Thank you, it was lots of fun to do.rhoenix wrote:The fight between Annika and Mara Jade, Sisko and the Emperor, and the fairy tale that Annika is telling Sebastian...all perfectly done.
Starting tomorrow is Paradise Lost, and it will require seatbelts because of the speed it's going to be hitting at:rhoenix wrote: Excellent work, Sonnenburg. I look forward to what else you have to redux.
Who were the 5? I was assuming they are the 5 Q tested? Going by Sisko's comments in the last chapter, I'd guess Sisko was the one who created and Seven is the light. I'd guess Janway would be the dark. That would leave Picard and Data. Would Data be the one who destroyed and Picard the one who preserved?Picard looked up at him, and gave the most knowing grin of his life. “Go right ahead, your highness,” he said. “But if you do... I shall become more powerful than even you can possibly imagine.” The Emperor glared at him, but it changed nothing. “Five... being the sum of two and three. The light and the dark, the two that will struggle. And the three: the one who created, the one who preserved, and the one who destroyed.” He chuckled a little. “I’m afraid there is no room for you among the five, your highness... though we thank you for playing the part that destiny required.”
. For those that have read all six stories, I think it's easy to see why Picard laughs, that even though the man looks like a giant he is in truth very small in the grand scheme.Star Empire wrote:Great chapters!!
I especially liked Picard's death. Palpatine can chide him, but in the end, it is he who is far more a pawn in destiny's game than Picard (who is willing to accept, not demand his role).
They were the 5 Q tested, and this is pretty much it, yes. In mythology, the light and dark as enemies is obviously common; Seven is the light because she offered love to that which came through the wormhole, Janeway is the dark because she offered hate. The thing about the light and the dark is that it very easily can be either way; it was just as likely that Seven could have succumbed to darkness instead, but she didn't.Star Empire wrote: Who were the 5?

Thank you very much. This has been a very long and hard project, but it's been a lot of fun at the same time.Star Empire wrote: I really did forget just how good these chapters were. Sisko taking over Palpatines body was a tremendously good idea. I know it was a ton of work, but thanks so much for the rewrites. I can't believe you rewrote all three of them, and I haven't sent a new chapter of mine in since December
From the sounds of it, you didn't have too much editing to do with the last installment, if it's going to be wrapped up and done with in only a week.Sonnenburg wrote:One week from today and the door closes on this for good, and as I finish these up I feel that this is something I can be proud of, that I saw it to fullest flower. Barring some ridiculous pipedream, I've taken it as far as I feel I can, and that's a very satisfying feeling. And it also has reminded me why I wanted to tell the stories of these characters so much, because of how much I liked them. As strange as it is, there's something satisfying in giving Luke and Seven the one universe where they were allowed to be together.
Reabsorbing that armor would have taken time, and it was likely that the cloak blocked her entire body from the Force, and that'd include Sebastian. She could have forgotten to do so as well, or maybe to avoid detection by the Emperor.Crazedwraith wrote:I do have two questions about the final chapter: Annika shuts her force prescence down, when she fights Darth Whind leading Luke et al to assume she's dead. Why couldn't he still sense Sebastion's prescence? And also why didn't Annika drop her force cloak after Whind was dead? Letting Luke know she was alive?
Like Dalton said, she wasn't really thinking about it. She had no idea Luke was on the planet until Ben told her, and so she never considered that he might have thought she had died. When she spoke to Ben, then her only thought was to run, she didn't really put it together until she saw the ship leaving.Crazedwraith wrote:I do have two questions about the final chapter: Annika shuts her force prescence down, when she fights Darth Whind leading Luke et al to assume she's dead.

Well, her rant that the Empire wouldn't have attacked if the Feddies hadn't bulked up Starfleet was stupidly naive, and her idea that Starfleet shouldn't be military is just plain stupid. And did she just take the droids into the void between galaxies?Sonnenburg wrote:That's a first; I don't think anyone's commented on her.Chris OFarrell wrote:You know, I really hate Price
Can even Star Wars ships survive such a journey?
Well, the outbound flight project was suposed to. And the Vong came from another galaxy. So I'd say yes.Trogdor wrote:Can even Star Wars ships survive such a journey?

Like Prozac the Robert said, it was my understanding that it must be possible because of Outbound Flight.Trogdor wrote: And did she just take the droids into the void between galaxies?

I'm quite happy with the fate of the protector myself. It perhaps ought to have picked up a few more people before leaving, and maybe a few more ships, but it's otherwise cool.
