"Commander, stage one is completed. Our surprise attacks are very successful. We were able to deal a great deal of damage to all leading forces in the bright galaxy. 

Awaiting your order to implement stage two." 

A young soldier reported to Karou, who was happily sitting on his commander chair. During the implementation of stage one, he was quite nervous, after all, he is using all the available forces given to him. All his cards are out, and one wrong move can easily send him to his starting point where he has nothing. 

But during the course of the attacks, all he received were good news making him very happy. With these attacks, all the parties that got attacked would enter a defensive mode consolidating their power. 

And this is not a good time to attack, as this is all part of his strategy. After the first stage of the attacks, he had ordered a retreat on all his forces. Next step two: is physiological war. 

He smiles cruelly, this is going to be a long and time consuming plan he and many others have brainstormed for weeks to come up with a plan to bring this galaxy in a silver platter to his master. 

On stage two, all their conspirators would start spreading discord and chaos on all organization levels. 

Karou and his men weren't idle during the time they were passive. His hands have been extending to all manner of races, after all, not everyone accepts the war with Ganesh and countless others are against it. Even the race which was leading the war, like humans, many of them were against the war, especially those who were affected by it. 

The loss of loved ones and friends who died, or those families who were forcefully conscripted to fight their war only to use their family members as cannon fodder. 

Karou's agents revealed to them the true reason for their race to go to war. To acquire resources from the bodies of Ganesh, with a little bit of miss information, Karou's agents can easily convince a grieving family member to join their cause and take revenge, and with a false promise of compensation, they can easily acquire a disposable agent to work for them. 

And this works with all levels in the organization, officers who were fed up with work without being compensated for it, because those with better connections are stealing their hard work. After all, no organization is exempted from politics, even GT is no different. 

The moment GT accepted non-system personnel to work for them, politics came into play. After all, not everyone is like system personnel who work tirelessly for only their Boss benefits. Regular employees work for themselves and their families, not for their boss, their main objective is to get a better life, and that's not really bad as it motivates them to work harder to be promoted and give their loved ones a better life. 

Dianna and the rest of system personnel are aware of it, so to reduce the politics in GT they placed the key position in all levels to system personnel and thus effectively reducing the politics in GT, therefore those that work hard are compensated, and those who took advantage of others are removed. 

All decisions making positions, especially those who decide on essential things, are given to system personnel. Dianna is making good use of the cloning factory, despite the large amount of resources needed to operate it. And with Ash leading the GT security with Gaia's help, they can quickly identify those who were sent to spy on GT and those who like to manipulate others and steal their hard work.

Besides, GT is one of the top companies to give excellent compensation to all its employees, its approval rating reached almost 100%. Once a person experiences working with GT, they will never go anywhere else. 

And GT employees are proud to be part of the company, and that's why the number of people applying to GT on a daily basis is staggering as it never went down five figures. 

And that's why GT's human resources have the most employees to deal with the traffic of people looking to work for GT, and it's not just humans many alien races too want to work for GT, and GT is not discriminating against them, infact more than 30% of GT's non system personnel are from a different race. After all, Gt is a galactic organization, so it is not surprising to have other races working for them. 

Many human organizations employ this method, but their employees of different races are less than 10%, after all, as a human being, one tends to be biassed toward its own race. 

But GT does not have these problems because system personnel are not tethered to any race. After all, the cloning factory can produce clones from all races. Fenrir is proof of it. And Arc doesn't care about it either, in fact, he is proud to have another race working for him as it pertains to how capable his company had become. 

But other companies don't have the luxury of having a system cloning factories, even the most advanced human clone facility can't produce 100% loyal clones. Ultimately, when the clones reach adulthood, they will begin to think for themselves as any other human does.

Therefore, during the course of many years, humanities experienced clones leading an uprising on their maker, as the biggest clone uprising happened in space in one of the most prominent merchant organizations. 

They are disguised as merchants, but in reality they are slave traders. Selling clones is considered slavery and was banned by many organizations. After all, human clones are still humans, and slavery is one of the taboos of humanities. Regardless, there are still those that dabble in this taboo after all, once it's been made illegal, then there's bound to be money to be made. Illegal items no matter how expensive they are, there are always those who want to have them. 

And this merchant organization is considered the largest human clone slavers in the galaxy, they sold human clones to anyone interested, whether it be humans or aliens it does not matter. 

But even so many human superpowers turn a blind eye to it. After all, they too manage to profit from it in one way or another. 

But one day, the leader of the organization's most trusted man who happens to be a clone himself has managed to worm itself to be the right hand man of the leader of the organization. 

During his time with the organization, he secretly managed to install a preprogrammed module that will make the clones more independent and defiant, he managed to build an organization within the slavers organization, slowly building his forces that lead to an uprising. 

It was a brutal war, one that claimed a million lives on both clones and natural humans and also served as a beacon to all human slaves across the bright galaxy. Many superpowers were greatly affected, as many of them are using clones as personnel, because of the humanities lowering birth rate, the number of clones are steadily increasing over the last few decades. 

One scholar even published a book regarding it, and it stated that with the rate of humanities birth rate, 200 years later, there will be no more natural-born humans, and humankind would be composed of clones. It's a scary hypothesis but not without warrant, as it's common knowledge that humanity's capabilities to reproduce is on a downhill trend. And it is also common knowledge that many organizations are employing cloning services. 

But no one wants to acknowledge this reality, for many, that's the least of their worry, especially in the lower to middle-class citizens. But it's a real problem for all governments. 

And the research to find a cure to the humanities reproduction problem is ongoing to this day. It's just that there was no real progress for decades, and many decided to abandon that money eating ventures, and instead focus on improving the cloning technology.
