Strength and violence were the only language that the Conqueror faction understood. The Toxic Clan ran a bank of all things. That was where the transmission hub was hosted. All of the main Clans had their clan building be near the host of their transmission hub. This was something that could not be ignored. Not only could we go on a massive heist, but we could also take over the hub and turn it to the Researchers faction. It had to be a full clan undertaking. I learned that you needed more than 1 AEP unit to hack the hub and change its alignment. Doing everything was too much strain on just 1 of them. We had 9 units. Ava, Caleb and Cameron were all going to be with Paul, Bret and I for the actual heist. Our PEP units would be on support by watching the skies and engaging the police and Toxic Clan operatives in their X-frames. I had our 3 PEA units driving the getaway vans. None of us had the skill to drive a van with cops chasing us halfway across the continent. The guild building was where we would be laying low after it was done. It had an armory to fight and a lounge to relax with.
Preparing for it took a while. We had to get all the parts ready. The getaway vans and the motorcycles that the others would be using to track all of the government's big movements had to be armored up and ready to go. The vans were going to take us to the guild building in several routes depending on the pushback by the government goons on our tail. Those on the cycles would be helping to pick off those that follow us. The X-frames were to buy time at the bank to hack the X-frame. We needed a clear picture of the layout of the bank. We sent Amp and Arc to film discreetly as they made new accounts at that bank. Now that they were millionaires, they were taken down to the bank vaults. They did not have any hard assets for the main vault, but they were able to film it nonetheless. It was a success. While we were planning this all out, we got a visit from Toxic Clan. They had heard of our plans from the "grapevine". Basically, all of the PEP units in the guild that were not in PBJ Clan snitched on us and told the Cold Clan leadership. Cold Clan told Void Clan. Void Clan then told Toxic Clan.
That really sucked. A guild purge was going to have to take place before we could do any scheming that was not in Cold Clan's best interest. Now that Toxic Clan knew what we were doing, they bumped up security and added anti-cyborg measure to make it impossible for us to get the rest of our clan down there to get the transmission hub. That had to be a sign of them being scared. Nothing had happened this whole year in-game I was gone. After the instigators 10-001 and 05-001 died, they just assumed that everything was water under the bridge with us. Now, they were both confused as to why we had not let it go yet. It was pretty frustrating to hear that shit coming from them. 10-002 was on a bounty mission. I had no clue who put the bounty on us, but it had to be someone that we had bad blood with. While the hit was still up, opportunistic PEP, PEA and AEP units would try killing us. It was not just Paul, Brett and I in the crosshairs. The humans in the guild and Clan Ghost all had bounties too. None of theirs were as high as ours were, but none were as hard to kill as us either.
