After another minute he stepped back from me. He pressed his hand in front of the hole. The implosion bomb was manually diffused as it slowly closed. Even then, there were moments when it opened wider again. 06-001 had to grimace and make sure it closed all the way. Once he was done, he breathed a sigh of relief. 06-001 then glared at me. "Crazy fucker! I could have killed you! You want to die or something!?" he spat. I just looked at him. "I'm your cash cow. If I die before you hand me off, no alliance for you. We both know that. Why would you blow me and the whole room up for no reason." He glared at me before leaving. It was very interesting to see the implosion bomb actually had a weakness. It could not be left idle, or it would become increasingly harder to control it. And that was with him purposely holding back. If he had went full strength at the start, who knew what could have happened? He might have had to let it detonate. That might be fun to see at some point. "Hey. Wanna have an alliance? I like that game we just played. It's better than non-aggression pacts." I offered.
The AEP units just looked at me. "You really are crazy." 06-001 said. I just looked back at him. "Maybe. But you know I am strong and ready for a fight. What do you even have to lose here!?" He smirked and said "Fine. We can have an alliance." We shook hands and he pat me on the back. "Alright. We'll stay here until Impact Clan comes to get us." I assured him. 06-001 nodded and we were left to ourselves. We were not going to escape, so we could go around the house and look around. The house had a pool in the backyard. I was able to splash around in it for a bit with my clanmates. It was chlorinated, not salinized. Therefore, even the most sensitive PEP units in the area could take a dip. PEA and AEP units were blessed with bodies that did not have that type of weakness. I got a call on the phone. Brett was checking in on me after everyone else got back to the clan building. I told them that we got taken in by Wind Clan and were forging an alliance. Brett chuckled. "Leave it to you to get an alliance with everyone. Who are we going to war with, huh?" he asked me. "The next loser." I said.
It was the next day that a regular PEP unit came to us. Some of us were chilling out in front. They did not trust us fully, so only 3 of us could be out at a time. I was with just Nolan and Aaron. The rest were upstairs. We 3 were being watched by 06-003 and a pair of PEA units. The 3 of us could escape at any time. Ava, Colton and Caleb would be fucked though. The PEP unit looked at us from PBJ Clan and said "You guys are new. What's going on here? Outsiders should not be here." The cheerful AEP unit said "We're all waiting here for a deal between Impact Clan. The safehouse is suspended until then." "But this is supposed to be a safe place for us." the PEP unit said to him. The AEP unit did not care. "When the deal is done, the safehouse will resume operation." he explained. He pulled out a double-sided vibrator. "I heard weird types of toys like this works on AEP units. I was going to donate it for some credits and some time at the charge station. I'm low." At the mention of the word "toy", 06-003 looked really interested in it. He took it and said "Go charge up. It's in the gym downstairs."
