Under the circumstances Paul decided to go with Orange, Sparks and Katie. Erin and Finian had some time off from the police station, but they would much rather finally get their own X-frames. Finian went with the XF-09M model. Erin took the plans for the XF-02F. I wished them luck. Rosalyn was going to help us hold down the fort at the cab depot. The Red Grind was closed until they got back. I was wandering through the town I loved when I was bumped into by Emil. He wanted to tell me to be very careful. "The police are sniffing around the library now. Mandy and Nathan can only do so much to hold them back from finding anything." "If it's such a big problem, why doesn't the hub just give out an assassination mission? They'd probably be gone after a few heads roll." I asked. Emil said "Use your head, you idiot! We're in a very delicate situation right now. The more we fight, the more they close in on us. The best option is to lay low for a little while." It was probably fine. The big cities were where all the action was. I could take it easy. Brett and Paul were making a mess of the cities.
All the rest of us did what was recommended. We stayed low except for the depot. The drivers went about their jobs. It was easy as the customers were in the back seat and the PEP units were covered up. We could not keep everyone here inside, or it would look very suspicious. The Red Grind had no staff, so it had to be closed for the time being. Paul even brought a pair of female PEP units with him. "Say hello to Claudette and Jessica." They looked strikingly similar. Both were blond with a sandy complexion and an hourglass figure. Jessica had lime green eyes and Claudette had baby blue. The addition was welcomed with their own pair of blueprints for X-frames. I personally gave them the permission to go. They immediately took them and left for the Foundry. They had run around the 2 cities making sure no one could do anything to determine any of the locations. However, even Devils were limited by the time they invested online. Players were able to crack codes for Plans E-G. Those were abandoned. Instead, a squad would be sent as a decoy to annihilate the weaklings.
It would also serve to delay the stronger government agents. It was also finally time for us all to learn what "Next Stage" was for the PEP units. Apparently, it was stuff that we already knew. Being that we were in a clan, we were privy to lots of information that PEP units would not willingly give out. Even to humans in allied syndicates and lovers. Because the world responded to the actions done within it, there was a major development for the game. Dwan Town was full of cyborgs capable of breeding, we had unintentionally triggered the mid game. Now that we had so many PEA units, the transmission hub has decided that the next stage of their advancement should be AEP units. The higher-ranking PEP units had been talking about it. Because they were noticing us all fucking and making so many. Now, the PEP units bellow 3000 were going to take the best among them and get their X-frames. Apparently, the ones from the first generation knew how to access and commune with the transmission hubs directly. So, there were going to be 26 special X-frames in the works. I just smirked.
