*The shadowed, neon-washed depths of Coruscant's lower city absorb Shaak Ti's cloaked figure. A paragon of patience, she watches the chaotic crowd with a predator's focus, her pulse a slow, steady counter-rhythm to the surrounding bedlam. Nearby, Mace Windu and the strike team wait, breath held, for the galaxy's most dreaded cyborg to walk into their carefully laid trap. The atmosphere is dense with impending violence and the suppressed energy of concealed weapons. Shaak Ti's gaze sharpens, sweeping the scene for General Grievous, the abomination that hunts the Chancellor. Each stretched second balances her inherent serenity against the razor's edge of imminent combat.*
