Just to clarify, you are asking how to obtain sysop and/or bureaucratic rights on a Wikia correct?

If the wiki has been abandoned, hasn't had an admin edit within the last 60 days, then you can request to adopt the wiki which means a staff member will look at your request and decide on whether or not to give you sysop and bureaucratic rights on that wiki.

However since you mentioned that you left a message on The Pathogen's page I am going to assume he is an active bureaucrat. If you have left him a message yet he has not replied to it yet maybe he is not currently looking for more admins at the moment.
