Deep within the Twin Islands base.
Inside an enormous biochemical laboratory that occupied nearly an entire level of the base.
After the dark red Ring of Fire on Primarch Rorschach's body had undergone repeated automated disinfection and cleaning.
It was completely wrapped by Auto-Servitor Robots inside an oversized dustproof protective suit.
Then, led by the Auto-Servitor Robots, he passed massive cultivation vessels containing developing superhuman organs, portions of Gene-seed, and more than a dozen Star Knights corpse specimens before entering Connors' laboratory.
After setting down his experimental data and exchanging some long-overdue pleasantries with Primarch Rorschach, Connors quickly got to the point.
"Honored Primarch, as you saw before entering, we can now cultivate and produce small quantities of superhuman organs and Gene-seed under laboratory conditions."
"Furthermore, under the repeated guidance and experimentation of several Astartes apothecaries, we have successfully mastered all the enhancement surgeries used to create Astartes."
"At present, I am recruiting loyal mortals from the regions under our control who have passed indoctrination and testing, then putting them through apprentice training."
"It is not that we do not wish to expand the enhancement surgery training on a larger scale. It is simply that we have not yet mastered the ability to mass-produce Gene-seed."
"However, during a previous Roundtable Conference, Mr. Reed, our team's technical advisor, suggested a potentially inhumane idea. We could use a form of Cloning technology acquired from xenos, one utterly unrestricted by morality, to mass-produce ignorant human clones for large-scale Gene-seed cultivation."
"Of course, this proposal was not approved by the people at the Roundtable Conference. Even Mr. Doom believed that such a method was excessively cruel and heartless."
As soon as Connors finished speaking.
Primarch Rorschach slightly shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps this method sounds cruel, but I have
