple, though the teacher/student relationship of Revan Maloch/Qui-Gon Jinn rests solidly at the heart of this story. There will be some pairing of other characters before the end of the fic, but it would give away too much to tell you who they are now.

Summary: The future is never a fixed thing. Though specific actions can forever perclude the possibility of certain future pathways coming about, other unexpected choices can have powerful repercussions with far-reaching effects upon the possible probable pathways that the future might yet take. If the Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn can persuade the Force spirit of Revan Maloch to help him save the passengers of the Outbound Flight Project, the balance of power in the galaxy might yet tip away from darkness into light, and much evil and suffering could, possibly, still be averted, despite the machinations of Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith. To accomplish this, though, Qui-Gon will have to overcome Revan's own determination to save the Chiss warrior Mitth?raw?nuruodo from the poisonous clutches of Sidious, even if he must sacrifice every single one of the 50,000 plus lives of the passengers and crew members of Outbound Flight in order to do so . . .

*Author?s Note: Please note: I personally made the decision to link the Chiss with the dissolution of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, just as I personally decided that someone as powerful and as determined as Revan would have figured out how to survive his own eventual inevitable death by becoming a true Force spirit. Some of this work will pattern itself after information in the SW EU and events portrayed in the inimitable Timothy Zahn novel Outbound Flight (just as events in the SW AU WiP that this story is a companion piece to follow, to a certain extent, circumstances portrayed in the SW EU and in RotS). This is an AU that occurs in the 'verse of a SW AU WiP that is essentially my version of events had Padme died in the attack on Coruscant, though, so expect a far different ending than the one Timothy Zahn was constrained to arrive at for the Outbound Flight Project!



PREFACE

The being standing alone in the middle of the ship?s bridge has the shape of a human male, tall and slim but broad-shouldered and obviously fit. He stands silently and unmoving, observing without interfering, his hands tucked into the loose sleeves of his outermost garment in a pose of meditative contemplation and unending patience. Where his skin is not covered by either the concealing drape of a long robe (its deep

 

Alright. So I've tried and tried to post the rest and I'm tired of getting the same darn error message. Here's where the whole story can be found, as of right now, though I'll probably be editing it at some point. My head hurts too much to try to figure out why this site won't work consistently right now . . .
