[ Thea - Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus, Torus VI] [Approx One Month after Disaster] Thea could be found sat beside the topaz coloured infinity pool, wearing a black bikini with a black & gold chiffon shirt over it, seemingly enjoying the advantage of the shade and one of the more colourful cocktails. To those who didn't know her, she looked as though she belonged at this rather exclusive resort and even those who spoke to her every day, might do a double take thanks to the dark red hair and added Bajoran nose ridges. She was also known as Rohan Athea, a businesswoman with expensive habits and a reputation to match them. Or at least that's what her new background told everyone who decided to look into it. Considering the mission that was very likely as she wasn't the only one currently undercover. However this wasn't like any undercover mission that she had been on before and possibly one that wouldn't be repeated especially with what was at stake. Slight discomfort and pretending to be someone else was a small price to pay to protect the very foundation of the fleet and catch the person who had dared to threaten it. The news and orders from Command had arrived alongside Thea's surprise promotion to Captain. Which in itself had caused some getting used too, although Isaiah had helped as usual as they had celebrated privately. Not wanting a big celebration as it didn't feel appropriate with what they had learned. According to a trusted and very reliable source, Hezula, an Orion with an infamous reputation that would put the Syndicate to shame, had acquired sensitive information that could be very useful to enemies of the Fleet. Ship positions, shield and weapon frequencies were just some of the things at risk. So a plan had been made to recover this data disk by any means possible, before it was sold to the highest bidder. Naturally that was plan B should they fail in spreading rumours that the information was false. With such a sensitive operation, they couldn't exactly arrive by bringing the Mac and that's were fate had shined on them when Jem Sparkles was hired to be the entertainment for Hezula's party and auction. That was due to be held that night and so her and the people that she had chosen to join her, minus their new XO who hadn't arrived in time, had travelled in style aboard Jem's luxury transport Medusa. That had been a fun experience and a chance for everyone to be normal before the charade began. Although that didn't mean that the Mac wasn't too far behind and her ship was currently two star systems away on a survey mission. Considering everything and being treat like royalty for the past day and a half, Thea was hopeful that they would succeed and all that was left to do was make contact with their source and run through the plan one last time. But for now and acting the part, Thea reached for her drink and took a sip.

[ Hezula - Presidential Suite, Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus] images.app.goo.gl/PKj9XnHt1NkB2aHy5" Unacceptable, are you trying to poison me?" Hezula shouted, throwing the platter filled with pastries at the unfortunate hotel employee, who had delivered her room service. Rumours had been shared and whispered about her temper but now that they were witnessing it for themselves, the Bolian wished that he was somewhere else. Muttering apologies, he quickly left the room promising to return with another platter. Not that his promise mattered to the infamous Hezula as her assistants cleared up the rest of the mess. Hezula as usual ignored them and even her brief bout of well aimed anger, did little to calm her down. Infuriated with ineptitude, Hezula retreated into the master bedroom to check on her most valuable asset, the kind that could really put fear just by uttering her name. Opening her personal safe, Hezula grinned as her eyes gazed on the data disk, knowing that many of her rivals would happily kill her in order to have this amount of control. That thought alone was enough to give her a kick, the kind that needed to be sated and once she had secured the safe, away from prying eyes and with her anger abating. Hezula sought out the private entertainment provided by the resort, dismissed her team and hangers on and waited for the dark adonis to arrive. |

[ Jem Sparkles - Ballroom, Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus] images.app.goo.gl/TdPMyBpEYNWHDTvw9Being personally handpicked to provide the entertainment for a very exclusive party was something that Jeffy Mazal, took very seriously, even if he was now part of an elaborate and meticulously planned operation. Of course his alter ego lived for an audience and as far as Jeffy was concerned, this was just another job regardless of who had requested him. Normally he wouldn't be in full drag for just a practice session, however since he had acquired a new bodyguard as well, not knowing when the guest of honour would want to meet him. Jeffy had become Jem Sparkles, feeling as comfortable as he always did whenever he took on this persona. The outifit for the party itself was currently being altered and so it should considering it was custom made. Leaving Jem to put on a more casual look or casual for her. The band were pretty decent musicians and gracious as Jem halted the music. "Give me a bit more tempo and let's try it again".Tempo increased, Jem looked towards her bodyguard and grinned as she began to sing. |

[ Eliska Bremmer - Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus, Torus VI ]
Well, that was the sort of assignment one Eliska Bremmer could get used to all right.
She hadn't spent much time off-station since she had been assigned there, with most of her time outside the confines of the starbase being down on Kerelia's surface to accompany tour groups and other visitors who had to have a minder assigned to them. But to be told that she was getting tagged for some discreet work, and that she would have a generous credit account to keep up the appearances that she belonged as a guest at some expensive resort, that was... something new.
Now, she understood she was there to work, to have a hand in recovering some sensitive information before it could fall into the wrong hands, and that a discreet and clean operation was the favoured Plan A, but the Crewman had the very distinct impression that she'd been selected for the mission to provide any physicality that may be required for that to happen, or in case there was a need for a more aggressive Plan B. Now, that hardly meant she could not be enjoying herself either!
Perhaps she was not enjoying the same degree of accommodations and luxuries as Captain Baker had access to, but she certainly had nothing to complain about! However, her cover as security consultant Jana Cromer meant she could enjoy a small, private villa, and get away with keeping a close eye on security arrangements without arousing suspicion.
Which, she was doing herself from a lounge chair at the poolside herself.

[ Jurgha, daughter of Khar - Hotel Extravaganza] It was somewhat unusual that Jurgha had been recruited for this mission, but the reasoning was sound: her past experience, and the success of the operation that had brought her to Front Ear. If this worked, it would build on the alliance they had created two months ago. There was also the fact that she was not a recognizable member of the Mac's crew, and would be useful when going undercover. She had accepted, deciding that it would be worthwhile. Even if it did involve…this. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}  Going as herself, they said, would have been just as conspicuous as all of them barging in wearing Starfleet uniforms. If not more so. Which was why she was now scowling into the hotel mirror, trying not to pick at her weirdly smooth forehead. Jurgha definitely did not care for looking human. But she would do her part, distasteful as it was. And so she exited the private room, and made her way through the hotel where she was meant to be posing as a guest. At least they actually were meant to partake in the “extravaganza” around them. She planted herself in a seat at the hotel bar, strong drink in hand as she surveyed those coming and going. Something interesting had to happen eventually. |

[Ensign Enola - Hotel Extravaganza, Torus VI]
Enola took a deep breath and pretended to enjoy herself. The half-Vulcan had not let the surgical instruments get to her. Her clothes were scanty and covered only the most necessary. On her nose she wore fashionable - at least that's what most species called them - sunglasses and her ears were adorned with earrings. A silver chain hung from her sternum and in her hand she held a cup filled with chocolate ice cream. With a sideways glance, she slurped the already melted chocolate ice cream from a straw. Luckily, her lipstick had already dried well and wasn't stuck to the straw. Enola didn't really feel like going swimming or anything. A little suspicious, she looked around and thought about whom she should start a conversation with. If all of Mac's people sat here in silence, she would only attract attention. She slid her glasses back on the bridge of her nose with a routine grip and shook her hair a little before lying down on a lounger to get a little tan. It was pleasantly warm, yet she wasn't sweating. When she was sent from the academy, she never dreamed she would soon be here on a mission like this. Since she was not able to feel emotions - at least as long as she suppressed them - she did not feel any discomfort or anything like that, although the whole thing was accompanied by a certain thought. |

[Felicity Ellis Corona Tang - VIP Cabanas, Hotel Extravaganza, Torus VI]  Corona Tang; businesswoman, guest satisfaction facilitator, sometime semi-professional poker player and full-time wife of ten months, stood beneath one of the cream linen canopies and surveyed her domain. Her services were much in demand of late, and she and Aydin had been bouncing around the neighbouring systems, procuring special items and arranging meetings for special acquaintances. That she was here, on Torus VI was no coincidence, yet it would appear as normal as the day was warm to anyone looking too closely. The woman in the white and pastel-coloured dress, with the perfectly styled hair and careful make-up that defied the heat of the mid-afternoon sun, watched the team as they each arrived, all positioning themselves seemingly as far away from each other as they could. Corona's job entailed ensuring that all of these important guests had everything they needed, so with a pronounced grace, born of complete confidence in her abilities, she approached. The sound of her heels echoed around the pool area but stopped, falling silent as the woman herself stopped next to a Bajoran enjoying the shade and a cocktail. "Ms. Rohan." Corona Tang knew everyone worth knowing in this facility. The faces and names and personal preferences, kinks and open secrets of every guest were burned into her mind thanks to hours of keen study every night. "My name is Corona. Part of my function here in the Jewel of Torus is to ensure that our guests' every possible whim is taken care of. I am at your service."The corner of the woman's mouth twitched upward, ever so slightly. It had been some time since she'd seen Thea Baker.

[PO1 Jovireh Velal - Torus VI - Hotel Extravaganza]Jovireh had jumped at the chance to work another undercover assignment, and was grateful that she'd had far more time to prepare for this one. Especially since the 'mercenary leader' persona she had developed for the last really wouldn't have suited this environment. So like many of the others, she had spent plenty of time in Sickbay undergoing a transformation, and was quite pleased with the results. Her hair had been dyed black, her skin darkened a few shades to cover the green undertone from her copper based blood, and expertly-placed Trill spots trailed from her brow down her neck, shoulders and torso, disappearing only in the places covered by the red bikini top and floral sarong wrapped around her waist. The muscle tone built by a lifetime of activity was obvious in this outfit, but since Trills often enjoyed various hobbies, she hadn't felt the need to pretend she was less fit than she was. The flapping of her sandals as she walked towards the bar irritated the one who was so used to moving silently, but she did her best to ignore it. Stopping next to the dark-haired human who looked less than thrilled to be there, she flashed a smile at the bartender. "Samarian Sunset, please." The drink was far fruitier than her normal preference, but that was the entire point of being undercover, wasn't it?

[ Lt. Commander Isaiah Quinn Six - Hotel Extravaganza, Torus VI]  The recent past had been quite eventful and filled with surprises. One of those surprises had been yet another promotion for Isaiah's girlfriend, Thea. She was now Captain Thea Baker. Having two captains share a crew was a rare occurrence. Isaiah honestly wasn't sure why the decision had been made, but who was he to argue with it. He was still happy for Thea. And they hadn't exactly had the opportunity to discuss it very much. At least not before they were sent out on their first assignment. An assignment which wasn't a very pleasant surprise. They were here on Torus VI, attempting to retrieve critical Fleet information which was presently in the wrong hands. It was why the team had to go undercover, in hopes of getting close enough to have a chance of retrieving those secrets. It certainly wouldn't have been achieved by teams of armed and uniformed Starfleet officers storming the planet. While most of his companions had assumed identities of tourists, Isaiah had opted for a more subtle role. He was acting as a replacement worker for a member of the wait-staff. Several members of the wait-staff had apparently come down with an illness that had on home rest for the time being. Their illness wasn't exactly opportune. They had been drugged and injected with a compound that accelerated their digestive tract and aggravated their bowels. They would be all right after a few days, but they weren't in any condition to wait tables or rooms. Isaiah... or Six, rather, moved into the pool area. His eyes scanned the area, making note of where everyone was. He could see members of the team scattered around the vicinity. A pair at the bar, a few lounging around the pool. His eyes even found Ms. Rohan, a very generous tipper, speaking with Miss Tang (an unexpected and familiar face.) He would make his rounds, passing along information and messages as needed. It was a good way to keep suspicion down. Though, as much as he was observing everyone, there were quite a few eyes upon him as well. It had to be the hotel's uniform. His first stop was around the pool. He cleared his throat, after placing himself within earshot of the pair of ladies, lounging near the pool. "Excuse me, ma'am... Miss Cromer. Welcome to the Hotel Extravaganza. I am Six, your designated server. Is there anything I can get for either of you?" His eyes shifted between Enola and Eliska, to see if they had learned anything yet... or if they cared for an actual refreshment while lounging in the sun.

Hearing a voice, Enola turned and raised an eyebrow as she eyed the man intently. "Oh, yeah right, the bartender," she muttered, trying to focus on what she had rehearsed earlier. She ran her fingers through her hair before pulling her sunglasses off her nose in a routine motion. "Alvanian Melon-smoothie please" she ordered, shaking her head as she apparently tried to tie her hair into a braid. Upon closer inspection, however, the bartender might notice that she didn't have a hair gumi in her hand at all.

The burley bodybuilding chief of security was asked to help with this particular assignment. Sensitive information about the fleet was at stake. And that included Frontier Station. He wasn't too keen on going under cover. That wasn't his forte. He was bunker buster, not an agent. But orders were orders. Captain Baker had overseen the modifications to his face, and he was magically transformed via the modern medical practices, and turned into a... Human. Just one that didn't look like him. He was given a deep scar across the left side of his face, and his left eye was made to look milky white, dead as if it was part of the injury. The right side had been deeply pot marked to look like it was subjected to some sort of radiation, or acid splash. And needless to say it was uncomfortable. He stood off the side in the ballroom, wearing a sleek black business suit belt and shoes to match. Something that a bodyguard of an important person would look like. He gave Jem a slight nod as she asked for a change in the tempo, keeping an eye out. But he knew at the moment, there wasn't much to be done. The real work would start once the target made herself known.. Tag Thea Baker |

He nodded, picking up on the cue. She stated that the scenery was beautiful and that the staff was quite attentive. Six understood immediately nodding. "I'm glad to hear that the service here has met your expectations thus far," he replied, signalling that he understood and that there wasn't any deviation from that observation that had been observed. She then went on to inquire if they had radlers that weren't replicated. "I'll look into that right away, ma'am," Six stated with nod and soft smile. He then turned his attention to the Romulan-Vulcan hybrid. She ordered an Alvanian-Melon smoothie while attempting to tie her hair in a braid, without a hair gumi. The subtle shaking of her head, Six took to mean that she hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary yet. He simply nodded. "I'll bring that right out," he replied. He stood tall, feeling the sun was over his skin. "If either of you need anything else, you need only summon me." He gestured at motion-activated dome on the sides of their chairs. It served as a simple chime should they wave their hand above it. After a brief nod, he proceeded to move away from the pair and on to his next stop, the VIP Cabanas.

[ Thea aka Athea - Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus] From her current vantage point, Thea or Athea depending on who was asking or wanting to get close was able to observe other members of her team as they took advantage of the luxuries on offer. Although not everyone could enjoy the benefits that their cover allowed and that had definitely boosted their chances when it came to this mission. In fact one such person appeared on her peripheral as she drained her glass. Isaiah or Six as he was now known, gave Athea a chill at seeing him wearing the standard uniform. Appreciating that she was a very lucky woman who also happened to be his best customer as well as getting to share her bed with him under the pretence of a holiday fling. Although when one Corona approached her, Athea had to resist the urge to stand up and hug her. Seeing Felicity was like she was waking up from a dream and just being near brought back everything that she had missed about her. However managed to retain her new identity even if she did acknowledge her subtlety. " Pleased to meet you Corona, I'm sure that I'll definitely need your services, why don't you join me for a drink?". This was just perfect, especially as Six made his way over.

[ Jem Sparkles - Ballroom, Hotel Extravaganza, Jewel of Torus] Sven Aune was definitely the kind of man that both Jeffy and Jem were attracted too and yet there was something about this mission that only added to his mystique. As the tall, strong man looked in her direction as she sang, there was a flutter of something which only encouraged her to continue. As the song reached a crescendo, Jem let loose, something that she only reserved for full performances. However this was definitely special circumstances as it came to a successful end, allowing Jem a moment to appreciate the adrenaline that came with it. Once she had finished, she called her bodyguard over. " I think that's enough for now, should we go to the bar or my room?".
