If you'd seen what they have planned on the ARSD (Adam's board), Kresh, whoa. They've got everything planned out.
- Ra

Nice to know we have supportive fans.

PS: Guess we better not disappoint them or screw up, Adam.

I DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!! *closes his eyes tightly while covering his ears*

I never said spoilers. Why would I want spoil the fun?

No, Ra. Your reply to my 'no-spoiler' post should be like this:

" So Kresh, here's the complete story on the duel. See, first Lord Adam is going to.... "

Then I would scream.

[Ra]

If you insist...

No! I would never turn myself to the Dark Side!

OOC: by the way, have you seen my 'anti-war' demonstration in the STGOD thread?

[Ra]

No blood for oil! Er... Borg stuff... something...

Oh, and actually the spoilerized text ain't jack. I'm not posting actual spoilers of The Duel, no matter how hard someone asks.
- Ra

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

No blood for oil! Er... Borg stuff... something...

Did you see the text on the yellow balloon?

[Ra]

ROTFLMAO!

But I wonder if he even has something to castrate after all those Borg modifications... After all, the only organic part of the Borg Queen was her head and shoulders. The rest was a robot body.

[Ra]

Some completely random notes on the STGOD characters.

Oldest (non-demigod) characters:

Khardem - Age indeterminate, but as a fallen Maiar, he is as old as all the other Ainur. That would make him the oldest character of all.

Galadriel - over 20,000 years old as of the Fourth Age; we don't exactly know how long ago LOTR took place, so she could be upwards of 25-30,000 years old now. She was born in Valinor before the First Age, went with Feanor's group in exile, and married Celeborn some time after that, so she's probably been married for more than 10,000 years (KAN take note).

Ra - in a way, over 10,000 years old; in another way, only one year old; his symbiote was cloned sometime during Season 8 of SG-1 (timelinewise; this didn't actually happen in canon SG-1 ), so while his memories of his past life are still around, and his "life-force" is the same, he is presently just a child, in essence.

Lord Adam and the Lady of A'millian - Not sure, Adam will need to clarify, but I believe they were over 1,800 years old.

Youngest characters

Srenn - Just over two years old, Srenn was considered an "elder" Kull, as Kull Warriors were very short-lived before Eldar craft made them longer-lived.

Smith - Cloned Smiths are likely even younger than Srenn.

Boomers - These Cylons used by the Organization are cloned even faster than Smiths; some are mere days old.

Misc

Oh yeah. I drew this in my spare time, a little illustration of an STGOD battle:

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

Alright guys, I just remember....

Lord Walper is having a duel with Lord Adam!!!

So let's slow the pace of the developing events on the STGOD, to maintain consistent timeframe between events on different places. See what I mean?

[Ra]

Slow the pace? It's nearly at a dead crawl now.[/grumble]

OK, OK. I'll slow things down a bit.
----------------------
About the latest scene.

Considering how some analyses of Asgard weaponry put them as way above the Empire, I'm being generous. Hell, even by some studies Ha'taks have been rated as equivilant to a Star Frigate, but I'm not doing that, see.

By my own reckoning, it's like this:

7 Ha'tak's=ISD
3 ISD's=1 Beliskner Asgard Mothership
7 ISD's=1 O'Niell Asgard Mothership
2 ISD's=1 Guardian frigate
Executor(more or less)=Guardian battleship

And don't fuss to me about no sound in space. I was doing my little "speak the magic word to the door" scene.

[Destructionator XV]

The Asgard did exactly what I would expect ftom gods. It was awesome.

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

A note for Jonathan (Ra)

Alright, while you have written a good piece of story, there are inconsistencies with previous posts (continuity, y'know! ):

As more Imperial ships tryed to drive in closer to Earth, an Alllegiance-class vessel exploded under the combined fire of five Beliskner-class motherships.

"Who the hell are these people?"

"They're not Goa'uld vessels, that's for sure!"

Probably a minor nitpick, but the Imperials already knew they were the Asgards, as my previous post:

Aboard the Eclipse, Captain Copeland nods with satisfaction, "the intelligence report is correct; Earth is populated with Asgard motherships. Let's waste no time, people. Fire on the lead mothership."

..................................

Captain Copeland is not sure whether the Asgardian Supreme Commander named 'Thor' is actually on-board the annihilated mothership, but at least they have decapacitated the enemy's command ship.

Reasonably, the Coruscant Intelligence Agency (CIA) should have known about the Asgard. After all, the Goa'ulds and the Empire were allies; the Empire should have the Asgards noted in their database.

Imagine the US attacking Baghdad, only to find that Saddam's regime has been replaced by the Kurds. Would the US Army Commanders baffled, muttering conversation like this?

"Who the hell are these people?"

"They're not Iraqis, that's for sure!"






And here's another (although I may be wrong with this one):

*Coruscant*

Senator Clarke had arrived at the Imperial Senate, completely calm as virtually everyone else was frightened and moving around in terror. Slowly, he makes his way down a corridor....

Don't forget to emphasize that Coruscant is still under siege by the Guardians. See, the 'play' between me and DarkSilver still ensues.

Or probably you have actually emphasized the point?

"Senator Clarke had arrived at the Imperial Senate, completely calm as virtually everyone else was frightened and moving around in terror...."






And finally, I guess you've concluded the battle in Earth to soon.

"And you were saying, Captain?"

"The fleet was decimated. We took the aliens... called the Asgard, by surprise, but it was to no avail. Only three Star Destroyers out of twelve escaped."

The problem is, the small battlegroup led by Captain Copeland is only the initial spearhead of Imperial Task Force attacking Earth, as in my previous post:

Now, gentlemen, the Goa'ulds have left Earth lightly defended, but we shouldn't let us to be overconfident. We will need the 437th fleet and 15th fleet to hyperjump at this point, while......" Thorne points his laser pointer to the Holo-screen while the meeting continues.

See? There were still the 437th fleet and the 15th fleet hanging around to assault the Earth after Captain Copeland's task force performs the initial strike.

In fact, Copeland's task force has one Eclipse Star Battleship escorted by many Star Destroyers. Reasonably, Captain Copeland's task force is not the combination of the 437th and 15th fleet . Like in the real world, a fleet should consist at least one big ship (battleship/Eclipse/Executor), accompanied by smaller ships like Star Battlecruisers, Star Cruisers, and Star Destroyer. Even Darth Vader's task force in TESB is described as 'small flotilla', so I imagine a typical Imperial fleet would be larger, if not equal, to Darth Vader's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a real world 'carrier battlegroup' consist of a single Aircraft Carrier, surrounded by assortment of smaller ships like AEGIS Cruiser, Destroyers, and Frigates.

So again, Captain Copeland's task force did NOT represent the entire force attacking Earth. The 437th and 15th fleet still hung around near the planet, waiting for the right moment to attack after Copeland's initial shock element.


I'm not saying that the Empire should win, or the Asgardians should lose. The aftermath of the battle should have depended on how we play it. I just didn't expect it would end that soon; not to mention it was quite inconsistent with previous post (the joint attack of the 437th and 15th fleet).

I imagine is the Asgardians, with their powerful motherships, would retaliate heavily on Captain Copeland's task force, and while the Empire would suffer from heavy return fire, the Captain would stay calm, then say, "inform the 437th and 15th fleet that they can make their move now". And then, unexpected by the Asgardians, the two fleets would jump out of hyperspace from opposite directions, 'pinching' the Asgardian motherships between them.

And the rest of it would be the game between us; a space battle STGOD between the Asgardians and the Galactic Empire. Again, I'm not saying the Empire should win; I just didn't expect the battle to end that soon, and in such way.

The Empire can still lose, but the whole battle would be more consistent with the whole premise if the two fleets were involved.

[Ra]

I edited my last two posts. Again I prove to be the grand fucker uper of things.

Now the enemy fleets are about to attack, and it looks hopeless. Also, Saan is basically saying that she won't send more ships if the Imperial fleets fail.

The big battle will serve as the backdrop for Galadriel and Ra's search through the Temple for that oracle-thingy. They may run into another Soong-Oth, or maybe something worse, who knows...
- Ra

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

I edited my last two posts. Again I prove to be the grand fucker uper of things.

Alright. Seriously, now, I've got some tips accordingly.

While I don't mind controlling each other forces/characters, such act should not be done to reach any conclusions. Yes, Jon, you can still control Imperial Forces, but let's not conclude anything -especially if it has major implications. If you think the pace is too slow, you can ask me to respond quickly so we can reach the conclusion faster.

An exception is if we have agreed beforehand what the conclusion should be, or if a particular player does ask how to conclude things up. For example, my Imperial Council Poll asking whether Darth Kreshna's personal fleet should be dissolved or not.

However, each player has their own stance regarding of controlling others. For example, I actually don't mind too much if you control my forces/characters, even if it reach a major conclusion, as long as I agree -whether implicitly or explicitly- with the result. An example is during the Phoenix smackdown, when Darth Kreshna, after accidentally killed Irene :sad: , was fighting a battle royal against Galadriel, Amy Lee, Destructionator, and Picard. The battle ended when the Phoenix withdrawn out of grief over Irene. Now I didn't object, because from the very start I didn't plan the Phoenix to win and kill one of the major characters.

Robert, on the other hand, doesn't want his characters (the Borg) controlled by other player(s), although I think Adam should control the Borg sometimes to give them a HUGEMONGOUS BULGE as he gave to the Picards.


By the way, while I like to see how the game (and the story evolve), I guess we're still waiting for Lord Walper and Lord Adam to finish the duel until we can accelerate the pace again.

[Destructionator XV]

By the way, while I like to see how the game (and the story evolve), I guess we're still waiting for Lord Walper and Lord Adam to finish the duel until we can accelerate the pace again.

Yes, yes. We have a couple more huge posts and it should be done. I think Robert is waiting for me to post next, but my writing skills are pitiful and I don't want to ruin it...

[Ra]

I understand what you said about the conclusions, Kresh. I do have a general idea of where I want this to go. See my post here for what I have in mind.
- Ra

[Ra]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. I just got an idea.

THE FINAL SHOWDOWN

We have three plots going on; The Defense of Earth (Asgard, Rebels, and Goa'uld vs. the Empire, along with Galadriel's expedition on the Moon), the Battle of Coruscant (Empire vs. Guardians), and the Duel (Borg/Sauron vs. the A'millians). Obviously, these could tie in.

1: Galadriel has found the Oracle of Datasse, which tells (albeit incompletely) how to "exorcise" the Phoenix. It was kind of like the Guardian's Manhattan Project. After escaping the Soong-Oth, Galadriel and Ra will be beamed up by Asgard transporters, but they were being captured by an Imperial ship. Retrieving her lightsabre, Galadriel goes from captured to captor. The battle soon ends with a narrow victory for the Alliance of Three.

2: Darth Kreshna escapes from the Seige of Coruscant and Guardian pursuit, through unknown means.

3: The Duel ends however it will end. Darth Kreshna arrives at the Borg-controlled Death Star, to seek shelter. The Guardians give chase.

4: Galadriel knows what must be done. Sensing that the Phoenix has moved to Borg space, she musters everyone that can be mustered. The Army of Lights, led by none other than the Lady of Light herself. All Goa'uld (Ra, Baal, and minor System Lords), Rebel, and A'millian ships not committed during the Duel form up, with the nine Asgard ships also joining them. As one, they go off to Borg Space.

5: The Final Battle begins. The Guardians, all of them, surround the Death Star. The Archmage Sdenna Assar demands Kreshna's surrender. "RELEASE KRESHNA TO US!". Then, the Army of Lights arrive, right into the middle of the fray. The battle begins. Three fleets, three strategies (Galadriel, Sdenna, and the Phoenix). All three sides take titanic losses in the vast battle, while Galadriel, Ra, and Leia try to get aboard the increasingly damaged Death Star.

6: The final showdown with the Phoenix. Amiwen the Black returns to fight him, distracting the Phoenix while Galadriel puts her powers to the ultimate test. Soon, her and Leia also end up caught in the fighting, but Galadriel does the final part of the exorcism, and it is set loose from Kreshna. After wandering around seeking a host, unable to get into Galadriel (her will is too strong), it goes into Leia. But Leia, a lightsider, is too stong, and is able to supress it. The war is over. But a hell of a lot of threads and problems will need to be tied up, which is what the sequels are for.

7: Conclusion. This will be revealled in due time, but I have it planned already, at least as far as the Goa'uld and Eldar are concerned.

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. I just got an idea.

THE FINAL SHOWDOWN

We have three plots going on; The Defense of Earth (Asgard, Rebels, and Goa'uld vs. the Empire, along with Galadriel's expedition on the Moon), the Battle of Coruscant (Empire vs. Guardians), and the Duel (Borg/Sauron vs. the A'millians). Obviously, these could tie in.

1: Galadriel has found the Oracle of Datasse, which tells (albeit incompletely) how to "exorcise" the Phoenix. It was kind of like the Guardian's Manhattan Project. After escaping the Soong-Oth, Galadriel and Ra will be beamed up by Asgard transporters, but they were being captured by an Imperial ship. Retrieving her lightsabre, Galadriel goes from captured to captor. The battle soon ends with a narrow victory for the Alliance of Three.

But don't forget the things you've (the in-game Ra) already got in hand: the virus, for example. That may help you kicking the Guardians (DarkSilver should try to stop Ra/Galadriel; the Guardians knows the virus is dangerous. On the other hand, The Organization haven't tested it yet.)

And how about Lilith?

2: Darth Kreshna escapes from the Seige of Coruscant and Guardian pursuit, through unknown means.

I'm still unconscious in Coruscant, though. Probably Galadriel would need to wake him up? Or maybe Lord Walper, after the duel with Lord Adam, should 'kidnap' the unconscious Darth Kreshna by beaming him to the Death Star? But what is Lord Walper's motivation, then? Benevolently trying to help Darth Kreshna because they're allies? Or trying to absorb the Phoenix into himself out of ambition? But remember the potential repercussion if Darth Kreshna wakes up and notices what happens.

3: The Duel ends however it will end. Darth Kreshna arrives at the Borg-controlled Death Star, to seek shelter. The Guardians give chase.

I guess the first thing to do is finishing the duel, to keep the timeframe consistent, y'know!

4: Galadriel knows what must be done. Sensing that the Phoenix has moved to Borg space, she musters everyone that can be mustered. The Army of Lights, led by none other than the Lady of Light herself. All Goa'uld (Ra, Baal, and minor System Lords), Rebel, and A'millian ships not committed during the Duel form up, with the nine Asgard ships also joining them. As one, they go off to Borg Space.

Prepare for a great battle!!!

I imagine, however, the winner of the duel (between Lord Walper and Lord Adam) would face the Phoenix in a cosmic duel. Probably in some interplanar dimension, where the duel is performed by their 'soul' while their physical body is in meditative state?

5: The Final Battle begins. The Guardians, all of them, surround the Death Star. The Archmage Sdenna Assar demands Kreshna's surrender. "RELEASE KRESHNA TO US!". Then, the Army of Lights arrive, right into the middle of the fray. The battle begins. Three fleets, three strategies (Galadriel, Sdenna, and the Phoenix). All three sides take titanic losses in the vast battle, while Galadriel, Ra, and Leia try to get aboard the increasingly damaged Death Star.

Yup. Remember, Guardian ships are strong but the Death Star is worth millions of Imperial ships (SDN volume calculation, IIRC). So make it one hell of a battle!

6: The final showdown with the Phoenix. Amiwen the Black returns to fight him, distracting the Phoenix while Galadriel puts her powers to the ultimate test. Soon, her and Leia also end up caught in the fighting, but Galadriel does the final part of the exorcism, and it is set loose from Kreshna. After wandering around seeking a host, unable to get into Galadriel (her will is too strong), it goes into Leia. But Leia, a lightsider, is too stong, and is able to supress it.

I guess the Champion who should take down the Phoenix in final showdown is either Lord Walper or Lord Adam; whoever wins in the duel between them. And other characters should probably 'channel' their mystical/magical force to the Champion. You know, like in DC Comics Crisis on Infinite Earths, where DCU magicians were channeling their power into the Spectre while he battles the Anti-Monitor.

The war is over. But a hell of a lot of threads and problems will need to be tied up, which is what the sequels are for.

Yup. Remember, Babylon Five did not end when the Shadow War ended. In the next session the good guys were facing the oppressive Earth Alliance under the dictatorship of President Clark.

See, in our STGOD, Senator Clark is aiming for Presidency. Since the Guardian will be gone after the war end, there will be a power vacuum. The Empire will be the sole superpower, under the oppressive (but ruthlessly decisive) regime of President Clark.

Then I (out-universe Kreshna) will stop playing as the Empire, and will concentrate on Darth Kreshna's faction (Captain McKenzie and Darth Kreshna -if the Sith Inquisitor will be still alive after the war). I guess Allen want to play as the powerful & ruthless Galactic Empire?

Probably planet Earth would be the 'Babylon Five'; the home of the Goa'ulds, the Borg, the A'millans, the Trollish Imperium, and Darth Kreshna's faction?

7: Conclusion. This will be revealled in due time, but I have it planned already, at least as far as the Goa'uld and Eldar are concerned.

Yup. Let's not rush in, by the way.

(1) By not rushing in, other players can have more chance to participate as well. I guess Allen is itching to steamroll the universe with his Guardian fleet!

(2) Also, the plot can still evolve. I believe what you have laid is general possibilities instead of fixed plot details. I hope there is still room for development, and to enjoy play the game as well. Like Robert said, an STGOD where every details are already fixed on stone won't be much fun.

(3) But from my respond to your every points above, I believe there is still plenty of room to let the plot develop based on how we play it. For example, how about the virus? How will Darth Kreshna escape? And what if he fails to escape and being captured by the Guardians?

Yes, Allen (because he plays as the Guardians) should be itching to capture the Phoenix. What if he succeed? That's why a general plot should be flexible enough to anticipate unexpected plot development. This is still a game, after all.

But hey, the unexpected things are actually the fun part! Remember Ra's mission on Coruscant? I did not expect Ra would rescue Commander Flotsam from prison with gun-blazing style; thus exposing their mission and ruining the relationship with the Empire. Remember the meeting with Captain McKenzie? I did not expect Galadriel would walk out from the meeting, and I didn't expect Irene to defect to the Army of Lights either, but it opens new plot possibilities, like the battle royal where Galadriel, Amy Lee, and Destructionator were fighting the Phoenix!

[Ra]

But don't forget the things you've (the in-game Ra) already got in hand: the virus, for example. That may help you kicking the Guardians (DarkSilver should try to stop Ra/Galadriel; the Guardians knows the virus is dangerous. On the other hand, The Organization haven't tested it yet.)

And how about Lilith?

The Guardians don't know about the Oracle, and won't show up at the Battle of Earth. As for that... Lilith... I don't know. I didn't intend to make him/her/it a very big plot element.

I'm still unconscious in Coruscant, though. Probably Galadriel would need to wake him up? Or maybe Lord Walper, after the duel with Lord Adam, should 'kidnap' the unconscious Darth Kreshna by beaming him to the Death Star? But what is Lord Walper's motivation, then? Benevolently trying to help Darth Kreshna because they're allies? Or trying to absorb the Phoenix into himself out of ambition? But remember the potential repercussion if Darth Kreshna wakes up and notices what happens.

What I meant was that Darth Kreshna is waylaid by the Soong-Oths, and obviously awakened. Sdenna wants him awake when he disintegrates him.

But Darth Kreshna escapes by himself, going off in a stolen ship to Borg space. There the Borg allow him to seek refuge aboard the Death Star.

And Galadriel wouldn't wake the Phoenix-incarnate up. That would be... stupid? Unwise? Something...

I guess the first thing to do is finishing the duel, to keep the timeframe consistent, y'know!

Obviously.

Prepare for a great battle!!!

I imagine, however, the winner of the duel (between Lord Walper and Lord Adam) would face the Phoenix in a cosmic duel. Probably in some interplanar dimension, where the duel is performed by their 'soul' while their physical body is in meditative state?

I wanted the showdown I explained in the first place, although the Duel's victor would play a part, obviously. At least one where Galadriel gets a chance to do the exorcism.

Yup. Remember, Guardian ships are strong but the Death Star is worth millions of Imperial ships (SDN volume calculation, IIRC). So make it one hell of a battle!

Well, yeah, but the Guardians are going to basically take the brunt of superlaser attacks, and they'll blow the dish up midway in the fighting. Remember, the ENTIRE Guardian fleet is here. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of ships. Like nearly a million. That's just against the Death Star, and both sides (Guardians and DS TL batteries) will blow away much of each side before the AoL shows up.

I guess the Champion who should take down the Phoenix in final showdown is either Lord Walper or Lord Adam; whoever wins in the duel between them. And other characters should probably 'channel' their mystical/magical force to the Champion. You know, like in DC Comics Crisis on Infinite Earths, where DCU magicians were channeling their power into the Spectre while he battles the Anti-Monitor.

Meh, I'm not too keen on this. I would prefer the fight between the victor and Phoenix, with Amiwen's help. No cosmic chanelling stuff.

Besides, the AoL would never help Walper (if that's who wins this), because he's working with the Dark Lord. If anything, Galadriel would oppose him. Remember, like how Gandalf led the defense of Minas Tirith until Aragorn showed up, Galadriel is running the good guy's part of the battle. Everyone else answers to her.

Yup. Remember, Babylon Five did not end when the Shadow War ended. In the next session the good guys were facing the oppressive Earth Alliance under the dictatorship of President Clark.

Let's just not repeat the suckiness of Legend of the Rangers.

See, in our STGOD, Senator Clark is aiming for Presidency. Since the Guardian will be gone after the war end, there will be a power vacuum. The Empire will be the sole superpower, under the oppressive (but ruthlessly decisive) regime of President Clark.

Gotcha, but Saan will still be a thorn in his side for awhile.

Then I (out-universe Kreshna) will stop playing as the Empire, and will concentrate on Darth Kreshna's faction (Captain McKenzie and Darth Kreshna -if the Sith Inquisitor will be still alive after the war). I guess Allen want to play as the powerful & ruthless Galactic Empire?

Sounds good.

Probably planet Earth would be the 'Babylon Five'; the home of the Goa'ulds, the Borg, the A'millans, the Trollish Imperium, and Darth Kreshna's faction?

Hmm, I would prefer to keep the different sides in their own territories, personally.

Yup. Let's not rush in, by the way.

Yeah, but we are coming toward the conclusion, that's why I posted.

(1) By not rushing in, other players can have more chance to participate as well. I guess Allen is itching to steamroll the universe with his Guardian fleet!

Of course.

(2) Also, the plot can still evolve. I believe what you have laid is general possibilities instead of fixed plot details. I hope there is still room for development, and to enjoy play the game as well. Like Robert said, an STGOD where every details are already fixed on stone won't be much fun.

Yeah.

(3) But from my respond to your every points above, I believe there is still plenty of room to let the plot develop based on how we play it. For example, how about the virus? How will Darth Kreshna escape? And what if he fails to escape and being captured by the Guardians?

He will escape, that's just the direction of the plot. As for the virus, Ra will do it soon enough. In fact, he could be trying that as a prelude to the AoL's arrival in Borg space (to lower the amount of enemies they have to fight). Of course, I've already decided that it'll fail spectacularly, and have Archmage Sdenna laughing his ass off.

Yes, Allen (because he plays as the Guardians) should be itching to capture the Phoenix. What if he succeed? That's why a general plot should be flexible enough to anticipate unexpected plot development. This is still a game, after all.

True, but this plot was kinda set up to get all the factions in one place. Then the gigantic threesome - errr, battle royale, begins.

But hey, the unexpected things are actually the fun part! Remember Ra's mission on Coruscant? I did not expect Ra would rescue Commander Flotsam from prison with gun-blazing style; thus exposing their mission and ruining the relationship with the Empire. Remember the meeting with Captain McKenzie? I did not expect Galadriel would walk out from the meeting, and I didn't expect Irene to defect to the Army of Lights either, but it opens new plot possibilities, like the battle royal where Galadriel, Amy Lee, and Destructionator were fighting the Phoenix!

Of course, that's true, but planning things out is always better than going in blind. I got a brainstorm walking around in my yard, and I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone.

[Ra]

KAN!

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

NO!

YOU CAN'T WAKE PATTERSON UP!

She's NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP UNTIL THE CONCULSION!

Have you forgot? You fucked up Irene pretty badly. Her very life-force was sucked out by the Phoenix, and even Galadriel didn't know how to save her. The Phoenix ran away without Patterson's char-broiled body, it was repaired by Ra's Sarc. Even then there was no way to restore her life-force (that was apparent) when she was last mentioned. I said that I wasn't going to reveal her true fate until the very end!
- Ra

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

YOU CAN'T WAKE PATTERSON UP!

She's NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP UNTIL THE CONCULSION!

Alright, ALRIGHT!!!!

Well I have removed the kissing part. Alright. The post is now nothing but indications.

However, Irene's body still lies in the Sarcophagus. It is her 'consciousness' I was talking about. But alright, Irene is not attempting to rescue Darth Kreshna in that post anymore. It is just a 'plot preparation', nothing more. Hey, Irene's life-force should be in heaven of some sort, right? She's a pure-hearted character.

And don't worry, it is far away from 'spoiling' the conclusion. In fact, we don't know what will happen yet. Will Darth Kreshna stay alive aftermath? Will he be dead? Will he go to 'heaven'? Or the Sith's hell of swirling chaos?


Again, Irene is not revived. Her body still lies in the Sarcophagus. It was her 'soul' (her 'dream-state'?) I was talking about in that post. Did you read Worlds Without Ends saga by Chuck Sonnenburg? For the time being, Irene is still dead. Her soul is in heaven.
