Summary
As of April 2016, The database that stores works on A03 does not allow emoji. If you try to add an emoji it will end your story there. Any words after the emoji? Poof. Gone. This is a known, if poorly advertised, issue with the archive.
There are some workarounds; you can find them in: How to Make iOS Text messages on A03. But here? Here is for ALL THE EMOJI*.
10 chapters of emoji tables, each with the HTML for putting the emoji into your work and the CSS for putting it into your workskin. Copy-Paste baby. Copy-Paste.
*Does not contain the 2016 Unicode release. You'll have to come up with the code for pickle yourselves.
(Note, because this is 10 chapters of emoji tables, here is a link to the Index Tables (chapter 1) to speed up load times and reduce confusion if you have preferences set to "entire work.")

Summary
Obi-wan’s eyes darted between them before asking, “Something else is wrong. What is it?”
“Well…i-it’s more than the catalyzer.” Ahsoka paused to swallow before continuing, “The engine was damaged, but so was the casing protecting the Auxiliary Power source. The fire, it…” She bit her lip as she trailed off. He could feel it now, her fear in the Force. He looked to Rex for answers.
The soldier’s voice was dark, “With the catalyzer killing the engine, Main Life Support failed,” The weight of the situation pressed against Obi-wan as Rex continued, “and the flames killed our backup.” He shook his head, "There’s just nothing left.”

Senator Amidala ventures into Separatist space with a protection escort to provide aid for a planet that’s been blockaded for refusing to participate in the Galactic War. During the journey a mechanical malfunction leaves the crew with damaged life support and adrift behind enemy lines.
