Chapter 16. Holding out for a home life
Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.
Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.
[Hastily added in.]
Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...

Ah a place where airplanes take off and land. An airplane is like a bus only it flies...Oh wait you don't know what a bus is do you? Look never mind we'll get back to that later.
How can we not have enough manpower? People die all the time! Ya think that would be the one business that's hopping!
Look I don't want to wreak your home life just because Derrick and I didn't think this through.

A flying boat, perhaps? So an airport would be a dock, or depot for airships?
People die, yes. That's one reason why there are not that many of us who are capable enough to fight and protect. They disappear. We're limited. Watch patrols most areas, and Guard watches the hatchery. There isn't a Watch/Guard in every home unless you have one for a roommate. Youth and I are doubled up here, so you can have one of us.
The kid doesn't want me in his dad's bed anyway.
he misses his tribbles
Ah...that'll work.
Honestly. Do you think this is a trap? Because the more rational part of me thinks it's quite elaborate to go through all these steps to get to me, Derrick and Fred.
Screw the kid. He'll adapt. He's not a baby, he doesn't need Youth with him every minute of the day. You two should be happy. Lord knows there's not a lot of chances for that around here.
poor thing
Not for you three specifically, no. There is, presumably, some reason predating the ninja to explain why we need Guards to protect the hatchery guides, and there is something unnerving about isolating the guides in their own sector, but no, I don't think it's some elaborate scheme targeting you, Derrick and Fred specifically.
You don't live with them. And I think you overestimate our ability to be "happy".
and by sister i meant daughter
Well logically it's a pretty important position considering if someone were to destroy the cocoons then this place would have no way to replenish it's victims. I think the Guards are there just as much for the unborn as the Greeters.
The honeymoon period ended already? Just send the kid out with Derrick sometime. The guy misses his daughter and the kid needs someone to pay attention to him. Match made in heaven if you ask me.
of course. they are so easy to confuse.
Yes, I know that.[A pause in the writing and a pentap]Never mind.
We had a honeymoon? I must have missed that vacation getaway. Though I guess, suite or no, we did manage to fit in the sex.
I don't want Youth to neglect his own kid on my behalf, Genius. But I'll see about having Derrick play sitter for a day or something.
