Hanz stood up and looked at Martin. "This is a joke, right? You are joking about the three of us, you're joking about me putting a child in him. You want me to produce children with both of you? I don't know what to say. I need to talk to someone."
"Well Hanz, it's like this—go talk to Ben, then Zach and Lex. Tell them what I just told you and get their take on it." Martin's voice was calm but firm. "Zach has been here for 20 years and he will recognize what I'm saying. I may be the first mate to you, but in this society that I was born into, the Genmen society, this is perfectly accepted. It hasn't been done in a long time, but it's okay."
"Ben will tell you how to claim Roy in front of his peers and co-workers so that no one else will ever attempt to cross paths with you. No one will bother him; they will respect him; he will gain admiration from all." Martin waved his hand dismissively. "Now be off with you. Go talk to Zach, talk to Ben. I'm through—my hormones are acting up."
