Does Ciaran actually intend to lewd the Padme, or is it all for funsies?
Has Ciaran actually done the nasty anyone, or is her arsenal of innuendo really all just second-hand knowledge? If she still has her v-card anyone find out and subsequently tease her with this absolutely relevant fact?
Is there any conceivable way to achieve a diplomatic victory with Palpatine, and if so what would it look like?
What is the Jedi Council's opinion of Ciaran and all the shenanigans she gets up to (including regularly outmaneuvaring them, outplaying them, and just fucking with them in general?)

Is it possible to locate and recruit zenoma sekot? I think thats the name anyway...
Does Palpatine know about the Vong yet?
Is Anakin actually the result of Darth Plagius mucking about with the force, or is he actually the Force's Jesus analogue the prophecy implies the chosen one is?
Is the Dark Side in this AU actually evil, or is it just that all it's users have gone nuts and lost control (the ancient Jedi/Sith predecessors who held the two as different but equal, and didn't pathologize it with names like 'dark', and 'light')?

Look, there's been some legal issues, some friction with the Guardians of the Whills, and the planet is isolated as all hell. It's being worked on.
While there are some things I can mark down as spoilers, I can say that the Mantle of the Force amplifies any "outward" Force abilities considerably. A push that knocks over a vase would shatter it if the user had the Mantle. Things like that.
Honestly it's probably those cereal monsters from planet Gastro or whatever they were. The ones that could only be killed by blue milk or something?
Though if we're talking stuff I knew about beforehand...I'll have to cheat a bit and include something that was brought up after Endor in canon.
"To Employee #1138:
Your reports of a so-called 'extradimensional being' that apparently calls itself 'Waru' are patently absurd and a complete waste of this organization's time. The idea that this entity that apparently came from 'outside reality' or whatever you were saying could exist is patently absurd, let alone your claims that you can swim through it. Or that said 'liquid interior' of this being is supposedly breathable. Your claims of this being existing, let alone being a threat to the galaxy in any capacity have been patently dismissed, and your employment terminated.
In other words: Get the hell out you useless idiot.
Disrespectfully,
Lady Ciaran"

Assuming the Jedi come out on top somehow, and Mace Windu gains an absurd amount of clout in the wake of Palpatine's ascension, would you be willing to make a setting where the Jedi are in control and are actually full blown 'Emotion is Illogical, do your job and do not aspire and you will find peace' type Orwellian Nightmare shit, and the Sith end up being the punk-rebel good guys who harness the power of Passion and Freedom of Expression to bring down the oppressive Order of the 'Light'?
Because I would absolutely read something like this shit. It would be amazing.

If we're talking pure investigative types, then there are none that canonically exist (that I'm aware of). But come on, it's a wide galaxy, of course there's someone out there who probably fits the bill.
1. It's certainly possible to locate it, but whether or not it'd be willing to let Ciaran poke it is another matter entirely.
2. Assuming they exist, Palpatine did come into contact with the Chiss during the Outbound Flight incident. Take that as you will.
3. Would it matter either way? At the end of the day you still have a Chosen One. Both are equally viable answers, and I feel like I honestly have no right to fully answer that.
4. Prefacing this with a 'this is more opinion than QM fact:' both. The Dark Side is admittedly inherently corrupting since it encourages you to indulge in your passions and negative emotions, but it also didn't help that 99% of it's users became maniacs and galactic overlords. You have to have high amounts of self-control to use it safely.
I'm not sure I would go that far on either side, but I admit that sort of thing is a possibility for the future...assuming there's enough interest in a sequel where rails are non-existent.
Also, assuming I somehow manage to wrap this up nicely there's a couple of other quests I've got plans for that I want to get rolling. But right now this one is my crucible and I am dedicating almost all of my creative energies to it. I either bring it to a grand completion, or fail and die in infamy. Or more likely shrug and move on with my life in the latter circumstance, but it's more dramatic that way. Point being is that I'm finishing this before I go onto other major projects...probably. My muse has been more insistent on those other ideas the more I think about them...
It depends on your place in the hierarchy. The higher you go, the more you learn about the Abyss, and the more you realize that your boss will never let you leave the company alive.
Fortunately at that point the paycheck is amazing and you get fantastic benefits.

Ouch man, as a martial artist myself, you do NOT want to be wearing just boxers in a fight.
Lets just say that jumping around without support is not just painful for girls and leave it at that

Can we eventually develop this into a full Getsuga Tensho?

What are the blasters Ciaran tends to prefer and what is her opinion on the DC-17 (the pistols Captain Rex uses) and the DC-15s that the Clone Commandos use?

Okay, first of all
Next, is it possible, in the number of turns we have available in this quest, to turn Ciaran into a grey-ish Force Master equal to Yoda or Palpatine? Really curious about this.
You made a typo.

Okay question: Are you ever going to open up the waifu case that got sealed in the last thread or are you intending to not touch it with a thirty foot pole?
...
Another question: have you ever considered including any of the starwars crossover stuff? Such as if I rember correctly the extragalactic expedition that they included to link starwars with E.T.

But don't you have to have the same for the light-side? Or is that 'use it effectively'?
Are you for real? I mean, really?

See, I'm worried that would cross the Anime Line, the metaphorical line in the sand where the universe becomes too over-the-top to take seriously.
Now, we're skirting pretty damn close to it with my rampant Gundam and Nasuverse references (there was a Zeta Gundam nod in 'The Resurgent' interlude I snuck in for instance), and I'm afraid that would push it over the line. Sadly.
First: Scream. Second: Given the universe, get hired by Ciaran for a desk job and try not to die. Aside from that, I feel like trying to date Ciaran would be weirdly incestuous given that I'm her damn writer. As for who my preferred target is otherwise...that is a secret~
She tends to prefer models that let her hide it easily, draw fast, shoot first, and guarantee kills. She's not too picky, but tends to opt for pistols like Han's DL-44. She respects the DC-17, but doesn't like that it's hard to hide. As for the DC-17 variable rifle (I think that's the model you meant to ask about) she really likes its versatility and given the chance would mass-produce it and hand it over to her high-ranking soldiers/Agents and Walkers to give them more versatility.
Ooooh, that's an interesting one. Given the timeframe I'm going to say you can't get there before the Palaptine assassination/fight/whatever, but you could get her started down that path. Hypothetically.
1. ahahahahahahahaha no
2. No. I've got enough craziness on my plate as it is.
...Uh...yes? Don't make this weird, man.
Self-control is needed to use the Light effectively, and it keeps you from going batshit insane if you use the Dark.

Gotcha. In that case see previous answer, though Ciaran would love to get a 'stealthy' version of that gun.

is there a reason so few people have drawn the connection between the gang called the abyss watchers, and the mercenary company called the abyss watchers?
