Crimson Dawn

First Light, Ord Mantell

Damir gave his blaster to enforcer Toht Ra and then proceeded up the turbo-lift to speak with Dryden Vos in his study. The door then slid open and Dryden approached to greet Damir.

"Welcome," Dryden said with a smile. "I assume you're here for a job?"

"Indeed," Damir replied gazing at the artifacts in the room. "What do you have to offer?"

Dryden gave him a datapad, "This is a map of an Imperial kyber refinery on Pantora," he said. "I need you to steal a shipment of kyber crystals. The Empire is building something and it could jeopardize our operations. But first, have some Burra fish. You need a good meal after that encounter with the Sith Acolyte."

One of the enforcers approached Damir with a large plate of a gourmet meal. He then took it and started to eat.

"So you need me to steal some kyber crystals from The Empire?" Damir asked. "What makes you think that the Sith Acolyte is not waiting given that he will have a fleet of Star Destroyers on standby to hunt me down?"

Dryden smiled and gave him an Imperial code cylinder, "You will need this to get past that blockade," he said. "Now you need a crew in order to steal those crystals."

"I'll find one," Damir said. "Hopefully we can even find out what The Empire is planning to build with those crystals."

Dryden nodded, "Before you go," he said raising his finger. "You need a change in appearance.

One of the Hylobon enforcers gave him a black and gold outfit. Damir then felt a sense of insecurity and reluctantly took the outfit with him.

"I'm ready to go," Damir said. "I'll get you the crystals."

Damir then exited Dryden's study and inside the turbolift, he quickly changed and collected his blaster from Toht Ra. He then activated his comlink.

"Cal Kestis," he said with a smile. "Ready to strike at an Imperial kyber refinery?"

Cal smiled back, "I'm always ready for a fight with The Empire," he replied.

"Excellent," Damir said. "I'm ready to meet with you when you are."
