The Illusive man stood on the balcony of his ebony space station. A station that stands as the pinnacle of human technology. In the darkened room, one could still see edges of a luxurious suit and golden rings. However, despite all of his luxuries and his wealth, he could only peer into the vast cosmos with envious eyes.
"Sir," a woman's voice called out to him from his desk. "The board is ready to see you now."
"Good… Send them in," he said, not removing his gaze from the cosmos, as if it would disappear if he tore away from its gaze. He heard the chime and felt the light of many screens enlighten the room. He spoke.
"Gentlemen…" he said. "Long have been the days since humanity had lost its seat at the pinnacle of every species. After we conquered our solar system, we had thought ourselves at the top… How wrong we were."
There was murmurs behind him as he turned to the ten screens of silhouetted men. Walking towards them, he continued. "No more gentlemen," he said. "For I have found the key to our evolution."
Pressing a button on his desk, the sound of a the floor opens to reveal a cryogenic pod. In it, was a young man. He had spiky blonde hair, fair skin, and whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore a tattered orange and black jumpsuit.
"Are you saying this boy is the key for us to catch up to the rest of the galaxy?", one board member asked.
"No…" The man said as he removed his hand from the glass of the pod and looked at the many hidden screens of his investors.
"This boy is the key for us to surpass them."

"Progress report Dr. Ling," the Illusive man said.
"Y-yes sir," he said. "After preliminary trials, we've concluded that the energy exuding from his body is a new energy source similar to the Sirens found on Pandora."
"Oh?", he inquired. "Does this energy source enhance biotics as well similar to Element Zero and Eridium?"
"Yes and no," he said. "The energy source seems to be independent from the elements but can affect them in interesting ways."
"How so?"
"The energy source naturally stabilizes all around it and calming emotions," he said. "Specimens who are more attuned to biotics seemed to have an increased sensitivity to the energy and seemed to be attracted to it."
"Are these… human trials?"
"No sir. We have only used animal specimens that are attuned with biotics, either naturally or synthetically. We wanted to finish testing Subject Adam's resistances before we continue onto human specimens."
"… Skip the resistance trials for now," he said. "I want you to get a serum ready as soon as possible."
"W-what?!", Dr. Ling said. "B-but sir! We don't have the equipment for that type of testing! We haven't even got him out of the stasis chamber yet!"
"You will be taking him to Purgatory for further testing and equipment," he explained. "I will have a team bring the strongest sedative of your choice and you will extract him from the stasis chamber."
"Purgatory? Where we keep Subject Zero?", Dr. Ling questioned. "Isn't that a little dangerous sir. What if one of them escapes?"
"Are you telling me that our security is not capable to stopping a few subjects?"
"N-No! Sir!", he said. "I-I'll do it right away!"
"See to it Dr. Ling," the Illusive man said. "You have 72 hours." With his piece said, he ended the transmission.
The doctor sighed, before looking at his subject. "We have no idea how dangerous the subject is and yet he wants to put him with the same facility as Subject Zero? Madness."
"What do we do sir?", one of his assistants asked. "We don't even know how quickly he will be able to induce a coma."
""We do what he says," he said as he walked to the door. "We have no choice. Prepare a pod for transport. I'll be in my office if anyone needs me If we plan the procedure correctly, it should only be momentarily… Make preparations. The team with the sedative will be here soon."
"Yes sir," they said as they left to do their task. As Dr. Ling walked through the corridor, he thought
'No matter how much time it takes,' he thought. 'No matter what I need to do. Mark my words, I will solve you Subject Adam.'
