"Is somebody else extinct?"

"Just, like, birds and neanderthals and stuff." 

"Ah, those. I dunno, the gorilla people looked a little Neanderthal-y. If there is a good time to reintroduce dodos I can do that, they hatch from eggs."

"Whoah oh my goodness you can do that can't you." 

"Yeah! It's harder but not impossible with mammals, but eggs I can make them in an early enough stage that they develop proper minds."

"How do you do it with mammals?"

"The braindead ones are still biologically alive, and with enough medical care you can get them to carry to term at a decent success rate."

"...Does that work with people?"

"No, the success rate drops off with how smart the creature is normally because the differential between that and bug-smart gets too big. I guess it's possible if you tried it in a million humans one would take but it takes nearly that many to get a chimp."

"I hope not. That sounds...disturbing." 

"No one's managed it in Hell, somebody would have noticed."

"I don't know if I should be glad or not. On the one hand, I'm disturbing. On the other hand, I'm not braindead and pregnant." 

"Oh, that's not the part I'd worry about, the part I'd worry about would be how vulnerable the non-braindead baby would be in Hell."

"...Is that bad?"

"Demons are indestructible and live in total anarchy and new adults with full-fledged demon powers appear now and then."

"And they might hurt the baby by accident." 

"On accident's one way, yes."

"Right. You did say not everyone's as nice as you." 

"Lots of demons are really nice, but there are billions."

"Could demons make fish-people babies? I don't know if fish-people lay eggs," she says, suddenly concerned. 

"...that's worrying, yeah, if they lay eggs demons can probably make them." He attempts a plasticized egg.

Nope. 

"I can't get a dummy egg if I try though, so hopefully we're good."

"Oh good," she says, letting out a breath of relief. 

"Did you guys have fun with your computers while I was out?"
