I have a one track mind.

[size=1]"So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway. It's like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.”

I had the thought that the organization of Force users that LD escaped from initially is an organization that was set up in the Black Dragon Empire (or any other governing body who agrees to it) waaaay back, and was constructed in such a way that funds were sent to it, but no one knew where the money was going, and eventually it was sort of forgotten. Or perhaps not forgotten, but hidden so well by the few in the know that no one ever found out about it.
Then LD appears on the scope, a conscript to the same Black Dragon Empire (or other governing body who agrees to it) who was shunted off into another division and then reported as AWOL over a year ago. Yet when questioned her story will be that she actually didn't go awol until a few months previously when she forcibly escaped from the academy.
