5019 New Risk Factors
Perhaps It sounded silly to rely on a single person to placate and befriend a large amount of feral and unruly mutated beasts.
All of these creatures were originally predators, bizarre alien creatures or deviant designer beasts.
Their species were already strong or worrisome enough on their own. After they had undergone an unknown mutation that somehow activated their previously dormant spiritualities, they had transcended beyond their own mortalities and had the potential to become much greater life forms than their genes allowed!
The 'sacred gods' of Aeon Corona VII was the most representative example of this impressive evolution trajectory.
Ves had no idea how the cultists who Infiltrated the Starlight Megalodon managed to do it, but this exceptional species managed to thrive on the planet that had become flooded with higher-dimensional energies.
The circumstances at the time actually resembled the current situation of the Red Ocean in many different ways.
This was why Ves did not underestimate the evolutionary capacity for the mutated beasts held captive aboard the Dragon's Den.
The strongest of them should easily have the potential to become as powerful as Qilanxo back when she was alive!
Although there was a persistent voice inside his head that he was playing with fire by keeping these mutated beasts around, Ves could not resist the benefits of having so many powerful creatures at his disposal!
This was especially the case when the Age of Dawn no longer put all of the focus on inechs.
It was conceivable that the abundance of exotic radiation would Introduce new power systems.
Just as primordial humans along with many other powerful alien species once thrived in the Milky Way, the humans and aliens of the Red Ocean had the potential to become Just as powerful!
"I will Instruct General Verle to coordinate with you on this matter." Ves told Director Ranya. "Venerable Joshua can't babysit all of these mutated beasts day and night, but it shouldn't be a problem to station him and his Everchanger on this ship on a periodic basis."
Ranya already looked pleased with this answer. "That will greatly help us. Joshua may not be able to placate every mutated beast, but he should at least be able to identify the more aggressive and less cooperative ones. We will likely have to adopt a comprehensive approach and cull the beasts that cannot be redeemed."
"Inform me if you ever want to eliminate a beast. I can harvest a lot of useful resources from them if I am around."
Ves was not too unreasonable in this regard. The threat of a hostile and uncontrollable mutated beast was too dangerous to keep around.
The two talked a bit more about other important topics as they continued on their little tour.
He briefly became more interested in the captive populations of intelligent aliens.
The Dragon’s Den currently operated three internment camps.
The oldest and largest was a forest biome that housed tens of thousands of bird-like aliens called pakklatons.
They had become the favored test subjects of the T Institute due to their similarities to humans and their abundant supply.
The biome holding captured orven naval officers was less interesting as they did not offer any significant value to the Larkinson Clan's ongoing research.
The latest bio that the Larkinsons turned into an internment camp held what may possibly be the last members of the pescan race.
Though Ves sympathized a lot with the tall and oddly shaped humanoid aliens that originally lived on Davute VII, that did not change the fact that they should have gone extinct.
"It is becoming more challenging for us to hold these intelligent aliens on a long-term basis." Ranya told Ves as they both looked at a gathering of many pakklatons. "As you can see, many of them have gained a lot of different abilities. While none of them have ever become strong enough to pose a threat, we are becoming concerned that this may not be the case in the future. Exotic radiation is clearly promoting all of their growth, just like it does to my own companion spirit seed."
More than a few of the avian aliens inside the biome displayed a diverse variety of bizarre companion spirits.
The T Institute had used the pakklatons as a test bed for the development of companion spirit trees for several years.
This important research project could have never progressed so quickly without the selfless dedication of these volunteer test subjects!
However, all good things had to come to an end.
The Age of Dawn not only had the potential to unlock red humanity's evolution, but every other species as well!
Ves could no longer look down on these native aliens as much as before.
They may look harmless and fully within control, but who knew if any of these captive aliens responded much better to M87's exotic radiation than other organic life forms!
Director Ranya Wodin expressed a lot of concern with regard to their continued captivity.
"The Dragon's Den was not built to function as an alien prison. We are growing more concerned about our ability to restrain these sentient aliens. The T Institute won't agree with us on this, but it is my recommendation that we cull these captives as a preventative measure."
This subject was similar to the last one, but the risk factors were much greater this time!
As destructive as the mutated beasts could be, they were still relatively primitive by nature.
Without growing up in a proper society where they become exposed to all sorts of greater concepts, their vision was too limited.
He eventually shook his head. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
