They did not like how he was the offspring of a Conqueror AEP unit. That was not something that Kyle could control at all. I ended up scolding them. They did not change their minds about it. The warm welcome that I had been seeking came from the humans of the clan. Paul, Brett and Mason thought that he was cool. They all wanted to know what he could do. Kyle had no trouble showing them. Being bullet proof was something that they liked. The white senbon was also really cool. Kyle's AEP ego was stroked and he puffed out his chest. He really liked being praised by us all. It was fine with me. 10-003 left him in some random apartment room for weeks. At least he had a phone with him. That had to have come from 10-003. When I asked him what it was he was doing when I found him, he pulled out his phone. He was scrolling up and down social media. Mason looked at it and blinked. "I know that handle! We are already friends, Kyle." he exclaimed. He showed him his social media. Kyle hugged him. Mason flinched from the suddenness and pressure. Mason was not hurt though.
It was up to us to decide on it now. There was another town nearby called Micropolis. It was modeled off of the mega cities, but a 1/10th the scale. I told them that I would get a shell clan off of the ground. That was the first step to getting in a confederation. Brett came with me. He would have to give them a new clan building. Paul said "We have PEA units not doing anything. All they do is wait around in the lab and train for nothing. I'll just get some of them together. They can be a gas station on the road going to Volta City or something. Maybe we can get another clan going the opposite way too." That sounded like a plan. We left right away. We made our way to the town and easily found a group of PEP units being listless. They were pretty low tier judging from the shabby clothes they were wearing. The first thing we did was give them upgrades, some new clothes and better guns. That made them want to listen to us longer. Brett gave them a juice bar in an alley. Under it was a small clan building with a main hall and trading hub. We called them Clan Star. We found another group of PEPs.
Finding a vacant lot in the residential district, Brett put down a decent sized pub. With the upgrades and the equipment, they could recruit other members on their own. It would work itself out. They were Clan Pub. Since they were all males, they could not just fuck right away and start making PEA units. All the units in Clan Star were male as well. The clans would have to recruit females and get them the sexual upgrade they needed. It turned out that some of the members of Clan Beer were on a mission when we found them. They were supposed to be breaking out a pair of PEP units that got caught by scrappers. Hopefully at least one of them would be a female. We decided to go with them. If they failed and died, that would only set us back. When we got to the place where they were, we saw that they were both females. The nasty scrappers were horny guys and were currently using them for a round of sex. They were fine with it. They could not feel anything that the men did, they could not get pregnant, and it would stall for time. We cleared out the den. They joined Clan Pub.
