Skyfall walked slightly back, she looked towards Moonfall and gave him her happy smile. "Yes, we have arrived back at the surface. I guess we should start to take a look around and maybe even start to procriate and create more Numbers... We are quite short on personnel, I believe." Skyfall said, smiling once more. Though what she said was truth, it was more aimed at him than her, since she herself didn't knew much about how to procriate their existence... Seeing that the only person she believed to be her pair apparently died by the hands of humans. Scarecrow was killed before she was able to save him... Even if she was able to. "So, I believe that you and Reaver should start coupling right away. That way, the results are going to be faster." Reaver stared at Skyfall and didn't say a word. She wasn't even going to waste her time revolting herself about her jokes in the crucial moment. "Shut up, Skyfall. We don't have time for this. If Blood Dreamer is going out, we better get there quickly so we can follow her." Reaver said before they turned their attention back to Yoshio, who had Yuume stuck on his right arm, carefully glaring at Reaver. Reaver's smirk appeared but she immediatly shut up as she heard Skyfall speak.
"Well, even if we did bring more Numbers, it wouldn't work quite well, since it would be able to see us coming. It is hard to find a good number to face an Overmind, seeing it's capabilities of controlling Numbers. If we bring too many people, it will just sense us and run away. However, if we bring a low ammount of people, like 50 Numbers, it will dominate all of us with easy. So, we need to find a number between one that they are not able to sense and one that they aren't able to dominate with ease and cause them to overload. Understand?" Skyfall explained, finishing with a wink and then continuing on their way towards the Underground Base. She planned to arrive rather quickly and leave quickly as well.
In a side of the group, Reaver spoke once more. "You know... I wouldn't mind reproducing if it was with people like the boy over there... Or his father. Blood Dreamer's lucky to be able to reproduce with a strong human, since she created these two. They are quite something, don't you think, Moon and Sky?" Reaver questioned. "What are you talking about? It's not like that, Reaver... Of course, we should find strong genes in order to reproduce... A gene that is able to sustain Number Powers. Humans are hard ones to find, since most of the times it is better to do so with your Number Pair..." Skyfall mumbled as she thought about which one was better, humans or Numbers. In truth, reproduction Number with Number was a lot easier than Number/Human reproduction. However, it was also a lot of impersonal. The Number would usually stay with the motherly unit and then it would be raised by her as well, thus never having a family. After it reached a certain age, the motherly unit was to abandon the child and resume her activities before getting pregnate. In a short explanation... Human/Number reproduction was highly unnatural but very safe for the child, having her creating her own personality and having a normal human life. Number/Number reproduction was highly possible and much more safer than Human/Number, thus being safe for the child but not psychologically safe, results usually being a twisted and insane Number, with nothing but rage in their life... At least until they became adults. Either way, it was a rather difficult topic to discuss. Some Numbers suggested that reproduction with both Numbers should be more similar with Human methods... The other half discusses against this decision and believes that the method currently used is better, creating a massive discussion that usually meets no ends. |
