Fighting with them was useless. This was simply how they were programmed. 01 and 09-003 really valued dominance. Conquest was the ideal state of being for them. It was why the faction name was the way it was. I knew for a fact that this the first and only real win that any member of the Conqueror faction had. Raining on their parade would be a shitty thing to do. Finally breaking the siege over the Heat Clan, we were heroes yet again. It felt good to do great things in the game. I pulled 01 into a huge hug. "01! This is really amazing. 02 might be bringing the Progenitors here, but you are actually a veteran. I can't really say which one is better, but I'm proud that both of you are my friends." I told him. That was not a lie. His eyes went wide. "Do you really mean that?" he asked. I just looked at him. "Have I ever made you feel like I didn't value you as a friend?" I replied. He shook his head before shoving me away. "All of your human emotions are so confusing! How am I supposed to keep up with all the nonsense you say!? You think that room full of boulders is an actual garden." he pouted.
I left it at that. Heat Clan came by to see what was going on. Liam was not very happy with me. "When you said you needed help, I did not think you would go to war with the military." he said. I had to apologize. "I know. I was a bit sneaky. I really did need their help. We had a fun time out and then we had to fight. They really are brave." I said. Hunter was looking over them. Marco, Polo and Angelo were really happy to show the clothes they got from me. They also got names. Hunter seemed pleased with the report. So did the clan leadership. All 3 of them were still in my party. I was going to bring them all to the PBJ Clan in order to give them the weapons and sexual upgrades. The members were young, but they did well. This would also help them with their ability to stand on their own. The clan could use some muscle. Hunter and all the others just got shoved around when aggressive syndicates harassed them. It was not cool. The idea behind was that I could get them to be bred with AEA units. So far, there was only 1; it was a Conqueror. Having them all be Advocates would be so nice.
Getting upgrades was great. It was not hard at all for me to convince the 3 of them to come with back with us. There were 6 of us now. There were only 4 doors in the cab. They were not willing to get in together. 01 drove us here. That meant that it was time for 09-003 to drive us home. 01 could ride shotgun in the front. The AEP units from Heat Clan and I were going to need to squeeze into the back seat. This was a challenge. The NPCs only recognized 2 slots to fill. I made sure my clanmates got in first. The last thing I wanted to deal with was their bitching and moaning. If they were not in the car first, I was not confident that I could get them in if they were the last ones outside of the car. I looked at Marco, Polo and Angelo sternly. "You guys are all going to have to trust me. Do you trust me?" I said. All 3 of them vigorously nodded their heads. I opened one of the doors, I looked at Marco and told him to slide down all the way to the other door. He did so without a problem. I then got in and slide to the middle. Marco looked at me like I grew another head on my neck. It was almost funny.
