All the charity and hospitality he had for me ran dry. "Get. Out. Of. My. House!" he said as he shoved me out of the doorway of the apartment. I made it hard on him, but I did let him move me along. He had superhuman strength, but I was just as strong if not stronger. I could have stopped him. Unfortunately, I tripped over the doorjamb and landed on my butt. I looked at the PEP units at the door. They looked very amused at how roughly I was being treated by their leader. We were rival clans. Keith then looked at his guards and said "You come in. I have to speak to you about something." They nodded. After about an hour of wandering, my cell phone began to ring. I picked it up. It was Paul calling me. "You got to come back. We don't have the AEP lab or the PEA lab. We'll need to add some generators too." he said. That was really something. I just looked at my phone in confusion. It was something that I could do as the engineer. I thought that he would just hack in and do it himself. It was nice that he was including me in this. "I will be right there. Just wait a bit." I told him as I hung up.
I decided to run since I was pretty far into the park. As I was running, I bumped into someone and fell to the ground. I was fine, but that was weird. I looked up and saw a male PEP unit looking nervous and reaching down to pick me up to my feet. I let him help. He was wearing rags and I knew that he was new in town. All the PEP units in town were part of a clan and they made sure they were taken care of. He said "I'm so sorry! I was just told that you could help me. I didn't want to hurt you. Are you okay sir!?" I looked at him more closely. He had a milk chocolate skintone with a lanky body type. His hair was short and black, and the eyes were a dull brown. If I did not know any better, I would think he was blind. I asked for his designation. He rubbed the back of head nervously. "That obvious, huh!?" he asked. "You're a bit too sturdy for your body type." I said. I was not going to just tell him about my eyes. His designation was 0911. That explained his eyes. He was one of the last ones rushed out. As that was the case, I would not expect much quality from him. I just sighed. He frowned.
Looking at him, he looked good enough. Our clan was a large charity case anyway. "Fine. Come with me. I have to go to the clan building anyway." I said as I turned my head to the proper direction. I then started walking. I did not want to leave him behind. Who knew what would happen if I let him go on his own? It was a miracle that no one noticed already. We made it to the cab depot. Everyone in the clan was already there. We went down the elevator and the low quality cyborg was awed. The others looked at him with confusion and then displeasure. I raised an eyebrow, but no one really wanted to say anything. That was probably for the best. I cleared my throat and introduced them. "We have a new recruit." They lost interest soon after. It was time for me to get to work. I walked to the terminal in the main hall and entered my clan credentials. I was going to have to add several additions to the clan building. First off, there was going to have to be another sub-basement level. That meant we needed to extend the elevator shaft. That lower level was where we were put the AEP and PEA labs.
