This is Liberty again. Maybe you have different customs here, but I have no idea how long I might be here for, so I'm going to ask this now in case it isn't long at all.

I want to have a child of my own. Naturally.

Is there any man here who will help me? Over twenty, human, no genetic issues?

We can just have overnights and part as friends once I know I'm carrying, I'm not asking for contract, although it'd be nice to get to know each other. I'm from a small colony with very unfavorable demographics and this is probably my only chance.

	You would still need a donor, yes. I'm unsure what any of that is. He is a geneticist, but currently a child version of himself. It has happened before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully it won't come to that. Unless there's something wrong with me and all the men on the station think I'm hideous. I've never met a man my age before. That definitely sounds like it's connected to telomere research, but...way beyond my level of knowledge. Futuristic stuff. I hope he manages to fix it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are perfectly tolerable, I am sure. I was thinking more of your own comfort, than of theirs. I should clarify, he didn't make himself a child. It is a strange quirk of the station. It has happened to me before, as well as switching gender, and switching bodies with another station resident. It will revert to 'normal' again in time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If I wasn't comfortable with it, I would hardly be asking. Maybe it's not ideal, but thinking I can sit around and hope I'll fall in love and take contract and build a nice homestead with a field out back and then think about children is really naive and impractical. Especially as being on this station seems temporary. This is my best option.

I'm not trying to be rude, but what you're saying sounds scientifically impossible.

	I considered it was possible that you simply didn't know there was any alternative. I must say, I admire your pragmatism, when you put it that way. I know, I know, and yet I am speaking the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you! I understand now. If this had happened when I was younger, the alternative might have been better, but I think I'm making the right decision here. You were turned into a child? What was it like? Did you remember everything, despite the physical difference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is important that you are aware of all the options available to you, so that you might make an informed decision. I am glad that have confidence in your choices. I remembered nothing. I'm only aware of it because others have informed me, and I was able to look back on the network and see my postings. (Reply to this) (Parent)
