As soon as it went off, things got really quiet. All of the androids, PEPs, and PEAs immediately died. They fell over and that was the end of them. The range of their EMP seemed to be the whole lot that we were fighting in. It was a pretty good range in my opinion. As we were all in the lot at the time, the 2 AEP units were both effected as well. Both of them stumbled around, very disoriented. It was as if they had a confusion debuff. Since all the humans were still up, they all turned on us. We were not part of their syndicate after all. All of the Exterminus members near them began shooting at the AEP units. The Electric Clan AEP unit seemed really scared and tried to run. I thought that it might pose a problem if he got away without us questioning him about his clan or their plans in Sonic Clan territory. Thankfully, his legs were too stiff. That was due to the nanites on the outer layers of his body were offline and rigidly stuck to him. He banged at his legs with his fists and the dead nanites flaked off of him. It would provide an amazing sample for both the hostile syndicates and the military.
Possessing that hardened nanite shell could boost research and development of how to more effectively combat AEP units going forward. I saw the AEP unit run. 11-002 was also in bad shape. I ran up to him and picked him up. I put my hands up said "Wait a minute! Let's call a truce. This is one of the AEPs from Sonic Clan. That one was from Electric Clan. We can team up to take him out first." There was a brief pause from them. "Why are you humans helping a 'borg then!?" one of them demanded from behind cover. I just took a deep breath and said "We're from Sixteenth Notes Clan. We were the ones that helped pacify the rest of the continent by making all of the Advocate faction cyborgs submit to the authority of the government and then help us take out 2 of the Conquer faction clans. You must have heard of us on the news." We were a famous music studio with tons of popular success. They obviously knew us. Several of them began to slowly come out of hiding. I said "Let's get that evil Conqueror scum!" They cheered in agreement as we followed where he ran to.
Following him was not all that hard. He was stumbling and not able to do much of anything. When it came to 06-003, he was right next to it when the mini-EMP went off. I bet that more layers of his nanites were effected. He apparently was not even able to move or speak when he was under its effects. This was good data to keep in mind for later. 11-002 was riding on my back. He still looked pretty out of it. I could hear him mumble something about rebooting. That was totally fine. It was probably going to be even quicker than when 06-003 was rebooting to rid him self of the effects the mini-EMP caused him. The Electric Clan AEP unit was hiding behind a wall we all saw him duck behind. I just sighed. "He's dazed and confused from that mini-EMP we set off. What do we want to do now? Go in guns blazing?" I asked the members of the syndicate. The leader had a walkie-talkie. "It's always good to keep an analog back up in case something fucks up." he said. He was able to send a squad of 4 androids to come to our location in an all blacked out truck. They then received their orders.
