Looking between them, Brett smiled wide. "Are you scared that you can't please a human in bed?" he teased. 07-005 just looked at him. "She can't possibly please me without a sexual upgrade installed in me. There really is no point mating with a pet from my point of view. Any half breeds we had would be immediately culled." he said. I rolled my eyes at that statement. The jab did not phase him at all. They wanted to kill all of the humans. "When you get that upgrade installed, I'll be there to help you test it out." the young woman said. He turned back to her. "What makes you think you would be worthy of that honor. Obviously, I would be paired with another AEP unit. The mating would result in an even more perfect being on this wretched continent. You obviously cannot compare with that!?" he scolded her. For the very first time, we saw her look disappointed. "And what about you!? Are you going to carry the baby inside of you!?" Brett pressed him. 07-005 looked confused. "If my clan leaders wish for me to sire, I will. If I am to conceive, I will." he said before adding "I would prefer to sire."
07-005 had a preference when it came to parenting the AEA units. It did not really matter at the end of the day though. He would serve whatever role the leadership of his clan assigned to him. The young woman was still a bit put off by the fact that he actually hated her. Every single thing that marked her as a human was a vector for scorn from her supposed protector. She obviously wanted to share herself with the one that had rescued her. Her body was all that she had to give him. There was nothing left for her in this world. She had always been poor. There was not money that she could give him. There was nothing she could buy to aid him. She had no family. There was no connections that she could take advantage of to help 07-005's cause. It was a really sad situation that she found herself. She had found his favor in some limited capacity. The Conqueror had not slaughtered her yet. As a member of the Electric Clan, that was something on the table. Being nothing but the pet of a hyper intelligent cyborg was not a life worth living. "Fivey..." she trailed off in a whine. He ignored her.
Doing something about it would be really difficult now. It was not like the young woman was a massively deadly commando. If she was, she might have been able to get, at the very least, a gain in respect from the AEP unit. The things that all AEP units respected were strength and intelligence. Researcher faction AEPs were driven to seek out knowledge in this world. Speaking to and learning from humans helped with that goal. Advocates wanted to achieve bonds with humans. Once again, open and honest communication proved that each side had something worthwhile to bring to the table. Conquerors were different. They had a different idea entirely. Humans as a whole were totally beneath them. It would be silly for someone to try and learn something meaningful from an idiot. They would seek out their highly coveted strength and intelligence among themselves and by observing the world that they wanted to dominate for their Progenitors. 07-005 did not strike me as a violent person. He would kill without remorse if ordered. Brett asked them for a photo together. They posed for it.
