Evadne held her breath and pulled the hood of her cape over her head. She hoped that she wouldn't draw any attention to herself, but as she did so, she noticed that it had quite the opposite effect. The waitress came over to her and asked her what was wrong.
"There is nothing wrong. You are going to put a lid on my juice so that I can take it home with me." Evadne told the waitress. At first the waitress seemed to resist Evadne's suggestion, but when Evadne stood up and made like she was going to leave, the waitress hurried off to do what Evadne wished. Evadne closed her eyes and used a Jedi soothing technique to calm herself. She had to think about how she was going to get past the imperials. She simply got up and walked out of the bar, hoping that no one would notice her. As she walked, she kept her head down hoping that the storm troopers would interpret this as a sign of respect and not that she was trying to get away from them.
As she approached the Village, she saw smoke billowing from the huts. She ran towards the village as fast as she could, until she had the idea that maybe they would suspect something of her if she ran towards it so fast, so she slowed down and pretended just to be a curious by-passer. There were bodies scattered everywhere, and not one of the huts remained intact. She had to fight down the sense of fear and rage that bubbled up inside her. Why had they killed the only family that she had known for the majority of her life? She visited her and her husband's hut first, and had to turn her back to it as she caught a sickening glimpse of Rhannon's burnt corpse. His lightsaber lay beside his body, as if he hadn't even had time to call it into his hands before he died. Her stomach knotted and turned. She saw the metal key that was probably to the new ship, dangling from his fingers. She pocketed the key. It saddened her that she hadn't even been able to say goodbye to him. She had wandered off and left him, and that's the last image of her that he would ever have. It was the image that would be forever burnt into his mind. She frowned and wiped away some tears.
She then wandered over to Mim's hut, and saw pretty much the same thing. Mim's body was on the cot that she had been sleeping in when whatever it was that burnt the place struck. Had nobody sensed what was about to happen? Evadne turned away, with tears in her eyes. This had to be the work of a Master of the dark side… Someone who could cloak his or herself so that no one would sense him or her coming. Suddenly the thought occurred to Evadne that whoever it was might still be around. As she turned to leave, she saw her lightsaber lying on the ground. It appeared to be undamaged. She quickly called it to herself and clipped it to her belt under her cape, and walked towards docking bay 4000. There was nothing here that would make her stay any more.
