Very simply, the answer was no. I could fuck any of the PEP units in the clan. I could fuck any number of NPCs in the town as well. I did not need Nathan in any way. But that did not mean that it would not be fun or feel good if I did fuck him. I also wanted to see how far he would go for the top position. He said "You just want to get off." I shook my head. "I could use Sunny or Lucy for that. Why should I go with you? What will you give me?" I asked. He did not have a ready answer. He had to think of something. "What do you want? I can't figure you out. The most likely thing in my calculations is only a 53% likelihood to work." Nathan said "Then you should be ready for something really annoying." "Whatever it is, I can do it." "I want you to have a human's baby. Take an X-womb, fuck some guy and get pregnant." I said smiling down at him. "How the hell am I going to explain getting pregnant!?" he snapped in anger. It was not up to me how he did it. That would just be really funny to see. Nathan got up and said "It was a waste of time coming here." I just shrugged. "Probably." I said.
It was ultimately Nathan that got the job in the end. Nathan tried to gloat to me, but I shut him down quick. "I never got in your way. I let you get this job, just like I let you live when salt water was splashed on you in the middle of the street." I said as I pat him on the shoulder. There was nothing that he could say to that. Nathan went back to his own apartment. I was keeping my ears to the ground in terms of information. The game was slowly, but surely progressing. With the new PEA units, the many transmission hubs across the continent were getting really aggressive with their mission assignments. That meant even less good tasks in small towns. It did make frequent low risk tasks spawn endlessly. We were hacking and taking out low level punks in town every day. Re:birth and Volition Clans were pumping the PEA units out like crazy. Keith and Sarah were always fucking. That was not a real surprise to me. He did stop attacking. I guessed the possibility of me aborting a PEA unit in his nice and well-maintained X-womb made it not worth the risk anymore. A good idea.
We had done our share with 6. The units in the safehouses were training them for the next phase of the subversion and conquest of the planet. We had slipped into the early midgame already. Agents from the government were scouring the streets of the major cities for the cyborgs. Androids were deployed to deal with rouge syndicate groups. However, there were whispers that the lower numbered units were getting together. Who knew what they wanted? All I knew was that I wanted to keep my clan safe from harm. That was when I got a message from the library. I was being called into a meeting. Someone wanted to talk. It was a bit ominous. All the PEP unit leaders in the town would be there. That meant that Keith, Niko and Nathan were going to be there too. I decided to go by myself. I knew that I could fight my way out of any problems. When I got to the library, I was ushered to the top floor. I sighed in disappointment. There was a large meeting room there. "We're not going downstairs?" I asked. "There will be several unauthorized personnel here at the meeting." one said.
