cool new chapter if I had time I would read it now, but I haft to go to work instead.
6246255 It disappeared in that he could feel her there and suddenly he did not, he felt a change in the Force in much the same way that Yoda could feel each and every Jedi that was killed in the Purge - he wasn't feeling them become one with the Force, he was feeling them being cut down.
48,000 words in one chapter!!!
I haven't started and already I'm getting a headache.
You know, I didn't even realize this, but cutting the clop out cut the chapter about 4,000 words shorter. I read both versions, because I can, and honestly? The clop version makes sense and advances their relationship, while not being this overblown "sex nao" horrible bit of story. So congrats on that. Also, I didn't really realize what this story was a crossover with until you brought up light sabers. I felt kind of dumb considering his first chapter worries about it being Jedi hunters taking shots at him, or the empire. Any way, a jump that requires him to go into cryo sleep is more than a jaunt across the galaxy. Unless he wasn't using a hyperdrive, and instead used normal engines, in which case it would definitely be needed.
6363675 Thanks! It was nice to wake up and that be the first thing I read today. One of the reasons it took me so long to get the chapter out - other than it's the first time I'd written clop - was that I wanted there to be a meaning behind it for both characters, Twilight because a certain unicorn villain (the reveal of who is coming up soon ) sabotaged her first forays into romance and Titus because his upbringing as a Jedi meant romantic involvement and sex was not something the Order generally approved of, as already discussed (there were a few special cases, though).
As for the cryo-sleep issue (I'm working on updating that chapter, like the other earlier ones) and in the new version it is clarified he does come out of hyperspace, though rather than one long journey he was making a multitude of smaller jumps with portions of regular sub-light travel between them which would be occurring over the course of a few days to a week or so with R6 and the IANA running the ship while he was sleeping.
6367439 Or he could be taking a trip beyond the outer rim and having Iana and R6 record everything while avoiding stars and what not. That's how I interpreted it at the time. Also, jumping a day forward, then spending a day on sub light engines, then jumping another day, and repeat would probably be the best way to hide from the Empire, because they would overshoot you by a week or twenty.
6367638 That's essentially what he was doing, but rather than exploring he was trying to pass off some information he had stolen, as alluded to in Prologue: Anomaly and mentioned to Twilight in Love Sick (in case you missed it)
Anyway, I agree that intermittent jumps would cause an Imperial pursuer difficulty, provided they didn't have a way to track his ship's magnetic signature in hyperspace, though dropping out of jumps would likely cause their sensors to have to sort through all the new magnetic readings they would pick up before they could continue pursuit.
6368753 Hence the repititive nature of going in and out of hyperspace. If nothing else, he could buy time.
6558387 Yes, the sweat thing. Science! There's a pheromone released when sweat is fresh, androstenol, which is different from the one from stale sweat, androstenone, which is the one that causes people to stink after it's been sitting on skin for a while. Androstenol is actually a pheromone that promotes (or is intended to, as humans have a good bit of free will on the matter) sexual attraction on a purely physical level which was what the human-watching ponies were picking up on because, as I see it, ponies have better senses of smell than humans which is why Twilight can detect and finds his normal non-sweaty "scent" appealing. Anyway, tying in with this (as stated in a few chapters and much to Titus' relief) one of the amenities still working on his ship at the time was his shower, which allowed him to bathe and keep the androstenone in check, at least most of the time. The possibility also exists that Twilight might just be lying that he didn't reek, too.
As to the identity of our mysterious Mysterion... I won't confirm or deny your guess, but there are subtle clues (or I tried to make them subtle) within that segment that should point to who it is.
