There were several waves that we needed to clear in order to survive. The agents got slightly harder as the waves went by. There were only 3 waves now. There would probably be more soon. Quietly, we took their weapons and talked to the X-frames here. There were pairs of the 03, 07 and 11 models. They were wary and suspicious of us. However, they were in a pinch here. They really did not want to risk themselves or expend energy. There was only so much of it. Eventually, they asked us to return to our island. I was expecting it. There was nothing wrong with wanting privacy. Every week and a half, the number of waves of agents increased by 2. Brett and I made sure that we went over there to keep them safe. Paul was enough to secure the compound. Luckily, there were no Players. It seemed they were busy with the counter offensive assaults at the leaked locations. Speaking to the X-frames at Location C, Location D and B had already fallen to the agents. Watching the roads and skies allowed the savvy agents to follow some to their Locations. That was not very good.
Location A was hard to assault, but even they lost half their members to androids. As long as we were there, we would secure this Location from harm. It did boost their opinion with us all. The clan stationed here decided to call themselves Clan Ghost after living here for a while. The man from Libra Force and Mary's partner were healthy human males. They helped the PEP units out. I asked them how they were dealing with all this. With his car totaled and his home compromised, he had to move with them for his own safety. Mary's partner truly fell in love with her while they were working together. Both of them were technically now part of the clan. Zayne vouched for the man and Mary vouched for her partner. They had the X-frames at the ready. Zayne and Quck were in the XF-02F model. Mary had the XF-07M and the XF-012M was operated by Mouse. I gave them the sexual upgrades for the X-frames. That caused a bit of friction with the humans of the clan. Mary's partner had to watch Quick get dicked down by her. The agent watched as one of his best male friends got pregnant.
Location A: impact, water, radiation, void
Location B: pierce, wind, toxic

Really comfortable at the manor, time flew by really quickly. When the 9 weeks were up, the female X-frames were ready to bear the AEP units. It was not a mammalian live birth. It was just a constant stream of nanite paste that came from them. After several gallons, the nanites formed themselves into the AEP units. They were 7 feet 1 inch tall. They looked like I was expecting. Their skin was a leathery matte gray with a harder black biometal plating over it on the limbs and jaws. The augments that they had all were made and installable from the clan labs. I as the technician would be able to track and create them. The augments could range from blades, lazers and guns as weapons to wings and wheels for mobility. All the AEPs had pink hair and silver eyes. It was actually a pretty cool concept. They were much more machine than human, but they had biological metabolisms that severed them from the need to charge themselves now. They had one major flaw. They all had a big noticeable port on their chests and needed to connect to the internet to access the transmission hubs directly.
