[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.

[Is that... really a good idea?

He just sighs and nods.]

Make sure you tell Undyne you've named the egg... I think she's going to want to know. And might make you change it if she doesn't like it.

[despairing_hope]

Oh... true. You have a good point, she seems to be rather maternal over it. I'll make sure to tell her, and get approval.

[His tone hinted that he just realized she might actually have some claim and shared interest. It wasn't just his egg to do with as he pleased. Still, if she didn't like the name he would just convince her otherwise. ]

[hopefragment]

You guys are in this together, whether you want to be or not.

[What a mess... he just sighs and shakes his head in some resignation. As soon as he leaves here, he's going to call Dave and see what he thinks about the egg. For now... apparently he needs to get used to the idea of people like Komaeda and Undyne being parents.]

[despairing_hope]

Please don't put it like that, it feels a bit upsetting.

[Theoretically he could probably be a good parent, or at least be an organized and clean one.]

You say it like we're a couple.

[hopefragment]

If you're really dedicated to raising whatever hatches from this egg... you're going to have to work together with her. That's all I meant.

[Just shakes his head again. How does Komaeda keep ending up in these kinds of absurd situations...? Is luck really so powerful?]

[despairing_hope]

[Luck is the most powerful thing there is.]

I'm not going to argue that fact, but I wouldn't mind trading either.

[He offers a smile though.]

I think I've been with her enough now to judge her properly however, so perhaps from now on it will work better.

[She seemed a pretty easy person to potentially influence in his desired way.]
