Month of The Alder Tree:
This tree protects you during troubled times, and helps you focus on the real problems, when false issues will disillusion you. People that are born in this month are known for rebuilding themselves after every defeat.
I’ve been working several months on a robot without a purpose. It was going to be a science fair project, but I never thought of what it would do. It was massive and near completion… the robot could fly, it had extendable arms and claws, and it looked like an electronic notepad. I decided I would use it as a means for force. Lillian was getting larger, even though it’s been over a year since I gave her growth hormones. I decided that if any of my experiments became too large or dangerous, this machine would be here to protect us. Especially if I’m going to make a child, I want it to be safe, but if it grows out of control like Lillian, I have to be ready. The machine might not be done until after the child is “born”, but I hope I will never have to use it that way.
The day finally came when I told Yuaad about the artificial life I planned to create, using my genetics, and those of our pet lobster Lillian. She laughed at first, but then we had a long discussion about it, and she didn’t seem completely happy with the idea. But she knew I was here to work, and she accepted my plan. I was worried about becoming less close with Yuaad, because it seemed like I was having an artificial child with someone, and she wasn’t a part of it. I think she felt distanced from me too. I didn’t see her the day after, and as days went on I saw less of her.
I didn’t want to be cold, but if I didn’t start this child today, I would have to restart the whole process. What if the next samples I took said Lillian and I weren’t a match? I’d die on the spot, well, after kicking myself over the lost opportunity. I worked all night, and by sunrise, this… tiny round structure was complete. It would grow and hatch like a normal dinosaur egg, in about two months.
I fell asleep by noon, and into the night. When I woke up, I heard someone breathing in the lab. My heart jumped out of my body. The child was already breathi-no. It was Yuaad. She looked back at me, and then went back to staring at the egg.
I could tell, she definitely felt left out of my project with Lillian. The three of us were close friends, and we had a child without Yuaad. I was completely guilty. I really felt closer to Yuaad than I did with Lillian, because we could interact on an intelligent level. That probably made it even more confusing for her. I chose a pet over her. That’s… insulting.
So… I held her on the lab floor, and we talked more, both watching the egg. I thought about it, and what would be even better than making something with a partially intelligent creature, would be creating a child from two intelligent creatures. A completely intelligent artificial life form.
“I want to have an egg with you,” I decided. “It’s not out of guilt, and it’s not just a project.” I really didn’t think she would believe me, but I was being honest. I did feel guilt, and I didn’t realize I could take the experimental possibilities further by allowing her to join. But that wasn’t the motivation. Whether she was considered an intelligent creature or not, I wanted her to be a part of this because of how close I felt with her.
She took her hand and placed it on my nose. I only felt two of her fingers resting on it.
We talked and fell asleep together. After waking up the next day, I got to work. I took several samples of her DNA and my own, looking for a match. I couldn’t find any. I was frustrated. I wanted to have a child with her, but I couldn’t find anything from what I took. Because of the process, there was hope in every sample, even if it was the same DNA each time, it’s what the sample is from that makes the connection. I even took a bit of my scale and her skin, and it did nothing. Yuaad was a mammal, unlike Lillian or I. I couldn’t believe I totally overlooked that fact. It… was most likely impossible that we could reproduce a match.
I told Yuaad about the failure. I could still take samples from bone… as risky as it was. But… Yuaad had a different idea. She sat up on the table, and pointed down to her belly. It took a little while for me to understand where she thought I should take the sample from. Part of what made me think of her as an animal was the fact that she didn’t wear clothes. Clothes weren’t necessary, but most modern creatures complied with the idea of wearing them by this point in time. So… when I looked down to see where she was pointing, I kind of got the idea.
We were only obtaining sample material from her in a different place, not having intercourse. But it was still a very personal experience for us both. And… it’s nothing I would feel right documenting. It was between us.
After I had obtained genetic material from her, I almost began working on finding matches when she stopped me. She… said I should have to produce new genetic samples for my half too, in the same way that we had gotten hers. Her instincts were only natural, but I was hesitant. I’m not going into detail about that event either.
We both felt very different after that night, like we lost a piece of our innocence, despite what had actually done. I felt sick thinking of that change, but it brought me closer to Yuaad again. I was glad for it, especially once I realized her intuition was correct. At our core, we were able to find genetic matches, and could create an egg of our own.
It was another night spent working until sunrise. I had an easier time making this egg. Yuaad sat there the whole time watching me, looking silly in my lab coat. I even allowed her to do some of the simpler tasks, so she was directly involved with making our artificial child. I almost felt dizzy. I couldn’t believe how fast things went. It was only a month ago I realized I could make artificial children for myself. And here I was, with two on the way.
I had no idea what to expect.

Wow! Again, lots of complex and really well-thought-out motivations and emotions on both their parts, that fit the characters perfectly. You must observe yourself and others really well to be able to come up with such convincing stuff like that. X3 We're really seeing how Dr. Ama might be getting carried away by his tendency toward cold calculation and pursuit of science, even as it combats and interacts with his desire to do right by others. And from the way you describe it, I can really imagine how Yuaad would have felt left out when Dr. Ama decided to produce a child with Lillian, especially after she had already tried to propose something like that to him earlier. It's also really interesting how he feels somewhat conflicted again over what he's doing with her, both wanting to get closer but feeling like they're losing something. It makes me wonder how it would feel for them doing more ordinary things under more ordinary circumstances. And it's cute how he gives her his lab coat - and maybe even a little significant given the points about clothes? Ooh, and I really like that, unless I'm mistaken, we're seeing the origins of R4P3! :D Connections between the stories are fun to see.
As always, very cool pictures too! That's a really sweet scene with the doctor and Yuaad talking seriously to each other! :)

Hehe, I'm glad you'd say all that! X3 It's definitely fun portraying these different sorta personalities to this sorta length. :3 It's definitely not fun getting left out whenever other friends get all close, but luckily good friends can usually try to fix things up. (: And whenever you gain something you lose something too, even just with changing your relationship with someone, so even if it's what you want it can be kinda sad-different if it's not the same easy free friendship it was before.
And yup! (: I wanted to make sure to make a few connections to the Q&A stuff by the end of this sample-sized story, so we'll definitely get to hear a bit more on everyone, includin' the bigbot in the next/final one! :3

Wow.... What a story developement.... so well construct, Seeing Dr. Ama changing his plan about where to take the genetic material is really a twist in this story... or not, maybe because he love Yuaad, Or maybe it's like Bosky says (See comment up) or possibly it's a blend of all this. But I like how this story has show the complexities of the emotional part of your personnage Nishi.... Nice job li'l Hamster
This was quite a touching a meaningful section.
As was kind of hinted towards in the last section, Dr. Ama's first love for science definately came into play in a whole new light. Normally, I'd imagine, he'd not think twice about what he did with Lillian and his own DNA. However, the addition of a close relationship makes him question his priorities as, for as much as he loves science, the bond he has built with Yuaad has begun to mean almost just as much.
You really touched on an awesome point, too, when you brought up how Dr. Ama felt guilty and desired making Yuaad a part of his scientific endeavors. This is because, deep down, I believe everyone seeks acceptance for that special part of themselves from those closest to them. This desire brings a person to ever try to find new and interesting ways to bring those around them into that special world in which they have created around themselves.
If I may cite an example, my wife believes in my talents as a writer, but doesn't exactly enjoy the material in which I write about. This is because, at heart, she is more of a History / Biography / Human Experience fan. However, despite this fact, I cannot help but ever try to find ways to include her into my work for how much she means to me. Thus, along with growing as a writer, I strive to, one day, write something she not only is proud of me for doing, but also a work she actually looks forward to reading 100%. :)
Keep up the great work, Nishi. I look forward to the final sample of this amazing, emotional experience.

You're definitely right. (: When there's someone special around, it is kinda nice to see things a bit differently, or try something you hadn't thought of before it could be nice for both of you. Or at least you can get a better understanding of the other person this way, and try to find exactly where it is your interests with them can meet. (:
And hopefully one day you can get there with your wife too! Even if it's not what you're used to, and not what she's used to reading from you, it could be a really cool change, or at least bring a neat new sorta understanding out! :3
Anyway, thanks a bunch. X3 It's definitely fun getting into writing. (: Even if comics or plain pictures are easier for most people, I'm glad some of my pals can get something from these! (:
