I don't think I was reaching them. I finished with "You do not 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 let it float in the air for a bit. Colton huffed at me and said "Do you think that I would be more effective in a fight that way?" 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." Ava and Adrian looked at each other before giving me another look. Eli 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 all. If you want to use the nanites you have in a different way, you can." They went silent for a full minute. In the end, they all decided to do it as well. Every single one decided to put a sparkly golden shotgun in each ass cheek. The bullets that they could fire were going to be the same color for only the first magazine. Then it would revert back to the standard gray until they got more colored nanites inside them. If they still wanted that.
There would always be more memory nanites. It took them a bit for them to get them ready. When they were done installing new weapons in their bodies, they all bent over and showed me their results. All their butt cheeks opened up and the shotgun barrels stuck out. I did not know how to feel about it. It was honestly a bit too uncanny for me personally. However, I had already fully committed to the bit here. If I did not want these 9 powerful clan members to permanently lose all trust in me, there was not a single good way of going back. Now that we had come this far, I had no other option but to affirm them. "Looks really good guys." I said with a smile. I hoped that I was convincing enough. Cameron smiled back at me and let the guns recede back inside his body. Adrian just sighed and let them recede in his ass too. "I guess I can work with these." he said. The rest also let them recede. I just nodded my head at him. He then left the lab. 01, 03 and 04 also needed to go back to the Volition Clan. I watched them go. There was now 2 guns in each of their asses. That was very new to me.
I wondered if it would be a problem later on. 02 was secluded in his special room. That was to keep from having problems. I knew that they would try to look for him, so I told 02 not to leave his room until I got him. After 10 more minutes looking over my notes, I made sure that they were actually gone. I found them in the rock garden. All 3 of them were hiding behind the bigger rocks. I crossed my arms. "I thought that you guys had to go home?" I asked them. 01 and 03 had the decency to look guilty. 04 was bold. "We don't answer to humans. We're waiting for 02 to show up so we can kill him!" he said. Obviously he felt no fear mouthing off to me. It really looked like he was fresh out the X-frame. I walked over to him and slapped him across the face. At first, he was stunned. He could not believe a human would treat him with such disrespect. I was not someone to mess with. I was going to show him why. "You three need to get the hell out of here before I kick you all out. Personally." I told them. All of them went hostile after hearing that. I beat them up. The had me in the first half though.
