Baby Nom

[Laz]

This is a weird question that crossed my mind.....

if an infected person and a non infected person have a baby, what happens to it? is is infected? it it even possible?
What about 2 infected people.

This is a genuine question about nomads, that i cant seem to find the answer to.
Please save those jokes that are clearly gonna build up until i have my answer

Since we describe an infection as a nomad incubi entering the person... it is not really an "infection" in the conventional sense.

I guess if it is possible at all it would be a normal human child.

Would that baby get a babynom, which would be really small, making it a baby baby nom?

Are you drunk, Laz?

Nope. Just curious about nomad physiology. *reaches for another bottle a glass of water*

This should give you a nice read on that subject.
The incubus is more like a parasite which acts as interceptor between the brain and the rest of the body, executing commands on its own to exert control. It does not really alter the DNA, and as such the DNA of any offspring should be unaltered as well. The parasite-like presence of the incubus could result in some unforeseen mutations caused by the incubus during the development of the child though, if you think about it.

if you think about it.

I'd really rather not.

Think of the incubus as a little pilot that's driving around its human meat-puppet. That shouldn't have any direct effect on their physiology, although in SP infectees are described as faster, stronger, deadlier than regular humans, so some kind of change must be happening. So who knows?

A normal baby would be born without an infection. Though, it is possible for the incubi to make the host not able to have children.

Now it makes me wonder, if Nomads also share the emotions with the infectee, such as love, compassion or sadness. Not to mention more physical forms of affection. No, really, I'm serious right now.

Well as read in the document, they can start in the form of seeds, so the infectee could put a tiny seed, in the tiny child.
it would grow up to become infected much later.
