Let’s start things off without being too boring this time. This is Rachael. She is the daughter of Scandalous Laborer and Lowly Adjustment. She’s just adorable, and she didn’t give me a headache when it came to the HLM.
When she’d pressed it, though, she ran off, stood in front of the lift and just… stared at the robot toy. I asked her to express and she said “get toy”. She picked it up, held it in her hand and rested for a while. She pushed the toy every once in a while and expressed her needs only occassionally. Whenever she saw me, though she always said “me love mom”. She spent most of her time napping and is just as obedient as the other kids. I can’t wait for them all to become stubborn adults and teenagers. 9_9
While Rachel rested, I brought in Mary, daughter of Five Cheese and Lowly Adjustment. She was also pretty quick to press the HLM but spent a little while riding the elevator up and down. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was bored. I gave her a toy and watched her alternate between resting and pushing the robot.
Every once in a while the Popping Pappus would fire and she’d stop whatever she was doing to watch the seeds drift down. Below, Rachael ate tuba plants and pappus seeds.
Soon, it was time for another little one.
Well. Someone had to blink for their photo eventually. Meet Timber. He’s the son of Sour Drink and Loving Wren, though, if not for that tail, you’d never guess who his father was!
I couldn’t spend too long with him, though! Rachael was now a child so I let her join the others in the Norn Terrarium and returned to my two babies.
Soon, Mary was a child, too. While she slept, I carried her off and then it was one on one time with Timber.
I encouraged Timber to nap and eat seeds and he did what he was told. He got a little button happy but that was cured with another quick spank. Naturally, the peace couldn’t be perfect for too long.
I got a notification from the medical monitor. 1 Bacteria had infested Rachael. I carried her off to the medical bay where I’d set up an automatic disinfectant station. I put her into the containment unit and turned on the chemical grapher.
She had Antigen 0 in her body and she soon had Histamine B. She was fed some cough medicine and the Histamine B was soon gone. It didn’t take much, but she was finally returned to normal, though the medical monitor was still flashing.
I felt most bad for Timber who was left alone while I tended to Rachael. He soon became a child and joined the others.
I was happy with this mix. So far, we have 3 boys and 3 girls and none of them seems to have a problem, health, behavior or genetics wise.
Hopefully, we’ll have the same luck tomorrow when we introduce the next group of babies.
First is Geoff. His mother is Scandalous Laborer and his father is Lowly Adjustment. Normally, I would analyze his genes, but GeneCompare is still crashing on me. I would just use DDNA Analyzer again but it causes more problems than it fixes. I can only hope any problems work themselves out in the meantime.
This is Hannah, daughter of Five Cheese and Uptight Kettle. The only Bondi appearance genes she inherited were her arms from her mother! I think it looks quite nice, though. She was less stubborn about pushing the machine and also takes direction pretty well.
Still, I felt like I was starting things off right.
At 7 hours 37 minutes old, Five Cheese passed away, surrounded by everything she needed. I’d petted her and encouraged her to eat food and seeds, but she only laid there. She took a nap, woke up to say “me love mom” and then promptly passed away.
Eventually, she passed away, amongst the seeds she admired so much. She survived to 4 hours, 24 minutes of age and is survived by 2 eggs.
Before I could celebrate Five Cheese’s longevity, Tuatara, sadly, passed away. He was 3 hours, 49 minutes old. He is not survived by any eggs because of a genetic disorder that he shared with his sister, Wide-Eyed Payment. Bethany was nearby when he passed away so I know he didn’t die alone.
Bethany has returned to her favorite activity, watching seeds fall and sipping on Calm Balm. She spends a lot of time sleeping as a result of the potions, but she doesn’t seem as wracked with grief as when Gifted Waves passed away. At 3 hours, 5 minutes old, she was now Old but didn’t seem to be slowing down. I scooped her up and moved her to the Norn Meso. Here, she at least wouldn’t have to deal with mosquitoes. Not to mention a giant bottle of “Happy Juice” to keep her calm.
