We were going to have our work cut out for us. It was large and black with green writing. They had each of the targets' information. Their daily routines, home and work addresses and family profiles were all very meticulously recorded for us. There was no way they did not want a series of hits on these men to be carried out. If they came to the PEA units, that meant these targets were no joke. PEP units were not equipped to handle these people. The units I saw before me were probably not ready for it either. Sighing deeper, I said "I'm worried this is just a huge trap. Maybe Cold Clan wants to throw us under the bus and is trying to punish us." They all gasped and said that it was not true. That I was being overly paranoid. That Cold Clan was our rightful leaders. That Cold Clan would never steer us wrong. That they were going to do their best for the region. I knew then and there that they were all going to die if they went out on this mission. It did not even occur to them that this could be a trap or a strategy to put us in a weak position. I was not going to let that happen. I was the engineer.
Losing all the PEA units that were getting lots of clout for, could serve as a big message to us. 'Stay in your place.' would be what would come to mind. I could not let them go. They would all simply get rolled. Either by the government, or by agents sent by Cold Clan. "I will make my final selections for the mission tomorrow. I'll see you then. You are dismissed." I told them. They then left frowning. It was as if they were upset at me for being such a killjoy. That actually made me chuckle for a bit. It was up to me to make sure that the clan was standing. Paul and Brett were like sledgehammers for a single screw. They were the last resort and were probably off having fun in the world. I had work. I had to do something. Wallowing in despair was not what I wanted. I remembered when we fought for the autonomy of Volition. The leader was immediately cowed by the demands of the Void AEP. He was also horrified when 02 and the AEP got into an argument in the lobby of the gym. To the cyborgs, they were nearly perfect beings that their progenitors put massive legends in their programming about.
I personally had seen them derp themselves into deep trouble and destruction too many times to agree with that. They seemed to be certain though. In any case, I just needed to keep my wits about me going forward. Things were definitely going to get a lot more interesting going forward. The next day, I went down to the PEA lab to check something out. I stopped when I saw something crazy. In one of the cots where the units slept, Skylar was getting a sloppy, wet blowjob. One that felt good from the way he was writhing a moaning. "We've been at this for hours already! I told you I don't have the memory nanites right now. Let me go now, or I'll kill you!" Skylar said out loud. When his dick was out the mouth of his apparent attacker he added "You can't corner an officer like this and get away with this. I will have you punished for this." The attacker just smirked. "Looks to me like you would have if you could, shrimp! Now give me those nanites." he said, pressing his face closer to Skylar's groin. It was a very brutal oral assault. The trapped medical officer whined and groaned in real pain.
Skylar tried to slap and punch at him. It did nothing to deter the one sucking his dick. "All you've done here is made me hypersensitive. It is tantamount to torture. Let me go!" he yelled. Tears of pain and frustration were pricking at the corner of his eyes. I had seen more than enough. I walked over and yanked the attacker off of the cot. All of this was coming to an end. I protected my clanmates. "You better have a good reason why you were torturing my medical officer." I warned. Skylar looked very relieved to see me coming to his defense. He pointed at his assailant. Skylar said "Brianne. We have to punish this unit. Not only did he attack an officer right now. He aspires to steal the memory nanites for himself." He scoffed. "If a bit of licking and sucking was enough to be torture and he could not get free, maybe the shrimp doesn't deserve his position." he said. True. It was a bit of a shameful display. However, the very vicious attacker was simply just rippling muscles. I would be hard pressed to believe that Skylar even could rebuff a challenger like that even if he did fight his hardest.
