Their confederation members would also get them since they had their PEP labs online. None of our confederacy members had one. We would have to give them all the money and resources to build one. It would put their ability to research them near 0. We could do it easily. As the clan engineer, I set that to be the priority of the PEP lab for the next few days. Within the day, all the members of the various clans making up the confederacy were in our main hall. They got to marvel at it all for a bit. Our members loved to show off their X-frames. This was also a good chance to see the other clans that Paul established. Clan Pump and Dump and Clan Pass and Gas were a pair of silly names. They did get across the fact that they sold gas and electric charges to cars passing by on the roads. Both Pump and Dump and Pass and Gas were exclusively male. With Pump and Dump, I was a bit suspicious. While they did have general templates. They all looked a bit too similar. I was not going to say anything, but I was thinking Paul really just spawned in actual new NPCs to staff a new clan.

Further adding to my suspicions was that half of them willingly took the female sexual upgrade. They were named for their colored hoodie. Red, Blue and Green had the male parts. Purple, Pink and Yellow were the females of the clan. I shook my head and moved on. The whole point of a confederacy was that each member clan would contribute something. Just like the X-frames, the XX-frames had several parts. There were the general plans, the systems, neurooptics and the chassis. We also had to do the cockpit and the power core for the XX-frame. On top of that would be at least 3 AEP unit pilots. Technically our contribution was already done. We had the blueprints for the general plans. Since we did not want to wait forever, we would continue the research in our labs. Clan Beer and Clan Pump and Dump pledged to contribute 1 AEP unit each. The female members were already pregnant with the PEA units to come. Clan Star and Clan Pass and Gas also pledged to contribute a pilot after they realized that there was nothing else for them to do. They needed X-frames though.
Due to their only being the female version of the heat X-frame, we needed to give the other clans a male model to get them pregnant. We decided that the 06Mx models were too precious. They got the 09M model. They got to choose which members would get what model. For Pump and Dump, it was Purple, Pink and Yellow that would get the male X-frame. They needed to be able to leave the X-frames in order to give birth to their offspring. Also, it would be the only opportunity they would have to feel what a proper orgasm feels like. For Pas and Gas, it was the one with the red hat and jacket and the one with the headphones. The other 3 would be female, meaning they would have 3 AEP units. For Star, it was a split right down the middle. The 2 black haired units would have to wait for the heat X-frames. The others would get the radioactive ones. For Beer, there were going to be 4 males. The dark blue haired male, the guys with the denim jacket, 05117 and 04920 were going to be the ones to do it. The others would be females. The denim jacket was the odd man out. He would not breed.
