Tobias didn't go right back to sleep when the doctors left. He sat there fiddling with his pip-boy for a few minutes before Caleb spoke up. He glanced over at him before sighing.
"Yeah. I mean, I didn't know anything else. But things were getting out of control..." He mumbled, shaking his head. "I think they......just meant to make men able to give birth....but it went horribly wrong." He continued, looking away. "I heard they used some kind of virus to get things to work....and animal DNA....so people stopped having normal cycles and instead went into heat." He said, some color rising in his cheeks. "Breeding got out of control....and gestation times got really short. So, overpopulation happened really fast." He said, looking to Caleb.
"We were running out of supplies, and the overseer and scientists were planning to cull the population. When word got out, all hell broke loose. Overseer released robots to control the problem by killing people who fought back. I got caught in the crossfire before I found this pip-boy on a dead scientist and escaped." He said, motioning to the device on his wrist. He looked away, blushing more. "I....I only came into heat once...and....well, you know how that ended. That's why I was worried about the contamination of the food. Guess I was right." He sighed.
