I ran away from the police officer. It was now on. Even when members of our clan met the cops, we just ran pass each other. The Magnetic Clan members were being a minor speed bump. Slowly but surely, they were whittled down. There were seven storehouses, the main factory, and three assembly lines housed by a large awning. I just shook my head. There were also a canteen and a foreman's office on site. It would take way too long on our own. We had a long time to go. Eventually we found some stuff in the canteen. We still looked around and found that the trapdoor went down a storage. The only thing we found there was meats and cheeses. That was a really massive waste of time. I was getting frustrated with the search. Some of my companions could see that too. That was when I heard some dark death cries coming from somewhere. The massive volume and frequency lead us to where it was. The loudness revealed that it was in the foreman's office. All of us followed and saw their bodies stacked on other bodies. It was a massive battle. One that the cops completely lost.
12-001 and 12-002 were stood in front of us and glared us down. Behind them was a circular hatch that was fully open. I was willing to bet that they were the very last of the clan's defense for the transmission hub. They looked at us with eyes clouded by hatred. "You filthy humans did this!" 12-001 said. "You did this to yourselves. I had no clue where any of the clans were until you and 06-001 tried to kill me and Mason. Mason is dead because of you now, so you got some of what you wanted." I told them. I also pulled out the kill switch for 12-001. I pressed it and it activated. He was going to have to purge the organ rigged to explode. That made him panic again. It also let us focus on the other one. We had a divide and conqueror strategy. There was no way we could lose when several of us were fighting. None of us were wearing and metal. The half breeds were part cyborg, so they had some biometal as part of their makeup, however. Even then it was not enough to pin them to the floor. Even with 12-001's negation of bullets or metal weapons, they had wooden bats to club him to death.
They were only slowed. Once both enemy AEP units were in critical heath, they began to beg for mercy. To be honest, I was fine with not killing them. However, they also could not continue trying to kill us all. I looked at all of them and said "If you want to flee, you can. We have 3 AEP units and we are going to take Magnetic Clan as part of the Researcher faction. If you want to know that you allowed it to happen that's fine. If not, you can try to resist to the end. You'll still die, but you can feel good about yourselves then." 12-001 said "Anything but that. Can't we just fuck you and let us off with a warning!?" he begged. I shook my head. "My warning was when we let you live the first time. Now, you have to pay. We might feel nicer if you fuck us though. No tricks, or you're dead." Dolf stepped to me and asked "Should we give them treatment?" I thought about it. "Only if you want to. Be careful I don't really trust them yet." Dolf walked over to a prone 12-002 and said "If you play nice, we can both feel good." 12-002 was disgusted he would have to have sex with a half breed. "Fine. Let's go."
