Restoring Karaz Ankor by killing Urk, Grobi and Thaggoraki before holding back the Chaos and Vampire menaces because all of the Manlings couldn't handle it.
A bit extreme given that you don't know that the Bothan has don't anything to Kira. For all Luka knows, the woman could just have given Kira some bad news.

[X] She tries to discreetly get Kira's attention.
As you watch Kira and the Bothan woman, you try to discreetly get Kira's attention, moving off to the side so you are in clear view for Kira, but still out of sight for the other woman. It takes a couple of moments for Kira to notice you as she is distracted by the presence of the Bothan woman, but she eventually does and you can feel the relief rolling off of her.
"Luka!" calls Kira once she realises that you are there and paying attention to the situation.
The Bothan woman jerks as you begin to march forward and you can feel her anger and annoyance at Kira's shout. Her hand does to the blaster holstered at her side as she turns to face you and you react in turn, dropping your shopping bags as your hands go to your lightsabers. By the time that the woman has turned to face you with her weapon drawn, the glowing blades of your lightsabers are snapping into existence. For a moment, you start at each other before the woman abruptly turns.
"Sorry about the misunderstanding Miss Jedi," says the Bothan as she begins to walk away, "I'll be leaving you two be and be going on my way now."
"Not so fast," you say as you remember how Kira was feeling before you showed up and just how swiftly the woman jumped to drawing a lethal weapon on you, "I want to know what is going on here."
"I am leaving, that is what is happening," states the Bothan without stopping.
"She is a slave catcher for the Exchange who wants to return me to my old mistress," says Kira coldly as she glares at the retreating woman.
"Then I am placing you under arrest," you tell the Bothan as you point a lightsaber at her, "Resist and I will have to use force against you."
The slave catcher's response is simple and to the point as she opens fire with her heavy blaster pistol. With the distance between you, you estimate that she will get at least a couple shots off before you can close the gap between with her. With a swift flick of your silver lightsaber as you activate one of your energy shields, you deflect the first shot back at the Bothan, striking her shoulder and making her wince in pain. The second shot also fails to connect, but unlike the first, you are unable to deflect it back at the Bothan and the blaster bolt instead hits the street.
And with that, you have closed the gap. You swing with both of your lightsabers, trying to go for non-lethal hits over fatal blows. Regardless of your intentions, both of your weapons fail to connect with the woman as she scrambles away and you spot her dropping something. You glance down and your eyes widen as you spot a grenade at your feet. You try to jump away, but you are too late and the grenade reveals itself as a CryoBan one as you find yourself flash-frozen.
The freezing cold is so painful and worst of all, you can't do anything as for the new few seconds, you are frozen beyond your abitity to move. Those handful of second feel like they are dragging out to minutes and you feel so helpless as you just see the Bothan shooting you once more as she runs off. As someone else shoots back at her, you are a helpless, unmoving target and the blaster bolt strikes you just to be absorbed by the energy shield you activated at the start of the fight.
When the cold fades and you are able to move again, you stagger forward. Your body is still freezing and feels so stiff as you stumble forward. Even as the entirety of you aches, your left hand, the organic one, hurts the most.
"Luka!" calls Kira and you feel concern radiating off of the Togruta as she grabs you with both hands steadying you as you sway on your feet, "Are okay?"
"Not particularly," you reply, "You?"
"You stopped Som before she could do anything to me," replies Kira, "She did get away. I got a hit in on her while she ran, but it wasn't enough and you aren't in any shape to chase her."
"I need to see a healer," you say.
"Yes, you do," says Kira, "I'll call Bastila. She'll know what to do."
Your friend helps you over to the airspeeder and as you climb into the passenger seat, Kira goes to collect your shopping at your request. It would be a shame for this trip to be for nothing when all of your shopping is just there and unharmed apart from being dropped.
Mum is waiting for you at the landing pad when Kira parks the airspeeder and you can feel her concern with the Force before you can see her with your eyes.
"Are you okay Luka?" asks Mum as she rushes up to the airspeeder and you feel the soft warmth of the Force as she uses Force Heal on you.
"I need to see a healer," you tell her, "That helped, but my hand is still hurting and my body is still hurting. It is my left hand that hurts by the way, the organic one. My prosthetic is fine."
"I'll book another appointment with the hospital," says Mum, "What happened?"
"Kira?" you reply by passing the question over to Kira as the Togruta was there for all of it and you haven't had a chance to find out what happened yourself.
"A Bothan bounty hunter recognised me," explains Kira, "Called herself Som Vah'ren. She does some work for the Exchange and recognised me from a bounty that my old owner has apparently posted on my head. She decided to try and collect it and when Luka came back, she was trying to 'persuade' me to come with her without a fuss. Then the fight happened. Luka and I both got a hit on her, but she still got away because she hit Luka with a CryoBan grenade so I brought her back here instead of chasing after Som."
"I'll have someone look into it, even if I have to do it myself," says Bastila sharply before softening her tone, "Kira, don't worry about this bounty. You are under my protection now and even the Exchange isn't strong enough to challenge that."
"They'll try," points out Kira.
"Some might, but other bosses are too smart to try and take me on," replies Bastila, "If I have to, I will have Revan stick HK on them, but I doubt it will get that far. Exchange bosses might be ruthless and immoral, but they aren't stupid. Whoever it is will cut their losses before escalating to that point. In other news, we will be leaving Coruscant soon as I have our new mission lined up."
What is Bastila's (and Luka's) next mission?
[] Pirate Hunting. Bastila and Luka will be assigned to assist a Republic taskforce in hunting down a troublesome and unusually large gang of pirates and slavers. (Pilot Path)
[] Senator Escort. Bastila and Luka will be escorting the Senator of Onderon to meet with Czerka Corporation's board of directors in regard to the information that was uncovered at Kaliton. (Diplomat Path)

Now that the short break on Coruscant is over, Luka will be moving onto her second mission. I wanted to put more into the update, but I struggled with the second half so I ended up keeping it short. Luka's injuries will be healed up for the next update. In regard to the vote, I have two sort of paths that I don't mind writing. One is the pilot path where Luka flies a starfighter and does paramilitary stuff and the other is where she does diplomacy and politics to influence the galaxy. I would give more options, but these two paths are ones I want to write as QM so they will be focused on primarily. Don't worry about getting locked into a path, I am just stating that they are to give you an idea of what you are getting into by choosing that mission.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.

Lets not get into anymore fights, I'm starting to think Luka is cursed. On second thought, being in a starfighter is much safer than escorting a senator. Who will most likely get attacked if the Revan luck of finding trouble holds up.
