He asked me where they were. I said "I can't tell you. They are my allies and I care about them." "Well, how the hell did they catch up on their own like that? Weren't you guys way ahead of them!?" he probed. I groaned over the phone. "They honey trapped me alright! Is that what you want to hear!?" I snapped. There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Are you telling me that we are now entering a space race with a faction of cyborgs that want to take over the continent from space... because you had to get your dick wet?" he asked with a malicious edge to his voice. I just went "Uh-huh." He gave me another pause. "Wow. You actually are an idiot. I was never sure until right now." he said. I took offense. "Hey! We have way more than them. As long as you don't get in our way with your bullshit, we can pool our resources to fight them off. You're lucky I told you about it. I could have just kept quiet to keep my own pride intact. Then after you fucked us over, the Conqueror sweep in out of nowhere and blow shit up. I haven't told the coalition about all this shit." I growled. "Uh-huh!" he said.
Since that was the case he pledged to hold back on his scheming for the month. That was a great help. All of the members of the coalition were getting ready. Shepard came to me during that time. He was smiling even though he was coughing up blood. Alexei was with him. His chest was puffed out even though he was bleeding all on the floor. Alexei had just finished up his 16th mission. Shepard was with him on it. That was why they were so injured now. It was nothing for me to heal both of them with my magic. They really appreciated it. "Our leader said that we could come to you. I don't need to install a sexual upgrade. Mine are human. But the semen was clear with no sperm. When I finished the 15th mission, my balls dropped and I began producing sperm cells. They were white." I was his father so I was invested in him being healthy and happy. Now that he was fine. I asked him to try masturbating now. I cleared the PEA lab so that he could have his privacy. He was making more white sperm cells. I had a theory. He probably would have the same color scheme as all other PEA units.
Alexei was my son. I still had to ask Niko to borrow him for doing tasks for me as he was his clan leader. He only gave me a week. Niko still did not trust me. Poaching all my children from Clan Re:Birth was not what I was after here. I would have done it already if I wanted. That caution was fine with me. When everyone was converting to the Church of the Sky, I had all my kids convert. Shepard and Alexei too. They attended the wedding with Niko as invited guests. They were also part of the coalition as they were within Cold Clan's territory. They got the fertility bonus. In that single week, we ran both him and Shepard through all the weekly tasks I gave the PEA units in my clan. That was a good 13 missions. He was now up to 29 completed mission. Rearranging the 2 gardens in the clan building were 2 missions. Giving me inventory of all things in the labs was valid as I was clan engineer. That was another 3. I also had them walk around the town for "reconnaissance". I put them in Micropolis too. I then had them buy and send coffee and donuts to Finian and Erin. That was more big missions.
