“Ms. Starstorm. Thank you so much for coming. I hope it’s not too much to ask… I wish to share something that is on my heart, and I would like for you to share it with the Alliance. I feel that it is important...”
Holly was honored to do this for the man. He was even allowing for a live broadcast. She motioned for
PIMA to join her and they moved to get a better view of the stage. While others were talking and enjoying the party Holly began her broadcast.
LIVE:
"This is Holly Starstorm reporting live for HNN. I am here at the fundraising gala where
Marovik Kobitana
is about to make a very rare public address. Let's watch live."
She stepped out of the line of view of PIMA and watched the little robot fly a bit closer to get the man in clear view.
"… and so I say this from the bottom of my heart… we must not give up on hope. Please, do not give up on the dream of what the Galactic Alliance could be. May Hope City be a beacon and a reminder to all of us of this hope, of what we can accomplish when…"
Holly was just thinking that this broadcast was going to land them into prime viewing digits because of the Senator
Tiresh Kobitana-Draellix
disappearance. Of course she felt bad the woman was missing, but bad news always sold better and it was Holly's job to be impartial and share the news even if it was hard to hear. She pulled out her datapad, getting ready to send a message to her editor, when suddenly there was a crash as the windows broke. The senator went down. People were screaming.
IT WAS PANDEMONIUM.
STILL LIVE:
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
"This is Holly Starstorm reporting live for HNN. It's pandemonium here at the charity gala on Coruscant. Mr. Kobitana has been attacked. We will bring live updates as we have them."
Yea... that wasn't really Holly's style. While everyone else was shrieking and ducking for cover the foolish blond had stood up and was looking towards the windows. She had pulled a small video recorder
(not live feed. just recorded) from her pocket and was searching the window for any sign of where the attack had come from. Meanwhile
PIMA was still recording the entire thing from over by the stage.
What Holly's small hand held recording device
(not live) caught was the armor clad
Koda Fett
staying long enough to confirm his kill. Or at least that is how it appeared to the reporter. Of course an investigation would need to be launched.
PIMA flew frantically over to Holly, still recording the entire situation.
Holly whipped out her comm unit and dialed the Coruscant police. She knew one of the inspectors direct number. When he answered he was less than thrilled. Holly was usually a pain in the behind to this man.
"What now Starstorm? I've told you I can't make a statement until the evidence locker is..."
"Listen there has been an attack at the charity fundraiser. Mr. Kobitana has been hit. I suspect he's dead. I've seen a Mando fleeing the scene. I'm going after him."
"WHAT? NO! STARSTORM STAY WHERE YOU ARE!! LISTEN TO ME! OFFICERS ARE ON THEIR WAY! STAY THERE!"
Holly hung up on the man and slammed the buttons for the lifts. They were taking too long so she threw herself to the stairs and started down them three at a time. As she ran she slipped her high heels off her feet for more speed. She burst out of a side door and jumped into a speeder, right as her little yellow droid flew in front of her, as if admonishing this type of behavior.
"PIMA stop recording."
NOT LIVE:
"PIMA fly ahead! See if you can find a Mando fleeing the scene."
The droid beeped and started to fly off in the direction Holly indicated. She was in the air in no time, foolishly flying after a possible assassin for her career.
...Oh Holly
