This situation was becoming more and more complicated. "You guys are siblings, right? That's cute. Same father or same mother?" I wanted to know which parent was the PEP unit. The purebred PEA unit answered me. "We are half siblings. We share a mother." The mother that stays inside all day doing chores. She was probably the actual PEP unit here. Unless the father was crippled in some way and could not fix themselves at the library. That seemed less likely. I did not really like the librarians too much, but they were smarter than to leave a crippled cyborg alone on the streets. The hybrid seemed to be waiting for his brother's approval to speak. He smiled at me and said "Hello. My name is Boy Slut, and this is my elder brother Butt. We live near the bank." Butt glared him into silence. "He does not need to know where we live." It was a real blunder. Butt may have said they were native residents of the town, but he did not give me any details. We definitely were going to need to check up on this. I asked them "Were you guys out for exercise here or was there a mission you were on?"
Butt shoved Boy behind him and yelled "Get away from us. Now!" "What's going o-" was all Boy could say before Butt said "Shut up and keep moving!" They continued running down the path. Butt was glaring at me for quite some time though. I just watched them retreat. I understood now. It was all adding up. The deviant units, the parentage, Butt's sudden aggression, and their retreat. Their father was a reprogrammer. If he caught a female PEP unit, it would not be too hard for a decent hacker to hack into them. Especially if it was a very low tier unit. Once they had access to the unit's systems, they could allow the cyborg to do all the tasks it needed to eventually rack up enough clout for a sexual upgrade. From there, she would proposition a male with an upgrade. Once she was pregnant, it was game over. He had a baby PEA unit to mold as he saw fit. Then he probably decided to try fucking her. Boy was younger than Butt. Once they were old enough, he made them deviants so none of the PEP units would want anything to do with them. It was actually a great plan on his part.
I told the group my thoughts on it and they were all appalled by it. They wanted to do something about it. I shook my head. "You've done enough. We have all our credits and have reported the sighting. The others can take care of this mess. I think it can get pretty messy." They pouted at me, but they had to obey. It was not that I did not doubt their earnest zeal. It was because they had not been proven in battle except for Brandon. Alpha was waking up from a nap. Beta, Gamma and Epsilon fucked me for their position in the clan. Lime was once again too young. Zeta might be a good bet. He was good at handling rifles at the very least. The ones that were at the assault of the Water Clan with Paul and Brett were who I was going to go to first. It simply made sense to take the toughest members on such a clandestine mission. It meant that I had to go back to the apartments to get them. The others went down into the clan building. It was their first official mission for the clan after all. It had been a flawless success and they made an important discovery. They could brag to the others.
