[ It would seem they were both in luck that day, though how long the luck will hold remains to be seen. She doesn't know it yet, but help, however inadvertent, is on the way.
Of course, when Koriand'r hears the sounds of a ship going by overhead her first thought isn't that she's saved, it's that the Galra forces have found her. She has no where else to run, though. If she returns to the planet she'll bring destruction with her, either in the ensuing chase or in the ensuing fight. If she flees into open space she'll be a sitting portkin. Sooner or later they'll search all the orbiting moons and anything large enough to hide her, and that means they'll find her.
The way she sees it the only choice left to her is to make a final stand, to go out fighting if she is to die here. She will not die cowering like a weakling. She will make them earn their victory and she will make sure that it costs them dearly.
Ignoring her aches and pains, the former princess rises to stand, leaving the cave sized crater she'd been laying low inside of, balling her fists as she hears the engine powering down enough for a landing, just within her line of sight. Her eyes begin to glow, her jaw clenches, and her stance widens into a fighting position- standing her ground.
I know the feeling!

She's ready. ]
