Kala
My jaw dropped, and I just stared for a moment. I heard the glass shatter as Ailyn dropped her glass, and I said "Wait....if they were cutting all ties with the GA...would that mean..........." I said and paused for a moment
I continued mentally through my bond with Sandra "closing the Gateway?" I asked mentally, nervous

Sandra
'Quite possibly...' I agreed numbly. 'Even with the advanced hyperdrives the EDF uses in it's warships, nearly all contact with the GA would grind to a halt, effectively it'd be like before Earth encountered Revan and his companions again....' I shivered, and leaned into Kala.

Mike
I stood off to one side, shoving my hands into my pockets. First it seemed like a few specific individuals--well, two at least--wanted to strangle each other, and now this. I drew in a deep breath, and let it out in a long, slow sigh.
Why couldn't the galaxy just stay peaceful? Now it seemed there were problems arising within the GA--more than one, in fact.
Electra cleared her throat softly, and I turned to look at her. This was the first time since we'd talked about Mary Fairlight's passing away that she had made a sound. "This sounds... very serious," she said slowly. "This could... effect everything."
Yeah, sis, I thought at her. You always know how to state the obvious, don't you? And you're the queen of underestimation.
I was glad I hadn't spoken that thought aloud.

Rylee stared at John hard. "Words are words," she said. "I learned that when my mother told me she loved me. In truth, she wanted to send me the highest bidder. What's your story?"[/i] Brown burls fell behind her back as she went back to a normal seating position. "You just had Jaing call you a son of a bitch. Know what that means? He and Jaden are probably fighting in the kitchen to see who gets to punch you first. If you had insulted Calvin, or Shalin, you wouldn't have seen tomorrow"
And she stood to help clean up, retreating back into isolation. Jaden smiled from the doorway. That's my girl, she thought, and withdrew to the balcony.
--
Jaing had been standing next to Selena on the balcony overlooking Coruscant's traffic. Weren't really looking, exactly. Thinking. Daydreaming. Whatever you chose to call it. He was home. For now.

Kala
"But Sandra...this can't happen. Our son lives in this Galaxy, my brother lives in this Galaxy, my neice and my newphew and my great-niece, and our old freinds....this can't happen Sandra...the UNE would have to be pushed to extremes for that to happen, wouldn't they? I know Grant and most likely the Senate of the UNE is upset but not enough to close down the Gateway?" I said to her mentally with much panic

Sandra
I held Kala close against me and tried to ease her panic. Admittedly, I was barely any better, but I felt I needed to make the effort.
John
I felt very, very small now. Slowly, I began to bang my head on the table. "Stupid, stupid, stupid..." I repeated.
Andrew
I put my hand over my face for a moment, and sighed. "Mike, Electra? We need to talk. You'd better come as wel, Ailyn..."

Mike
I glanced at my father, then I exchanged glances with my sister. "Uh... okay," Electra said, shrugging her shoulders a little. I shrugged in return, and both of us moved to join our Dad.

Ailyn
I raised an eyebrow at Andy "Talk? All of us? About what?" I said
After a moment I saw he wasn't going to budge from just standing there, and I sighed as I put the last of the glass I broke into the trash. Then after checking on last time, I walked out of the dining area and into one of the open guest chambers. "What is it, Andy?" I asked as I set down in a chair, and rested my head on my right hand

Andrew
"I kow that you've got some problems with Ailyn." I said to Mike and Electra. "I don't know what they are, but we're going to sort hem all out, here and now; I don't want any problems being allowed to fester."

Electra
I pressed my lips into a thin line, glancing down at the floor for a moment. Then I glanced over at Ailyn. "There aren't any problems," I said, just a bit stiffly. Although I knew Dad wasn't fooled, nor was my brother.
Mike
I stuffed my hands deeper into my pockerts, fingering a couple of credit chips that were lingering in my left one. Liar, I thought to Electra--this time, my thought made it through the Bond we shared, and she turned to glare at me. I'm no more of a liar than YOU are! she returned.
I turned away from her, mentally blocking her out the best I could. The last thing I needed right now was to get into a mental battle with my sister.
