She had intended to arrive on Concord Dawn to meet with Leandros. However, the cheap rental shuttle she had was janky to begin with. Keira had turned down all luxury travel, preferring to be more economical and having that money go elsewhere. The downside of that was that she was stuck with very crappy transports. Things began to go downhill as soon as she started to enter the atmosphere and the pilot droid began to beep and alarms began to go off.
As per usual, she didn’t have anyone else with her, and she was panicking. Keira wondered if this was it - she would die in a freak accident crashing on the surface of Concord Dawn. She could imagine the Holonet headlines now, and she felt absolutely pathetic. The Chancellor goes down in unarmed field alone and without any help.
She felt queasy from the jerky motions of the ship, clutching onto the side handles as much as she could. Keira wanted to cry, fear overwhelming her. The only company she had was a hunk of metal that was screaming about their impending doom and crash.
Anyone looking over the horizon would see a shuttle coming in hot, thick plume and jets of fire sparking from its back. The shuttle slammed into the ground and skidded across the surface of a canyon and came to a shuddering halt after it was stopped by a mountain surface.
All the lights went out inside the shuttle, and Keira was miraculously still alive. She began to cough from the thick smoke, and she was completely oblivious that the ship would blow any moment. Keira felt her way around in the darkness, none of the buttons or terminals working.
Panic began to set in as she banged on the walls, “Hello?! Can someone hear me?!” There was no real way out of the ship, and she couldn’t see anything. Keira continued to cough, her eyes filling with tears and burning.
