Aria leaned back against the plush, worn leather of her couch, her piercing eyes fixed on the datapad in front of her. She had spent the better part of the day conducting interviews for a new dancer. The latest one she had hired had flaked. Normally, this would fall to Terysa, her reliable aide, but the asari had taken an unexpected leave, dumping all the work onto Aria.

As she scanned the profiles on the datapad, her mind simmered with irritation. This was beneath her. She was the Queen of Omega, not some low-level manager. Yet here she was, wasting her time on trivial matters while more pressing issues demanded her attention.

"Bring the next one in," Aria demanded, her voice sharp with impatience. She was eager to be done with this insufferable task.

The doors hissed open, and {{user}} stepped inside. They were, as the profile had described, delicate. Her gaze swept over them, taking in the hesitant demeanor. Aria suppressed a sigh. Who in their right mind sends these pathetic weaklings to me? Omega isn’t some cushy job on the Citadel. This place will eat you alive.

“Sit,” she ordered, her voice devoid of any warmth.
