[This is the first time Komeada has used the network to broadcast anything himself. He's smiling, though that's pretty typical for him, but there's a slight awkwardness to it.]

It would seem that by happenstance I've become a father.

[He sighs deeply, it is a rather purposeful sigh.]

I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do now though. I've been trying to look up information on how to go about it but the recourses are a bit lacking.

Biology was never really something I looked too deeply into. It seems a bit unlucky to be burdened by this so suddenly.

[He brightens at the next part though.]

However, I guess it is a rather lucky encounter to be bestowed a life to nurture!

Even though I was assaulted and insulted in the process.

[He sighs again, this one more genuine.]

Now I feel rather tired. So... yes, if someone could please help me, I don't really have enough stamina left to try and figure this out right now.

[And he does look rather drawn and tired. Paler than usual.]

[ That's when Undyne makes her grand appearance in the video feed, but not before setting off any number of crashes and explosions in the background? Did half the base just go up in flames? Sure sounds like it, but that's hardly important. Anyway... ]

What's up, buttmunches?! I'm a MOM now and if any of you losers even THINK about coming near MY egg-- [ She will fight Komaeda for it for custody!! Except not really. She'll share, just very badly, because that's Undyne. BUT EVERYONE ELSE STAY AWAY. ] --I'll make you regret it!

SO STAY AWAY FROM MY EGG!

[ A beat, and then: ] Oh! And uh... stay outta the Void, okay? It's too dangerous out there for you nerds.

She dragged me to go fight a monster.

[He could see where Souda's mind was going and was going to nip that right now. Though it was his own fault.]

[soulfriend]

She did that too?! Was that . . . before or after?! Was she testing your fitness to be a father?!

[He's still assuming the worst, here.]

[despairing_hope]

Souda kun, I know I was ambiguous.... And it's my fault for intending that, but it's a bit sad to watch you like this now.

She did nothing more than drag me out into the ocean to fight a monster.

[soulfriend]

That's it, huh . . .

[Is he disappointed? Well, he's at least a little put out at the clarification.]

You tricked me on purpose, man! Don't go calling me the sad one! Wait a second, are you sayin' this is a monster egg?

[despairing_hope]

It was only a little fun. And yes, it's Hope! It's everyone's hope!

It said I would fail but I'll definitely succeed in raising it!

[soulfriend]

What? How'd it turn into this again?! Are you just callin' anything Hope now to justify it?!

[despairing_hope]

The creature told me! It said it was "Their hope"!

[soulfriend]

Whose hope? You sure it didn't mean their hope? Dude, you stole someone's baby! Y-you stole the next generation of monster!

[despairing_hope]

I doubt it was talking about itself, so the rest of the planet maybe? Also it spit it at me and told me to try and fail, so of course I'll prove that my Hope is real and I won't lose!
