The time to stop this charade had finally arrived. He was trying to fix the nanites making up his jacket, but it was no use. They were dead. He would have to purge them and replace them with new ones. It would have to be done on his own time. I was not going to wait for that. "Listen up. I'm done playing with you. You only have 2 real choices here: leave now or die here. What's it going to be!?" I said. "After all you've put me through, I'm not leaving! I'm not going to be gentle subduing you. Don't expect me to be gentle extracting your semen either!" he shouted. He went hostile. I had to use my magic and my cheat rifle on him. Even his golden nanite armor was not enough here. The surly, rude AEP unit was soon reduced to primordial form. That was to be expected. His AEP organ allowed him to clone himself, but those clones had half the health of the original. Once the AEP unit went down for the count, the clones all disappeared. I was not going to show any mercy to this asshole. I obliterated him with big pillars of flame. With all that finally done, I could go back to the clan building.
Eventually, I returned to everyone. Ryder came over to me. I smiled at him and he returned. "Brianne! Let's spend some time together." I shrugged my shoulders. "Sure. I have to check the replicators in the labs." I told him. The heat AEP organs were important assets. "Why!?" he asked me. "I have some stuff inside them." I answered. He nodded and followed me down there. I got the organs and put them back in the 3 replicators. I now had one in my inventory and another 3 on the way. Tomorrow, I would have 7 of them. I looked at Ryder and asked what he wanted to do. He gave me a sly smirk. "Let's go somewhere and fuck. I've missed you." he said. Ryder had always had a high affinity for me. I could tell that he was genuinely into me. There was no reason to fake any attraction. He had his sexual upgrade. He had an X-frame. He sired a PEA unit. He also gave birth to a AEP unit. Ryder had everything that he could possibly have already. I was the clan engineer, but I was liberal with giving out things they would need. We had infinite resources. He could just take whatever he wanted.
Very clearly, he wanted me because of something that he saw in me. I had no clue what that was though. I could certainly deal with that. Asking him was not something that I wanted to do. They as a race were very manipulative in the pursuit of their ultimate goals. I honestly could not fully believe anything that he would say. Even if it did flatter me, it might not be the truth. I did have an idea though. "Hey. How about you get your X-frame!? I'll fuck you in it." He raised an eyebrow. "You want me to give birth to a half breed? I don't know about that." he said out loud. That was fine. "That's okay then. You can go and hang out. I have some other things to do." I said. Ryder did not like that. "Wait a minute! I don't mean to say that I don't want to have children with you. Sunny and Lucy have children with you and they are strong. Both Shepard and Alexei are also pretty competent as well." he said quickly. It was something that was self evident. My children's strength spoke for themselves. He could have one too. It would mean being in the radioactive X-frame for 9 weeks straight to incubate.
