As they had 4 new clans, Lightning Clan was very happy to accept the fealty of the new residents of the desert. We also gave them the sexual upgrades. Half of the clan members got the semen replicator. The other half got the x-womb. Clan Sparkle and Refresh had an even split of male and female cyborgs. That was a really easy matter to settle. Krista was fine with Noah and Shawn having x-wombs. While she liked it rough and dirty at times, she also liked long and romantic encounters. Having a semen replicator meant that they would be able to cum for real. That meant they could continue being helpful sex dolls that only needed to focus on her needs. If 2 had to be that way, she would rather have them in the role than the others. Ash and Jake could be rough but, if they came due to pleasure with her, she would view that more of a compliment. It was more because of how she had styled them when they started living together. Clan Shock had a similar issue. They were male PEPs. Timmy, Helia and Brandon were willing to take on the x-wombs. It was due to their temperaments.
Being the best meant that we could take detours like this. It did not change that we were in an amazing position. Because this was a confederacy, we could launch from our hanger at any time. Heat Clan had snubbed us, but all the best things for cyborgs came from our clan. No one could deny that. In the current situation, there were only 2 Researcher faction transmission hubs on the continent. Those were the Heat and Radiation hubs. There were just 3 Advocate faction transmission hubs here as well. The Lightning, Sonic and Void hubs would be naturally peaceful to all humans living there. Peaceful cyborgs were outnumbered by nonpeaceful ones. I was not too happy about that. The other 8 transmission hubs were controlled by the now dominant Conqueror faction. Among them were Wind and Magnetic Clans. We had them on our hit lists for what they had done to us. It was now the time to get our revenge on them for once and for all. We would start with Wind Clan. 06-001, 12-001 and 12-004 had betrayed us after we had spared them. It was over for them and their clans now.
It took several weeks to find where they were hiding their transmission hubs. It was all well and good. Us keeping a low profile lowered the heat on us. Doing the flashy demonstration raised a ton of questions. Questions that we really did not want to answer. The Conqueror faction clans that we allied with were demanding we give up all of our XX-frames. That was not going to happen. The Advocate faction clans already had a couple of blueprints that they were collectively researching. We gave all the blueprints to Radioactive Clan. We were tied to the hip. They still needed to gather the money and materials though. Vassalizing clans would be a problem too. Because they all got wiped out initially, the PEP units in the region formed their own clans and living arrangements. Since they were older and more established in the region, the other clans saw no need to come swear fealty. It was something they would need to work on. They were much too far to make the trek over there. Besides, it was not actually clear that the Progenitors they would summon would be friendly to humans.
