Not a question, but I have to say that Aizen avatar fits really well with this Q&A session.

Honestly I figured it was about damn time I get a proper avatar, and I figured Aizen suited me given my mixture of legit good planning and hasty improvising that I do for this quest. The fact that it fits the Q&A is a happy coincidence.

Does Ciaran have hammerspace?

She does seem to find a way to smuggle things away disturbingly easily (see: Dooku's painting) so it's either that or she's really good at hiding things. Probably both.

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?

There's an understanding in the Undercity that there is no gang called the Abyss Watchers. Anyone who tells you that is a liar and/or is about to die. Aside from that who else would have heard of some Coruscant Undercity street gang? Those guys are practically limitless down there, who cares about some random group of thugs?

More relevantly, aren't the Abyss Watchers basically the Under Worlds top-dogs since they deposed Black Sun? If that's the case, and the Abyss Watchers themselves are a registered mercenary group...why haven't more people come to the conclusion that Ciaran is an evil crime-boss? That one Jedi we had did, but frankly she jumped to conclusions over a stupid crit. This seems like a more legitimate reason for people to be suspicious.
 
Is there a "Sherlock" to Ciaran's "Moriarty"?

Not yet. Give it time, I'm sure someone will pop up either through disaster rolls or an omake chain.

Ah, now I understand what you're getting at. What you have to understand is that what you and I call 'the Abyss Watchers' is more a term of convenience at this point; Ciaran now uses a lot of proxies, stooges, fake names, shell companies, and so on in many of her more illicit endeavors. In general the Watchers are more akin to Earth's Mafia: you know they exist, but actually pinning something on them is much harder, and most of the time their businesses are perfectly legit. And besides, don't forget that Ciaran is a galactic celebrity and does 'selfless' acts like help set up galaxy-wide ceasefires. Even if you had evidence that Ciaran was a crime boss, a lot of people just don't want to believe it.

Where did you get your Aizen avatar?

Saw the pic in another thread here, decided that I really wanted to use it. That's about it!
 
Can we create meka-shift weapons like in RWBY? It would be hilarious for the watchers or Carian with the attack is far away and thinks they are safe, but our light saber doubles as a gun., "I can fight at both range and melee."
 
Transforming weapons might not be as reliable here compared to RWBY, though.

I did make a non-canon omake once where Ciaran made a lightsaber that's also a gun.
 
Question! A idea that won't leave me alone has hijacked my mouth and now I must ask, in this AU does Force Lightning have physical push? I mean, Windu used his lightsaber to block it and it looked like it was causing him strain, so my question is does it actually block lightsabers? Like, could you wreath your arms in lightning and go hand to hand against a Jedi?

Hypothetically? Sure. There's three problems though: First there's no real frame of reference in Star Wars so you'd have to start from scratch on the design. Second: you'd have to convince Ciaran that it's practical (though Cheriss would be a way easier sell, admittedly) and it'd be hard to get that to fly with her given how she prefers a lightsaber in one hand and a blaster pistol in the other as it is. Third: More nitpicky semantics than anything, but given that it would involve more lasers you wouldn't get Crescent Rose, instead you'd get something closer to Bardiche from Lyrical Nanoha. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

(Funnily enough, Nanoha did the 'scythe that was also a gun' thing about a decade before RWBY did. Sadly there were no meme-worthy lines about it.)

How is..., damn I forget her name but Ciaran gave her cybernetics and she was one of the Jedi, she doing?

Darra? Alive, salty as all hell, and not at the top of her game since she refuses to touch anything Karada-related.

So basically you're asking me if a Force user could fight like MGS3's Volgin. I mean, I'm sure it's possible, but you'd be way more likely to electrocute yourself or burn your arms to a crisp.

Can we get some Ysalimir and see if we can smuggle it into Palpatine's office?

Not gonna happen, the Ysalamiri Force 'hole' is kind of noticeable in general.

2. Assuming they exist, Palpatine did come into contact with the Chiss during the Outbound Flight incident. Take that as you will.

But incanon Palpatine was already aware of the "Far Outsiders" by the time he met the Chiss, if I recall correctly.

What is the status of the Vong in this quest? Don't need a whole lot of details, but I could swear someone, I think Teron, saying they don't exist in this quest.
 
I asked just for the shock and troll factor. "Ha, you only have a blaster you can never defeat my tank!" "It is also a lightsaber *Shuck buzzzz* "Well that's not fair at all."

Teron was pretty blunt about them not appearing. As for me...look, I'll be blunt: if the Vong ever actually show up that means I've run out of good ideas and you should all flee as fast as you can.

Am I only one who keeps reading that as Mecha-dere?

"I'm not repairing you because I like you or anything, I just had some spare parts lying around! Baka!"

Shit, now I am going to see it like that forever. Thanks? Though now I have some very strange mental images involving Cheriss...

What's the funniest/most embarrassing place Ciaran has ever hidden Obi Wan's lightsaber? Get your minds out of the gutter people.

She hasn't gotten her hands on it...yet. Given the chance, it'd probably be hidden in either Siri or Satine's robes. That they just so happened to choose to wear that day by coincidence.

I will go down with this ship if we reach that point. We'll have come too far by then for me to leave without someone dragging me out of here, kicking and screaming all the way.
 
Speaking of Darra, I have ideas I'd like to bounce off you, Dr. Snark. Expect some Pm later.

Has Ciaran had any public/ publicized flings? She's a thirty something attractive humanoid with ALL the money and fame. I'm sure there's been attempts, especially since I can't picture her not being a shameless flirt everywhere now.

How well has anyone done on trying to leverage something on the 'naive' Lady Ciaran?

Are there Ciaran or Watcher plushies? If not, why hasn't Ciaran merchandized?

What sort of population and society has developed on Kiln?

I thought we let plenty of employees leave, they're just under a death threat if they ever Fuck up.
