"It's real, actually. The medical scientists grow them in jars from tissue salvaged from women who died during The Arrival. They call it The Farm, the lab where they grow everything. I went in there once when they were testing my blood type to find a suitable match. They grow other stuff in there like lungs, hearts, livers, kidneys... Anything a wounded soldier might need replaced when they get hurt or sick with contamination. It was kinda creepy, but necessary, I suppose.

"If you're ready, then we should get started." Piras pulled up his pants a little, but he didn't bother closing them. He then walked over to the little table laid out with marked syringes. "We use similar procedures as in vitro fertilization. A few minutes before we have sex, you'll need to give me a shot of progesterone at the base of my spine. That will aid with implantation. I'll also inject myself in the stomach with this cocktail of medications here, which basically stimulate ovulation. I actually need the progesterone every day for the first two weeks after we have sex. You can either come to my room in the morning to help, or I can have a staff medic come do it." Piras wasted little time inserting the needle into his lower belly and pushing the plunger. Obviously, this happened enough times that he was used to it. Next, he picked up the second syringe and approached Han-jae.
