[i][b]Prologue
Meeting of the Pilots[/b][/i]

Instead of preparing his crew, as per his usual, he was being the Jedi lackey. [i]I think I dislike the Jedi, no, I know I dislike the Jedi.[/i] The time Carth usually spent commencing training drills and communicating with the starfighters had, of late, turned into time spent waiting to be interdicted by a Sith fleet. This was not a mission he was thrilled with, they had just left Corellia to pick up some unknown scout that the Jedi wanted. For what reason, the Force only knew. The most irritating part was that he was not in charge. Admiral Dodonna had given him his starfighter unit, but the rest of this escapade was under the Jedi?s command.

Fortunately, for Carth Onasi, his time on the bridge was also interspersed with going over the navdata previously recorded from his military droid, Emtrey. Unfortunately, Emtrey had been spliced together with a protocol droid and was unnecessarily talkative and needed more attention than most. Lots and lots of attention.

?Can you be more specific Emtrey?? Carth asked. ?I know the Sith are using Interdictors, I want to know their last location.? Carth wanted to know how soon they could expect an attack if the Sith found out where they were. [i]Which, of course, they would. They always found out.[/i]

The communications officer interrupted, ?Sir, Commander Shan is requesting a moment of your time.?

Emtrey continued. ?...they were last monitored in the Toponi sector. If they desired they could intercept us anywhere between here and Eriadu. Why, that would be most unfortunate would it not??

?Yes, yes it would.? He turned to the communications officer and replied, ?Tell her I will be with her just as soon as I?m finished here and then patch her into my office.? She was going to wait. He would follow his orders, but that didn?t mean he had to like it. [i]She?s barely lost her baby teeth and she?s in charge of this mission. Carth just[/i] loved [i]that. [/i]

Emtrey had not stopped his barrage of information and somewhere in the middle of it Carth caught up to him. ?The Leviathan would probably be on hand. The captain of the ship is Saul Karath. You know him if I am not mistaken. I believe....?

Carth stopped listening and started seeing red. [i]Oh, yes, I know him. At least for the short time he lives before I kill him. [/i]He raised his right hand and rubbed his tired eyes with his thumb and forefinger.

?...you know what will happen if they pull us out of hyperspace? The Leviathan has ion cannons and...?

Carth interrupted the droid and put his hand up to him. ?Yes, Emtrey, I am aware. That will be all for now. Please have that data encrypted and sent over to Captain Antilles.?

Carth looked out the port view panel and noted the starfighter squad running escort duty for him. He gave a tired sigh. They were young. Smart, but young. They were the beginning of a new starfighter squadron. It hadn?t even been given a proper name yet. He had talked to Admiral Dodonna about having a group of starfighters with specialized training. They were losing so many young pilots. He wanted the best pilots to train a special group of pilots for an extended period of time. They were accompanying him along with the Endar Spire?s usual complement of Aurek fighters, Green Squadron. Carth had spent six months finding the best pilots to make the unit. They were going to be

 

Hehe, very original premise. I like it.

She?s barely lost her baby teeth and she?s in charge of this mission. Carth just loved that.

I can sympathize with Carth; I don't like Bastila all that much either.

?No, I beg to differ with you. Not everyone likes milk. You know how I know that? Because I don?t like milk. I stopped drinking it at the age of eight.? Hobbie chimed in..
?But milk is delicious!?
?It?s blue.?

Great banter.

Welcome to the boards, WraithTen!

 

What a very creative idea for a story!

I'm loving it.

She was going to wait. He would follow his orders, but that didn?t mean he had to like it. She?s barely lost her baby teeth and she?s in charge of this mission. Carth just loved that.

Ooh, I hate Bastilla, and I think Carth does too. I love how you let his annoyance seep through along with duty, it's very believable and realistic. Perfectly in character.

Oh, yes, I know him. At least for the short time he lives before I kill him.

I love Carth . ..

No, I beg to differ with you. Not everyone likes milk. You know how I know that? Because I don?t like milk. I stopped drinking it at the age of eight.? Hobbie chimed in..

?But milk is delicious!?

?It?s blue.?

?Oh, you?re kidding me. You don?t like it because it?s blue? What have you got against blue??

?I don?t have...oh, just shut up.?

I love the banter, and Wes is just priceless!

It's like reading Alliston again. *sigh*

?So what if we artificially changed the color to white. Would you drink it then??

?Shut up.?



?No, seriously, it can be done. Unless you want a different color. Maybe pink is more your liking. I know a drink for you.. I?ll put a cute little umbrella in it for you. I know you?ll like it.

Yep, this is getting better than Alliston!

?Hey, Tycho, why don?t we save both out ears and just space Wes?? asked Hobbie.

Wedge chimed in, ?Sorry, we need him.?

?Surely there?s another pilot we can get instead of him.?

?No guarantees that they will be any less annoying, although that does seem improbable,? retorted Wedge.

I think I should have just copied the whole thing. LOL

Anyway, I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this! It's quick, witty, creative, and with a good chance for action and Bastilla-bashing - who ever hates that?

Can't wait to see more!

*FLAME*

 

She's barely lost her baby teeth and she's in charge of this mission. Carth just loved that.

LOL! Yes, Carth, Carth, oh how you've got more important things to worry about coming at you.



"No, I beg to differ with you. Not everyone likes milk. You know how I know that? Because I don't like milk. I stopped drinking it at the age of eight." Hobbie chimed in.

"But milk is delicious!"

"It's blue."

"Oh, you're kidding me. You don't like it because it's blue? What have you got against blue?"

ROTFLOL! Oh that's hilarious! Don't like it cause it's blue, what a dork. :Þ


"No, seriously, it can be done. Unless you want a different color. Maybe pink is more your liking. I know a drink for you.. I'll put a cute little umbrella in it for you. I know you'll like it."

OMG *bang the desk laughing*


"Surely there's another pilot we can get instead of him."

"No guarantees that they will be any less annoying, although that does seem improbable," retorted Wedge.

LMAO!! I love all the back and forth pilot banter. Simply marvelous!

But how did Wedge get back in time? I'll assume those other guys are regulars in Beyond the Saga, but I don't know them like I know Wedge cause I'm not much of a Beyonder.

Looking forward to learning that little tidbit of info.

And you were gonna faint for posting something? It's GOOD! No need to be shy.

PMs, please?

 

She's barely lost her baby teeth and she's in charge of this mission. Carth just loved that.

A great way to start a rainy Saturday morning!

 

I can't believe I missed this before. Great job! The dialogue in the second scene is just priceless.

Can't wait for more!

 

Great Job

 

The Aurek fighters were outfitted with two laser canons, just like the light tactical fighter but stronger, more maneuverable, newer, and fast!
haha, it's like an advertisement. Awesome!

This looks to be the beginning of a beautiful dysfunctional family.

 

?No, I beg to differ with you. Not everyone likes milk. You know how I know that? Because I don?t like milk. I stopped drinking it at the age of eight.? Hobbie chimed in..

?But milk is delicious!?

?It?s blue.?

?Oh, you?re kidding me. You don?t like it because it?s blue? What have you got against blue??

?I don?t have...oh, just shut up.?

Wedge laughed to himself. Well at least I?m not bored.

?So what if we artificially changed the color to white. Would you drink it then??

?Shut up.?

?No, seriously, it can be done. Unless you want a different color. Maybe pink is more your liking. I know a drink for you.. I?ll put a cute little umbrella in it for you. I know you?ll like it.?

?No, I won?t. I don?t like milk.?

We need to get this boy his very own copy of Green Eggs and Ham


Fun banter!

 

First off, I really like the title.

Secondly, I love the tone of Carth's thoughts, like the way he reacted to the Interdictor.

Thirdly, who doesn't love Rogue humor?

Fourthly, who doesn't like milk?

This is great! I hope there's more.

 

I'm liking this. I love the Rogues, and I loved KotOR. I mean, Carth was a bit whiney but that's ok. I'm very interested to see where you go with it.
Keep it going if you would be so kind.

fanficfan

 

I love Rogues and I love KOTOR. What better combination could one want?!

 

First of all I would just like to thank everyone for reading and being so wonderful with the reviews!

I'm so sorry about being so slow to post this next story. I had a few problems on my end. First problem, I didn't really anticipate anyone liking the story so I didn't anticipate that in advance. My bad! Second, my plot gizka was all messed up and I had to rework it. Third, my beta has been extremely busy. Fourth, someone on this site has gotten me to try my hand at art and that has taken up waaaaay too much of my time. But I do love it.

On the plus side I can say that I almost have the third chappie ready, so you will not have to wait so long for the next update. Thank you all for your patience!

I have chapter 2 ready to go and will be update as soon as I can figure out how to do it correctly! By tomorrow morning, I promise!

jedi-of-ennth: Thank you and yes, I'm not a Bastilla fan. That's probably going to become abundantly clear really soon.

JagsEternalFlame: Thanks for the huge compliment in comparing me to Allston. He's the master, I just like to play in his world! Probably half the lines are his because I've his books so many times.

BrentusofGath: I'm glad it had you laughing, makes me so happy. @Wedge, um, I wasn't really planning on explaining that little detail. I kind of just went Alternate Universe and thought, "Hey, what if..." Hope that's ok for you. And thank you so much for getting out the cattle prod.

VaderLVR64: Well, the update will be on a Tuesday morning...hope it works well for you.

NiobeAsha: Thank you. Yes there will be more. I'm just having a slow month, it's been crazy over here.

Tizzel: Thanks!

1Yodimus_Prime: Dysfunctional doesn't even begin to cover it!

Noelie: Poor Hobbie, you just want to give the guy a hug. lol

JadeSolo: Who doesn't love Rogue humor, indeed. I have a slight love affair with them, but I guess I didn't need to advertise that.

Fanficfan: Thank you. Yes, I will continue the story. I kind of messed up the arrangement and then had to do damage control. Took a bit of time for me.

Darth-Spider-Queen: I agree, my two favorite things together in one story.

Mira: I can't say enough. Thanks!

Thanks again everyone!!!

 

I know this is relatively short but since I messed up and wrote my story kind of every which way I kind of had a little revising to do.

No worries, I have the next chapter with my beta so it shouldn't be too long.

Thank you for reading!

[hr]




The hyperspace lines transformed into individual stars and planets as they came out of hyperspace into Yavin?s atmosphere.

?One Flight, with me. Corran, keep Two and Three flight in atmo.?

?Sure thing, boss,? replied Corran.

?Okay boys, let?s get what we came for.? said Wedge Antilles, the squadron leader.

?Man, I really don?t want to play politician; it?s no fun at all,? whined fellow pilot Wes Janson. ?I?m already bored.?

?Come on, you know we were sent because the Republic can?t spare anyone else at the moment. Let?s just get the information so we can get back in the air, where we?re a bit more comfortable.? said Wedge.

One Flight landed in the hanger and extricated themselves from their fighters. The hangar was empty, save for some scattered tools and stacks of crated unknown items. Wedge walked up to the control panel and hit a button. A Rodian Suvam Tan answered and, after a brief exchange, let them in.

After the second empty corridor closed off with a sealed door, Wes looked at Wedge. ?I hope it?s not another hallway. I?m starting to get winded, and bored. Did I mention I was bored??

?Maybe it?s a good sign. Otherwise, what would be the point of all the security? If he does do work for the Exchange he would have pricey items. That would be cause for the cameras and all the locks.?

?Or he?s a cheat and a liar and this is all an elaborate trap,? said Hobbie.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him.

?What? This is news??

?Well you?re just a constant ray of sunshine aren?t you?? said Wes. He looked at Tycho, ?You don?t think it?s a trap do you??

?Why do you care Wes? I thought you wanted to shoot something.?

?Oh, I do. But if I?m on camera, I would at least like to comb my beautiful, dark locks. I have helmet hair.?

?I might have known it would be something serious.? said Tycho.

?Hey, we?re the best pilots in the fleet; we have an image to maintain.? said Wes.

Tycho asked Wes, ?What about the image of being adult? What happened to that??

?I didn?t sign up for that. Was that in the fine print? Where?s my paperwork?? Wes started shuffling through his pockets looking for an imaginary paper.

Tycho waved him off. ?Let?s just get back to Wedge.?

Wes gave up shuffling through the many pockets on his jumpsuit. ?I can?t find the paperwork. I found gum though; would you like a piece of gum??

Tycho did a double take, intending to make a retort but then he gave up on that thought, so he turned on his heels and walked away figuring Wes would follow him. Or not ? he gave up trying to figure him out so he just continued his way to join Wedge and the Rodian.

After Wedge and Tycho were engrossed in a discussion that was more boring than conversing with a rock Wes decided it was shopping time, under the pretense of ?checking things out?, of course. He started going through the boxes like a starved Kath hound. Every minute or so an ?Ooh, I like that,? or an ?I?ve got to get me one of these,? could be heard coming from his direction. Then they heard a large crash and looked over at him. Wes glanced back and raised his shoulders in his [i]it wasn?t me[/i] pose. Wedge looked over at Tycho and gave a nod in Wes? direction. Tycho in turn leaned in to tell Hobbie, ?Watch Wes.?

Hobbie gave him a pained expression. ?What did I do to deserve that? You know I can?t stop him,? he grumbled as he walked towards Wes.

Wedge and Tycho finished up their questioning of Suvam. They had the information they wanted. He had been operating an abandoned Republic space station around Yavin. He had been a slave during the Great Sith War. Having been apprenticed to a Baragwin weapon smith, he became an accomplished inventor. When his Baragwin fri

 

"I hope it's not another hallway. I'm starting to get winded, and bored.

LOL! He's in such good shape isn't he?


"Why do you care Wes? I thought you wanted to shoot something."

"Oh, I do. But if I'm on camera, I would at least like to comb my beautiful, dark locks. I have helmet hair."

ROTFLOL!! Oh that's great! Such a primmadonna!


Wedge was pretty sure he saw him making a smiley face out of it.

LOL! And such a child!


"It's a sword, it's a blaster, and it's an electric paint brush. Can I have it? I've wanted one ever since I first saw one, just now."

*wipes tears from eyes* That Wes is some kind of funny.

I wonder who ratted on their location to the Sith?


Great update! I'm really looking forward to more now! Can't wait for the space fight!
