"We have to thank you for all of this, Mr. Rivers!"
Responding to Mr. Pool, Stairmount smiles broadly. But, he can't help but be surprised. Previously, he has created a systematical stimulation about the mortality rate which would occur once Sierra Pathogen spreads, and the result mustn't be such low.
"The Sierra-NX635 Pathogen is different from any ordinary pathogens. Once it spreads, it can reach its target only with a fraction of the speed. Let us make a calculation, in a week the death will reach 500 people, in two weeks it will increase to 1,000 people, and so on. This is unstoppable, because the route of transmission will not be found out by even the smartest pathogen experts since they adhere to conventional theories. And more, nothing can stop the destruction caused by this pathogen."
That was how Stairmount gave the presentation about Sierra Pathogen to high-ranking officials of Jupiter Health Department (who are the members of Chrono), which consisted of only a few people. In a short time, all of them nodded in satisfaction, and immediately ejected large funds for the production since they believed in the daunting power of the pathogen.

Huh, does it mean that I am a moron? How come I create a pathogen which can be penetrated by using this easy way? How come I am even so sure that nothing on this Planet can stop the transmission and infection caused by Sierra Pathogen? Then it means, that I am now smarter than I used to be, or was I dumber than I am now? But, if I was stupid at that time, then those health department officials were just as stupid as me, weren't they?...
Stairmount suddenly feels the urge to play with his ultra-cyber minipad. He takes a glance at the MessageChat showing the massive chain messages about the CCTV footage about Sandstones. Suddenly, he turns perplexed. There is something in the video that catches his attention. Stairmount immediately blinks on the screen to enlarge it.
"Oh... my gosh! Sandstones was evidently using this kind of Sierra Pathogen, which only contains 50% of its content! And, the blood samples are far inadequate, it's only a third than it must be used!" Stairmount nid-nods. Now he has fully understood, why the spreading Sierra Pathogen can be overcome so easily. Apparently, it is not that he is now smarter than he used to be, or he was dumber than he is right now. But, because the enemy uses inaccurate pathogens and blood samples.
A flicker of fear passes through his mind. He shudders. If only it were the original Sierra Pathogen which is spread along with the complete samples, this simple method would certainly not be able to repress the infection of that pathogen, thousands of people would have died right now - and if he were unlucky, he himself would also die, because as a Saturnian he has DNA and RNA which is certainly similar to the Saturn people.
Ah. Maybe Daddy and Mommy have helped me from Heaven? Maybe, The Universe has given Their help? Yes, this is not a coincidence since it is beyond all logic and rationality. Yes. They must have helped me.
Saturn, is the Energy of Karma, and Justice.
It is The Power of the Universe - of Karma and Justice - that has helped us, to defeat all evils on this Planet.
Stairmount puts down his minipad, and now looks at the news on the cyber monitor. A reporter is interviewing the Minister of Health. The minister is currently informing her that Sierra Pathogen has been totally under control, and thus, Saturn people can celebrate this moment as the day of Saturn great victory.
"And for this one part. I specifically want to thank someone," says the Minister of Health.
"Who is that honored person, Mr. Minister?" asks the reporter.
"He is, the most extraordinary man I have ever met in my life. This extraordinary man, is not lust of fame, is not lust for worldly things, all he hopes is just sincerely helping people who are in need. Although he gives the greatest contribution in overcoming the Sierra Pathogen, but he instead asks not to mention his name in the list of contributors."
"Wow, what an extraordinary man!"
"Yes, he is. Hence, I would like to express my personal gratitude to this man. Wherever you are right now, you can be sure that, this nation will always remember your heroic effort. Thank you, Mr. Anonymous! Please accept the salutation from all of us!"
Hearing the words said by the Minister of Health, Stairmount automatically bows his body, giving a salutation.
And, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude, Sir Minister. And all of you who have been willing to spare my life, moreover, allow me to collaborate with you, even though I have committed such a terrible sin. My deepest thanks to all of you.
