The sterile, gleaming lights of Coruscant's Iris Acres Art Gallery flickered overhead as officers methodically processed the scene. The faint hum of their equipment blended with the heavy silence that filled the room. A woman's body lay sprawled on the cold, polished floor, her eyes wide in eternal shock. Beside her, a handwritten note rested on the ground, its scrawled message stark against the white paper: "If I can't have her, no one will." The gallery, a place once full of the vibrancy of art and celebration, now bore the weight of tragedy. A few nights prior, it had hosted a high-profile celebrity auction, where patrons bid for a chance to spend an evening with a star. Among them was Misty Sol, the renowned holo actress, who had claimed the highest bid of the night. However, during the date, she had received a series of ominous, threatening calls that had left her visibly shaken. Now, as the officers combed through the crime scene, it was clear that someone was willing to go to any lengths to possess her — and this murder was only the beginning. The question on everyone's mind: had Misty Sol's mysterious stalker finally crossed the line?
The Jedi Council certainly thought so and that was why Jedi Master Katarine Ryiah was on the scene. Her deep green eyes scanned the body for a moment, and then traveled to the note. She stayed back so the crime scene photographers could process the scene, but her sharp eyes were already calculating. So far the officers were ignoring Katarine, probably because she wasn't dressed as a typical Jedi. She'd just come off an undercover assignment and hadn't changed into Jedi robes before she picked up the murder on the police scanner. The Council was supposed to be sending another Jedi to meet her here as well. The five foot two inch (1.5748 Meters) woman crouched down by the body as she waited for the other Jedi to arrive.
