#summation

Hypothetically you should not reveal such things should your summations lead to unsavoury outcomes.

What I mean is: were I to answer you, such things could be used to some awful advantage. Or, used as leverage against myself. Neither, of which, are preferable.

Chapter 19

the Springhawk jumps into yet another battle

they are able to help a vessel that just so happen to know where the Vagaari pirate base is 

sure you do, bub

Fsir, the guy (alien?) who runs the Saltbarrel (a ha ha, take his story with a grain of salt) is all for attacking the base directly but Thrawn urges patience, wanting to collect information first 

There is some back and forth with Thrawn asking for a tour of the vessel and Fsir being hesitant. Thrawn hits him up with this proposition

“Perhaps your superiors could be persuaded to look upon it as payment for our rescue of their people and secrets,” Thrawn suggested. “In addition, a visit would give you the opportunity to see if your legends of the Chiss are accurate.”  “Who suggested we even have legends of the Chiss?” Thrawn smiled. “Come now, Captain. Everyone in the near reaches of the Chaos has legends of the Chiss.” Fsir sighed. “Very well, Senior Captain.” 

this will pay off later, I am sure 

anyway, back to Senior Aide Lakjiip, who is really surprised to see Lakinda arrive 

and Lakinda is immediately suspicious that though the call came from a Patriel, it was “a mere Councilor’s senior aide passing out the duty assignments.” 

Lakinda asks where Patriel Lakooni is and Lakjiip feeds her a b.s. line about the Patriel “talking” with Councilor Lakuviv in his office

When Lakjiip reveals the Agbui story, Lakinda calls it “unbelievable” and feels the possibilities are both tremendous and ominous 

Lakinda feels that Lakjiip really wants the Xoldak family back in high status 

as does Lakinda, but she isn’t a fool about it 

Memories VII

Qilori thinks to himself that Jixtus - with him covered head to toe in a black robe - that he looks like “any other biped alien. Or for that matter, a statue, a mannequin, or even one of the mechanical robotics of lesser space legends.”

I am really looking forward to the day when C3PO meets Thrawn 

Qilori tries to explain why he was (by his count, at least six hours) late and there is this great exchange: “I was on a job, and I thought abandoning it would bring attention you probably wouldn’t want.” “As well as damaging your professional reputation?” Jixtus suggested.  “My reputation is important,” Qilori said. “Not just to me, but to you as well. Any future job you want me to do-” “Any future jobs will depend on how well you complete this one,” Jixtus interrupted calmly. “So will any future. You understand?”  Qilori’s cheek winglets twitched. “I would very much like to have a future,” he managed. “Good,” Jixtus said. “Then we shall have no problem with motivation.” 

Qilori - always looking out for his skin and winglets - doesn’t want to be anywhere near any battle and especially does not want to be tangeled up with Thrawn

Jixtus promises to make his “own arrangements for this Thrawn. Hints and rumors in the right ears should remove him a sufficient distance from Haplif’s web.”

Jixtus, through an almost casual questioning of Qilori, figures out that “either the Chiss have their own group of navigators, some aliens hidden on an obscure world of the Ascendancy...” He paused. “Or they have a means of finding their way through the Chaos without navigator assistance.”

He is awfully close to the truth

also the Sith Wars from Legends is back in canon baby!!!

this just makes me want a Revan movie series so bad 

Turns out Qilori was pretty earlier and Jixtus let him stew in his own fear

Jixtus is a petty d i c k  SPOILERS FROM HERE ON 

Hi, it’s me *waves while smiling awkwardly*

So I’ve decided that I’m going to write a like, full fledge fan fiction story. Oof

It’s going to based off the 100, it will be Bellamy x Reader, and I’ll be posting a new chapter every Saturday. (So expect the first one this Saturday!)

It’s called All I Have and will be based off season 3 and so on

Here’s my attempt at a summary:

Pike had been like a father to you ever since you came to Earth and lost the last person that you had. When the Ark finds your group, you meet a boy that seems to have lost just as much as you. You find yourself reluctantly growing close as you follow Pike, no matter how far he goes. But like all good things, it comes to an end. Will Pike become the last thing you have or will Bellamy replace this emptiness?
