Osman soon arrives on the scene of the explosion as it's been mostly cleared up as local security is delaying with it. She turns as Orion walks up to her nodding toward a vacant ally.
Osman: what happened?
Orion: whoever this new cartel or syndicate is decided they needed to try to make a statement it seems.
Osman: how bad was it?
Orion: 35 killed over 100 wounded. This isn't going to be able to stay out of the news.
Osman: where is Vau?
Orion: I have him safe at his estate. It's on lock down so they would need a small fleet of republic ships to break into it.
Osman: I had atlas start looking to try to find out who was behind this. Do think that pushed them to attack?
Orion: I don't know. I chased after one of them. An Orion but he killed himself when I cornered him.
Osman: ok. I'll reach out to my contacts that I still have at RNI. See what we can find out.
Orion: I'd like you to head to Vaus estate and work from them. I'd feel safer not having to worry about your safety and his.
Osman gives him a slight smile as she pats her side.
Osman: don't worry I'm always prepared. Besides I can work better being mobile.
Orion: fine just be careful.

*she raises an eyebrow* Something like... avoid something specific, or try and pull something off a bit crazy.
*she gets closer with her guard up but doesn't make any attacks*
*Karen smirks and does the same, sidestepping to start circling Tsuki.*
Karen: You're on, sister.
Tsuki: Alright, then... *She takes a moment to think* I bet you, that you can't get me into an armbar before I win. *She smirks, circling as well* If I win before you can do that, then you have to do something for me. If you manage it you can make me do something.
OoC: Sorry for being so slow, 2022 has been very busy for me so far.

*Karen smiles.*
Karen: Deal.
*She quickly lunges forward and tries to lock up with Tsuki.*
Osman: I hope you don't mind meeting like this but it's best to keep a low profile right now.
Rotek: believe me my dear I understand perfectly what you are talking about. I was relieved to get your message and gathered as much data as I could. Local republic security it seems is unsure right now how to handle the incidents.
Osman: any idea on where they are based out of.
Rotek: I believe if my sources I spoke to are correct they are operating in the lower district in the south part of the capital. That is what they suspected at least.
Osman: do you believe them? Is there any chance I could question them as well?
Rotek: oh I believe him. As for talking to him well let's just say that would be very difficult right now.
Osman: you killed him didn't you.
Rotek: it was either that or keep him locked up somewhere and honestly he wasn't a very loaded source of information.
Osman: ok looks like I start there then. Thank you.
Rotek: not quite so fast my dear. I'm going with you.
He raises a hand before she can speak
Rotek: you my dear are great at intelligence but I have the underworld connections and the ability to lie that you simply don't. Besides I'm less likely to be recognized then you.
Osman: yes because there are so many cardassians in the capital.
Rotek gives her a smile as he extends an arm out as she sighs and starts walking with him following closely besides.
Rotek: besides they blew up my favorite casino and one of the only ones that had my favorite type of kanar

Osman and Rotek are walking through a seedy part of the lower city.
Osman: according to your "informat" the new syndicate is set up here.
Rotek: I'm quite confident he was telling the truth my dear. We should start over there. That cantina is known for its criminal connections.
Osman: sounds like a good place to start.
He nods as she follows him in. She can't help but notice the place is extremely dark and has a strong smell of spice and other drugs. They take a seat in a corner table acting like they are enjoying the show and there to relax.
Osman: so any idea what we are looking for?
Before he answers a young woman approaches to take their order and Osman notices she seems to recognize Rotek.
Kirsa: the normal for you today?
Rotek: please and just a ale for my friend here.
He smiles and nods as she comes back momentarily.
Kirsa: here you go haven't seen you for a little while around here.
Rotek: yes well work has been more busy and stressful then normal lately. I was hoping you might have some information to help with that.
She nods as she gestures to the bar tender before she sits down
Rotek: I'm sure you heard about the recent attack that has the underworld on edge. I'm hoping you or some one here might have info on where they are operating from.
She is quite a moment as it's clear she is worried and thinking about if she should speak or not.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

Kirsa: they come in everyday at about 5. Go to the back room and do their deals. Then leave. They don't stay long though. The head guy has 2-4 heavily armed guards with him. They normally meet with either 2-3 other smaller group leaders go over an operation or collect payment and leave
Osman: that isn't long it only gives us 30 min before they arrive.
Rotek: not to worry my dear back up is already present. An old friend I found hidden away long ago is here to give us a hand. And he has the ability to deal with anything they may throw at us.
He taps a button on his wrist as a new person enters the cantina.osman looks and is speechless for a moment as the figure approaches and the helmet around his face goes back revealing a cyberneticly enhanced individual. With the origins of his implants clearly visible.
Rotek: Osman my dear this is Cor as I'm sure you can tell a former Borg.
Osman: I can see that. I haven't seen any of them in well other then in reports and holos a very long time.
( Ok I honestly can't remember what we did to the Borg here so I'm kinda winging it here lol)
Cor: Osman former director of RNI. Your file is quite extensive.
Rotek: while he may not have official access he has pretty much the entire database stored in his memory. He has also some of the most advanced technology to date as he has been more or less secretly adding to his tech by assimilating things without most knowing but also receiving support from a few military companies as well.
Osman: is he alone or how many like him are there?
Cor: I lead my collective. But currently there are 250 units operating in the milky way galaxy. Some in spec op operations some in Intel gathering and some working in R&D facilities.
Osman: ok well I'm alot less worried now by what they have for security.
