In the back of the lounge was a locked door for the clan members. Once you got the key, you could enter the elevator that took you down to the hidden base. The layout was a simple one. The base Clan Hall was totally free and allowed an architect to chart out expansion to a point. I added a cross shaped hallway on the top and bottom doorways. The bottom were for two reactors. We were going to need a lot of power to keep the place running. At the top right, I had the Augury chamber because it was the prerequisite to any building and researching in the labs. Across the hallway was the Energy lab. We could make strong energy shields and weapons there. At the top center was an elevator going down. the second sublevel had 2 cross shaped hallways Top right was the PEP lab. It was where we would research the weapons for the cyborgs and their X-frames. Across from it was a large garden that led to a trading post and dueling room at the top and bottom. The Bio and Chem labs were across the hall from each other at the bottom of the hallways. At the very bottom was yet another reactor.
That would be enough to keep everything powered. Every room that was not the Main Hall would take 3 day to build. That meant that there would be weeks before things happened with the Clan building. Normally things cost both a lot of money and resources to build. However, Paul gave us the both the max amount of everything we needed: 99,999,999. We were not wanting for anything. All we had to do was wait for the research to happen. The two of us went up to the lounge and then looked around again. I looked at Paul and said "I need to be human for this world can you help me out? I can't be a centaur anymore." He nodded and put his hand on me. "I get it. I'll make you human." A white blur surrounded my body and I saw my body was changed to human. I could also tell from the lack of boobs and the bulge in my new pants that I was male again. "Thanks." I said with a smile. We then left and went to go get the others. We explained everything to Brett and let him join the Clan. We then named it PBJ Crew after our in-game initials. Brett said "I want to run a business too." and ran off.
Letting him go, we attended to everyone else. The NPCs did not seem to notice that anything about me was different. It was weird, but it solved the problem of having to answer too many questions. Later that day, only after we got everyone settled in to their own rooms, did Brett bring us to his new business. It was a strip club. He had 3 stages for performers: one that stretched from the back to the audience and 2 circular ones in the center and across from the bar, a backstage area for private dances, and a large dressing room to let them prepare. There was also a bar and several tables to watch the show. The floor was covered in brown carpet and the walls were all dark red. The light wood of the bar and tables lifted the color scheme. "Where are you going to find the strippers?" Paul asked. Brett just chuckled. "Come on out here and say hello, PEP-09047." he said. A tan, lanky cyborg came from the backstage area. He looked nervous with his stringy brown bangs covering his jade green eyes as his pointer fingers pressed against each other. "Hello" he said. Paul and I just looked at them.
