Coruscant
Elara was window shopping after a few adventures on the planet. Figured she earned it. A girl has got to look after herself after all. She decided that after a while, she was going to report in at headquarters to see if they had anything she could help with, but for now she was content in leisurely walking down the streets, surrounded by people chattering nearby, going about their business. She was wearing her vest, because as she learned, you never know when you might need it, and her blaster was also safely holstered to her side.
Suddenly, a head splitting roar, as the explosion fills the sky with smoke and an orange tint. Her, and everyone else, duck as a reaction. Although she was not in the same sector, it was awfully close, and the people around her starts panicking and shouting and running in all directions, sirens blaring out. Elara stares in horror, as she realises the explosion is in the same direction as the headquarters.
After a few seconds, she sprints into action and begins running towards the nearest taxi port. She manages to take one a few block away, and the chaos she encountered was almost overwhelming. She dodges panicked people as she heads towards the headquarters, now laying in ruins. She gapes, utterly shocked, and unable to move. She can see a few rangers around, discussing. Her comm blinks. She answers, a few droid beeps could be heard on the other side
"Yes BG, I'm alright.. I saw it, and I'm here..it's...not looking good...Stay with the ship. Will update you later..."
