Cautiously optimistic, I approached him for a handshake. "Pleasure meeting you for real. I'm Brianne Terri." I said. He took my hand and shook it firmly. That was a good sign. Nicoletta, Henry and 2 others I did not know were there as well. We only had to wait half an hour before 13-002 teleported in the lobby with his clan's officers. He then popped out of existence to get 13-001. It was extremely important that we did not set off any alarms by letting the Magnetic Clan know that they were here. We then went up to the conference room together. The details of the contract were read out loud by our legal team. It was just a formality. Void Clan knew they had no ability to refuse anything in it. It was basically what we already knew. The government will guarantee their safety. They needed to cease all hostile actions against the government, accept the occupation of soldiers in the settlement and give insights on how transmission hubs work. Also, they were to totally disarm themselves and all their activities would need prior approval from the military officers stationed in their clan building.
It was the best that they could get. They agreed and signed it. We in Sixteenth Notes Clan were were happy with the result. "Congratulations. I'm sure this will be a very profitable partnership for everyone involved." I said. Henry rolled his eyes. Nicoletta said "Since all of this is finally over, can we get on with actually getting rid of the damn Conquerors now!? They have not stopped attacking us just because we've been busy making peace with all the damn Advocates." She was right. I smirked. "Don't worry. I know just what to do." I looked at Hunter and said "Go out and bring 12-001 in here." Major Watts frowned at me and asked "Why does the enemy need to be here?" I said "Because we're currently in a PEP clan in this region. All the cyborgs said they would mutiny if we were to directly attack Magnetic Clan. If they attack us, it is a different story. In order to target Magnetic Clan, we have to be the defenders in that conflict. Cold Clan could also be a good place to start, but none of us even know where their transmission hub is." "So we can't rely on you guys then?" Vinny asked.
Going back and forth with him was meaningless. "It means that we need to get the Magnetic Clan to attack first. Part of beating 12-001 the first time was for a big peace treaty. After killing the AEP units from both Heat and Cold clans, it made them super unpopular. They wanted to force us to bend the knee, but we refused. If we can send out 12-001 back to them with the knowledge of the partnership, They will start trying to kill us humans. That is when we can declare a war on them." I said. Hunter looked over at Major Watts. "Go. I want to see the piece of shit fucking around and killing my men anyways." he said with a wave. Hunter rushed out of the conference. It did not take 5 minutes before 12-001 could be heard berating and insulting Hunter. They entered the room and I could see that Hunter was bruised. "What happened to your face?" I asked him. 12-001 scoffed and said "This human thought I would allow a lowly being like him to touch me. I corrected him." "I just pat him on the shoulder to get his fucking attention!" Hunter whined. "I sensed you the second you left this room."
Definitely an overreaction. Then again, he was a Conqueror. "So, this is the enemy AEP unit? He looks a bit too pretty for someone killing all my men." Major Watts said darkly. 12-001 turned to him and saw the commandos. "If you were making deals with the government again, I'm going to torture all of you." the cyborg said. He had easily recognized the confident looking Frederica. Major Watts introduced himself. "Good. Once I kill you, this part of the continent will fall into chaos." He was about to go hostile when I got in front of him. "Read this." I said as I shoved a copy of our alliance with the government into his chest. He just skimmed it for a couple of seconds. I let him do so. His brain was a super computer. That was all he needed. He was furious. "How dare you! You were supposed to become our vassals! Not the guard dogs of some military men! I'm going to kill you all for this." I rolled my eyes. "You could not beat me. You could not beat Paul. I think you should go to your clan and report this now. They'll need all the help they can get." I said. He glared and then stomped off.
