The plan had gone well. Between small black market groups who had been hoarding the chrystals to themselves, and those who had been stealing them, the Crimson Regime had gotten what it needed. Enough chrystals to last them a lifetime, even with their expansion plans.

The Crimson Regime had bought up the Stygium supply from every government or group in the galaxy which would sell them. They had even taken them from some which had refused. Mostly, however, every knew to cooperate with the Crimson Regime.

Other organizations, less reputable ones, stole the chrystals for them for profit. The Crimson Regime did not care how they came, or why, only that they had been secured. The Dark Lord was pleased by the work of the Sovereign Protector who had gotten the deads done. Now, the Crimson Regime would never again need to worry about their supplies of crystals draining. Infact, they now had enough to trade freely with their allies for things they would need in the future.

Little did the Dark Lord know it was his own daughter who had secured most of their supply. The same daughter that he now sent to work for the Bounty Hunter's Guild. She would do well, without doubt.

Varissa Somir, now a bounty hunter, had been given the task of aquiring Stygium Crystals by any means nessisary. She took special pleasure when those means included hijacking container ships bound for who knows where. She had gotten enough of a supply, over these many months, to supply not only the Crimson Regime for her father, but to take a great quantity to the Bounty Hunter's Guild, and her new boss.

Surely this would please her new employer, at least by what she had learned thus far. He would likely still distrust her, which was a normal feeling she got from many, but she would earn that trust.. over time.

For now, however, she would merely do the best she could for the situations that presented themselves to her. She would likely be one of the most useful tools that Beff Pike ever had the pleasure of using in his long, and prosperous, career.

(Each post from here down will be an individual mission for Chrystals in flash back form.)

The Sovereign Protector had been assigned to reach out to the government of a planet he had never heard the name of before. It had come to the Crimson Regime's attention that they were hording a great amount of the chrystals that his master covetted. Now he would see how they would respond to the Regime's offer.

He had landed without problem, and then arranged a meeting with the leaders of the local government. The meeting went fairly well, but in the end they had refused him.

Unwise.

He asked them again, this time more sternly, and when he was refused again, he slaughtered them like cattle. Each and every one of the highest ranking members of the governement fell in a bloody heap from the tip of his glaive. All but one, that is.

The Sovereign Protector asked again, this time the response was different.

"Yes, yes... take all you want!!"

.. and so he did. He took it all, and left the capital without another word or response. He left a government living in fear of his return. He left a world in awe and wonder.
