Saga Reporting Live--a year's journal of an undercover reporter in the Alliance--Updated finally!

This never fails to make me laugh.

So she's officially datinf Hobbie now, interesting development, but he really is so sweet.
And what was thet with bacta-jelly?

The diversion!
I loved that piece, too. If I hadn't read it already, I'd surely doso now.
Great updates.
Already looking forward for more.

 

I am having the greatest time trying to picture Vader's reaction to being mooned. I can just see it, all dark and serious with no care for anything besides finding Skywalker and "BAM" bare butts in his grill. Just classic!

 

Okay. I read the rest of that post but somehow nothing else is staying in my head after reading about "mooning Darth Vader".

Why had no one else come up with this way of dealing with the scourge of the Galaxy before this?

This has to be the turning point of something.. I am not sure what. but that was a winning moment if ever I read one.

 

All right, we mooned Darth Vader and I'm not sure I feel ashamed of it! Well, I'm ashamed because it led to me being shot in a place that made it really uncomfortable to fly, but that's beside the point. We bought the Alliance enough time to get the rest of the transports off-world because the last of them got out right from under Vader's noses.

I've never read a fic before that featured Vader being mooned.

 

Ishy, I love this character! I'm truly interested to see how she develops! Great Job!!

Patiently waiting for more...

 

MsLanna--Thanks, MsLanna. Yeah, she's officially dating Hobbie. He is a sweetie at times. And the bacta-jello is in her head, but she doesn't know that. The diversion still cracks me up.

MasterTywalker--LOL, it's something I'd certainly like to see! Glad it came off well.

Noelie--LOL, I'm getting that from a lot of people! That has to be the single most efficient distraction in the history of the ALliance. And you'll see what turning point it is. It's...interesting.

alhana_antilles--LOL, me either until I wrote one. The original plot bunny didn't specify who was to be mooned, only that they had to be high-ranking. Then I remembered www.howitshouldhaveended.com and how the Fellowship of the Ring version there had Boromir mooning Sauron. It sort of took off from there.

AvenKiel--I'm glad! She's oodles of fun to write right now. Thanks!

Day 24

Well, as expected, things did not go well for the Alliance in terms of evacuation. Since I was in the medcenter, my wingmate flew with someone else to the next staging area for the fleet. Neither she nor the transport ever arrived. I'm not sure if I hope she got captured or if she was killed. Both are too terrible to think about, but given who would have done the capturing, I find myself hoping that she died quickly.

Hobbie is getting to be very amusing, since he's still on sedatives and not entirely coherent for most of the day. He started flirting with 2-1B and I was half-offended until he started calling him Liara. Then again, I have to feel sorry for any man who's so doped up that he thinks the meddroids are attractive.

The scuttlebutt is that there are more people missing. THe main concern is over the fact that Leia Organa, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker all are missing in action.

 

Oh, it has begun! Poor Liara--caught up in the behind-the-scenes of ESB!

 

Well. Hobbie is delusional. Folks are missing. All in all this can't be a good day

 

She's becoming a Rebel wether she likes it or not--complete with Bad Girl sense of humor! Mooning Vader indeed! Not something that will ever be mentioned even in derision in Imperial propoganda, I'm thinking.

The poor girl still hasn't got to fly yet.....

Yes, Luke and Leia will be back, but both rather worse for wear. Han will be MIA for a while. Let's see what she does in the meantime.

 

They mooned Vader?! Wow, that takes guts (or, rather, butts)!

Interesting how her perspective is beginning to change a bit with exposure. I like what you're doing with this story!

 

Laine_Snowtrekker--Yes, it's definitely begun. And yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on.

Noelie--LOL, yes, he is delusional. And delirious. It's not a good day. Look for more entertainment.

Arcalian--Very much so. And she'd be lots of fun with that Bad Girl sense of humor. Oh, you'll see what comes of that. She'll fly soon--she flew escort off Hoth. You'll see what's going on with the meantime.

dm1--LOL, I'm not even going there. Glad you like the perspective stuff.

Day 25

I got out of the medcenter today and have nothing to do until tomorrow night, when we're shipping out. Moreover, one of the meddroids banned me from the medcenter. Worse, Rieekan enforced it. Something about encouraging recovery.

So, instead, I went to fix my X-wing and found that someone else had done it for me. I don't think I have a secret admirer, so either there's a good fairy wandering around or I have a mystery on my hands.

The good news is that, without a duty shift, boyfriend or repairs to do, I have little to accomplish today. I haven't heard from Rieekan about the next "report," but he's sort of preoccupied right now. Besides, I have three more days.

Day 26

Okay, so I panicked today. After all, I usually don't get comms from my editor and this came with an encryption. I saved myself some trouble and went straight to Intelligence. Since they're handling my 'case,' I figured that it would be best to be straightforward with them.

I expected it to be a bit of bureaucratic nonsense or a memo about interoffice relationships. I should have known by the encryption that it would be problematic.

I didn't expect to get fired. I CERTAINLY didn't expect that I'd get fired because one of the stormtroopers took holos of our ambush. HOW THE HECK DID MY EDITOR IDENTIFY MY BUTT?! And if he didn't, who did?!

 

ROFLMAO! Whoopsie! I guess she's a rebel now wether she likes it or not! Will she do work as part of Rebel propoganda, now?

There is *definitely* a fixation on her butt in this fic. Not that I mind.

Edit: Can I get on the PM list?

 

Oh, whatever is she going to do now?

I can't wait until I get to find out!

 

Day 27

Okay, so that I slept on it and no longer want to strangle the memory of Pali for suggesting the 'distraction' that got me fired, I've been thinking. Really, there's no reason for me to be here.

I'm an Imperial citizen.

I've never broken a law in my life...well, until the one that says you shouldn't expose yourself to an asthmatic evil incarnate in public.re

Given the survival rate of my first battle, I'm not likely to survive much longer if I do stick with the Alliance.

I'm not a revolutionary and I really don't think restoring the Republic would do much good. They elected Palpatine, after all. They needed ten thousand wizards just to keep things under control. They had all sorts of problems with taxation. Granted, we haven't eliminated Palpatine, we've got thirteen million stormtroopers and Darth Vader to keep things under control and while income taxes aren't too bad, we've got to pay tariffs on everything. But the point is, I don't believe in the Cause!

I'm just here because of an assignment that is now defunct. I played along because it was only proper that I throw myself into this with all the enthusiasm of a hungry rancor.

NOW what do I do?

 

good... question. What are you going to do?

 

Yes--a very good, soul-searching question.

Awesome, Ish. These are great.

 

Her butt got fired after less than a month? Whoa, I didn't expect that either!

It's interesting now, what is she going to do with her life now? Hmmm...

 

Um....I don't know how to break this to you my dear protagonist, but if the Death Star nuking Alderaan wasn't enough reason for you to understand that the "Cause", while not perfect, is better than the Empire, then you're not paying attention.

Anyway, you have no choice. You *can't* go back. Your Imperial backers fired you from your job. I don't think you quite understand what that means. You *aren't* an Imperial Citizen anymore; you are now officially a Rebel scum-sucking traitor. You're stuck on that side of the fence, wether you want to be or not. The only other alternative you have is to screw over both sides and become a smuggler. And somehow I don't think you wanna do that.

You're a Rebel by default, dearie. Sorry.

(In other words, great story.)

 

Doubly post...

 

Woah, she got fired?
Or even more, whoa, how DID her boss recogniuze her butt?
I didn't know there was a law against mooning Vader, or was that an impromptu adding?

And I wonder if she will try to be an *imperial citizen* again. Might proove deadly.
Let's see if Hobbie can talk her out of that. Once he gor over the med droid....

 

up?

 

Sorry, guys. I started a new job this last week and have to catch up on this now. It's been an insane time.

 

This is wonderful. I loved that line about the flirting. Now we know why Mon Mothma wasn't on Yavin or Hoth . . .

 

Your UP determines your reality.
