Ah, so that is where you are.

Obi-Wan contemplated the situation at hand, then nodded to himself. "Very well then. Lady Ciaran?"
father

Ciaran went silent at that, closing her eyes for a brief moment.

"Good, because you're right. My real worry comes from the fact that your former Padawan is very strong in the Force. Let me explain," Ciaran said as Obi-Wan started to ask a question. "I've studied my fair share of the galaxy's history and a part of it that I keep seeing is that great changes in the galaxy often tend to result from the actions of singular powerful and passionate Force users, whether they're Jedi or Sith. Look at Exar Kun, who launched one of the most destructive wars the galaxy has ever seen after he fell to the dark side. Or better yet, look at Revan, who nearly tore the galaxy apart as a Sith Lord then helped to make it whole once again as a Jedi."
"Indeed. Yet so many would rather believe those events do not concern them, even as their echoes continue to shape the galaxy."

"If we can't get the Father's help, the Daughter would still be a powerful ally."
"Fool. That thing will never overcome her base nature."

Her voice was clearly pained, but Ciaran's blood still ran cold as she processed her declaration. Did she not hear the words that came out of her mouth just now!? She seriously thinks that killing the Son will help bring balance!?
"She could never conceive of any idea to the contrary."

The Daughter sighed sadly. "There is an altar on this planet that I can take the both of you to. It contains a weapon that will help us defeat my brother."
dagger
Invisitext. Yeah, I'm really worried about Invisitext right now. Knows about the dagger, is looking for someone, maybe us, and said something about escaping fate. Does not sound good.

soon we will take control of the force, rip open a hole in time and space, travel to other dimensions, expand our trade empire, spread glorious capitalism, make more ridiculous strings of crit rolls, and harvest a endless amount of Dr. Snark's tears.

Ah, so that is where you are.
Looking at this bit in particular, I wonder what the full message says.
The first sentence: i\/\never/\/\/you might be: I've never seen you, maybe they could see what was going to happen here, but never saw us.
you/\/not\/\esca/\/fate/\/: We can not escape fate? Should not? Will not? If it is someone who knew what's supposed to happen, maybe they're telling us we won't be able to change it anyway.
Anyone else have ideas?

Considering we rolled a 170 for this, I'm waiting to see how it all shakes out in our favor. Maybe we'll replace the Father as the Incarnation of Balance? Can't be called the Mother, though, that's taken. How about Ciaran, The Kooky Aunt?
 
Kreia. My guess is Kreia.

Also, clearly my omake is now very much non-canon (like it wasn't in the first place), but does it pass the @Dr. Snark test?
 
So, I'm going to be a bit blunt here. This is pretty interesting, and I would like to see how it turns out, but I honestly prefer the regular turns. Basically, this is getting a bit too metaphysical/philosophical/whatever word you prefer to use for me.

I'm waiting to end up on a train talking to a younger version of ourselves.

Then again Ciaran would be great at running NERV....
 
I'm pretty sure it involved you going on a feeling and ended with being launched out in a escape pod. :p

Seriously though, I wonder how much Ciaran is going to change due to all of this.

Things like this are why I try to avoid major world-shattering events. Doing them right is _really really hard_. The fact that Doc is doing it at all makes him braver than me, and that it's done so well (and with invisitext for additional foreshadowing hints) is outstanding.

If it's taking too long and the pressure gets too much...would it be practical to step off the interlude for the moment, go to the regular pacing, and come back to the interlude? Tactical retreat to come at it from another angle?

The only idea I've had so far noped out of my brain after the words Mother and Time-Travel/Loops came up.

Oh it's fine. I'm confident that the next two chapters will be much quicker.
 
Woohoo! Keep up the great work Dr. Snark! We're still loving this!

Now, IIRC the Son is being manipulated by the ghosts of the Dark Lords to some malevolent end or something, right? I'm guessing the invisitext is either Revan as previously mentioned or it's the Dark Lords acting in concert, we've already got Darth Plagueis scurrying about, if the Son invited the other Dark Lords they might have noticed us through Darth Plagueis.
