Being the vassal of Cold Clan came with its own inconveniences for PBJ Clan. Clans were always scheming against clans of other factions. Cold Clan wanted us to take over other transmission hubs. We already gave up the rights to Water and Toxic to the agents of the government. They were still doing there research. Apparently, they needed to do a whole lot of bonus mini-games and missions to complete a open case on a PEP clan. We gave them the location and info on who ran it. All that probably sped up their processes. It still had not fired though. I did not want to step on their toes and draw their wrath again. Volition Clan was the vassal of Void Clan, so we had a strong alliance with them. The Conqueror faction also set their sights on the Advocate faction. We knew all of their clans, and we had allied ourselves with them. When we got word that the Advocates would be attacked, we supported them. Guns and money were sent over there constantly. Aside from us and Volition Clan, who took our equipment during our quid pro quo relationship days, they had the most advanced tech.
Due to this, we decide to spread the wealth around. I had personally been leaking it all to others. Paul and Brett gave a blind eye to that part. The clan leaders came over to our clan building personally to get each crate of weapons and credits. A risky move as a clan leader, but we made sure he was protected. I took the opportunity to talk to them and reminisce about our time at Location C. Being one of the Advocate faction, some were genuinely very nice to me. However, his nature of as a cyborg meant that he was ultimately loyal to his cause. After an hour of talking, he would get the crates packed up and leave. When a bit of tech was given by one of us, they were a bit worried about it getting us in trouble. "Oh Brianne. This is a bit much here. Is this really okay with your leader!?" he would always ask. I would shrug and say I gave him permission. To be honest, as long as it was only Advocates and Researchers, it would be okay. Family was important to me. We should use his power to help if our allies were under on the gun. That rubbed Cold Clan the wrong way though. We did not care.
Now that we were here in this position, we were directed to take on Pierce Clan. I did not care about it. However, Paul and Brett were really interested in finally having a hostile mission. They decided to go take them out on their own. Because they needed at least three AEP units to flip the transmission hub, they took 02, Colton, Nolan and Charlotte with them. When they came back, they were all seen as heroes. Void Clan was pissed with us because a hit on Sonic Clan failed. As such they said they were going to target them if they came back to get more stuff from us. Not wanting to put them in danger, we told them that we would wire him the credits from now on. It left the matter of the supplies up in the air. Since we were human led, they could not swallow their pride enough to actually ask for our help. When they told us about the failed hit, we were loading the crates in our trading hub. We asked if they would like to buy it on the condition they don't attack Advocate clans anymore. They refused us outright. Their eyes lingered. They gave us a big counter offer. We were all listening now.
