Sabrina was halfway to the post office when a group of policemen crossed her path. They had left their vehicle and were going on foot, towards a crowd of people that obscured what was happening.
"What's wrong, officer?" asked Sabrina as she hurried along. This crowd was in her way anyway, she might help with dissipating it a little. Because she was still wearing her badge the policeman recognized her as a fellow official, and even if that hadn't been the case her date with Vi at the recent Gala had attracted a lot of attention from the civilians and imperial officials alike. They knew who she was.
"We got a call. Some Prime's disturbing the peace, threatening civilians with a sword. Probably a confused newcomer", the detective in charge of the group replied. They were readying their tasers.
"Allow me to defuse the situation. With someone like that uniforms and weapons are just going to fan the flames. I'm wearing my civilian clothing, it should be less threatening." The same clothes that she had worn when meeting Sarah, to be exact. They still smelled of Coruscant's recycled air, even. Her eyes lit up with psychic energy as she lifted herself off the ground, flew over the crowd of people and landed inside the circle that had formed around the girl in question and a woman in a business suit that she was aiming a sword at. The woman was up against a housewall and was paralyzed with fear as the girl was impatiently questioning her. No surprise really, seeing how the sword was only a few centimeters from her chest. One step forward from the girl and...
"Alright, that's quite enough there", she called out with a firm but calm voice and stepped forward, making sure that her Empire R&D Department badge was well visible. Sure it wasn't a police badge but it showed that she was an imperial official, and R&D members were given a certain amount of power over regular employees. The girl's pointed ears, which Sabrina had mistaken for an exotic form of fashion - cosplay or something - twitched and she turned her head to look at her without withdrawing her blade. Sabrina's body was still surrounded by her psychic glow, but she wasn't using it yet. She was just ready to do so at any given second. "Please lower your sword, miss. You don't want things to escalate."
"Are you threatening me?" the girl snarled back.
"Call it what you will, but I don't want Primes threatening our well-standing citizens for no appearant reason. I'm sure that this can be resolved peacefully."
"I'm just getting some information. I'm not hurting anyone." When Sabrina raised an eyebrow and looked at the sword she was threatening the woman with, she added: "That's just because people are ignoring me. I'm not letting anyone walk over me anymore."
Sabrina sighed and withdrew her psychic energy, which caused the glow to fade. "You have someone here who won't ignore you and who has more info than random civilians that you pull aside on the street. Please put the weapon away, and I promise you that there won't be any repercussions for your prior actions." To prove her point she signaled to the policemen who were still fighting their way through the crowd. "You can holster your guns, officer. The problem is resolved."
Though the girl seemed sceptic at first she eventually lowered her sword then sheathed it again. "If you so much as try to double-cross me..." she snarled.
"... I don't intend on finding out what you will do", Sabrina concluded for her. The crowd was still staring but when the officers got to the center of the group and told everyone to disperse while a female officer approached the woman that was still in shock, they began to calm down. Sabrina on the other hand approached the girl, now taking the time to look more closely. Those were indeed canine ears, and very much alive... just like the tail poking out of her trousers. It reminded her of a certain someone. And she wondered how she wasn't getting a heatstroke from wearing those thick clothes in the warm climate of Costa del Sol. Some Primes were more eccentric than others, she guessed. "What is it that you need to know, then?"
