I winced as I had to take that on the chin. They were right. I sighed and said "Yeah. I get it. If you can't find something in the next couple of days, I'll give you a mission to take on." They then left the dojo. I was with all the AEP units that stayed. Ashley, Tracie and Sterling were waiting to talk to me next. I asked Robin what he wanted first. I was the most interested in what he would say. He was here even though he did not need to be. Robin shook his head. "I want to speak in private." he said. I just nodded and let my attention turn to Ashley and Sterling. "Now that we have the memory nanites, what should we do with them?" Ashley asked. Sterling nodded his head. I had an idea for it. I asked the 3 of them to follow me to the AEP lab. None of them had the magnetic organ except for Tracie. I let them sit in the chairs as they did so. When he was done with his integration, Sterling said "This doesn't answer what we should do with the excess memory nanites we absorbed." I had an idea that was dumb, but cool. "Well, all the androids of my home had guns in the butt. Noone sees it coming." I said.
All of them looked at me unimpressed. That was until they saw I was very serious. "But a gun... in the anus!? How would that work logistically!?" Ashley demanded. I just shook my head with a smug look. "Not in the anus. One gun in each butt cheek. You'll have 2 of them." Sterling said "You have to be joking. I don't believe you." I shrugged. "To be fair, that was a long time ago. They also had to charge the cyborgs through the anus. Luckily, you guys are way more advanced." I conceded. "Then why offer an outdated strategy?" Robin asked. I said "You can't beat the classics. Just because you have way more firepower and bullet proofing doesn't make you better in every way. The androids in those times could fly on their own. You guys can't do it. It's just an emergency tactic at the end of the day. You don't have to take it, but that would be one way to use the nanites you have." It was a tough sell. I knew that. I just let it float in the air for a bit. Tracie huffed and said "Do you think that I would be more effective in a fight that way?" he asked. I said "I think so. The final choice is all yours."
He said "I'll do it then. I don't have any other need for the nanites otherwise." Ashley and Sterling looked at each other before giving me another look. Robin looked really unsure about it. He said "Brianne. Are you sure that you aren't tricking us? I don't like that kind of tactic." It was an honest question. "I swear I am not trying to trick you. If you want to use the nanites you have in a different way, you can." They both went silent for a full minute. In the end, they decided to do it as well. Tracie and Robin had their plasma cannons on their upper back. Ashely and Sterling had their cannons on their lower backs. Robin's was gray as he did not have memory nanites. Sterling's was pale yellow. Tracie and Ashley's were green. The bullets that they could fire were going to be the same color for the first magazine. Then it would revert to gray until they got more inside them. It took them a bit for them to get them ready. When they were done, they bent over and showed me. All their butt cheeks opened up and the handgun barrels stuck out. I did not know how to feel about it. It was honestly a bit uncanny.
