We had to figure something out. I floated the ideal of a PTSD recovery program to help those who had been traumatized in the line of duty. Like I thought, they were all for it. "We can open some abandoned buildings in the region with that purpose. Giving the PEP units still on the streets a purpose would be something that will benefit us as well." their treasurer said. "Maybe all the other Advocate faction clans can do the same. Apparently the rank and file soldiers don't have PTSD recovery as part of their healthcare plans." I added. Giving the humans and cyborgs more reasons to help each other would be good for cohesion. "That might be something that we could do for our allies." the leader said with a nod. I then turned the attention to the mini EMP they used on 06-003. I said "This is going to be a problem. We need Advocates to know of this and begin searching for countermeasures or we'll be on the back foot. We don't even know if it effects PEP and PEA units." They agreed that something should be done. They were also skeptical a solution would come quickly. I just sighed out loud.
Finding a way around this needed to be a priority. It looked like I was going to be the one that rallied everyone and took charge. "Listen. Everyone else needs to know. If I call up Radiation Clan, can you call Void Clan? They do not like me much." I asked the officers. They agreed to do so. "Great. Let's make sure that this does not happen again." the clan engineer of Wind Clan said. I smiled before hanging up. I then called up Radiation Clan. It took a minute before their clan engineer could respond. I told them the news of what happened to 06-003. They were extremely concerned about an AEP unit being so easily dispatched with. "That sounds awful. Has 06-003 been recovered!? Are they alright!?" were their first questions. I said "Yes. We need all Advocate faction clans to be looking into solutions to this threat. I will call up Water Clan next. You should call Pierce Clan. We need to let them know what happened." They agreed and we hung up. I called up Water Clan. 05-002 was with the clan engineer. I did not ask questions. I told them the news. 05-002 was really distressed by all this.
Major Idovelli forbid me from calling Sonic or Impact clans. He did not trust the Researcher faction clans and he wanted them gone. I was not going to disobey him while he was right in front of me. There was something to this order as well. We did not want the tech to leak to the Conquerors. We actually wanted them to be neutralized by the mini EMP. Using it on them would make taking their transmission hubs even easier. They only had 4 left. The last ones were Heat, Electric, Erosion and Toxic Clans. I would not mind doing a major purge on the faction all at once. There would be one kink in the plan. It was Hunter and Jake. They were family. He would no doubt try to interfere with any operation against Erosion Clan. I could not blame him. I probably would do the same. Major Idovelli and Major Watts would not be pleased to hear this suspicion of mine. The others might kill him. That was not acceptable. The less we were able to spread this information, the less likely it would leak. If Hunter told Jake, all of the Conquerors would know it. Jake was a treasurer of Erosion Clan. Not good.
