*Entry from the private journal of Jaina Solo*

So, I find myself sitting in the sleeping quarters of the Jade Shadow, wiling away the hours while she's in hyperspace writing, and re-reading Jacen's journal. It's hard to see exactly why he did it, because it was apparently with the best of intentions, but because his reasoning must have seemed so sound to him, and so well thought out… When really? He was a bit cracked. Nevertheless, I understand now, and understanding makes accepting Jacen back into my heart a lot easier.

What isn't so easy is that I am going to be spending what is looking to be a long time in the Imperial Sector with everyone's FAVORITE military pilot cum civilian cum leader of the Moff Council: Jag Fel. This is going to be SO much fun. I wonder how long I can possibly avoid him before we are forced to run into each other. Between my luck and Uncle Luke's planning, I don't think I'll be able to disembark without seeing him.

Not that I DON'T want to see him… I just don't want to see him yet. It's not much of a distinction in the long run, but I'm just not ready yet.

My plan, as of right now, is to return the Shadow to Coruscant, allow them to use it as a ferry ship between here and the Remnant… I'll let Kyp pilot it. He doesn't have a ship of his own at the moment, and there is no better ship than the Shadow when you want speed and sneaking capabilities. I'll take my X-Wing and fly as an escort, and when I reach the Remnant, refuel and make a surprising visit to Hapes and see Mom and Dad and Allana and of course Tenel Ka. Then swing from Hapes to Mandalore. Maybe I'll skip Hapes, the bowing a scraping just serves to aggravate me.

Hopefully Uncle Luke will understand.
