The Imperial Patrolman then found his communications cut off by the emperor's personal AI assistant 1-CE. He was upset that he would have to let the Earthling pass but it's not like he has any say in the matter. He shouldn't upset the king by stating his opinion. The king has other things he needs to be focusing on. After all it won't bring his friend back who died on Tech-Tech. Those damn crazy monkies, but Polaris is at least happy that Tech Tech decided to join the Galactic Empire after that disaster.

After the female Frost Demon told them they were clear for landing Dr. Grey found Morton and put him back in the pilot seat to bring the ship to Mitra. Morton hesitantly does so and slowly goes to the spaceport and true to the female Frost Demon's word they land safely there with no guns or anything pointed towards them. The door opens and a ramp comes out for Dr. Grey to step out of.

"Okay Nick I am gonna stay here in the ship." Morton said.

"Now now Morton you are coming with me. It would be rude not to introduce my assistant to Emperor Polaris." Dr. Grey said.

"Oh geez Nick I don't know about that after that witch woman I am not really feeling like meeting more Empire people you know. Like I dunno but like I am getting pretty anxious just being here so I can just being here. Are you sure joining the empire is a good idea I mean we can still go join one of the other factions." Morton said.

"It's far too late to turn back down Morton. We have no other option but to go forward with this. Now calm your tentacles or what ever it is you call your sensitive body parts and follow me." Dr. Grey responded.

Dr. Grey then made his way to the palace with a reluctant Morton trailing behind with his tentacles. As they made their way to the palace Dr. Grey stopped to admire the architecture before knocking on the door waiting for a response. He brought with him an extensive resume of all of the degrees in the many fields of science he has obtained and also his past job experiences with Capsule Corp, and it's rival company Parasol Inc. He left out having had worked for Neo Red Ribbon cause he didn't want to put something that blatantly put out that he worked for a terrorist organization on it.

Grey certainly knew a thing or two about artificial intelligence so of course he recognized the doors opening on their own guiding them to the emperor being opened by an artificial intelligence. In fact that female Frost Demon early had a voice that seemed more digital and too perfect to be an actual voice so that must be the AI in question. In fact all of Mitra could be run by this AI, he is interested in learning more about it at another time. He of course noticed the flashing scanners on the sides of the walls. At first he thought they were to detect weapons or something, but then realized they could read the mutations of Dr. Grey's body. That would require some explanation.


"You of course already know my name Emperor Polaris so there's no need to introduce myself. The person next to me however is a Martian from the planet Mars. I call him Morton but it's an acronym to shorten his real name because it's far too long. I come from Earth and I simply wish to join the Galactic Empire to expand my knowledge and learn even more about the universe that I don't already know. I have mastered many fields of Earthly science. Chemistry, technology, biology, and many others. I have created many different devices and am also able to create clones as well. And if you're wanting something more in the weapon's department." Dr. Grey said.

He then reached into one of the pockets of his lab coat and got out a small device that projects a hologram showing a digital demonstration of some of his weapons.

"First I made an actual working Freeze Ray. By manipulating moisture in the air to freeze things on contact. Second of course the Ring Laser. A binding energy ring made to be able to even hold down strong adversaries. Both can be very useful to subdue your enemies and also for the Imperial Patrol to catch any miscreants or lawbreakers. But if you want something more interesting or out there."

Dr. Grey pushed a button on the projector and it showed a strange meteorite. It seems to have eyes inside it.



"This meteorite gives out a strange energy. It appears to be alive as well. Made out of many micro-organisms compiled together. Seemingly inorganic and rocky but alive. I have likened it to be similar to coral from Earth. I have done much research from the books I rented from the library at Abbayor and I found no information at all detailing information on this meteorite. As far as I know I discovered something entirely new. The reason I didn't bring it here is because it's energy has some odd effects on inorganic beings. It gave me various mutations to my genetic structure and aged me backwards. So I built a device to be able to securely contain the meteorite for study." Dr. Grey explained.

He then changed the hologram of the spaceship he came in.

"This was Morton's spaceship, he crash landed onto Earth long ago and was in suspended animation until I found him. It took me about a year to repair for it be able to work again. That is how I was able to come here to be meeting with you now. So I can very well be able to adapt to learn the inner workings of your alien technology. In fact I noticed that this entire planet is run by an artificial intelligence. Probably is the one who ran those scanners too and most likely noticed the abnormalities of my body. I can assure you I am as healthy as they come." Dr. Grey said.

He then politely waited for Polaris response.

Dr. Grey noticed Polaris' unenthusiastic expression during his detailed explanations. He overdid it didn't he dang it he needs to learn tact. Dr. Grey isn't usually the social type which is why talking to someone in this way was very difficult for him. Which is why he was hoping this would be more of an interview type thing which is why he brought a resume. This could hurt his chances. But he asked for something that the doctor can provide.

"I dabble a bit in genetic engineering. Made the odd creature here and there. I did mention I could make clones after all. If it's bio-organic weapons you need or even genetically engineered soldiers then I can assure you I am the man for the job." Dr. Grey said.

And then Polaris asked for Dr. Grey's undying loyalty. Dr. Grey paused for a moment thinking of how to express it.

"Morton, you can leave now. I need to talk with Polaris myself."

Morton then did as the doctor asked. When the martian was far enough away out the door the doctor was giving off sinister vibes that Polaris would be able to feel since he is able to sense Ki. The doctor then turned with a calm face and demeanor.

"I can assure you Emperor Polaris that I will be loyal no matter what. You could burn Earth to the ground or destroy the entire human race and I wouldn't even flinch. They already gave me all that I could give. And I have no doubts that you are not are only capable of doing that but would probably do so. I read up on you Polaris, how many senators were conveniently missing during the voting to give you majority control, how no sightings of any Saiyan Domnion ships were shown during the day the Galactic King died, I am not like the ignorant masses I was able to figure it out simply using logic and thinking of how so much you benefited from this." Dr. Grey said.

After he was finished he gave a toothy grin that would make crocodiles flinch.

"Now I know you can kill me without a second thought and are probably thinking about doing so right now, but I can assure you I am not trying to blackmail you. I didn't even wrote what I figured out down or told Morton or anyone about what I figured out. In fact I respect what you did because instead of using brute force to get to the top like the Freeza Force tried to many times and failed doing so you made yourself a hero to the people and won your way to the top with power and wit to match. I admire you for you great power and your interesting biology, but I admire intelligence above all else and if anything someone who was able to fool so much of the universe earns my utter most respect. You are definitely a more deserving king then the last one." Dr. Grey said.

Through his words, facial expressions, body language, and even his aura Polaris would read that every word Dr. Grey said was genuine. He is not just being a kiss up or anything he truly respects Polaris as a person and his species as well. After all it was two certain events on Earth that caused Dr. Grey's descent to his obsession with aliens that were caused by none other then two Frost Demon lords of the Freeza Force Lord Snow and Lord Glacio. With Lord Snow's genetically engineered plant monster he used to attack West City and Lord Glacio leaving Central City as a crater both events left an impression on the "good" doctor. And Polaris himself is the one who managed to kill Lord Glacio which goes to show Dr. Grey how big of a deal this Frost Demon is when compared to the others.

Doctor Grey knew the risks of telling Polaris this. There were many reasons he did so, one was to show his intelligence. While it could be argued an idiotic move to some Dr. Grey figured from Lilith Nevermore that the empire is full of such people and had a hunch that some of them also already knew about Polaris' true nature. So Doctor Grey shown his true colors in hopes of showing how well he would fit in this empire. But also if the emperor truly does need someone like him he would be hesitant on killing him right away.

When Emperor Polaris told him he was an official member of the now he knelt down on one knee.

"I am thankful for your acceptance Polaris and I do have something to ask. You see I am the type of scientist who likes to do experiments that others would say are unethical. But I feel that morals need to be ignored in order to advance further when it comes to progress. Risks need to be taken in order to obtain more data. But you are one to seem to understand that the universe is more gray then black and white. So I wanted to know if you would be okay with looking the other way while I did such experiments. Now I am not asking for any soldiers or anything as guinea pigs although if you do have a few corpses from battles lying around I would be very interested in dissecting them." Dr. Grey said.

As he was talking about the dissecting he began breaking in a sweat and his eyes widened and he got out a handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe it off.

"Sorry for getting too excited there and overstepping my boundaries. That was probably too much to ask out of you. If you still want me to go by the book when it comes to how you do Science in the empire I understand. After all an emperor must uphold the rules of his empire. I apologize for making such a request." Dr. Grey said.

As he said his apology he bowed his head down and his two hands on the ground. It was as if he became a completely different person. But his apology is certainly genuine and Polaris would definitely sense the fear he now has. Although at this point Polaris probably figured out there is something wrong with this doctor's mind. So Doctor Grey internally curses in his thoughts thinking he just screwed himself over.

Dr. Grey then raised his head up with a smile on his face upon the news that Polaris would let such experiments slide.

"I am truly honored Emperor Polaris that you would let me work unhindered and don't worry about the alive ones I prefer dissecting dead specimen, but if I would like to run some less dangerous tests on some of your most powerful enforcers. Just collecting combat data, testing how much gravity they can withstand, the limits of their special abilities if they have any, and a bit of DNA for study. I like to think of those as...very special physical exams." Dr. Grey said.

When it comes to testing on alien species and creatures Dr. Grey is more reluctant to do any experiments that he feels would ruin their already marvelous physiology. He is willing to at least dissect dead corpses of aliens at least so he can be able to learn more about how alien organs work. Would certainly help him be able to create cloned organs for transplant in case any soldiers need it or creating new lifeforms with alien DNA. Luckily if he ever does have that itch he still has the DNA samples of the many human subjects he experimented on back on Earth with which he can clone copies of them to continue further experimentation and testing. Speaking of which, that reminds him of something crucial.

"Speaking of unethical experiments another reason I left Earth is because I temporarily worked for a human terrorist group on Earth called the Neo Red Ribbon Army and the Earth military came to my doorstep. So they view me as a criminal, I apologize for not bringing this up earlier but if I am gonna work here I should not keep any secrets from you Emperor Polaris. I could work in the empire under an alias, but they never did meet me in person they only met and killed my clone. I could construct a fabricated sob story that I was forced to work for the Neo Red Ribbon Army and that a clone of me I made rebelled me and went mad to paint myself as a victim. Humans are usually gullible for such creation overthrows their creator stories." Dr. Grey said.

He began sweating again, that news probably did not make Polaris happy. Especially if he brought it up so late instead of starting out with it. He needed to say something to lighten to blow.

"Oh and one more thing Emperor Polaris, I am not a general or anything but I have a strategical idea you might find interesting. You see Mars was once a thriving planet before a war between the Martians left the planet barren and they were forced to live underground. Earth prefers to stay away from Mars after a failed colonization of it caused the humans to retreat and they had to sign a treaty promising that they would stay away from Mars so any knowledge about what goes on there on Earth and other planets is none and it is thought to just be a dead rock. I have been working on a way to terraform Mars and make it lively again by melting the polar ice caps of Mars, if I could do that and we were to make a pact with the Martians they would join the Galactic Empire no questions asked. Cause of Mars closeness to Earth it could provide a tactical advantage to launch a surprise attack from if you ever decided to take over Earth. And if the Earth Kingdom base on Venus were to be taken over by some of your other forces then Mars and Venus could launch a pincer attack on Earth making taking over the planet so much easier." Dr. Grey said.

He is not sure if Polaris is interested in taking over Earth but he hopes so. Not just because the strategy would please him if taking over Earth is his goals, but he believes that Earth would be much better in Polaris' hands. If they became a part of the Galactic Empire then Earth could finally advance instead of being stuck in such a stagnated state for so long. And perhaps any human prisoners of wars or unwilling human participants he can experiment on and make them more suitable. He is getting goosebumps just thinking of all modifications he make to the human genome with alien DNA.

When told that he would have to handle the problem with the Earthlings he was relieved that he did not anger Polaris with that statement. But still wanted Grey to handle the problem and not have Polaris hold his hand. Understandable, the emperor is far too busy to be able to help the scientists in the empire. They should be helping him and achieve his goals. Plus with the doctor's IQ he should be able to handle the situation himself.

"You're right, I shall make a public statement announcing me as an official member while using the story that I was forced to work for the Neo Red Ribbon Army and my clone betrayed me. And that I escaped from my imprisonment and used the spaceship to get away along with a Martian prisoner that I befriended, and that I left Earth out of fear that my reputation would be forever stained by my clone so I left Earth to find a new start with the Galactic Empire. If Earth does have any problems once the news reaches them or any suspicions they would probably think twice about doing so. Cause that means they would have to bring that up with you and that could put themselves into a corner. I'll be sure to add how merciful and generous you were to hear my story and let become an official member of the Galactic Empire when I had no one else to turn to." Doctor Grey said.


After saying that Polaris then mentioned that Earth must remain neutral at the moment and they most focus all efforts on the Saiyan Dominion. Makes sense since the Saiyan Dominion is a huge threat. Dr. Grey respects them for their biology and great power as well, but find their barbaric love for battle to be a major hindrance. Sure they have been shown to be resourceful and able to learn how to use many hi-tech equipment such as spaceships or scouters. But when compared to the cunning of the Frost Demons there is no contest over which is smarter. And Polaris is one who doesn't let the power go to his head like Freeza of the past has and be complacent and let his soldiers do most of the fighting while he himself barely lifted a finger cause he kept underestimating his enemies. Dr. Grey still has much to learn about the universe and the state that it is in.

"Very well I understand. Sorry for being ignorant about the current state of inter-galactic politics. But I do hope still we can add Mars into our empire. Not to help takeover Earth, but you see they have something you maybe interested in. The weapons they developed that made their planet barren were bombs with the ability to destroy all organic matter leaving only people protected with metallic armor, robots, and other things considered inorganic to not be destroyed by the weapons. The Martians still hold those weapons and much more just in case they ever get invaded by a force that they could not beat easily, but if we come with the promise of restoring their planet and add the Martians to the Galactic Empire's ranks then those weapons could also be ours." Dr. Grey said.

What he said was definitely true as Morton told him all about what happened to his once great planet. And Dr. Grey also hopes to restore this planet for the Martians sake. Even if they still are able to live and thrive in underground things are still quite miserable. Some Martians even tried to invade Earth to capture Earthlings as sustenance, but ended up getting killed by powerful Earthlings as a result and thus never went to step on Earth again. If Dr. Grey is successful he might be able to save an entire alien species from extinction.

"I have nothing more to add now Emperor Polaris. I shall go gather my things and bring to my new lab which I shall be working at from now. I look forward to helping you win this war." Dr. Grey said.

Dr. Grey then makes his leaves and meets with Morton along the way out to begin setting up shop at their new facility.
