Beyond - Legends Welcome to the Galactic Network (Humor) (Ensemble--Luke, Mara, Han, Leia, Corran, Kyp, Pellaeon)

Necessities

Title: Welcome to the Galactic Network
Author(s): Lady-Hermione
Timeframe: NJO
Characters: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Solo, Mara Skywalker, Corran Horn, Kyp Durron, Pellaeon, random Imperials
Genre: Humor
Keywords:
Summary: Network meetings are far from as productive as they are reputed to be-- particularly when Han Solo and Corran Horn are attendants.



Author's Notes: You have absolutely no idea how much markup code went into this thing. Never again.

The New Republicans have to suffer through many stuffy meetings, but not all of them are face-to-face. In Welcome to the Galactic Network, a potential treaty is shunned in the name of virtual mayhem, much to the dismay of Ambassador Leia Organa Solo.

Welcome to the Galactic Network





Luke rubbed his eyes as he slid into the rather uncomfortable chair in front of the apartment complex?s terminal station. There were a few other occupants at the round collection of computers, most apparently viewing the galactic network for leisure purposes. He only wished he were so fortunate; having to attend an online meeting was never something to be envied for. It all too often erupted into pandemonium because no one felt terribly reserved about voicing his or her opinions over a data-input terminal. Advocates of the meeting system used this argument in favor of network meetings, stating that it gave all attendants an equal opportunity to present their views, but that so-called benefit didn?t always turn out to be particularly beneficial to resolving the meeting?s issues.

The data screen flashed blue and white before him, various planetary and galactic headlines scrolling on sidebars as his account input processed. ?Welcome, LSkywalker!? a cool female voice greeted him at last over his headphones. ?Please allow a moment for a connection to the meeting location to be made.? It was only a handful of moments before an interface manifested on the data screen with a list of information regarding the meeting?s current status, all scrolling by in mellow green type.

As soon as all of this technical information had presented itself, the in-progress

 

Lol!

That's great, absoluetly hysterical! So Han, totally Han and COrran! *grins*

:Targeter:

 

oh man, that was hilarious! And Corran's screen name............

 

Loved Corran's login name. Han's was good too. Figures he'd wreck havoc. Funny chat. Imperials weren't much for words.

 

LOL. Lady-Hermione, that was hysterical. I loved Han's name! It was perfect. And Kyp trying to explain Jaina. Very funny.

Akye

 

So funny, L-H! And I don't envy you all that mark-up coding.

 

/falls over laughingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

 

OMG, this is HYSTERICAL!!! I honestly think it's the funniest thing I've ever, ever read. I was laughing so hard. This is brilliant!!! I loved it. You have to write a sequel some day.

Kriff, I loved Han and Corran in this. Terrific!

 

HAHHAAHAH

I read it again, and still was laughting uncontrolbly.

 

*SNICKERSNICKERSPLORFSNICKER*

That was good. That was REAL good. Many are the chat-room fics coming out in the Star Wars fandom, and this one really shines as one of the few that's funny AND clean. Han was a laugh a minute once he gained modly powers!!

 

This was too funny! I have not had a good laugh like that in a long time!!!

Great characterization of Han and Leia! More!

 

Yeah, Sebulba has a point.



but L-H has dont other funny chat room ones.

 

I could totally picture Leia in her frustration. If I were her I would be on the next ship to get Han. *laughs hard*

 

Daughter! Somehow, I missed this! Musta been that argument I had with my ex-husband. (DON'T get me started. )

Anyway, this definitely cheered me up. I was laughing so hard at Corran's screen name! And then when he came back as "Hornier!" Too, too funny.

Why on Coruscant would Leia even invite Han and Corran to one of these meetings is beyond me. But it does make for a hilarious story! I loved the Imperials all sounding like clones of one another...hmmm, maybe they WERE? I thought Mara gave up kinda easy, though. She'll probably help Leia in making Han sorry, I'll bet.

And you have Kyp with Jaina! That makes me so happy! I can't stand Jag. (Hmm, they need a [face-puking] emoticon....)

This was so wonderful! I can't wait to see what you have for us next!

 

Ah, the subtleties of diplomacy!

You managed to capture the characters even before they began to interact. Han and Corran both had laugh-out-loud screen names, while Leia, Mara, and Luke had relatively benign ones. And then when the Imperials showed up as ImperialRep01, ImperialRep02, etc., I was again giggling insanely, which I don't do very often. (Complete Aside: I don't know if this has occurred to anyone else, and I certainly don't know how to use it, but does anyone see Kyp's last name and immediately think of the paint store chain? Sorry. I'll get back to the review now.)

Han with administrative privileges is enough to intimidate even the most well-trained Chief of State. Pellaeon's, "We are highly offended at the New Republic?s display of immaturity and lack of propriety," was just classic. Sorry, Admiral, but you ain't seen nothin' yet.

I loved the end, with Kyp and Jaina (and somewhat oblivious Han). All in all, an entertaining and original piece of writing!

 

Hermie! Woohoo! I *love* stories like this, and this is the best one I've ever seen!

 

LOL!! That was so great!! Online chats are so fun!! I always wondered what would go on if some of our fave characters got together!! Corran was great but Han was better!! If Leia could have only jumped through the comp!

 

Oh..my..aching...belly!! Jenny, this was absolutely brilliant!!!! Has to be one of my favorites of your work!!!

This is so much like little warnings that we have nowadays!!

<ImperialRep01> Apology accepted.

<ImperialRep02> Apology accepted.

<ImperialRep03> Apology accepted.

<ImperialRep04> Apology accepted.

<ImperialRep05> Apology accepted.

These guys were great!!

NOTE: Hornier has entered the room.

*falls off chair laughing*

Where do you come up with these fantastic ideas??!! This was priceless!!!

 

I didn't expect to get such a relatively large response on this odd little piece. I'm glad you all enjoyed it!


CodeName_Targeter: Thank you! Glad you liked it. I tend to give Corran a more mischeivous disposition than he has in the EU, but I rather like him as a companion to Han's troublemaking.

Jedi_Liz:Thanks! That name just seemed like something a guy would use. Glad you enjoyed.

RebelMom:Han and Corran... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! Those Imperials just don't know how to cut loose and have some fun like our Rebels. Glad you liked it!

AkyeRae:Thank you, and I'm happy that you enjoyed it! Kyp better conjure up some excuses, ASAP.

Jedi-2B:Thanks! I thought I was going to rip my hair out by the fifty-second time I was typing "[/color]..." Glad you liked it.

_3MD_PsychoSniper: Ya know, Snipe, no matter how silly one of my concepts may be, I can always count on you to laugh at it anyway. lol Thanks... I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Enelya_Sol:Ever? Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm gonna have to decline doing a sequel... for one, too much of a(n) (arguably) good thing can ruin it, and two, too much markup code!

_3MD_PsychoSniper: You again? Always happy to provide one with their daily dose of laughter...

Sebulba2179:If I was present, I would have left the very moment that the system alerted me of Han's administrative powers. Thanks so much; glad you liked it. I've seen a few of these types of fics (none here, elsewhere), but they never seem to have a story behind them. It always left me wondering, "Well WHY are they all in the chat room in the first place?" Hence, the meeting. I felt they needed a reason to be there to make it believable (or halfway so, at least.). I'm glad you think my attempt makes the bill

Sologirl: Well, I'm glad to give you your long-needed laughter. Thanks... it sure isnt easy to characterize in a chat room piece!

_3MD_PsychoSniper: Thank you, yet again.

Earwen_Lightrider: Han better watch his back. Glad you enjoyed!

kayladie97:Mom! I'm sorry that you got into an argument, but I'm very glad that this helped to cheer you up. I love to hear things like that-- not that you got into an argument, but that this story helped cheer you up-- because it just shows that everything is for a reason. I didn't know why I had the sudden strong impulse to create and post a silly story; God works in mysterious ways.

Though, now that I think about it, He probably didn't find the Hornie/Hornier joke quite as funny as you did.

They aren't clones, just mindless beings who allow the Empire's strict codes to think for them. Mara didn't come back because she knows how to pick her battles: Han with mod powers is something that can't be conquered. She got him later on for it, surely, along with the wrath of Leia. Poor Han.

I've never read anything with Jag, but I don't like him either from what I hear about him. I don't like the thought of Jaina or Jacen with anyone though... I still think of them as the baby twins! I like the older books much better, when everyone was young and (comparatively) happy and healthy. If she has to be with anyone, I'd think Kyp is the most interesting prospect to pursue.

Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed it, Mom.




Xaara: Pellaeon truly has no idea, does he?
I debated for awhile on the names for Luke, Leia, and Mara, but Han and Corran's were instant things. I knew that they just couldn't have mundane titles.
I wasn't sure what to do with the Imperials because I know little about the current Empire, but I'm glad the Imperial clone-type system of representatives seemed to go over well. It was actually my little cousin, whom hung over my shoulder as I wrote this, that suggested that they all say the same thing constantly. I've never heard of a Durron paint store... lol... but if I had, I would certainly think of Kyp each time I he

 

As soon as this idea sprouted in my mind, it was accompanied by the assumption of, "Bella would especially love that." I thought this one seemed like your type of thing.

Aww...you was tinking uff me!! How very sweet of you! *hugs*

And by the way, my brother read this and was laughing out loud at parts of it. (He also read the second Male Bonding piece) Your fame is spreading beyond the boards!!

 

<AmbassadorLOS> General Solo, you can reinstate my administrative abilities, please.

<FlyinSolo> I know I can

<FlyinSolo> Thing is, I aint goin to

<Hornier> lmao


That;s the best!

 

This was just hilarious. Thanks for all your hard work with the mark up codes.

 

Upping this so more people can see it!

:Targeter:

 

you have a heck of a lot of time on your hands dont you?

 

This was so hilarious LOL
