cw: pregnancy/childbirth discussion

[Quite the contrary.]

Ugh, just Ianthe is fine. I haven't really been Princess of Ida in two years and it's the least of my titles. I only bother pulling them out if someone slaps their title dick down on the table.

[And they didn't matter. Deathwarden meant more here than anything else.]

VAT is an acronym but I don't remember what it stands for. So, in the Nine Houses, when people procreate, they can either grav-carry - which is in utero on a planetary installation with natural gravity - or make use of a VAT womb. That's a technological incubator that gestates a human embryo.

Ah... VAT is used during non-planterary procreation, so those that have good off to war can continue the family line even if they die, or the rich that literally don't want to grav-carry and go through the birthing process. Most VAT births start as grav-carry into the embryo reaches a certain stage and then they are transferred to the VAT to finish gestation.
