Pregnancy is a bitch or: da bitch be pregnant

The human "Lauren" is pregnant.

Jix and Lauren have both assured me it's not another parasite. I have to say: I'm kind of relieved that they told me because I'm sure they'd both be crying if I did the same thing to whatever came out of Jix. I'm also kind of bummed out. I haven't had the chance to kill anything in a while...unless you count The Planet Thief, but I don't because he came back and I got my old body all destroyed and everything.

So from what I understand, there's a smaller human growing inside of Lauren's stomach. I'm not sure how it got there or where it's coming out, but it scares the living hell out of me. First off: Lauren is scary. Anything coming out of her must be scary, too...assuming it's sentient. I can't imagine poo being all that scary.

None of this is hygienic, which is why I'm glad I'm not biological and why I'm glad I'm completely sealed off. Dyona and some of the older android bodies aren't completely sealed and they tend to get some dust and such in them.

Don't tell her, though, she'll want a new body, too.

Androids are more efficient, though: we're built in a clean factory. There are no slimy, bloody bits in us (unless we ate a biological creature or unless you happen to be a cyborg...not sure what the difference is...) and we certainly don't get moody when we replicate.

Okay...I got a little blood on the floor, but she didn't have to yell at me. She might have been a little nicer if it wasn't her blood, but I still blame her rant on her pregnancy. Reason is...she started crying after that.

I've been told my old owner is pregnant, too, but I don't remember my old owner very well. I seem to remember a gold plated bounty hunter, but beyond that is damaged data that didn't fully transfer over. If memory serves (and it usually doesn't), the bounty hunter was a guy. I know Ambis physiology (enough to dissect one properly, anyway) and I know the males aren't the ones that carry the baby...or lay the eggs...hmm...can't remember which. Do Ambis lay eggs? Anyway, I'm not entirely sure how my old owner is "with child" as I'm fairly certain my last owner was male.

By the way, I've noticed these lumps on Lauren's chest before, but they were never this big and since her pregnancy, they seem to have gotten bigger. I think she may have chest tumors...except...other female humans seem to have them, too, but not female Ambis.

I have noticed the human Paul staring at them quite intensely at times, but not so much that he's afraid of them as he's either curious or very interested in them. Maybe female humans are supposed to have tumors in their chests.
