Right to Left, Top Row: 01, Drenor, 03 Bottom Row: Lindon, Zamir, 06
When we were out the room with the door closed, I glared at him. Before I could say anything, he raised a hand and said "You know that this is valuable and needed work. They are caring for those that really need their care." I just said "What the fuck!? They are kids. My kids." "Our kids." he corrected me. That riled me up. "I'm taking them." I told him. "You can take the three you decide to name." he informed me. I did not want to be there with him for any amount of time longer. "We'll talk about this more later. I can't think straight right now." I said. "Very understandable. Humans are taken by irrational thoughts and emotions all the time. I don't mind." I quickly went back into the room. They came up to me again. This time they dropped the fake smiles. "What's wrong?" one of them asked. "No one's ever stormed out the room like that before. Are you okay, daddy?" one of them asked me. I just took a deep breath and said "06660 said that I am to take 3 of you and bring you back to live with me in my clan." I informed them. They looked at each other confused. They never left the clinic.
X-frames and AEP units aside, they were not allowed to know about clan activity or their operations. It was way above their clearance. They just helped in the clinic. That also meant that they did not even know where the clan building was. Really, they were just simple prostitutes to help fuck the junkies into submission to get them ready for treatment. I had seen a good movie the day before in the real world. I decided to name them after some of the minor characters. Drenor, Lindon and Zamir were part of a big band of heroes that fought off an evil tyrant. They seemed pretty ambivalent to their new names. The others were just given numbers. 06660 had refused to name them before as the fact they were halfbreeds made them undesirable. "Even if they are immensely strong, there is no use for them. We normally wouldn't have named the original AEP units either, but Brett went ahead of us." I just shook my head and said "I will take them home. I don't want to hear that anything crazy happened to the others. Dylan also isn't doing too well. This is not an environment for young people."
Young people being in this environment might not mean much. This was a videogame. One set in a cyberpunk fantasy continent. I brought Drenor, Lindon and Zamir to the front of the clinic. 03-002 was waiting for me. "These 3 are some of my children with 06660." The AEP units looked at them. "Halfbreeds are no concern of ours. Do what you like." he said with no major reaction either way. The children looked back at 03-002 and asked if he wanted treatment. "No! He doesn't!" I snapped and pushed them all out the door. 03-002 was a bit more indignant at the brusque treatment. He was technically one of my liege lords. We got to the car, and I had 03-002 drive. He seemed to enjoy the opportunity. "Things are going to be hectic going forward. This is full blown civil war that Toxic Clan kicked off. Erosion Clan is already involved in it too." "I'll try and see what I can do with Pierce Clan. We did a job for them recently. Hopefully we can convince them to sit this one out for now." I said. "That would be good." 03-002 told me. We dropped him off at the campus. I then took the driver's seat.
