Zipping back to the clan building, I made sure to put them up in the apartment building with a nice setup. I had to set some ground rules. I did not want them giving their treatment to any of the members or residents in the building. They did not seem to be upset. Like Dylan, they did not want to be fucked by junkies and burnouts. There is something rotten about how they operate over there. I was glad that these 3 were now safe and ready to be in a clan that would actually appreciate them. 06-001 went to them and berated them for being halfbreeds. I got in between them and said "I don't want to hear you insulting members of my clan. You are an ambassador to our clan now. You already know that this is unacceptable. Stop it." He looked upset. "You can't be serious! You already have halfbreeds over here. Why are you going to lower the quality of your clan by adding them?" I scoffed. "You would be flattened by any of them. It's just a matter of whether they learn to fight. Remember Chase?" I told him. He got pissed off. He then looked at Lindon and said "Fine. I'll take you on and show you all!"
I lead them over to the dojo. Lindon looked at 06-001 and then at me. "What should I do? I don't know how to fight." he said, not happy about the situation. I blinked. That is not good. "Well, it looks like you are going to lose by forfeit. I don't want to see you get hurt." I said. Zamir said "I want to try it. He looks like he could use someone putting him in his place." He then gave a kick to the air in front of him. I was not sure that was going to be effective, but he seemed confident. "Looks like there is going to be a switch in opponents. You'll be facing Zamir now." I told the ambassador. He did not seem to care one iota. "It looks that the one I chose was the smart one. Zamir is the by far the dumbest." he mocked. I rolled my eyes as they got into position. Like I thought, what Zamir lacked in tactics or skill, he made up for in monstrous strength. I knew his level was in the hundreds. 06-001 could not grapple him or take him down without the halfbreed breaking free easily. However, the AEP unit was able to get lots of hits off of Zamir due to him not being able to react. When Zamir did hit, it did damage.
After a few minutes, Zamir was able to see get 06-001 into a bear hug. He had it locked in and would not let go. 06-001 could not escape. "Damnit! Let me go filthy half breed! I will not lose to trash like you!" he screamed. Their battle was at an end if 06-001 could not break free. Eventually, I called it in Zamir's favor. 06-001 was furious. I just said "You win some, you lose some." That did not calm the AEP unit down. He tried to do the same thing he did to Chase, but Zamir cracked him one on the jaw. It took half a minute before he could reconfigure the nanites back to the right place. It was a vicious blow. I made sure to step in between them at this point. "Alright! Time to cool off. The spar is over." I said firmly. I took my children out of the dojo. 06-001 could do all the venting he wanted by himself. I did not care. I made sure that they all were made official members of the clan so that no one would be tempted to attack them in order to get revenge. Brett and Paul were here, so I went to report everything that went on at the meeting. Mason already told them his report. They were successful too.
Being that we were at war, we had to think about what we would do. 10-001 and 10-002 were dead. That did not mean that they were the only hard hitters their clan had to use. Still, taking more pieces off of the board was good for us. Paul wanted a full assault on the hub. "We know where it is. We just have to go and kill everyone inside." he said. I shot that down. "The 3 of us are not enough for that. It would paint targets on our backs from all sides. I also don't know when the Sages are going to get smart, but this will be an obvious sign, we've been fucking around." I told them. Brett shrugged and said "Those assholes declared war on 5 clans and 2 syndicates at once. We can just get some of them to go with us so it doesn't look so suspicious." That would probably work out for us. It was better than the first plan at any rate. I nodded my head. Paul added "Phobia also hates them, so that is 3 syndicates against them. I don't think it will be too long before the death squads start coming for them. We'll just go when they start fighting." I agreed with that plan. They were fucked now.
