When the topic of Gene Seeds ca up, everyone beca slightly subrged in silence again.
Gene Seeds, those mysterious essences, varied more or less from Battle Group to Battle Group. This stemd from the fact that when The Emperor first created the Starfighters, he established thirteen different legions with varying tactical demands and strategic goals. These original legions, therefore, possessed inherent differences in their genes from the onset.
Subsequent Battle Groups were established by splitting off from these thirteen original legions.
Essentially, all the Battle Groups today originated from those initial thirteen.
The Phoenix Battle Group's Gene Seed ca from the Second Legion: the Phoenix Legion. Their inception was extrely early; if not the first to be split off, they were certainly among the second or third.
After thousands of years of separation, the Phoenix Gene Seed had developed slight differences from that of the Phoenix.
It was not major, but it was real. The Phoenix seed to have lost the inheritance of the Phoenix Legion's famous flamboyant swordsmanship and close-quarters combat, yet they had beco even more resilient, adept at erupting from desperate situations.
This was also reflected in the Gene Seeds provided by Governor Gu Hang.
Previously, Matins had been worried that the Gene Seeds Mr. Gu had promised might actually co from another Battle Group, or even another legion.
In fact, that would have been more expected, more logical. Mr. Gu having so ans, so channel to acquire scattered Gene Seeds seed more plausible than him possessing the discontinued Phoenix Seeds.
Even so, Matins was prepared to turn a blind eye if it ca down to that. The survival of the Battle Group was paramount; the origin of the Seeds... let it be.
The best scenario would be to receive seeds from the Phoenix Legion; the source would be consistent. Even if they were from another original legion, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
After all, the differences between a created Starfighter and another wouldn't be massive unless one delved into genetic sequencing or surgery. Besides considering the variation in the Gene Seeds themselves, the individual differences between the Starfighters were also significant.
Matins had heard rumors about a ship-based Battle Group called 'Blood Shark', notorious for loitering around the empire's border Star Sectors without a ho planet, scraping by on various levies. Their Gene Seed was said to originate from the Seventh Legion, the Bat Legion, but there was gossip about strange elents being mixed into it, making it a ss.
While undesirable, he would have to accept such an outco if it ca to that.
What else could be done?
Unexpectedly, the Gene Seeds that Governor Gu Hang presented were indeed the unadulterated Phoenix Seeds.
No matter how or from what angle they were scrutinized, they were undeniably pure Phoenix Seeds.
Matins wasn't sure whether to be happy or not. Find adventures at empire
If you look at it from a negative perspective, wasn't it wonderful that the lineage of his Battle Group could be kept pure and intact?
But on the positive side... the source of Mr. Gu's seeds remained a thorn in his side. He had been trying to convince himself that all of this was a blessing from The Emperor, a divine grace. Yet, he couldn't help but wonder, why had The Emperor chosen such a person?
As for the less permissible thoughts... to be honest, they had crossed his mind, but he felt they were impossible.
Corruption by Chaos? Impossible! How could pure Phoenix Gene Seeds contain the taint of Chaos? Absolutely not!
With all sorts of strange thoughts swirling in his head, Matins and the others, following Priest Rizzo, t with three youngsters who had just completed the Gene Seed implant surgery and were now laying in their hospital beds.
Upon seeing them, Matins almost instantly cast aside all the thoughts, appropriate and inappropriate, that had occupied his mind.
All he had left was the hope that they would grow up healthy.
He could sense a resonance within their shared bloodline as it flowed through different bodies.
He sincerely hoped the Battle Group would grow stronger and reclaim its forr glory!
