The nests are lined up neatly in rows, and each contains a breeding pair of male and female humans and their babies. The breeding pairs raise their young inside their nests. The Baby Factory produces humans connected by flesh and blood. Eventually we children will also leave the factory and be shipped out.

Eventually these young humans also form breeding pairs, coop themselves up in new nests, and manufacture more babies.”
