2 Conqueror AEP units had been publicly executed by us. If Magnetic Clan was being complained at for not being able to control us, they were now borderline hated. As that was the case, they had to do something, That was why they were here. I guessed they had to do something about us. Obviously, they were both pretty wary. They did not want to be killed. "You can't go around killing AEP units. That's not right!" 12-002 said. 12-001 added "I guess you can kill the Advocate AEP units." That was not going to happen. I looked at them and said "They attacked us after crossing onto our territory. After we got them under control, we let them go back to their clans." We had a stare down for a bit before they left. Once that happened, we went back inside. It was just a waiting game until Lt. Frederica Galleon to get back to us. If she did, it would be a simple thing to go after these fuckers. There was not much that we could do until we got the deal. It made no sense to take out Magnetic Clan if the human government would simply rush in to arrest us. I was not going to risk my people for that.
Risk was only good if the reward was worth it. Frederica came back a few days later. She had a contract in hand. "Legal took a while to come through. Sign it and we can get this over with." she said once she slid it over to us at the table. We had recruited PEPs unit to come in and do the lawyering for us. Why not let a cyborg download all of the laws and work on contracts. Obviously, this was a legal team comprised of PEP units from each of our vassals. They poured over it all within 5 minutes and then made their revisions in red ink. We had told them all the things we had wanted before hand. Those were expunging any criminal records that we might have, diplomatic immunity for the future of our partnership, and an immunity for all our vassal clans. It seemed that they were willing to expunge the criminal records for me and Hunter as we had them. They were pissed off that they would have to go back to their legal department. The lieutenant sucked her teeth. "Don't expect a miracle here. After what that AEP unit did to us all, there might not be much warm fuzzy feelings for any 'borgs."
Just because she did not like all of the running back and forth did not mean we had to care. "I understand. We have to keep our people safe. Just like you have to do for your men. If legal can't give us what we want, they better give us the next best thing this round." I told her. Frederica only groaned as she rubbed at her temples. She snatched the papers back and left the music studio. It was only half an hour later that 12-001 and 12-002 came to us. I was annoyed having to deal with them. They had been watching us. Both of them know knew that we were talking to the government. I smirked when they demanded to know what we were talking about. They had not clue. It was because Hunter's cybersecurtiy was way too strong. Even for those AEP units to crack. Both of them wanted us to stop it. I looked at them and said "Not on your lives. We're not your vassals. You can't order us around. If I were you, I'd get Magnetic Clan to make a deal with us." 12-002 balked at being ordered around by a non cyborg. "You can't talk to us in that way!" 12-002 spat. He looked at his fellow AEP.
