Resignation

After the Ghimderi Representative scurried off, having failed in his attempt to buy Erich's allegiance, the man quickly contacted his partner in crime. Naturally, Tia was aware of what had gone down, and was quick to inform Erich that she would handle everything. After all, the Artificial Intelligence was embedded in the man's NeuroLink, which meant that everything he saw and heard, she did as well. 

"Don't worry Master, Tia will make sure the Ghimderi can not make any moves against you or your family. After all, their finances can easily be damaged with a simple action. They will be far too busy trying to recover from the damage Tia is going to cause to the galactic economy to worry about your threats. And it's done. The galactic stock market just crashed. Although this will affect countless lives, the Empire and its citizens will be unaffected. This should buy Master a few years to deal with the little snotlings!"
