Getting 02 and 03 in the building was a chore. They got caught in the bubble and had to input the code. It was just as annoying for them as it was for the whole building to need to stop what they were doing to watch them input the code. Once that was done, I sent everyone to get back to work. 02 and 03 already knew 13-002. They were both peeved that he was here. "What are you doing wearing clothes!?" 13-002 asked them. "Why are you here and not with the symbiotes?" 02 snapped back. "Because I have been told to watch and record you in the second meeting room. I actually do my job to the best of my ability." was the answer from the Void AEP. I got in the middle and said "Let's get it over with. I'm here and strong so I will be there to intervene since We have no clue what will happen." 13-002 nodded and I led them to the meeting room. Blue and Brown were already inside the room. The meeting rooms were glass to go for a modern feel. The gymnastics team were in the adjacent room working. Or, trying to work. Blue and Brown were distracting them all with cute puppy eyes.
I opened the door and they both snapped attention to me. They saw the 3 AEP units behind me and tried coming over. "Stop! Stay where you are or you only get to talk between the glass." I was being forceful on purpose. I was not here to play around. They stopped and looked hurt. They also looked really evil though too. I rolled my eyes. "This is how the meeting works. You stay on that side of the table. We'll be on the other side of the table. We can talk for as long as you want, but you can only touch with the AEPs permission." They looked really happy. Once they sat down calmly, I went out to get the AEP units. "Go in. Remember to keep your holes covered by plating. It is a simple precaution we can have right now." I said leaning in the ears of 02 and 03. They nodded as the went in. I looked at 13-002. "Are you going in or recording from here?" I asked him. "Of course I'm staying here. Do you see what they look like." he said. I nodded. I felt the same way. I was going to go inside, when he caught my arm. "You are too. We can't have the experiment get muddied with you interfering."
The door was closed, and they got to talking. Blue and Brown were equally as enamored as they had been with 04-001 and 2. 13-002 was recording it with his own eyes for his clan. I was there for security. It well for about an hour. Both 02 and 03 were actually pretty nice to chat with. They had the hobbies of volleyball and strength training, the job of going around at the whims of Void Clan doing odd jobs, and their cyborg supremacy personal views to talk about. They did not run out of things to say during the conversation. Blue and Brown ate it up. It was really going well. Then it was their turn to talk. They talked about the merging process. They would be stronger, faster and harder to kill. However, they were mostly going to use those qualities to make more copies of the symbiotes. Once combined, they would take over some of the other AEPs and form a colony somewhere. In the colony, they would fuck and breed and reach the progenitors with corrupted AEA units. It seemed that they wanted to take them out so that they would be the dominant species on the continent. Big ambitions.
