Based on a couple reports from Cerberus Daily News, which is the bulk of what I'll be going off of. Namely: the leaked economic reports, the TRUE STORY ABOUT THE GETH!! leaks + the raloi delegation. Beware tons of headcanon-- these are both incredibly skeletal characters, and Bioware never bothered to give us a description of the raloi, so. Anyway! I'm trying to keep this simpler than my usual long-ish fills. Hope you enjoy, OP~
Title may be subject to change i seriously couldn't think of anything.
One and a half centuries past, Tela Vasir had gotten it in her head to leave a promising career as a military commando behind, and return to the city of Nos Astra. Born and raised in what passed for the middle-class suburbs of the commercial juggernaut, she found it difficult to abandon it entirely, even if it meant leaving the more 'relaxed' environment of Citadel space behind

The documents, released on the extranet for all to see, was uploaded none too long after the populist movement had begun, turning an already tense situation into an outright firestorm. Councilors Valern and Tevos, both hailing from affluent backgrounds, took the worst of the backlash from the press-- accused of everything from class warfare by those who were feeling the worst of the economic downturn, to a range of ludicrous conspiracies. Though Sparatus was not without his share of bruising, his military background served as its own shield against harsh criticism; though he was being taken in by the fiscal elite, he was, at least, less likely to be behind the measures taken

"It's likely he expects to be prosecuted for releasing it, yes. And this, of course, means sending anyone out to either locate a copy, or deal with him directly, would lend him credibility. Without knowing what the manuscript contains, that's not a risk I'm willing to take, though it leaves me in a rather unfortunate position."
"Doesn't have to be a risk, you know," Vasir replied, considerate. "At least, not the kind you're making it out to be."
"I take it you have something in mind?"
"A couple somethings, actually. If word's already gotten out that someone from the Council staff has access to sensitive records, then you can bet there's a small battalion of information brokers trying to sniff him out, which, of course, means they've probably got their hands on an early release. They won't be looking to sell it off, of course-- they'll be more interested in combing through it so they can figure out what he didn't publish

Oooo, keep writing anon! Never thought I'd see this pairing before. Never even occured to me. But I like it! And also, this is well written. Can't wait to see where it goes.

OP here. I'm sorry I took so long to respond. Thank you for filling this so wonderfully, A!Anon! Can I admit right now that I love fills / fanfics in general that build characters (and romance) around intriguing plots, rather than begin straight with sex, so this was a great read. Also, I really love how you've written the dynamic between Tevos and Vasir; it's really close to kind of steamy intellectual and political intrigue I had in mind when I thought of this prompt. Looking forward to reading more!

And here's where we get into Weirdness. :V I'm hoping this won't be some explosive, sprawling plot that I end up not being able to keep up with, but I'd intended on it being on the strange side, so~
Thanks for the comments guys~ I wasn't expecting nearly as much feedback as I got. And, OP, I'm glad it's to your liking. :3 Let's hope it stays that way. As always, forgive me my mistakes: they are many, and I wanted to get this damn thing posted.
From the moment she'd accepted the task Tevos had given to her, Vasir should have known better than to assume it would be an easy one. It certainly seemed like it would be; she'd spent so many years working within the Shadow Broker's networks that something as simple as tracking down a manuscript paled in comparison to the more obscure leads she'd been handed over the years. True, she wasn't using the Broker's agents for this particular job, but it should have been a request any information broker could handle

"Just out of curiosity-- how does Din Korlack 'happen?' Or is that a question I'd be better off not knowing the answer to?" Getting a pointed look in response, she raised her hands slightly, and said, "Never mind. Just stick with telling me how it's relevant

"I understand," Tevos said, closing the distance between them to meet Vasir's gaze directly, "and I won't hold it against you if that ends up being the case... but, if it's at all possible to avoid prioritizing either of these situations, I would be in your debt."
"In my debt, huh?" Vasir said, lending her voice a note of levity. "Does that mean I can leverage you for dinner and a simulstim

For now, mulling over the idea of contacting Barla Von was one of them; pleasant though the volus could be, he made an effective replacement for a cold shower in the here and now... not that she'd ever tell him that.
It was a risk to reach out to him, she knew, but now that the stakes had been raised, she had only a few choices in how she proceeded-- assuming she wanted to accomplish what the councilor had asked her to. She'd had reason to ignore the Broker's agent before, and pursue other paths, but now, those reasons were beginning to look a bit flimsy.
In the end, she'd opted to sleep on the decision, too worn out from a full day's worth of sifting through dead ends to make the kind of informed decision she needed to. What she wasn't expecting was how much effort it took to push aside the thoughts she'd deemed as flippant upon her return to the cozy accommodations. Alright, so, it had occurred to her that simply indulging would have made her life easier, but that didn't meant she was altogether comfortable with the idea of going
