    Great post, Qwi! :D
    I tried to read it an hour ago, but there was a sudden power outage when I was half way through. :mad: We never have them in March! How frustrating.

    Finally read the new post. Wow!

    I agree with Wedge. He's a Corellian! They're supposed to be lucky! :D :p

    Great post! :)

    Although I want to agree with Wedge that Corellians are supposed to be lucky, I'm not sure that that's exactly. They just have no respect for the odds. Any other major Corellians going to show up, (like Bel Iblis perhaps? or Iella?:))

    Finally caught up with everything -again-!!! I finally found some time (actually I should have been studying but I couldn't help it! [face_blush] :D

    Qwi, a wonderful work this is as usual! So, they finally found out about their past, uh? Though I bet there's much more to come!

    I'm so happy I found the time to do this! :) It's so great!!!

    Saber-You're right...I think from here it will only get more difficult. [face_devil]

    Jadis-Sorry about your power outage! Glad you got to read this! :)

    Maul-Thank you! :D

    jadesaber-LOL! Yes, they are, aren't they? It would certainly explain how so many of them are alive after all this time, wouldn't it? ;)

    Tych-I agree--Corellians don't care one way or the other. Hmmm...I don't know. We'll see. [face_mischief]

    Leia!-You're back! Again! :D Thanks for taking the time out of your horribly busy schedule to read this.

    Mcily-Thanks for the ups! And here's a post for ya! :)

    ********

    Getting into the Coruscant system wasn't hard. Ships were constantly coming and going. Besides that, we were heading right for the mouth of the beast--Coruscant would be the hardest planet for us to escape on.

    "All right. Here's the plan." Mara spoke up as soon as we came out on the edge of the system. If we went any farther, we were going to run into patrolling ships. Mara and Yané had been discussing options for the better part of the trip. It was kind of funny--they were both very similar in their occupations, but the way they had been taught their skills were completely opposite. "We need to find an outlying shuttle--a surveillance stormtrooper crew. Then we need to board their ship, incapacitate them, and steal their armor."

    "Oh, well that should be easy." Wedge said. "How are we supposed to do that?"

    "I can pick out the ship that would suit us best." Mara stated.

    "How are we supposed to board it without getting blown away? Even if we just get a surveillance shuttle, don't you think there will be other ships nearby?" Wedge wondered.

    "Not if you know where to look." Mara grinned. "You forget--Coruscant is where I grew up. Palpatine would know that, and he's probably heard about the breakaway from Corellia and figured out that it was me. So, if he knew that I knew Coruscant's defenses, he probably would have changed them. But he knew that I knew he would have changed them, so..." Her eyes narrowed, and she stared out the transparisteel.

    Wedge and I frowned at each other, utterly confused. "Come again?" I rose my eyebrows.

    "Trust me." Was all Mara said.

    I shrugged at Wedge, who simply shrugged in return.

    "Luke, here's what we need you to do." She quickly explained. "Can you do it?"

    I thought about it for a moment. "Yes."

    "Good. Now, I need complete control of the ship." Mara looked at Wedge. He and I had been sitting in the two seats on board while Mara and Yané talked.

    Wedge held up his hands and moved out of the way. "She's not the kind of woman you want to mess with." He muttered to me as I gave up my seat for Yané.

    "You're telling me." I whispered back.

    If Mara heard us, she chose to ignore us. "Our ship is almost guaranteed to have been ID'd. Yané?"

    "I'll take care of it."

    "The long-range sensors on here or horrible. We'll have to make do." Mara settled back in her seat.

    "You realize our lives are in the hands of these two women." Wedge continued under his breath. "And you know how flighty they can--"

    "Wedge Antilles, I heard that." Yané said without turning around.

    I laughed. It was nice to have a slight break from the tension of my life every once in a while.

    "We'll have to do this fast, or--"

    "--they'll send for help before we can block their transmission." Yané finished for Mara. "Don't worry, I have it covered."

    Mara turned her head, so I saw her give Yané a half-smile. "I'm used to working alone." It was the closest to an apology I'd ever heard from her.

    "No problem. I'm used to working with other people." Yané replied.

    Mara was again focused completely on the computer screen in front of her. "We should be close...there! Long-range sensors have detected a surveillance ship. ID 331-268. Perfect."

    Yané's fingers traced across the buttons on her console. "Tell you what, the long-range sensors may be horrible, but the transmitter-scrambler on here is a beauty. Their communications have been blocked." She smiled in satisfaction.

    "Good. Their weapons are minimal. Shields to maximum." Mara said. "We have to disable them--but not too much, or we won't be able to fly it. And try to keep their weapons' intact. It will make our job later a lot easier if we have any emergencies."

    Yané was already getting ready to fire as soon as she was within visual range. "I know. We have to do this quick. They probably already identified us. We have to take out their primary thrusters, and

    Never underestimate these women Wedge. :)
    That was a good trick to get them down on the planet. Now the action really starts I guess. Now I hope that we get another Kiss before they start fighting the bad guys. :D
    Sorry, the mush thing comes out every once in a while. I can't control it.

    *winces* I feel like something is not right, there is too many doubts and "maybe's" circling around. Well, at least they have Yane with them, if they need help. Still, that doesn't put me at ease. Wonderful post!
