Everyone was invested in this going well with all the time and money that went into this. It was great that even the extreme anti-cyborg faction of the clergy were helping to celebrate this occasion. While the church had already been consecrated and in use, this was the first major event. All of them wanted to take part. This was such a big event that even a news outlet caught wind of this. They flew a helicopter over us during the climax of the wedding proceedings. That was a bit annoying. However, they moved along quickly after getting their photos from the sky. The Ether human clergy of the Church of the Sky had the ceremony go by the books. It was pretty cool how everyone in the audience was able to watch and be respectful. When the ceremony was finally done, a gentle breeze filled the church. It was really comforting. Paul told me to check my menu. I got a blessing. Because we were still considered pilgrims and missionaries, we got a +10 opinion bonus to all people of our faith. Due to the church's big first ceremony being a wedding, all members present got a +10% to their fertility.
These buffs were permanent. I made me wonder what other types of buffs we could have gotten here if we had done something else first. All the new cyborg members of the Church of the Sky looked suddenly uncomfortable in that moment. They gave a slight shift to their hips. Even the 20 PEA units I sent to be paladins. Before I sent them, I put the sexual upgrades in. With 0 completed clan missions the should have a 0% chance of making a memory nanite chip. It must have be weird to feel it filling up with nanites of a different color without doing anything. On top of the useless black nanites that had no potency, they also had white ones now. It also worked for all of the PEP and AEP units. My fertility increased to 855. AEP units had a -850 debuff for pregnancy if they did not want to be pregnant. This meant I could impregnate AEP units that did not get the buff with 105% certainty as long as their sexual upgrade was full of genetic material. Those that did get the buff increased the fertility to 110 and the debuffs to 930. Our added fertility combined with 1 orgasm gave us 990. A 60% chance.
No wonder they were so uncomfortable. Their mechanical organs with finite capacity were now overflowing due to the blessing they had received. When the crowd had received our final blessing, we were dismissed. It was time for the newly wed couple to go to their new home and consummate the marriage. Outside the church, people were mingling with one another. This was another informal gathering of the coalition. Cameron and several of the AEP units went over to talk to the commandos and the researchers that they had befriended. Magnetic 04 was with Ursula as they talked to both members of her family and Magnetic Clan. It was a bit touch and go as there were some mutual negative sentiments between certain members. The couple was able to navigate it well. I made sure to stay out of their way. I did not want any of the members of his clan to challenge me to a fight on this very important day. It would ruin the joyful mood here. That was when I ran into the members of Volition Clan. The leader brought 01 and 03 here. I glared at them. "You can't be here. You're not invited." I said.
