I hope you won't be disappointed after TheLightIsMine's amazing work, I will have her beta all my chapters so it'll hopefully be mistakeless.

Enjoy the prologue!

Kal turned the Holonews on in the karyai. The aliit had finished eating a meal prepared by Laseema and, as was routine now, were gathering to hear the news of the galaxy.

Jaing and Mereel were messing around and talking about the latest women they'd bedded, and Kal tried not to overhear, while Fi and Parja were cuddling in the corner. Corr was trying to drag Jilka off to their bedroom, murmuring something about making their own child after spending half the day looking after Ka'ra so Besany and Ordo could have some alone time – she was having none of it, reading something absorbedly on her datapad. Corr eventually gave up and sat himself down next to her.

Other couples were scattered talking quietly amongst themselves while Kal settled down to watch the news, tuning out.

"And the latest news: it has been revealed that a nurse named Rhiannon Swift has helped over hundred clones desert the IA. She and her son – who is due to turn six this week, our sources say – were last seeing boarding a LAAT/i with a squad of commandos. There are no current leads on their whereabouts. This incident happened two hours ago and anyone who has any information is required to come forward." There was a picture of this Rhiannon, who was startling familiar, with her child in her arms.

Kal stared, and then rewound the news.

"Jaing, you might want to see this," he said, memories falling into place, and Jaing stopped his teasing of Mereel's love life to look at the holoimage.

"That's... that's Rhiannon," he whispered, his eyes glued to the screen as the same segment of news was repeated. The room was quiet now. "What the Force is she doing? What if they catch her? What if she gets hurt?"

"I thought you were over her, ner vod," A'den commented.

"Shut up," Jaing said, listening intently. Kal knew, and the Nulls undoubtedly knew, he'd never gotten over her exactly.

"I think you made an impression on her," Jilka commented, looking up from her datapad. "I mean, that's some plan she had, it must have taken years to manage that."

Jaing paused the news on the picture of her and her son. Kal felt like someone had plunged him into ice water suddenly. It couldn't be Jaing's... surely?

As prologue's go, it's rather short but I swear the chapters get longer. It's just a taste of the plot of my sequel :) I have actually completed the next chapter so reviews will make it appear quicker! (Yes, this is a sort of blackmail).
