Brenna Ylva Egilson stepped out of the small shop on the rinky dink street with an air of frustration evident about her. She'd long since finished the task she'd been sent to Coronet City for in the first place, but while she was there she thought she could extend her stay a little while to try to find off the books work that she might gain a little extra pocket money from. So far, she'd had zero luck inquiring about work at some of the local smaller businesses. The bigger places all seemed to have plenty mercs and guards around already, so she had been hoping to get work from someone else in need of an enforcer for just a small job or some such thing.
All morning there had been angry looking fronts blowing in over the capital city of Corellia and just then an ominous rumbling sounded from the heavens, accompanied by vibrations that seemingly rent the air itself. The young Sith woman felt the thunder echo in her bones and figured it was about time she took a conveniently timed break. Normally a little rain would never curb her stubborn need to find work, but she'd been at it for a couple days already with no takers and was starting to feel discouraged.
The truth that she couldn't see was that she stuck out like a sore thumb with her deep crimson robes and lightsaber clipped to the front of her belt with no attempts to hide it. It was obvious she was affiliated with the Sith and the poor shopkeepers she had thus far approached were intimidated beyond measure by her and the potential implications of hiring her.
Wrapped up in her own thoughts - tending towards feeling sorry for herself at this point - she didn't register the threat as soon as she should have. She'd been striding past a narrow alleyway between two tallish buildings and the shadows were exaggerated because of the overcast weather. There crouched a would-be assassin or kidnapper with a powerful blaster rifle in hand. The sound of the shots registered first and Brenna reacted purely by instinct, throwing herself into a quick forward roll and throwing out a wave of Force energy with her left hand as she shot back to her feet in the blink of an eye.
