[When K-2SO show in the screen he's holding a giant white egg, head tilted. He has no proper features to show concern or confusion but his body language should be enough to give that away. In his shoulders, where the Empire emblem used to be, a bright orange Starbird can be seen instead.]

This thing showed up in the living-room, next to my recharge station. It also had a card with my name on it. I put it in the fridge but a few minutes later it when back to the living room, somehow.

Is this is how storks and babies work for humans? Because I think there's been a grave misunderstanding.

Maybe it's for eating. I got one too.

[Video]

[k2so]

You as well? That's weird. I tried to make breakfast with it but it wouldn't open. it seems very resilient but it weighs almost nothing

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

I hadn't tried to do anything with it yet. I had to get ready for work.

...and I keep telling you, it's not a baby, it's a bomb!

[ It's safe to say Cassian is not having a good morning.

Waking up to the huge egg standing next to his bed had been bad enough, but then it had only reappeared in the same place when he threw it out the window.

No, this is not a good day. ]

[k2so]

It's not a bomb, I already ran the pertinent tests. Is the first thing I checked. Besides, look..

[Ready for a heart attack, Cassian? Because Kay will just drop the egg to the floor. It does not break nor it explodes.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian makes a strangled noise and just barely keeps himself from diving for cover.

Instead he surges forward to shake some sense into Kay, only... Yeah, giant droid. He ends up standing in front of him and buzzing with indignation. ]

Don't do that again! Don't... Don't you ever kriffing do that again!

Never seen an egg before? It's not really a stork thing. Probably. If it is, I think they're severely underestimating how ready people are to be parents here. But whatever is in there, shit's gotta hatch. I put mine next to the heater in a pile of warm shit. Nest that fucker.

Personally, I have my fingers crossed for a dragon but last time I had a giant egg it involved the end of the world. So. I figure we got like a 50/50 chance of it being horrible or awesome. Or awesomely horrible like it actually is a dragon but the dragon comes out and immediately bites your fucking head off.

[k2so]

None this big and not one that couldn't be broken. [He tried to make breakfast. Emphasis on 'tried'.] You are not worried about what could be inside? What if it's dangerous?

Horrible and awesome are not mutually exclusive. We have dragons in my world, most can't be tamed.

You totally tried to murder your egg baby, K. [ he shrugs a shoulder. ] If it is, whatever. We'll all be screwed and we'll deal with that later when they're hatching monstrosities. But I think I wanna try hatching it all nice and shit, in case it's not an abomination and knows what we're doing. Like yours is gonna be pissed because you thought to break it and mine will love me unconditionally forever.

I've never seen a dragon but a friend of mine had one as an unhatched psychic parent thing. If that makes any fucking sense.

[black_black_heart]

woke up with one, too

[ Okay... two, actually. But only one had had his name on its card. ]

[text]

[k2so]

Is this some sort of really elaborate prank or...?

[black_black_heart]

no idea

it's not one of mine if it is

[ Older pooka like Tannu are known for some pretty elaborate pranks, but nope. This egg thing's not his fault! ]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Well, yes some species do lay eggs, but not humans. I can definitely attest to that...got three kids of my own.

[k2so]

Three? That I didn't know.

Droid can't have offsprings in any way, I'm not sure where this egg came form or how to get rid of it.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Yeah. They aren't here, though.

You aren't the only one...it seems to be going around. I found one too.

[video]

[klutzette]

[There's a gasp. Colette is clearly upset.]

You can't put an egg in the fridge! You have to keep it warm and cuddle it so it'll hatch!

[video]

[k2so]

I can't only because it keeps popping up out of it without a logical explanation.

Hatch it? I don't know what's inside.

[video] | Posting as garrus too because he's seriously having a wtf moment and needs answers

[reachnotflexibility]

You got one too?

[Garrus hold up his own egg. He was beyond confused when he found the egg in the morning; turians don't even lay eggs. But it looks like this is weirder than he first thought if a robot got one.]

What the hell are we supposed to do with them?

[video]

[k2so]

There's two in the flat, actually, Cassian woke up with one next to his bed as well.

[Yeah, droids aren't exactly known for being able to reproduce. AT ALL.]

No idea. it won't break and throwing it away will only make it appear back on its original place.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Uhhh...

[ Have a perplexed-looking Koumyou, scratching the side of his face with one finger. ]

No? No, I don't think so. I pulled my son out of a river!

[ That's... also not how it 'works', Koumyou. ]

[Video]

[k2so]

[Why, hello stranger.]

That's a new one. I didn't know that rivers had the ability to give you babies. Unless your son is a fish...?

[sizedoesntmatter]

This isn't how babies work at all. Storks are not how it works either.

video;

[k2so]

No? I've heard some stories but no one ever explained to me in detail how actually works.

Video

[wizard_redfive]

No, humans don't come from eggs. The stork is a myth.

Video

[k2so]

So people is telling me. The stork is not a real animal either?
