Chapter 7

As test subject 206 set in his cell with the other test subjects he thought about Ghost's offer. He knew if he accepted it, it is most likely going to be much worse than this hellhole that he was already in. But he would be able to escape from this life to where in the future he would end up in one of those rooms and all sorts of unspeakable things could happen to him.

A guard walked into the cell area, alright TS (Test Subjects) get in two single-file lines and follow the green line on the floor.

Everything the TS did was an experiment even the food they ate to see how they would react to eating it, the clothes they wore to see if any of the fabric had a reaction to their skin, everything was a test or an experiment, many TS's did not know if today would be their last day alive always afraid.

Hey TS 206 guess what a girl said to TS 206. What is it TS 205 whose name used to be Claire? One of the scientists asked me if I wanted to join this program that they are going to be having soon. What did you tell him TS 206 asked. Well, I said yes of course with my parents now dead I have to find some way to survive on my own now, don't I? But you know it's going to be dangerous TS said with a worried look on his face concerned for the only person who ever treated him like family after his real family abandoned him. Yea but if I see a sliver of hope to survive this place and get out I'm taking it.

The next day inside Ghost lab. So have you made your decision TS 206 Ghost asked? Yes and I accept. Excellent hand this to your guard supervisor and he will take care of the rest. Ghost handed TS 206 a black card with a gold skull that has an eye in its mouth and a snack wrapped around the skull on the cover of the card.

Back in the cell area TS 206 handed his guard supervisor the card Ghost had given him, TS 205 also had the same card and a few other TS's.

The guard collected everyone who had the card and walked them down a corridor they have never been to before at the end of the corridor there was only one door. The door slid open and to the TS's surprise on the right side was a window that shows nothing but a black background with some large rocks floating around and a few strange metal-looking things flying around. They are in space.

The TS has been walking for a few minutes before reaching another door larger than the one they walked threw earlier. The doors slid open and revealed a very large space with a lot of other people who looked just like the guards or similar to the guard walking around carrying out different tasks, and there were even different types of those metal-looking things in this space.

Over here TS go line up with the rest of the TS. TS 206 saw a lot of other TS that he's never seen before loading up into one of those metal-looking things. TS of various ages were either sitting or standing in the small space inside the ships ready to send them off.

Back on planet Xerin

Report a lot of villagers have been disappearing turning the villages into ghost towns. We sent people to investigate but they found nothing. The Mount Hua Sect leader was certain it was the threat Lady Xiuying was talking about, step up patrols around those areas, and recruit more people I have a bad feeling about this. Suddenly Sect leader Hua turned around and looked up at the sky, it felt as if something was watching them.

On one of the imperial observation decks, whoa do you think he knows where watching them. I don't know we don't know much about this planet yet but if he does then that's fucking scary to know he knows something watching him from space.

Back on the black site inside one of the conference rooms, a group of people is sitting around a table going over their experiments and the results. It would seem that everything is effective on them, bullets work, they react normally to the food, most poisons work on them so far, we are still running some tests on them with drugs but so far everything checks out sir. Okay good now we move to phase two from the information that we gathered from them and extracted from their brains, there are a group of people that they call cultivator. Now it says they have inhuman strength and have the powers of gods and immortals, I want to see if this information is correct which means we are going to have to capture these so-called cultivators. But that also means revealing ourselves to the natives of this planet, so that also means building a good rapport with the natives so they think good of us and won't suspect us of the kidnappings. We can also use this to give them a negative image of the alliance.

Okay then how is Project Shadow going? It is progressing smoothly Mine Führer we haven't had any problems from the TS and they are on their way to the UnderWorld now. Good once they get there notify me. Is there anything else on the agenda today? No sir. Alright is there anything that needs to be discussed? No sir. Alright, then you are all dismissed.

After everyone left the room Ghost was alone, Phantom tell the ghost battalion to get ready in the coming week for a few snatch and grabs that might be a little more difficult, and also inform the men that phase two has officially begun.

Alliance HQ

Sir, I just got a message from the Council they said it's going to be hard to send us any reinforcements, at most they can send only send one fleet to our aid. Goddamit, you have got to be kidding me sigh fine so be it, ask the Council if they want us to pull back when the fleet arrives we can at least try to take some of the natives with us back.

In a certain place where there is no light whatsoever or on planets where life could thrive, there is a crack in the void.

On the Imperial homeworld inside the Imperial castle in a lab Ghost's real body is working to make the most powerful version of himself as he possibly can so he can transfer his consciousness over to it if anything where ever happen to his real body. His head suddenly shot up with a solemn look on his face. It has begun.
