    Summary

    “Oh, good,” Benji said. “We really went all out on the complexity there. Schrodinger’s Rube Goldberg death machine. The point is, we haven’t opened the box yet, so there’s really no way to know, is there? And so I am—in a quantum sense—both alive and dead, at the same time. Which is, you have to admit, kind of interesting.”

    Summary

    “What are you doing?” Kotallo demands.

    “Uh.” Erend fidgets with his ballcap, a quick up-down to adjust its fit. Arguably he’s larger than Kotallo, broad all the way down, but he struggles visibly not to cringe back from him. “Pitching?”

    Kotallo fights down a spike of hot indignation. He forces his mouth flat, and holds up a finger. “You get one more. Pitch it like you hate me.”

    Truthfully, Erend’s face is so open and boyish that Kotallo has a hard time picturing him hating anyone in earnest. He studies Kotallo, just for a moment. “You got it, boss.”

    /~/

    Vice-Captain Kotallo has his hands nice and full with the team's new pitcher.

    Summary

    "When I woke up, Bix was – she left on the first transport from Yavin this morning. And then I had to deal with the report to Draven, and there were the technicians: I just had them set up a deprogrammed KX security droid in our home. Anyway, it’s a long story.”

    “Sounds like it,” Melshi replied. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, searching for some version of “so, speaking of stories, Bix told me she was going away” that wouldn’t land like a slap to the face, after all that. He didn’t find it in time.

    .....

    Or, Bix finds Melshi before she leaves Yavin, and nothing gets simpler.

    Summary

    “And the Covert is…?” Cody asked, looking up at Obi-Wan with a raised eyebrow.
    “Oh, that’s just what they call their team,” Obi-Wan said dismissively.
    “Team of…historians?”
    Obi-Wan laughed. “Oh no, dear, they’re podcasters.”
    Cody set down the invitation and drained the rest of his still too-hot coffee. “Podcasters,” he deadpanned.
    “Quite.”

    Summary

    When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.

    Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.

    Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.
