omg...cliffie!

Very amusing call signs though...reminds me of Wes' jokes regarding Ewoks in the Rogue Squadron series XD 'Yub Yub commander!' :P

I liked the semi-flashbacks of Istyn, and how Janella's situation kind of parallels what Istyn and Terr for the first few sentences of a new scene (for me anyway). It might be helpful to break it into smaller chapters, considering the chapter is pretty long, which discouraged me from reading it at first, or at least until I found some spare time. The length might also discourage others from reading it, so it may be beneficial to break it into smaller sections. Just don't make them too small...:D Overall it was an excellent chapter and I can hardly wait for the next installment D
