Mission: Chapter I: Resurgam
Location: Raven's Claw Mess Hall
Timeline: December 2386/January 2387

T'lan was glad to have finally disembark from Verelan-Hdrael on the Raven's Claw. He was starting to grow impatient for their next mission, and he hated the feeling like he was always being watched. He was a little surprised when it turned out the ship they were boarding was a mercenary ship.

He spent most of the time on the station in the laboratory, diligently reading over reports from the science division team aboard the I.R.W. Dominus. He was already three quarters of the way done with the report when he stopped to take a break in the Raven's Claw Mess Hall.

The mess hall was pretty empty, even though it was well after lunch time. He went over to the replicator and ordered his usual meal: jumbo mollusk and spiced tea. It was surprising that there were so few crew members in the mess hall at this time. After all, it was lunch time.

He sat up straight, and remembered the reason for getting on the I.R.W. Dominus to begin with: he was sent here by his brother, a senator of the Romulan Empire. He had been disgraced, as far as his family was concerned, as he could serve no other purpose than conduct research.

He had found himself wondering what he was to do. How can he be of use to the Raven's Claw? What was their mission? What does this have to do with the I.R.W. Dominus? He resolved to meet with the captain to get to the bottom of these questions. Only then could he find out his greater purpose among the Raven's Claw personnel.

Maybe his research could come in handy for future projects. He smiled to himself as he left the mess, satisfied with the idea of a promotion for himself. Perhaps he could retire young and prove his worth to his brother, who took great pleasure in mocking his pursuits.

"One day," T'Lan muttered to himself. "One day."
