It was with a heavy sigh and a throbbing heart Jaida close the door of her car. In all honesty, she wasn’t fond of the idea of suddenly shifting from her own hidden and secluded lodgings to being stuck with dozens of stiff military personnel. The ex-bounty hunter felt like she traded off her freedom for safety. After what happened to her, Jaida sure could use a safe place to stay, but she wasn’t so sure if the whole deal was suiting herself perfectly.

A slow hand ran over her neck, feeling the scar that has been etched onto her soft skin. It was still hurting and burning faintly. The bite of metal still fresh in the young woman’s mind. It was only yesterday she made up her mind about what she should be doing for her future. Flirting with Death so closely made her rethink about her life and her occupation. 

She had approached the Republic at this very base not long ago, hands up to prove she wasn’t hostile despite carrying weapons. She had heard of the new Order’s intentions of wiping crime off the face of galaxy. It was a bold and foolish goal, but she would rather side with this new ideal than continue what her old life was about. 

It’s not like she had much of a choice anyway. Jaida Sarinn was an infamous bounty hunter on Gamorria, for her many years at tracking down successfully her marks had earned her quite the reputation. That reputation had both been a blessing and her undoing. And right now, it was a curse. Now that the assassination attempt on her life had failed, the treacherous crime lord was sure to fear retribution and hire more bounty hunters and assassins to track her down and either kill her or make sure the ex-hunter wouldn’t kill this influential ass.

Oh, but that idiot hadn’t heard the last of Jaida. She’ll come back to him, one day, with the republic armada knocking on his corrupted doorstep. She’ll get her revenge.

For now though, she’ll have to accept that her situation changed. And honor the deal she had contracted with the Republic. She’ll offer her services for the fight to come, and even guide the newly arrived soldiers into this corrupted planet. In exchange, she’ll have a safe place to stay, and won’t have her ass thrown in prison for her previous life of crime.

Swinging her pack of belongings over her shoulder, Jaida left her vehicle at the port, walking towards the Republic base. She arrived just in time to see Commander Gallowin, the man she had her dealings with, finishing his instructions to what looked like a group of newly arrived squadron, before he walked off on them. 

Seeing she will be working with those people, as per instructions she had been given beforehand, Jaida walked up to the group of newcomers, tipping her hat up in greetings with her free hand.
