From there, they would make their way to the locations in Plans A-D. They would then breed and use a stockpile of energy packs to stay there until they gave birth to the first PEA units. Selecting 26 PEP units to be given their own X-frames was so random. There were 13 variants of the X-frame model, so it made sense. Obviously, Sunny and Lucy already had theirs. So did the imperious leader of the Volition Clan. There was a problem though. All 3 of theirs were the male models. There would be no way to breed. I just said "Well, we could just go as a clan. We could even stay here. Is there a certain upgrade that we'll need to do this?" I asked Sunny said "There is a part that needs to be installed into an X-frame. The local safehouse will give them to the chosen." "I don't think that we'll be chosen. We already have X-frames, and we are modified. No non deviant would allow us to breed with them." Lucy added. That was sad. I was not going to take that for an answer. "Lucy. Sunny. Get up. We're going to get those upgrades for you now. I'm sick and tired of you 2 having to pay for what I did."
Neither of them said anything. "You fucked me and got pregnant. That was your job, and you did it. I'm going to fight for you. Then we'll use it to benefit the whole clan." I said. They both looked very surprised to hear it. It was part of their programming to not even consider disobeying the transmission hub. As a human that cred for them, I needed to stand up. Just like that Libra Force agent did for Zayne. Doing something was way different than saying something, so I dragged them to the library and demanded to speak to the librarians. They tried to just give me the cold shoulder, but I found one of them and cornered her. I then pointed at both Sunny and Lucy. "They are in the required parameters to warrant the special X-frame upgrades. Give it to them." I said firmly. She scoffed and said "And let modified units achieve the greatest glory that the transmission hub has assigned? Never!" she hissed quietly. I leaned in closely and said "You will do it. Or I will talk to a gang fixer in the city. You can't touch him, but with a single phone call, everything will be exposed for the highest bidder."
Her eyes went wide. "You wouldn't da-" was all she said before I said "Try me bitch! Run the calculations. You know I don't have any problems fighting PEP units in the open street." Her eyes narrowed as she ran those silent calculations in her head. "Fine. Follow me." she said. I was made to wait at their front desk while she took Sunny and Lucy downstairs. They both had the upgrade. Relief rushed through me. It was all a massive bluff just then. I did not have a fixer contact like that. I could go find one, but not one that would not get totally slaughtered before they could do anything of importance with the prime info. I took Lucy's and fabricated it in the PEP lab. The others were still doing their self-selection before being given the go ahead to design their own X-frames. It gave me the time to make enough for the whole clan by the time that the newest members came back with theirs. "I saw them gathering materials for a new X-frame. I wonder who will be using it. It looked like they were both 07 models." Claudette said. Jessica nodded and added "They did not want us anywhere near it."
