A'ight, I was able to squeeze one in real fast!

So basically, the idea is that Zik was going to set up Omus Vol, discovered that his personal assistant had learned of his involvement on her own due to being unusually competent and redirected the vorcha after him in the hope for a serious promotion, and now is being made to look like she's the one in charge of Omus' little empire.

I figure that Aria realizes what's up, sends her jackboots over to Vol's place for Short and the rest of the crew, Omus manages to get out of it by conveniently "already having plans" to run off with the Dashers, who are currently in Aria's good graces for Declan's offer, and away we go.

Or you can spin things some other way and do it as you like! I just figured I'd be transparent about it, since I can't quite baby the scheme along as I might otherwise. Anyway, cheers!
