I think you mentioned that a kidnapping attempt is what gave Jane her... nervousness, but will that be addressed in the main fic? No, it wasn't a kidnapping attempt, and yes it'll be addressed next chapter ideally.
So we know that Roxy and Dirk like Rose best XD That one was mostly a joke. They're all closer to some people depending on specific circumstances and about X topic and to other people in other circumstances/topics. Sometimes it cleaves along sibling lines, and sometimes about prospit kids vs derse kids, and sometimes along same-gendered or opposite-gendered technically-twin lines and sometimes idk, it really depends.
Re: pets, there's Jaspers and Mutie (who isn't really a mutant in this 'verse, i don't think XD) and Bec, though Bec tends to stay outside and roam the island. Jaspers is more often found in the kids' living area and Mutie explores the labs and mech hangars a lot, though s/he (??? i forget) also comes by to eat at the kids'. Alas no Maplehoof. ;^;
I think they were together until toddler-age and then they split and came back together around age eight. babyfic sounds fun though.
Did any of the adults really UNDERSTAND what they were getting into at first, that they were creating children and not just Future Saviors Of Earth? Yeah, that was Nanna's big thing.
Nanna was kinda tired about raising kids again when her own son was old enough to give her grandkids, but Grandpa Harley was happy about it, since he didn't have family and felt a bit like he'd missed that boat, and Mom tended to regard them with the tender affection of a scientist for her favorite lab mice that are absolutely not to be tested to destruction, just on. like. brainbreaking mazes and stuff. yeah. >___>
The in-story reason for the kids splitting that way was that they weren't sure whether it would be best to 1) make straight clones or mixed clones and which would take to the strength/intelligence alteration the best or whether there would even be a difference, and how gender differences would affect piloting, and how whether same sex or opposite sex bonding worked best. So... the sample size is way too small for accurate results but that was a nod to Mom's half-assed need to keep to the scientific method. XD they did one of each. At the time Strider's fighting techniques were adapted to his own body type and he hadn't studied how to teach and even less how to teach to someone who didn't move like him, and he felt he wouldn't know how to teach a girl to her best potential (also he insisted he had no goddamn clue how to handle a girl) so he and Mom decided to get the same gender pairs, and by default the other two pairs got to be mixed gender.
And you say Dave also ended up hurting Bro at some points too? How does Bro deal with that? o_o Either "Not bad. Dare you to do it again." or the kind of look that means "Will you quit blubbering, you fucking pansy, it's just a flesh wound srsly i'm fine.", only mostly because he can't speak at the time XD
LONG COMMENTS ARE AWESOME SHUSH. i'm sad i can't answer everything!!!
