Stardate: 60320.1545
Setting: TANGIERS ORBITAL, Main Floor

Having studied the perfection and order that had been the Tal'Shiar, the Romulan/Terran hybrid was taken aback when she walked onto the TANGIERS ORBITAL and was met with absolute chaos, both in the emotional and physical sense of the term. Looking at the numerous unruly aliens that filled the main floor of the casino was enough to make Sevaal wish that the Empire would send a strike team to put an end to this madness. Stepping further onto the main floor the Tal'Shiar operative realized that it was because of people such as those that had made agents such as herself become a needed part of the universal balance.

Arriving on the noisy, chaotic main level filled with creatures of all manner of shape and sizes, the Romulan/Terran hybrid was greeted by the sudden appearance of a holographic being. "Welcome to the TANGIERS ORBITAL. We have at your disposal games and entertainment to satiate all of your wants, needs and desires. Should at any moment your desires not be fulfil, please do not hesitate to call upon our staff. They will be more than happy to help you in any way possible."

Looking unimpressed by the flamboyant welcome, the Romulan/Terran hybrid stepped right through the hologram causing it to momentarily vanish before reappearing behind her as if nothing had happened. Having taken on the persona of Sevaal to what many would have considered to be an extreme, the COO of the ANUBIS forced her way into the crowd, now more than ever convinced that establishments such as this one were the reason why the Star Empire and its ways were the right one.

Stardate: 60320.1600
Setting: TANGIERS ORBITAL, 2nd Floor

Having survived the chaos of the level below, the Romulan/Terran hybrid now appearing as a full Romulan, had arrived at a small bar overlooking to the entertained crowd below. Looking down onto the oblivious mass, the COO began to wonder as to the exact nature of the Intel the crew of the ANUBIS had been meant to gather, the flavour of the people she had so far come across having left her with a very bitter taste in her mouth.

Scrutinizing the crowd with great interest, the Tal'Shiar agent took note of some of the people she had been looking at, noting the presence and location of a Cardassian woman near the slots machine and the wanderings of an Andorian man who seemed very interested in reaching higher ground. Thinking back to the floor layouts of the casino which she had committed to memory, the COO was surprised that she had been able to identify two members of her team so rapidly, but the Romulan/Terran hybrid soon accredited this to her having completely taken on her role as Sevaal.

Although looking at the people below, the Tal'Shiar was also very aware of a certain individual sitting several seats behind her, his eyes having followed her every movements since she had arrived on this level. Not fitting any of the descriptions given to them as potential people to avoid, Sevaal had seen no need to discontinue the man's interest in her, thinking instead that maybe he would be the first of many to fall beneath her questioning, and multiple identities.

Having found nothing more of interest on the level below, the Tal'Shiar agent turned and made eye contact with the man who had been so intensely observing her all this time. Seeing that she had seen him, the man invited the undercover agent to sit at his table, an invitation that Sevaal accepted without any hesitations. Arriving at the small octagonal table, the operative was welcomed by a large smile and an introduction that fitted the establishment's flamboyant atmosphere. "Luck must have decided to give me another chance, please have a seat and join me. I am Guntiz, trader by profession and seeker of fine and beautiful objects and artwork. Please tell me that my luck has truly changed and that there is something somewhere in this universe that has been made to capture your beauty."

Thinking as Sevaal, the words of the Dralian had little effect on her, the Tal'Shiar agent looking at the alien with only a mild amount of interest suspecting that a trader of his obvious limited resources would have little valuable information to give. Joining the trader as T'Pring, a Vulcan's commodities trader, the woman thought that maybe, just maybe, this Guntiz might have something interesting to talk about, at least for the next few minutes or so. Either way, the Romulan/Terran hybrid had committed herself to being with the Dralian for the time being, not at all thinking about the situation or her company as Lt. Cmdr. Serenna, COO of the Federation ship ANUBIS.
