Void Clan, seeing that their ability to castle was coming to an end, made an attack against Erosion Clan. It was a sneak attack in the dead of night. They took out the big warehouse where their transmission hub was. They got a trio of AEP units to hack into the undefended transmission hub. It was now another Advocate hub. That brought their total to 4. They were able to defend it long enough for new AEP units to be spawned. That wait brought us over the deadline before they were born. It did not stop them either. Radioactive Clan had 2 clans willing to confederate with them. Neither where in the same city, but all that mattered was that it was in the transmission hub's territory. Heat club did the same thing. We were snubbed. They went with Keith and Niko's clans. When Paul Brett and I discussed it, they said they did not want deviants or humans in the confederation. I could not believe my ears. After everything that we had to offer was counted, we were one of the best clans in the whole continent. This was just discrimination and disrespect. "Don't worry. We will have jobs for you." the leader said.
I stood up and said "Since you are there, you can log a second confederation. PBJ Clan will lead Clan Star, Clan Beer, Clan Pump and Dump and Clan Pass and Gas." I was not going to take any disrespect from an NPC. Why the hell should I? Heat Clan was totally shocked at our response. It should not have been. This was the nuclear option, but they had been scared this would happen before. Maybe they thought we would simply not look into these types of things. Whatever the case, they had a choice to make. After hemming and hawwing, Mason asked them to do it. They tried to offer more excuses, but then Brett told them to do it. Getting a bit testy, they tried to take the high road, however Brett crossed his arms and demanded it. We were no longer asking. We were also no longer willing to play nice with them. "If you don't do it, we will declare war on you and take over the hub for ourselves." he added. "Fine. We will log it in the transmission hub for you." the vice leader said. "Don't forget that we have AEP units and a lab. We will check it." Paul said. I swore I saw the leader wince a bit.
All of our AEP units and 10-003 were in the lab the next day. We had given them a single day for a grace period. If it had not been logged, we would have a small war of liberation with them. It would be a "small" war, because a single university campus was what they had. There was no way they could defend themselves from us if we stormed them. What would they do, call the cops? The 10 AEPs laid on the comfy chairs and plugged themselves into the network. Luckily for them, they had the good sense to enter our confederacy into the transmission hub. It was time to call the fellow members of the confederacy here. We did not give them the X-frames with the sexual upgrades yet. It was time for them to have them. We could no longer rely on Heat Clan to allow us to get good missions that would drop the blueprints. That was when Caleb came from the PEP lab. He wanted to bring us there to show us something. On the whiteboard was the blueprints for the 03F model. I stood corrected. As a confederacy, we now got the blueprints to represent the transmission hub. Heat Clan had both.
