Some time after the events of [[Forum: | Some time after the events of the [[Forum:Shadow Wars|Shadow Wars]], Kirito and Asuna and their son Tatsuyi met up with Castris and her Elites, offering them a chance to work alongside his syndicate. At the same time, Rudolph McAlister, one of the spies whom Robert E. O. Speedwagon dispatched to investigate Castris's criminal empire, found numerous evidences about Castris's past and attempted to rendezvous with Ashe-5 so that they could bring down the empire, only to find that Ashe had been slain by a Guardian-issued [[Sword]]. Appalled and shocked by this, he attempted to find Castris and apprehend her, but is suddenly attacked by [[Forum:Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Kirito|Kotrik]], who immediately slaughtered him, but not before Rudolph sent a message to Speedwagon, telling him that Kirito had returned. By the time Speedwagon and his associates arrived, Castris had already escaped. As Speedwagon attempted to pursue Castris, he runs into Tatsuyi, Kirito and Asuna's eldest son who had stolen Cisco Ramon's metahuman powers and fused them with both his [[Necrotic Grip]] gauntlets and [[Thorn]] before murdering Vibe. Enraged by Vibe's unjust fate, Speedwagon summoned his version of [[Hammer of Sol]] and attempted to end Tatsuyi's life, but finds himself temporarily paralyzed by the effects of Thorn, which gave Tatsuyi an escape plan. Some moments after Kirito's family escaped, Speedwagon, no longer paralyzed, woke up to find his associates dead and vowed revenge on both Castris and Tatsuyi. | ||
Picking up on the investigation, however, he would discover a distress call from the syndicate's main arms supplier, Wren, who stated he and his band of smugglers was currently under siege from the syndicate. Perplexing the [[Titan (class)|Titan]], he followed the distress signal to the gunrunners personal [[Cabal carrier]] and provided support for his gang. He would meet up with the [[Warlock]] and would begin interrogating him about the syndicate and it's prior transgressions to which the Warlock stated that the syndicate is currently still neutral at this time. When Speedwagon told about Ashe's fate and the sword used to slay her, Wren was shocked, stating that the [[Dreaming City]]-make sword was recently purchased off him by one of the Empire's associates. Before he could let on about the buyer, the two are attacked by two mysterious Fallen assailants armed with a [[Forum:Fusion|mysterious power]]. The two are quickly overwhelmed by the empowered hostiles and Wren would end up abducted while Speedwagon would be knocked out, but not before meeting a third assailant who threatened his life if he got in the way again. | Picking up on the investigation, however, he would discover a distress call from the syndicate's main arms supplier, Wren, who stated he and his band of smugglers was currently under siege from the syndicate.

The Criminal Empire does minimally trained and undisciplined thugs, but often prefers highly skilled, well-motivated and militarily/criminally experienced members, often known to even pursue such individuals for recruitment or even kidnapping and indenturing them. As for those within the Empire itself, all are treated with an equal amount of respect (though, as previously mentioned, elites are looked better upon), so long as they are providing some sort of good or service to the house and are paid back in money, protection and Ether (for the Fallen), even for the wounded. However, those who are in debt to the house or have failed to meet a quota will often be punished, hard. How hard the punishment is depends on who they are, what they own and their current standing in the house. | The Criminal Empire does minimally trained and undisciplined thugs, but often prefers highly skilled, well-motivated and militarily/criminally experienced members, often known to even pursue such individuals for recruitment or even kidnapping and indenturing them.
