Hariko Lee, leader of the Imperial Empire, dispatched the S2 fgship to newly cimed territories with a clear mission: find suitable females to form a formidable army based on the world of Irias. After four hours, the fleet returned with 1,000 selected women. Kanna, one of Hariko's trusted lieutenants, eagerly approached him.
"May I form the first space legion?" Kanna asked, her eyes filled with determination.
Hariko, holding a vial of S2 superhuman syrup, nodded. "Name your legion, choose your chapter leader, and define your task. I have 3,000 superhuman syrups ready, and the next 2,000 will be for the second legion I'll personally form."
With precision, Hariko injected each of the 1,000 women with the S2 syrup. The transformation was intense: they bcked out as their bodies began to change. Four additional lungs and eight hearts formed within them, their height increased to an imposing 7.2 feet, and their bones transformed into a resilient material known as warp bones. Their physical strength skyrocketed.
One day ter, the newly enhanced women awoke, disoriented but stronger than ever. They proceeded to the strength testing zone aboard the S3 css ship, where each of them scored an impressive 20,000 points in punching force. They then moved to the running sector, where the steel trackers measured their speed at 500 miles per second.
Kanna, now the chapter leader, announced, "We shall be called the Sisters of Faith. Our mission: to engage rebels and sinners who stand against the Golden Castle."
Their power armour, freshly forged and coloured white with bck lines, symbolised their mission. The white represented their unwavering faith, while the bck lines stood for the sins they were sworn to eradicate.
Meanwhile, 2,000 unemployed men from Earth, all demonstrating military potential, were brought before Hariko. Observing them, he recalled his own past. Without hesitation, he injected them with the S2 superhuman syrup. The transformation was identical to that of the women: the men bcked out, grew additional lungs and hearts, and their bones turned into warp bones. Thus, the Imperial Marines, 2,000 strong, were born.
The next day, the men awoke, standing at an imposing 12 feet tall. Their AI instructor directed them, "Proceed to the S2 training sector."
In the strength testing zone, each marine scored 1,400 points, and in the running sector, they reached a speed of 75 miles per second. Hariko named Morrigan as the chapter leader of the Imperial Marines and summoned a capital S1 fgship for their deployment.
The S1 fgship, equipped with 20 standard cannons, 20 psma cannons, 40 additional psma turrets, 50 turrets, 50 psma cannons, and 40 drop pods, was designed to carry out his campaigns. It housed 500 crew members with a capacity for 6,500 rooms, 500 bathrooms, and a cafeteria. Hariko's orders were clear, "Your primary task is to serve under me and assist in my campaigns."
The marines affirmed in unison, "Yes, sir."
One week ter, the Imperial Marines received their power armour, equipped with visors capable of detecting up to 50,000 individuals within a 50-metre radius. The visors also monitored heartbeats, allowing them to assess the life status of anyone in their vicinity. They boarded the S1 fgship, joining Hariko Lee's fleet.
Hariko, always strategic, began purchasing more S2 superhuman syrup at the cost of 8,000 points and one S1 superhuman syrup. He then summoned Kanna and the Sisters of Faith, instructing them to return to Mars so he could enhance their abilities further.
Within seconds, they arrived. Kanna, ever loyal, bowed before Hariko at the Golden Castle. Hariko injected her with the same serum, and like the others, she bcked out as her body underwent the same transformation. The next day, Kanna awoke, standing 6.5 feet tall in her new power armour. She matched the Sisters of Faith in strength and speed, completing her final tests before departing Mars.
As Kanna left, Lisa Crke, another of Hariko's trusted aides, entered the castle and bowed before him.
"What do you want to discuss?" Hariko inquired.
Lisa responded, "We've received reports of enemy forces numbering 576 million soldiers armed with M16A2 rifles with a range of 3,500 metres. They also have updated Tiger tanks, Fk 89s capable of reaching targets 1 kilometre away, and 5,000 ships. However, the most intriguing discovery is that Anna found S0-4 material on that isnd, along with a spaceport capable of holding 1.2 million interstelr ships."
Hariko remained unfazed. "Ignore all of that. Focus on defending Mars. We have a rger popution than the locals."
Lisa nodded, then brought up another issue. "We've been receiving 50,000 cases of bullying each day. How should we handle this?"
"Monitor the situation," Hariko replied. "Enlist those who initiated the first move. Also, I heard that Head Scientist Anna is working on an S1 satellite to connect us with Earth and share the network with Irias."
Lisa then mentioned a more delicate matter. "Our children on Mars act like a hive mind, gathering others. The root cause seems to be the Hills family, particurly their daughter Shana Hills, who at just 16 years old has rallied 200 high schoolers and 30,000 individuals from the Martian Academia. Everyone there learns self-defence and gun handling. I've also established the Martian currency, Martian Star Coins, for those who want to buy ships from us."
Hariko agreed with her strategy and allowed her to set the costs. "By the way, inform me of the costs for those outside of the army."
Lisa bowed and replied, "Will do."
