If Viktor or his weird army of robots were able to get pregnant and reproduce, it would not be a human pregnancy.

Viktor usually strives for perfection in modifying humanity. Human pregnancy is the opposite of that.

Viktor is completely made of metal, which leaves no room for the baby to grow. It would have to grow on the inside, which is something that can happen, but the baby could develop multiple problems at that cost.

The human pelvis is too small to push a baby through. Which can cause things like ripping, tearing, injuries on the baby, and even death. Some babies even get face bruises from the pelvic bone on their way out. Viktor’s body isn’t human, but his pelvis well resembles a human pelvis.

Giving birth can take hours or days. Constant pain and screaming, with a chance that the baby could die on the way out. Viktor would view that as a waste of time.

So, how WOULD reproduction be handled within the army, if it did.

The first option, the most likely, would be asexual reproduction. Making an identical copy to oneself to expand the army.

But leaving it at that would be uninteresting.

Theres also the possibility of egg laying activity. If the egg shells were made of metal and stored in one area, the baby would be all set. The problem with this is that it also requires pushing a large object through the pelvis. So that can lead to problems as well. Unless the robots have a special slot for laying giant eggs, this will not work.

There could also be the possibility of a beehive method. Viktor would be the queen, and he’d have babies, which his army would place in little slots of a very big area. The guards would tend to them in their infant stages while Viktor gets down and dirty to have more babies.

The method could also be more parasitic. He’d lay the seeds in a living organism, and that organism would be the host until the babies pop out.

Or a cuckoo bird thing, where the army may place the baby in a home with another baby to make the human parents think they had two babies.

The last, and my personal favorite option, could be a kangaroo type of method. Viktor could form a little pocket, and grow the baby in that pocket. The baby will crawl out when it’s ready. It’s simple, painless, and leaves a pocket that Viktor can put his baby in to protect it.

What do you guys think?
