In his study, a man was clearly not lounging. [1]

The general Gwak was doing paperwork. Well, in this age, it wasn't real papers but the ancient way of saying things stayed.

After a few hours, he raised his eyes from his work and put his head between his hands.

He had a huge headache.

Code Zero was only to be deployed in case of extreme urgency, if all other officers were already sent.

It wasn't because this man could be captured by enemies, or because he had human limits. It was because he was a double edged sword. If you sent him, the place would become a real mess.

It was both impossible for him to restrain his extreme ways of handling things as well as clean things afterwards.

As the airhead he was, he would certainly just clean the place… But not in the good way. He would just start sweeping the floor and washing the walls as a cleaner.

If they could give his laser beam of subatomic chickens to someone else, they would have done it. But he was the only one who ever managed to activate it. After all other galaxies technologies were, whether more advanced or less advanced than humans ones, based on different discoveries and thinking.

Why was he the only capable of capturing parts of the darkness? The general complained in his mind.

Anyway, he should soon be there. He thought.

John was an ordinary elevator man.

Even if nowadays elevators were essentially gravity reverser tubes, the function stayed in rich people staying places. It had a prestige to it that no technology, even with their human-like robots, could imitate.

It was essentially what his simulated brain was thinking, but it wasn't really THAT important to the author and plot, so these readers who didn't give any power stones didn't need to know the details [2].

Anyway, today, he saw something that made even him and his simulated brain make the hasty agreement to flee the faster they can, even at the risk of deserting their posts.

It was a much worse situation than apocalypse.

Code Zero.

[…]

Hina was an ordinary cleaner.

She was quite plump, and probably the only human left in this building.

Cleaning was still a task hard for a machine to do. She proudly thought while drinking a bottle of water.

It was essentially what her simulated brain was thinking, but it wasn't really THAT… Okay, let's shorten it a bit.

Anyway, today, she saw something that made even her and her simulated brain make the hasty agreement to drop the water bottle and act like a statue on the road and not move a millimeter.

It was a much worse situation than apocalypse.

Code Zero.

[…]

Henry was an ordinary soldier.

He had a task, and that was to protect the general, he was probably one of the only human still working there. Machines were too easily hacked. And for the protection of the higher ups of the galaxy, humans were still more worthy of confidence.

It was essentially what the general was probably thinking, but in reality, humans were so easily bribed that it was laughable.

Anyway, today, he saw something that made even him and his employer make the hasty agreement to report the assassination of the general to later and flee the faster he can, even at the risk of delaying the Mjorg galaxy [3] final attack too.

It was a much worse situation than apocalypse.

Code Zero.

[1] Couldn't you find easier keywords to place… I really had nowhere to place it in the story. And no idea about what to add to the story with it too.

[2] Sorry xD, just wanted to insert that joke in THIS novel and not any of the other ones. Info for royalroadl readers: powerstones are a currency that can be given to novels on webnovel. There is a powerstone ranking. Every reader get 2 powerstones per day (or 1 for level one guys). The ranking is reset at the start of each week.

[3] The galaxy are for most named after their dominant species or by the name given to it by their dominant species.
