It was probably their first mission out with the enemy. They came back and demanded I follow them. "We want to talk. C'mon" one said. Being that I was actually awake and aware, I knew better than to follow them. I told them I was staying where all of my friends could see me. "That's not fair! You have to come with us Brianne!" the other whined. They had my name already. I said "No, I don't. Just tell me what you want to tell me." They looked at each other and the one in the pink shirt said "Let me kill you." I was impressed with the blunt nature of the request. Normally I would say that took balls, but they were just kids and did not have a single clue what they were doing if not in combat or directly handled by other units. The other pushed him out the way and said "No way! I saw him first. I want to kill him!" They were glaring at each other and they started flexing their armored plating at each other. I sighed and they looked at me. "Let me guess. You guys are after the big bounty." I said out loud. They looked shocked. "How do you know about all that!?" the one in the red shirt demanded.
I rolled my eyes at him. "You're not the first to try taking me out. Just go. I have a group of very strong AEP units here that will defend me if I get into some combat with you." I said. Calculating the odds of their survival, they both backed off immediately. There was nothing else they could do. While they were overpowered compared to the humans at this point of the game due to the speed running, unless it was a direct combat, they had the real possibility of derping themselves into mistakes and traps or letting crucial information slip out. I was able to get out of them that they were from the Impact Clan and that this gas station was directly above their clan building. The cyborgs were from the Conqueror faction and wanted to look imposing. That is why they had the outfit on. I just shook my head. I craned my neck and saw all the PEP units at the counter face palming and looking besides themselves with embarrassment. They did not want to make it too obvious, so they sent them out alone. It was the biggest mistake they could make. They were lucky I treated all AEP units with kid gloves.
