Eventually, Susanna was pleased with all of our outfits. We went back to her home and then got dressed. We were dressed great for the occasion in my opinion. We then went to the funeral parlor for the wake. All of the cyborgs and I were there to offer support to the grieving family. None of us actually knew the one that had died. Hunter was his only son. Rodrick, his new son, Emmanuel and Susanna were also close family to him. Their mom was very close to the deceased. She was also in attendance today. None of the other siblings were going to attend. Even she was not going to the funeral. Corpos of status needed to maintain their appearances after all. She was risking the ire of her other siblings for this already. Susanna and Rodrick were risking more. They were going to attend the funeral. There were a ton of deep sighs and melancholy here. He had been loved and now he would be missed. We were there for the full event. Hunter's aunt was only there for half an hour. Everyone gave her the space to see him off for the last time. Then she had her drivers come and pick her up.
Really somber was the mood when I went to talk to Rodrick and Emmanuel. The hybrid child was named Richard. He had no clue what was going on, but it was clear to me from how he looked around the room that there was a really increased intelligence here. I thought that it was pretty cool. They were really happy to see Jake and his children. For some reason, Susanna was pretty cold to him. I could ask, but I was not that interested in this. We were outside the funeral parlor. Hunter was happy that he had Jake at his side. "I am sorry you all have had to experience this. I know your father was a warm and good human." he said. Susanna rolled her eyes. "You did not really ever know him. He was not at our house that often." she said. "Maybe, but my memory is perfect. I remember every second he was in my sight." he replied. Blue asked him if it was pleasant being owned by a human family. Jake looked at a tired Susanna. "PEP units should not be owned by humans. Susanna, would you let him free!?" She balked at him and said "He is my boy toy. I'm keeping him now." I knew it.
Looking at Jake, I pointed at him. "Don't you think that's a little bit hypocritical of you, Jake!? You're an officer in a Conqueror clan. Even if you don't want to kill humans in your care, your transmission hub still wants you to find a way to enslave all the humans in your region." I accused. All the AEP units glared at me. "Shut up!" 08-002 said in anger. "Nobody asked you to speak!" 08-003 spat. It was 08-001 that said "He said nothing wrong. All PEP units are stronger and smarter than humans. It's okay if we own you because we're better than you. You can't own us because it is wrong." I guess that was exactly what a Conqueror faction member would say. The humans did not like hearing that. They began to argue with the AEP units for a bit. I let it go on for a bit until I cleared my throat. "I know you did not choose to become a Conqueror, but fair is fair. We are humans. If you can enslave humans, Susanna can have a live in boyfriend." I said firmly. Jake did not look happy with that. Blue did not have much of dog in the fight. He had his treasure and his dick did still work when he topped her.
Before this, he was living on the street. Even if he would have said he preferred it to being owned, there was no doubt that it was a more dangerous lifestyle. Blue was a shirtless PEP unit in a town that had no love for cyborgs of any kind. He fine where he was now. We still had to go to the funeral in the morning. Susanna looked at us. I could see the open disgust in her eyes. "Our parents warned us not to look for you when you ran away. I can see why now. You aren't sleeping in my apartment." she told Jake. Rodrick looked remorseful. "Sorry guys. I gave up my extra room for Richard's crib." Emmanuel said "Hunter can stay with me. I got space for him." Well, that was 1 of us. Now there was 5 left to settle down. I looked at Rodrick. "Jake and his kids are cyborgs. They don't need to sleep. You can let them sit in your kitchen. Jake can charge in the living room." Rodrick looked at Jake and nodded his head. "That's true..." he trailed off. He clearly did not want to host the AEPs. He sighed and turned to them. "I don't want any funny business Got it?" he said. "I'll watch them." Jake said.
