Corellia…
The beautiful jewel in the middle of the Five Brothers, the crown jewel of the Core Words, regardless of what anyone else would say.
It had been many years since she had been home, well it had been over 800 years to be exact but no one really cared or was counting. She knew there was limited to no chance her actual house was still standing and even if it was, it probably belonged to someone else. It didn’t matter, she wasn’t here for that purpose.
She was here to see him…
She glanced down at a rippling holophoto in her hand of Ayden Cater and then the other holophoto of her smiling face being held tightly from behind of someone who looked almost identical to Ayden, down to the smile. There was no way he could be the same person, everything from the clothing, to the demeanor and even the way they dressed was the same. Cameron even had a hat of similar color that she would steal from him on occasion and make him go crazy.
The sudden onset of memories caused her to jolt forward and collapsed into some durasteel containers in the hanger bay, grabbing the attention of a few workers who merely shrugged it off. Her right hand shot to her forehead, her muscles twinging in her neck and eyes as the memories came at her with blinding speed.

Tyrena Spaceport.
Shuttle prepping to launch to the NRSS Destiny for mission to Maxis Colony.
“That’s my lucky hat!” She could hear the distress in his tone over the comlink. “Come on Ara, isn’t it against some Jedi Code to steal?”
“Who said I stole it?” She laughed a bit on the other end as she walked over to a container and sat down on it, her legs crossing at the heel. “Alright, alright…” She took a breath. “Calm down killer, I promise I didn’t take it.”
There was a long pause on the other end of the comlink and then some rustling around. “You aren’t going to make me look for it, are you?”
Aaralyn smirked and held up a finger, bringing the comlink close to her lips. “It’s your lucky day Captain Savros…” She held her breath, biting down on her lip with every attempt not to laugh. Finally, she let loose a soft giggle as Commander Fox strode by her and raised a brow, helmet in his arm. He made a motion towards his head and mouthed hat, this caused Aaralyn to laugh a bit harder.
Aaralyn’s laughing didn’t make Cameron feel any more comfortable, instead he sounded a bit worried but tried to hide it behind a toughened voice. “Where Ara?”
“Oh calm down, gosh…” She said with a disgruntled tone. “You’re not being fun today…” She motioned to Fox to head towards the ship. “In the refresher unit, hanging up…”
“That supposed to be a hint?” He said with a grumble.
“Perhaps it is...it also comes with a bonus suit for you to take me out to some place fancy Mr. Coin when I get back!" She quickly cut off the comlink before he could respond, laughing a bit as she made her way to the ship.
Present Day
“Ma’am?” The uniformed CorSec officer shook her gently. “You alright?” He questioned as he took a step back, and looked her over once more.
“Yes, I just got a little dizzy and fell into these cargo crates…” Her face flushed slightly red as she made an attempt to stand and stumbled a bit. The CorSec officer quickly grabbed her arm and helped her up to her feet and motioned towards the bench nearby. “We have already arranged for transportation for you.”
“To where?” She questioned as she was assisted to the bench and sat down, her hands came down to her pockets where she frantically searched for the holopictures. The CorSec officer produced them before her and smiled.
“To see Mr. Cater of course.” He replied before handing her the holo images and moving on to resume his patrol.
