Since moving on with a coalition was not up to me alone, I decided to check in on 10-003. He was still a Conqueror. We did not need leaks or sabotage to our clan happening here. Since he was part of Toxic Clan, he was off by himself. Even the other AEP units in the clan did not play with him. They did not like that he was pregnant with a human's baby. It was pretty cool in my opinion. With everything that had happened and his high level of evasiveness, I was not there for him when he had the baby. That was pretty sad. If he had asked me, I would have been there to help him. When I apologized to him, he scoffed and turned his face from me. "I don't need a human to guide me in anything. It was only a matter of expelling the low quality nanites and the human tissue." he said in a huff. I just looked at him. "You should praise yourself more. I think that it is a massive task. Humans need to have some assistance in order to ensure the mom and baby are okay. Doing this by yourself only proves you are as strong and beautiful as the day I met you." I said. 10-003 looked stunned.
He did not have a response. 10-003 looked down with a frown on his face. "You don't need to remind me. I am a nearly perfect being." he hissed. I pulled him into a hug to comfort him. 10-003 did not like that at all. "Unhand me, 10-003!" he demanded. I asked to see where our child was. He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know where that half breed is currently." he said dispassionately. I gave him a double take. "What do you mean you don't know? It's your child. Aren't you both lonely!?" I asked. He pushed me back by my chest. "I don't need to be coddled by other cyborgs. I would rather be killed than spend time doting on a lowly half breed!" he shouted. I had now heard enough. He wanted to mope around. "Where do you think they might be? There is a nice nursery here, but they can take any form they want." I asked. 10-003 had no clue. I sighed. Finding him would be a very big hassle. I had to scour the whole clan building. Going into every single room was annoying. He was not there. It meant I had to go into the apartments that we placed down for the human clerics and paladins.
There were a few new rooms being used from the last time I checked. Fighter, Battler, 10-003 and a "10-003a" had taken their own separate room. I had to go to where the directory said the offspring was living. Visiting was simple enough. I was an officer of the clan. There was no room I could not get inside. I had a master key and simply opened up the room. Walking in, I found a white haired boy sitting in a chair. He was scrolling away on a phone. "Hello. Are you the hybrid that 10-003 gave birth to?" I asked him. He looked up at me in confusion. As he put the phone down, his eyes scanned the room. Clearly, they wanted to do something about this weird situation they found themselves in. I decided to cut to the chase. "I just wanted to introduce myself. I am your biological father. As an officer of the clan, I have a master key to your room. I really wanted to meet you." I told him. It got him to get out of his chair. He was definitely curious. He quickly came over to me and put on his glasses. I said "Oh wow. Did 10-003 give you those!? It looks really cool." It was a pretty unique feature.
