A Coup In Crimson

Don't be shy, follow me. My men have secured the city. Those rebels won't be bothering us here. We're pacifying the outlying regions as we speak.

Let's go to my office. Excuse me? This is your office? Oh, you misunderstand. When you asked for Imperial aid, there was an understanding that an the Empire would oversee that aid.

I beg your pardon? I don't look like an Imperial official? What do I look like, pray tell? No need to speak, I can see it in your eyes.

You thought I was just some arm candy for an well-paying officer, right? You're not the first to make that mistake.

You only need know that a Crimson Commander has been chosen to oversee this sector for the foreseeable future.

You seem distraught. Guards! Take the former governor to a holding cell. Let him cool his head.

Now, where was I? Ah yes.

Mobilize my fleets! Begin all operations!

Long Live The Empire!
