"A Jedi holocron has been stolen from one of our temple ruins on Ajan Kloss. We've determined that the thieves intend to sell it at an art show on Coruscant, so that's where you'll be going. It's just a basic holocron, but it's better to remain in our hands rather than be kept as a paperweight for some wealthy person. You'll be meeting Padawan Crix Aran on Coruscant to assist you. It's best to keep this mission quiet, but if you do run into trouble, try not to bring anyone back with you."
"Stop right there!"
Jaesa whipped her head around to look toward the voice, one hand grasping the stolen holocron and the other instinctively moved onto the hilt of her lightsaber. Two, three, four, then five armed guards burst into the room with their blasters drawn and aimed at the two of them. Damnit. She had made it to Coruscant no problem. She found and met up with Crix, no problem. They had entered the facility and found the holocron with little issue. It looked like her luck had run out. Someone must have seen them enter the room, perhaps. Jaesa quickly searched the edges of the room and her eyes landed on a small camera not fifteen feet away. Damnit. They'd forgotten to check for cameras. No wonder.
"Return the object to its pedestal and put your hands in the air!"
Jaesa turned as if to return the holocron to its spot, but instead took a moment to look for an escape. The was a door behind them, the one they had entered the room in. It led straight to the ongoing party, but it was their only option if they didn’t want to run through the guards. She quickly turned back around and extended the palm of her free hand toward the guards, pushing them back in a push of the Force. The knight then looked at Crix and said to him, "Run!”
The guards started to fire as she turned to run, one of the projectiles beaming just over the top of her head. Jaesa stopped to turn on her lightsaber to deflect the oncoming barrage of blaster bullets, hopefully covering Crix so he could make his escape. Hopefully, the hubbub of the party and the chaos caused by their intrusion would cover their escape.
