Under the circumstances, it was a miracle there was not a mutiny in the middle of the club. They were all pissed off when they found out. I came over to check on them in the afternoon for something to do. All of them had been talking about it all throughout the night. Now that it was the next day and they were still so enthralled, Brett thought it was the best way to get them in line. I was not sure this was the right call, but we needed a united front. The blueprints were already taken. Nothing could put that genie back in the bottle. Brett and I had to pacify them with promises of helping them get the rest of the blueprints for the X-frame. They made sure to follow us all the way to the cab depot. Claire was there and she was interested in the blueprints as well. I sent the three knights home early so we could go down in the elevator. They bid us good night. We waited until they were gone for real before getting to the back room. Once down in the clan building, we were able to check on the progress. The gun was about to be ready. It would be done in a day. We promised the gun to Alex and Alexis.
I watched as they calmed down a bit. It was their blueprints in the first place. That gave us the ability to pacify them for real. They agreed to wait until Ryder and Sparks came back before we decided what to do with the blueprint for the special X-frame. It took 5 days for them to return. Sparks was a skinny guy. He had a golden tan and electric yellow hair. His eyes were seafoam green. "Welcome to the clan, Sparks!" I said cheerfully as I slapped him on the back. "Yeah. Thanks again for helping me. It was nice." he said nervously. News of their arrival spread and all the clan members came to the cab depot. I dismissed the knights early again. They left and we went down there together. I gave the first gun to Alex. Each of the labs had a fabricator that could clone anything you put in it if you had the raw materials and a full day. There were enough for Alexis, Red, Maroon and Katie too. They were appreciative, but the real prize would come from the PEP lab. It was finally open and fully operational due to the reactors. We could finally see what could be made. I was pretty excited to find out myself.
Very happily, they looked around the lab and we gathered at the white board to see what could be researched. There many things to start with. We could research and create weapons and stimulants for allied NPCs. There were also an archwing launching apparatus that would allow us to attach wings capable of flight to the X-frames. I thought that was pretty cool. What the cyborgs cared about most of all was the X-frames up for development. Each clan building gave 2 X-frames at random. I could see that the ones we could make blueprints for were XF-10F and XF-02F. The were both female X-frames that specialized in piercing and toxic damage. All the guys were still looking with desiring eyes. "Sorry these ones aren't for you. Tough luck." Paul said. The male cyborgs looked at him angrily. "It would be an honor to build and operate and X-frame, regardless of the sex." Alex said firmly. "Intersex use also has some advantages." Alexis added. I looked at him to explain. "You all know we can simulate sexual intercourse. Our synthetic ejaculate doesn't hold up and we don't feel pleasure."
We waited for him to continue. "X-frames are very different. X-frames are said to give us 3 times the pleasure humans have during intercourse. We can also collect human genetic material ourselves to upgrade our own systems. That way we can create an upgraded version of ourselves. We are only prototypes. We would be able to bring forth the Alpha stage." he explained. The others nodded and looked giddy. From what he was saying, the cyborgs could collect semen and use it to somehow get themselves pregnant. They would possibly also need some female egg cells. Luck for them, XF-06Mx was still an option for them. It was at the bottom of the list, outlined in purple. Each stage cost 3 day to make and the X-frames had 4. XF-06Mx was half done. That meant we could finish it in under a week. The others would be 12 days each. We as a group decided that XF-10F would be the best one to be next. I set the research to produce the blueprints for the systems. Alex and Alexis had their chests puff out in pride. "When we get our X-Frames, I'm going to get all the sex that I can." Alex said.
