Another thoroughly enjoyable opening to a story arc. Here's hoping
that this one goes well.

As always with EPU, I appreciate the little touches. (I'd call them
throwaways, if so many of them didn't develop into full-blown stories)

-"You ought to know that Mom's alive." Bam! I've been waiting for
that since she disappeared. Now the problem becomes finding the time
and resources to -do- something about it when there are so many other
irons in the fire.

-Hermione Granger as padawan to Hercule Poirot...what a beautiful
picture.

-M'yl'ya's family, as has already been mentioned, is -fabulous-.

-Did Vader just -eat- Quevas XIII's soul?

-I desperately want to see O'bi-Wann and Saionji have a gripe session
about their students...

All in all, well done!

Thank you.
