Olga quickly became pregnant again with one of Adelphos’ babies. It was clear that Adelphos was going to be one of the most successful fathers in the run, especially given his head-start.
Young Drake was more interested in finding neat places to nap. He visited every place reachable by an Offline Portal and before long, he found his way back to the Meso, where he ate carrots and rested.
Synergy and Adelphos were kisspopping above, at the top level of the Meso. Olga and Chang tried to join the pair but perhaps Olga had too recently become pregnant and was still recovering from laying her egg.
Drake managed to get away from the others again and this time, when he’d traveled, he complained of loneliness. I tried to encourage him to push the portal but we didn’t get back to the Meso. I decided to see if he could make his way back on his own, since my interference didn’t seem to be helping.
Eventually, he did and just as he did, Synergy became pregnant again. This time, Chang was the father! It’s good to see the gene pool getting some diversity already. Next, before Synergy had the opportunity to lay her own egg, Olga was pregnant with another of Chang’s.
Next, Andromeda was brought in. Thank goodness it’s a girl!
I was starting to worry that we’d only have boys for a while then only Synergy and Olga would get to breed til the end. Speaking of, Synergy became pregnant with Adelphos again.
Olga wasn’t especially kind to the new lady but a quick smack on the butt and “push norn” was enough to encourage her to play nice. Soon enough, though, Olga played nice with Adelphos and another egg was on the way. Goodness! These girls are in a rush to get all their genes well established for the second Generation. When Synergy got pregnant again, I opted to take the honorable way out and stop reporting on pregnancies here.
About four more eggs later, it was finally time to introduce the next norn. Meet Daedalus, another male, and quite a handsome one at that!
While he got acquainted with some of the others, I decided to make my rounds and found Andromeda exploring the medical bay and Drake eating apples in the Norn Terrarium. I was a little puzzled to see just him in there, especially given how hospitable that particular area was. Then again, Chang, Adelphos, Spike, Olga and Synergy were all probably perfectly content to eat Bouncing Plums and mingle with each other. Maybe, with any luck, they’d start to spread out a little?
