"This is Scorponok. Leave a message, as I am busy at the moment. If you want to see the infant, send me a text before you enter. Don't you dare knock and wake her up."
Organics are too hostile towards us, but look at how most of the ship treats my sweet daughter. [Who is going to be spoiled rotten once she can talk.]
I worry that your arms may not be enough to carry her and throw her around as she likes. Small children need that sort of experience to develop their sense of balance. What will happen if she's delayed?
[His previous genius baby...will no longer be number 1.]
They are hostile to her? [he asks, genuinely surprised. primal can't say he really pays much attention to everything on the ship, and scorpinok's antics are amongst those.] I am stronger than you might think, Scorponok. If this is to be a permanent change, then we can easily work out an alternative.
They call her horrible things. How she's an insult to life, that she's gross and should not have been created. [He clutches at his chest with a hand, where the Spark that is now owned by Mama Baba resides.] Some even suggested that we kill her when we first met!
[How could they? Not just because she was a baby, but she was a new lifeform developed via genetic engineering!]
How terrible, [he says evenly, snorting in a way that would make his true feelings on this (quite put out) very clear, if he was in his own body. primal isn't one for complaining, but he can't say he cares too much for how his beastformer language doesn't translate well.] perhaps for the best that it was you who found her, then.
[Scorponok's body naturally adds haughtiness and sarcasm to everything he sways. You can take the smug, monologuing villain out of his body, but you cannot remove the smugness and tendency to monologue out of his body. Aura found it sweet and fatherly.]
[Aura Froudine looks away from the exercise equipment that she has decided are toys to stare at the face of her father. Her large red eyes are wide as she tries to figure out what's wrong with her father, who's wearing an strange expression. But, he is her father, and she reaches out with a small hand to grab his face.]
She likes doing that. [Getting her hands everywhere.]

Hello, Aura. I am not your father, I'm afraid, but I'm doing my best to help look after you.
