Vong War Annals – “Aw, heck, why not?” 3.11.2009

                “Why are we back here again?”
                “Because the Force wills it to be so. I thought I was to come back for you but something is drawing me back.”
                “I don’t suppose it matters to you that my will wills me to be far far away from those two whiny little man-babies?”
                “Come on,” she said.  “You remember what happened the last time we tried to run away from destiny?”
                Alex winced. “Don’t remind me, Amanda. You know I never stopped blaming myself.”
                “What happened was no more your fault than my own. A combination of my own weakness and your own… what’s the word, stubbornness, I suppose.”
                “You realize how foolish we’re going to look? I come back from the dead, re-enlist, then retire, and now less than eight days later I’m re-enlisting a second time? That’s not called a reliable service record.”
                “There are more than enough Jedi in the AF. They’ll understand the ways the Force moves people.”
                “I hope so.”
                Amanda’s ship came out of hyperspace above Xenen once again. Wayfarer sent an immediate query for identification.
                “This is Amanda Lance and Alextravia Grentarii, requesting permission to land and speak to someone about re-enlisting in the AF’s ranks,” Amanda said, and waited for a reply.
