Adolf Johann gave Abathur money to make sure he stayed loyal and worked hard.
“Haha, Director Abathur, I heard you have a gift for me? Where is it? I don’t see anything.” Adolf Johann, now closer to Abathur, asked in a relaxed way.
Abathur answered, “Prime Minister, they are two Zerg eggs. They are big and dangerous, so I didn’t bring them here. They are at the military spaceport.”
He showed the purpose of the eggs using a hologram on his personal device.
“So, you mean we drop the eggs on other planets so they can evolve?” Adolf Johann’s sharp eyes lit up. He looked excited.
“Yes, Prime Minister. The Zerg on Planet Life One used up all the genes there. If they want to get stronger, they need new genes. But I think we should drop the eggs on tough planets. That way, they will find strong genes faster and create better Zerg soldiers. Also, the eggs must be placed near high-energy gas mines and need ‘Tide’ crystals for power,” Abathur explained.
“Abathur, do you think the Zerg can fight human soldiers and win?” Adolf Johann asked. His face showed deep thought.
Abathur paused. He knew Adolf Johann wanted to use the Zerg for war, but he did not think it would happen so fast.
Abathur said carefully, “Prime Minister, the Zerg have never fought humans before. From my tests, they can kill unarmed humans easily. But humans have advanced weapons. The current Zerg cannot defeat them. Even if the Overmind led them, a small human fleet could destroy them all. But if they fight humans, they will learn faster. They can also take human genes and use their battle skills.”
Adolf Johann stepped forward, patted Abathur’s shoulder, and said, “Abathur, I understand. I will handle the next steps. Go back to Bio Lab Zero and improve the Zerg. If anything happens, use the secure channel to talk to me. I will support you fully. Soon, I will take over Planet Life One from that small nation in the Saint Maiden System. Then, the whole star system will belong to us. Your lab is now top secret. Only you, the President, and I can access its data.”
After Abathur left, Adolf Johann called Martinez, the intelligence director of the Revival Task Force. He needed him to carry out a secret mission.
Adolf Johann knew he was not fully in control yet. The old President was still in power and could stop him.
People would never accept the Zerg. If the President found out, he could use this to remove Adolf Johann from power.

Also, Adolf Johann was new to his position. He had to be careful. If people found out he was testing bioweapons on humans, they would remove him or even arrest him.
Adolf Johann thought, “The Zerg eggs should be placed by someone else on a good planet for testing. They need to fight and take new genes.”
Martinez entered the room. He stood straight and said, “Prime Minister.”
He was tall, had sharp features, and cold blue eyes. He looked strong and serious.
Martinez had worked with Adolf Johann for a long time. He was loyal and trusted.
Adolf Johann asked him to sit and started talking about the mission.
PIRATE NEBULA—TEUTONIC PIRATE GROUP HEADQUARTERS
This place was an old mining asteroid, about 300 kilometers wide. A lost civilization once mined it, leaving behind tunnels and caves. The Teutonic Pirates found it and made it their base. They called it “A Cathedral.”
No one knew why they named it that, but people got used to it.
The asteroid moved in a strange way. Sometimes, it took 5 years to orbit its star. Other times, it took 20 years.
This made it hard to find. That’s why the Teutonic Pirates liked it.
They never let outsiders in. Only high-ranking pirates could enter.
But today, someone important was visiting. He was not a pirate.
A black, diamond-shaped ship with no markings sent a code to the tower.
After checking the code, the pirates allowed it to land in the leader’s private spaceport.
“Gore, why didn’t the radar see it coming?” a major in the control tower asked.
The radar operator, Gore, was sweating. He checked the system over and over.
The ship had suddenly appeared above them. It sent the correct code, but the radar showed nothing. If it had sent the wrong code, the pirates would have shot it down.
After checking everything, Gore said, “Sir, the radar works fine. I think the ship has stealth tech that makes it invisible.”
“What?! Our radar is the best in the galaxy! We got it from the Alemannic Republic! How could this happen?” The major was shocked.
The ship’s hatch opened with a hiss. A short, middle-aged man with a mustache stepped out.
He wore simple clothes, but his presence was strong. His sharp eyes scanned the area.
The pirate leader, Radeho, walked forward with his men. He smiled and said, “Haha, Director Rafael, welcome to ‘A Cathedral.’”
Rafael shook Radeho’s hand and whispered a few words to him.
Radeho’s face changed. He ordered everyone to leave the spaceport.
A robot rolled in, carrying a large metal container. It stopped in front of Rafael and Radeho.
Radeho looked at the label: Hope No. 2.
Rafael took a small box from his pocket and gave it to Radeho. “This is a Gamma-level mission. The box has all the details. If the Teutonic Pirates want more support from the Alemannic Republic, they must complete it.”
Radeho took out a small device from the box and placed it over his right eye.
A red light flashed, and he read the secret mission details.
After five minutes, the device melted into liquid and disappeared.
Radeho looked at the Hope No. 2 container. He was deep in thought.
Gamma-level missions were the hardest and most secret. If the mission failed, all involved had to die to keep it hidden. If they succeeded, the reward was huge—10 million Biut Universal Credits for each person and a triple promotion.
For Radeho, this was more than money. It was about the future of the Teutonic Pirates.
What he decided now would change everything.
