It was down to the wire. I decided to spend the time looking down to see what the basic public was doing. They were on the dance floor. Manny was freestyling to some beats and getting the crowd going. It was pretty good. It was not what I normally listened too, but I was getting hyped up. 03-002 and Dylan did not see the appeal. "I'll never understand why you humans love to pour so much time and effort into meaningless things." Dylan scoffed. As soon as he said that, a couple of drunk patrons came over and began to heckle us. They did not like it. It was in their nature to be hostile to humans. In this setting, it would be a very bad idea. I got between them. "My friend is new to clubs. He is a bit of a nerd too. Doesn't listen to rock or rap. Can you believe it?" The humans seemed to calm down as the took a parting jab at them before moving on. Dylan did not let it go and followed after them. I looked at 03-002. "We don't have to follow. He is from another clan and was invited by Sonic Clan. It's their job to deal with it." 03-002 shook his head. "I want to knock sense into them too."
Maybe it would be fine if I was there to mitigate damage. There would be no way Dylan would reveal himself as an AEP unit, right!? I made sure to rush over and hurry down the stairs after them. Dylan got in their faces and was berating them. One of them was dumb enough to throw a sucker punch. It just made Dylan chuckle out loud in front of us. He probably barely even felt it. "You really did it now..." he warned. It was off to the races. They were punching and kicking each other. One tried to kick a distracted Dylan down the stairs, but Dylan simply dodged it. The man flew over his shoulder. That would take him out of the fight. The other simply pulled out a gun. We all stopped. "Who the fuck are you!?" the human demanded. Dylan frowned and said "Get the fucking gun out of my face. Get the fuck out of here." he said. "Not so scary now, are you huh!?" the man said as he backed up. Too bad that he back up right into Jesse. "Looks like someone's getting banned forever." he said with crossed arms. He was caught red handed. He sucked his teeth and stomped down the stairs.
Now that things were being handled, there was only a minute left. I said "Let's go. We need to be on the third floor." They just nodded at me. I rolled my eyes. "This is what we're here for! Look a little bit more excited." I said. As a VIP, I was looking forward to going to the lounge. It was probably going to be really fancy. I would never be invited to one in the real world. Since I was invited here, I might be allowed to be a VIP permanently. I was a high roller at the casino, but this was a new experience. The others did not care at all. "This is only fun for humans." 02-003 said. He was pouting. I thought that he had to be bluffing as his eyes were looking around. "You probably just need to get around more. We get you in a private room with someone and you'll get it." I teased as I poked him in the side. Dylan just had his hood up and sulked. I looked at him. "Even that's boring. Sex junkies diving balls deep into your ass isn't as fun as it's said to be." he said. I almost forgot they treated those types at their clinic and hospital. "I'm sorry that your first time was so horrible. That's not fair to you." I said.
Only a second went by before he looked away. "Try 8 times." he said without humor. He then walked on ahead. I just watched him go. "Mating with humans is something that we were interested in doing, but it was deemed not a very effective thing to test when I do not have the sexual upgrades." he said. That was probably true. For them, there was no need to explore mating if breeding was not possible. Even with half breed offspring being looked down upon, they would get lots of data. Researchers really wanted data on us. I could feel all of the AEP units look at me to see what they could find out. It was not in their nature to pry aggressively. However, they would be all for spying and observing. Dylan was probably more wary as he actually was born in our clan building. We even drove in the same car during the convoy. He knew for sure that I was not one to mess around with. He did not know the half of it either. There was not much I could do for him at this point. He was on the other end of the continent and in another clan. There was no way I could protect his asshole from those druggies.
