Luke says:
Hey!

Host Adm_Piett says:
Though I wanted to make sure that I would be able to give you the perfect gift...and realizing that the only thing that would be perfect would be to unite all the Imperial Factions...I have done so..but with the experimental equipment that all the ships have on them...I want to give you the galaxy if possible

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< hey luke ! >>

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
I wish to have the galaxy... but, first.. you will know who it is I adored..

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
Maybe it is also what caused my madness...

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
<<hey Luke :) >>

Host Adm_Piett says:
Palpatine ??

Host Luke says:
<< Hey Piett, Iceheart! :) >>

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
No, not Palpatine..

Host Adm_Piett says:
Skywalker

Host Ysanne_Isard sighs

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
Yes, the only one who could defeat me.. I longed for him so.

Host Luke thinks:
What the heck did I walk into?

Host Ysanne_Isard just admitted I loved you, Luke, lol

Host Adm_Piett lowers head and holds back a sigh...still thinking

Host Luke says:
Ooooo.

Host Adm_Piett can see it now Ysanne Skywalker <<>>

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
<<he's married!! lol>>

Host Ysanne_Isard kneels and stares at the floor

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< ya never heard of devorcies >>

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
You are the only one who knows..

Host Adm_Piett knows i spelled devorices wrong

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
I pray Skywal.. Luke can never feel it.. I fear he is far too perceptive, though.

Host Adm_Piett looks at her...though keeps my head lowered

Host Ysanne_Isard stands and faces Piett lithely, "It will never happen. I do not know if I could love another."

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
He is of the light, and I am dark. We could never be, you see? It is my nature to chase what I cannot grasp.

Host Adm_Piett nods to her.." I understand.. " :: and walks off, though thinking the same of trying to get what is out of my reach::

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< i wonder if luke wants any popcorn >>

Host Ysanne_Isard watches him leave and stands there a moment, just staring

Host Luke says:
<< Got some already!  lol! >>

Host Adm_Piett exits the main hall and turns a corridor..falling back against a wall...and then just sighs

Host Ysanne_Isard feels herself slipping and hardens her thoughts, goes back to her practices

Host Adm_Piett goes and heads to the hanger bay

Host Ysanne_Isard finishes a while later and contacts Piett

Host Adm_Piett says:
:: Comm :: yes ??

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
We must officiate the non-agression pact for them to take us seriously. Contact someone on Coruscant and route it to me, please. And then, if you would join me.

Host Adm_Piett sighs.. " Yes Mistress.. " turns and heads for the bridge

Host Ysanne_Isard ahems Luke, hehe

Host Luke says:
<< Time to even things out. >>

Han (Han@on-tor-blr-ahp-12-57.look.ca) has joined the conversation.

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< put the popcorn and soda down...clean your fingers and then get ready to type ::

Host Adm_Piett says:
:: = >>

Host Adm_Piett enters bridge and orders Communication officer to open a channel to Coruscant

Host Luke sits in his office, then hears the comm beeping, activates a terminal:  This is General Skywalker.

Host Ysanne_Isard enters the bridge and stands behind Piett

Host Han takes care of the kids in his apartment

Host Adm_Piett looks up and sees Skywalker..then looks as normal.. " Ysanne Isard wishes to speak to you "

Host Luke says:
Okay.

Host Ysanne_Isard steps forward, next to Piett

Host Adm_Piett steps back

Host Luke nods his head:  Madame Isard.

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< oooo no leia...she is gonna be pissed !! >>

Host Ysanne_Isard 's glance wavers slightly as she looks at Skywalker, "General. I feel it would be in the best interests for the both of our peoples to officiate this non-agression pact in person."

Host Luke says:
The Chief of State had similar wishes.  I feel that would the wisest course of action as well.  Where would you like to meet?

Host Adm_Piett moves out of sight..then turns and heads to the TL

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
I am open to suggestions.

Host Adm_Piett then enters and orders it to go down to the Hanger bay level

Host Luke says:
How about a neutral site?  Let's say on Dantooine?

Leia (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup260.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has joined the conversation.

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
I would say that is fair enough.

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
I shall meet you there. Isard out.

Host Luke cuts the comm

Host Adm_Piett watches as the TL comes to a stop..and steps out and looks for my personal fighter

Host Leia exits the senate meeting and rubs her forehead, undoes the braids in her hair

Host Luke wonders how he can slip out unnoticed

Host Leia says:
<<You can't! hehe>>

Host Han plays with the twins in their apartment

Host Leia talks with her advisor until she arrives at her apartment and enters

Host Luke goes to his apartment, leaves a message with Callista, tells Threepio to look after Lanal, brings Artoo with him to the hanger deck

Host Adm_Piett says:
:: Officer :: Sir ??  I was not aware of any inspections... I...  :: Myself :: It is not an inspection... I must... go for some time...and you will tell no one..  :: Officer ::  Uhh... Yes sir

Host Adm_Piett opens the canopy of the Storm Fighter..modified a bit..and steps in

Host Han hears Leia enter, continues playing with the twins

Host Leia hears peals of laughter and walks into their room, sees Han playing with the twins and smiles

Host Luke feels a tug on his pant leg, looks back at Artoo:  What is it?

Host Adm_Piett activates engines and takes off..the fighter exits the hanger bay of the Super Class ship..and jumps to hyperspace...

Host Ysanne_Isard orders her crew to engage hyperspeed towards Dantooine

Host Luke watches Artoo roll over to a comm terminal, and sends a signal to Han and Leia's apartment:  Artoo stop!!

Host Han looks over, sees Leia, smiles:  Hi!

Host Leia says:
Hey, love. ::smiles:: Oh, message.. hmm

Host Leia turns and looks at the terminal

Host Leia says:
::grimaces:: Luke is WHAT?!

Host Han says:
What's going on?

Host Luke says:
Artoo...

Host Adm_Piett leans back and engages coordinates beyond the Outer Rim territories

Host Luke turns and walks towards the shuttle bay, mutters:  So much for taking the X-Wing.

Host Leia says:
Arto sent a message, saying Luke is meeting the imperial navy at Dantooine.. without me..

Host Leia says:
+o

Host Han says:
I'll drop the twins off with Threepio in Luke's apartment, and we'll go after him in the Falcon.

Host Ysanne_Isard takes her place at the head of the bridge and sits, hands folded in her lap

Host Han picks up the twins

Host Leia says:
No, he hasn't left... I think we can catch him if we can get the twins to Threepio soon enough..

Host Luke enters the shuttle bay, climbs into a shuttle

Host Han says:
Right, let's go.

Host Leia thinks: Luke, don't you dare!

Host Han says:
You go after Luke and stall him, I'll drop the kids off and meet you there.

Host Luke hears Leia, hesitates for a few moments, then activates the systems

Host Leia says:
Alright.. I'll meet you at the shutte bay..

Host Han runs out the door and down the hall with the twins

Host Leia runs out of their apartment down tot he shuttle bay

Host Leia thinks: Luke, don't do it!!!

Host Han drops the twins off with Threepio, then runs to the shuttle bay

Host Luke can sense that both Han and Leia are on their way, shuts down the systems, exits the shuttle, waits for them

Host Leia enters the bay and looks at Luke leaning against a shuttle

Host Leia says:
Luke Skywalker, how dare you think of leaving without me!

Host Luke says:
I was just going to make sure that the Imperials keep their word.  A safety precaution to make sure that we weren't sending our Chief of State into a trap.

Host Han enters the bay and runs towards Luke and Leia, points a finger at Luke:  You got a lot of nerve, buddy!

Host Leia sighs and crosses her arms

Host Leia says:
Luke, you were going to go and do it on your own..

Host Adm_Piett thinks and then sinks down into the chair and lowers head...fighter continuing on course

Host Luke says:
I was going to do as I said before.  Make sure the area is safe, nothing more.

Host Leia says:
Why didn't you tell me they contacted you?

Host Luke says:
It was spur of the moment decision, I had to act on it.

Host Han says:
Why do I not believe you?

Host Leia crosses her arms and thinks: Luke, you do not lie well..

Host Luke turns to Han:  Maybe your Corellian stubbornness is interfering in your rational thought.

Host Leia says:
Luke, that's not the truth, and you know it.

Host Han says:
That's it....

Host Han goes to punch Luke

Host Luke steps to one side

Host Han drops his hand to his side:  Forget it.

Host Leia says:
Han, that's not the answer..

Host Leia says:
Luke, what is going on with you? You're closing yourself off to me..

Host Luke says:
Maybe I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself rather than have people poke around at them.

Host Han says:
I find this hard to believe coming from you, Luke.

Host Leia says:
I never poke around at your thoughts, and you know it! You've been acting awfully strange lately, ever since you escaped from Empress Isard.

Host Luke says:
Well, if we're all here, we might as well get going.

Host Leia says:
We are not going until I know you're alright.

Host Han says:
Iceheart's probably controlling him.  I say we go and leave him behind.

Host Leia says:
She's done something to him.. that much is apparent.

Host Han says:
Maybe he ate something that she made herself.

Host Leia says:
Luke, did you eat their food there?

Host Luke says:
I have no idea what you two are talking about.

Host Luke says:
They did feed me, yes.

Host Leia says:
I wonder...

Host Han looks at Leia:  Med bay?

Host Luke says:
Now wait a minute...

Host Leia says:
I think a quick scan would be best.

Host Luke says:
Let's not jump to conclusions...

Host Ysanne_Isard arrives at Dantooine and waits

Host Leia says:
We're not jumping to conclusions, merely checking out the possibilities..

Host Han grabs Luke's arm:  Come on, Kid, we're going to the doctor.

Host Luke says:
No!  They're waiting!  It's our chance to make peace!  We have to go now!

Host Adm_Piett watches as the fighter comes out of hyperspace beyond the Outer Rim Territory

Host Leia says:
They will wait, I assure you.

Host Adm_Piett tries to locate a planet and then finds one..altering course for a landing

Host Han says:
My way is faster.

Host Han picks up Luke

Host Luke struggles against Han:  Put me down!!

Host Adm_Piett detects a livable planet and lands the fighter..

Host Han holds Luke over his shoulder, looks at Leia:  Now we can go.

Host Han walks towards the med bay

Host Ysanne_Isard (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup260.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has left the conversation.

Host Adm_Piett opens the canopy and breaths the air..." Well at least I won't die by the air.. " :: steps out ::

Host Luke looks up, sees Leia:  Tell your husband to put me down!

Host Leia (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup260.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has left the conversation.

Host Adm_Piett walks around

Host Luke says:
<< Or not.  Pause sim. >>

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< figured...she got moofied >>

Host Adm_Piett thinks well at least i will be able to think clearly for a bit...hehehehehehe

Leia (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup213.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has joined the conversation.

Host Han says:
<< How do I log this for Mara? >>

Host Leia says:
<<ack!>>

Host Leia says:
<<file, save>>

Host Adm_Piett says:
<< wb >>

Host Leia says:
<<ty>>

Host Han says:
<< Thanks! >>

Host Han walks with Luke over his shoulder to the med bay

Host Leia sighs and watches Luke's struggle

Host Luke looks up at Leia:  Tell your husband to put me down now!

Host Leia says:
Only if you promise to come with us to the med bay peacefully.

Host Luke sighs and nods:  All right, I promise.

Host Leia says:
Alright, let him down, Han.

Host Han sets Luke down hard on his own two feet:  Now behave!

Host Han gestures down the hall, looks at Luke:  After you, Kid!

Host Luke looks at Han, then back at Leia, then walks down the hall towards the med bay

Host Adm_Piett wanders around the planet's surface until I come to a mighty waterfall and lake..which lies surrounded by a dense and tall jungle

Host Leia follows behind Luke, walking to the med bay, and trying to feel what is wrong

Host Han glances at Leia, then follows behind them

Host Luke enters the med bay, goes into a room, sits on the bed, looks at Han and Leia

Host Leia enters, turns to Han

Host Leia says:
If you'd do the honors..

Host Adm_Piett sits down on a large boulder and relaxes...and feels at peace for the time being

Host Han enters, shakes his head:  I don't think so.

Host Leia snaps, "Han, just do it."

Host Han says:
All right, all right...

Host Luke lies down on the bed and waits

Host Han runs the scanner over Luke

Host Leia leans against a bulkhead and stares at Luke

Host Han says:
Uh oh...

Host Leia says:
Hmmm?

Host Han reaches over, turns on a monitor, points to the unusual part:  Some type of fungus attached to a part of the brain, the lungs and the stomach.

Host Leia says:
What are its properties? Is it mind altering? Is this what could be making him so.. shut out?

Host Han says:
It could be.  The computer library doesn't have anything on it.  But it completely coats the stomach tissue.

Host Han looks down at Luke:  When was the last time you ate?

Host Adm_Piett must go

Host Leia says:
<<awww.. bye Piett>>

Host Han says:
<< Bye bye Piett! >>

Host Adm_Piett says:
bye leia...bye all

Host Adm_Piett (Cpt-Severi@ct-hartford-us1123.javanet.com) has left the conversation.

Host Luke says:
I don't see how this has any point ...

Host Leia says:
You are different, Luke. What is she doing to you?

Host Luke says:
I don't know.

Host Han says:
When was the last time you ate, Luke?

Host Luke says:
The last time I had a full meal was ... ::mutters:: ... when I was Isard's prisoner.

Host Leia says:
My gods, Luke... she has you under some sort of power..

Host Han says:
But I've seen you eat after you got back... I don't get it.

Host Luke sighs:  The virus hadn't begun to fully develop until a few days ago.  A very painful process it was, to eat food.

Host Leia says:
Why didn't you tel us? How are you feeling now?

Host Leia says:
+l

Host Luke says:
Weak.  So very tired.  This virus is different than any I've seen.  I'm constantly using the Force directly to combat it, to drive it away.

Host Leia says:
Is it force related, then?

Host Luke nods slowly

Host Leia says:
Could it be.. altering your medichlorians <sp?>?

Host Han says:
Good god...

Host Leia says:
She's.. she's using you..

Host Luke says:
It interacts with the midichlorians, yes.  It is slowly killing them, however.

Host Leia says:
Damnit, Luke.. how can we get rid of this virus? You! Med droid! Get everyone expendable to start working on the cure to this virus!

Host Luke says:
I didn't want to tell you because I knew how you would be worried, and I thought I could fight this on my own.

Ysanne_Isard (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup213.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has joined the conversation.

Host Leia says:
Everyone needs help, even Master Jedi..

Host Han hands a data pad to the medics and they start working

Host Luke smiles a little:  I can see that now.

Host Ysanne_Isard sighs and crosses her legs, thinks: Luke.. why have you not arrived?

Host Leia says:
Lay down and let the droids tend to you, alright?

Host Leia says:
Conserve your strength, so you can fight.

Host Luke sighs, and nods

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
~Skywalker, you are disobeying me.. report to Dantooine..~

Host Luke reaches up, grips Han's arm:  Dantooine, must go!!

Host Leia is in another room, helping the meds

Host Han winces a little at the strength of Luke's grip:  Kid, let go!!!

Host Luke winces and holds his head with his other head, whispers:  I'm trying...

Host Han says:
Leia!!!

Host Luke starts to climb out of bed

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
~Come to me... do whatever you must do...~

Host Leia says:
I'm coming!!

Host Leia runs to Luke's room and sees him trying to scramble out of bed

Host Luke takes Han's blaster, aims at him:  Stay back!

Host Han says:
Hey Luke!

Host Leia says:
Luke, don't!

Host Luke aims blaster at Leia, gestures to the corner:  Over there!

Host Leia says:
Luke, fight it!

Host Luke says:
Over there!

Host Han says:
Luke, stop it!!

Host Leia bites her lip and stares at him, concedes to defeat and walks to the corner, stands

Host Luke holds the blaster in a shaking hand, looks a little insane:  I'm going to Dantooine!  And don't you dare try to stop me!

Host Luke exits the room, runs down the corridor, and goes back to the shuttle bay

Host Leia says:
Come on!!

Host Leia runs out of the room and to the shuttle bay

Host Han pulls out a spare blaster from his boot, runs after Luke

Host Luke runs up into a shuttle, closes it, activates the systems

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
~Good... we shall soon be together, you and I, Jedi...~

Host Han says:
We don't have time for this.

Host Han fires the blaster at the fuel pod

Host Leia says:
Han, we don't want to kill him!

Host Han says:
I know what I'm doing.

Host Han fires another blast at the power systems

Host Leia sighs and crosses her arms

Host Luke looks around him as the cockpit goes dark, slams his hands against the controls:  Dammit!

Host Han points to Leia:  Get ready to catch him if he comes running out!

Host Leia says:
Right..

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
~Steal the Falcon...~

Host Han fires a blast at the hatch

Host Luke jumps down, kicks at Han, runs towards the Falcon

Host Han changes the setting on the blaster, aims at Luke

Host Leia runs after Luke and waves her hand, tries to trip him up

Host Luke falls face first to the ground, looks back at Leia

Host Ysanne_Isard says:
~Feel the Force flow from me to yourself.. you are strong.. do not let them get to you!~

Host Leia holds out her hand

Host Leia says:
Stay there.. do not move, brother.

Host Luke winces:  Leia ... I don't want to hurt you!

Host Leia says:
By leaving, you will hurt me!

Host Luke shakes his head, trying to clear it

Host Han throws down the blaster, goes to stand beside Leia, holds out his hand:  Hey Luke, come on back!

Host Leia says:
ack, gtg!

Host Luke says:
<< Ack!! >>

Host Luke says:
<< I'll log this for Mara, she'll like it! >>

Host Luke says:
<< So, file then save? >>

Host Luke says:
There we go.

Host Ysanne_Isard (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup213.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has left the conversation.

Host Leia (~siliconpi@usr29-dialup213.mix1.Bloomington.cw.net) has left the conversation.

Host Luke says:
<< Hey, it worked, I actually logged it!! >>
