He's certainly not able to get up and run the galaxy. He's in a coma. That is all I know as of now. Ben, you stopped responding in the CCC!
As I said, I asked my mum to verify, it's been 14 years for sure, she said. Thrawn would have to do triple backflips and bring Padmé back from the dead to win.
Holy...Stars Above I was gone for too long. He's gonna hate me when he wakes up. I was supposed to protect him. That was my job. Now I *really* don't deserve to be titled Emperor's Sword. I would like to request something better suited to my decrepit station.
It's ok Shira! You're here now. None of us were expecting it, none of us were able to react quickly enough. I would like you to keep the position. I still think you deserve it. --- Sure, Ben. Sure. I'm not just going to stop having a character as a favourite after 14 years. It just doesn't happen!
*wry* I was thinking something more like mechanic. I don't deserve such grand titles. I've failed as Rick's protégé and the Emperor's body guard. I don't even deserve my position to the throne. He'll probably mark me as traitor when he wakes.
Punishing the truly loyal and talented Imperials will not make us any better. You are far from a traitor. That you care enough to be worried about Sinre and what has happened shows that. Which is exactly why I believe you still deserve the position. ---- What'd you think I was saying, Ben?
Well, I'll reluctantly keep it until Sinre wakes. I'm sure he'll demote me to something I'm better suited for.
I'll insist you keep the position. I was sort of saying that....actually. I think it's true. I have to still read the books, but I do think it's true. What's with everyone being so enamored with Thrawn though? Really.
Ben: I was elected Empress, Shira. I do have some say. Since I'm currently Empress, you are my Sword. When I am back to my Supreme Grand Admiral, you can be Fleet Commander, my right hand. We don't know, but we're waiting anxiously.
