It was an All-Around STG44 Loadout with a MX Silencer muzzle and a VDD 760MM 05B barrel. He showed them the VDD 3S Weighted stock and the M3 Ready Grip underbarrel. I asked about their magazine. He popped it out and showed it to me. "Lengthened .30 Russian Short 20 Round Mags" he explained. The gun also had a big stippled grip. Each of the commandos had this. They also had 4 other magazines attached to them for reloading. This was not the only gun that they were equipped with here to show. Another commando pulled out their M19. It had a 5mW laser sight and stippled grip tape. Their magazine was extended to hold 11 rounds inside. They also had a bonus 4 magazines. The AEP units looked at them. The Researchers were very curious about their weapons. The Advocates were all very happy that the humans were here to interact with them. I looked at the AEP units. "It is time for you guys to show them the weapons and the AEP organs you have. I know lots of you have been given weapon upgrades." All 3 commandos were shocked as they poked out their bodies.
To be fair, I already was shocked that Erosion 04 was allowed to exist. While all of them were walking timebombs, 04 could actually survive after the big detonation. "Holy shit man! Why the fuck are we even going in there for then!? Just let him blow the thing to smithereens!" one of them remarked. I nodded my head. "Yep. I'm sure that you have been briefed on them. Keep them close by and look out for each other. Maybe they will be good contacts for you to have in a pinch later on." I told them. One of the human researchers saw it and ran over to take some notes. All of the Researcher faction AEP units aside from Cameron let their weapons recede into their bodies. It was clear they did not want to reveal secrets. This was not too effective as the Advocates and Cameron were still able to talk to them. They were enthusiastically poking and prodding at their bodies. Cameron and 04 from Erosion Clan thought it was a game and began doing the same to them. Erosion 04 was not answering questions as he was probably instructed, but he was asking his own now. It was funny to watch them.
Ultimately, this was what I had in mind. Everyone getting together and becoming more comfortable around each other would be for the best. The general and researcher were watching this happen from their seats by their huge camera setup. I walked over to them. The general gave me a scathing look. "Does playing around with a bunch of literal weapons of mass destruction like them make you feel like a big man!?" he accused. I just shrugged my shoulders. "Honestly, I don't know over a third of them. It seems like they could be okay if you treat them right." I told them. He scoffed. The head researcher just sighed. "We have a duty to all the people on this continent. You know that there is an element that wants to hurt people." I nodded. "Yeah. I am trying to help out the ones that are not trying to conquer the continent." I said firmly. I then looked behind the both of them to check the time. It was half past 4 o'clock. We were getting closer and closer to the stand off with all of the cyborgs inside the mechanic shop. I was a little less anxious though. Ryder, Maroon, and 02 were with me for back up.
