Hooray! Due to my own negligence, their second egg hatched. I couldn’t pick it up since it was still growing and got distracted again.

RECEPTORS
89 15 0 Chi B MutDupCut Brain, Decision i/ps, Chemical 1, chem=Punishment, thresh=0, nom=0, gain=255, features=Analogue
The difference in this gene from the default is that here, the gene is effective once the creature becomes a child instead of during the embryonic stage. The gene is called “Punishment Reforct – Receptor” so my guess is that this gene controls whether Punishment creates a negative effect in the creature’s brain.
HALF-LIVES
1 1 0 Emb B MutDup WasteH2O 130
In the original genome, the half life of WasteH2O is 128 so here, the half-life -would- be slightly longer, except that the game will still leave the half-life at 5 hours since 130 isn’t recognized by the game.
INSTINCTS
134 4 0 Emb B MutDupCut Drive i/ps Boredom + (Lobe/Cell=0/0) + (Lobe/Cell=0/0) and I Push => 177*Punishment
Now, instead of being punished when he stands still, he’s punished when he either pushes something when he’s bored, or when I push him when he’s bored. I’m iffy on this one, but either way, I don’t know how I’m supposed to help him when he’s bored now.
When I was done checking on him, it was time to teach him the basics. I tended to his education and, when his father finally left him alone, I fed him some carrots and I got him to sleep. He got to sleep much more quickly than his parents did, that’s certain.
Before long, I saw that AppleJack was spending time with her little boy and, since he was a child now, I decided to introduce his sibling into the world, too.

LOBES
122 Different in File 1 7 0 Emb B Mut Lobe #= 8 Dendrite Type 0: Input Lobe=0, Min#=1, Max#=1, Spread=3, Fanout=2
Normally, Max is 3. I don’t know anything about Creatures brains so I don’t have much input. All I can gather is that the maximum number of connections is 1 here and that doesn’t give her brain much room to remove or create connections.
REACTIONS
73 15 0 Emb B MutDupCut 1*Hunger– + 1*Boredom => 1*Reward + 1*<NONE>; half-life = 8.
Normally, this chemical is Hunger. Now, Hunger Decrease and Boredom are converted to Reward. I think this means that she’ll always be hungry but she’ll never be bored. I don’t know whether she will want to eat or not since Hunger Decrease won’t actually decrease her hunger anymore. As long as she eats, she should be fine.
146 30 0 Emb B MutDup 1*Glucose + 2*Hexokinase => 4*CO2 + 1*NFP; half-life = 24.
Normally, instead of Need For Pleasure, this is none. Now, when she is producing energy she’s not just producing CO2, she’s also producing Need for Pleasure. I’m not sure how that translates and I can’t find much information on the wiki about how to decrease Need For Pleasure.
231 40 0 Emb B MutDupCut 2*Antigen5 + 1*Glucose => 1*Antibody5 + 1*Hotness; half-life = 88.
Normally, the half-life is 80. She gets this gene from her father. Since he didn’t get sick I don’t know whether this means she’ll recover slowly or not. If we’re lucky, she won’t get sick at all!
Once she was educated, I got her to eat some food and she decided to spend some time with her mom.
After they woke, it wasn’t long til they met up again. They started kissing right away and I got excited about having brand new baby norns from these two.
In just a few moments, AppleJack became an adult! When they saw each other, they kept kissing. One kisspop later… no pregnancy. They kept napping and kisspopping but I had limited success getting them to get pregnant.
Pregnant! Yay! It didn’t take long for this little egg to pop into Albion. I set it aside for later. AppleJack was pretty exhausted after giving birth and Patrick started to look for her again.
Little did I know what was about to happen! As I stoked the fire, AppleJack and Patrick got together again. I’d forgotten to pause the game and poof! Another little egg appeared! As it grew, AppleJack feasted on honey and it was time to call it a day.
I picked out an egg from the hatchery and put it into the incubator. Next thing I knew, this cute little boy was crawling right out of the house and into the garden.
He didn’t take long to start making a beeline for the herb garden. He complained that he was hot and I successfully talked him into eating some feverfew! Hooray for me! Unfortunately, it didn’t take him long to decide to eat the Pyrethium next to it. I was glad he had some starch but I wasn’t happy about the pain and hunger he must have felt after eating it. Neither was he. He stomped in front of the elevator and made his way below. While we were there, I decided to encourage him to play with the helicopter toy that was there and that seemed to cheer him right up.
Sadly, this grendel wasn’t particularly friendly. When they met, he started slapping poor Patrick! I slapped the Grendel for him and it didn’t take long for Patrick to obey “run Grendel”.
Meet AppleJack! Oddly, there were no mutations in her whatsoever! Good for her! I do appreciate that kind of genetic stability(appearance aside).
Patrick was sleeping! When he was done, he was so happy it was like I was dealing with a different norn! Look at that big happy smile!
It didn’t take long before there were Zs popping up through he submarine. When she woke, she decided to take a quick ride under the ocean to visit the island.
Soon, AppleJack was on the boat headed back home and I was done with the island for now. I checked on Patrick again to find him in the Garden, getting ready for a nap. He ate a carrot, grabbed a lemon and fell asleep with it in his hands. I’m starting to think he’s a bit of a Mama’s boy. It wasn’t long til AppleJack needed a nap. Like last time, I tried to give her some space to fall asleep. I checked on Patrick to find that he was sleeping again! He’s developed a real love for naps. When he woke up, I gave him a toy to play with and went back to AppleJack. Whatever it was she was looking for, she decided sleep would have to wait til she found it.
