After a quick romp behind the back wall, the result is immediate pregnancy.
A few hours down the line and pop out comes a child.
So far, so heteronormative.

And your daughters power station buddy?
Its like some post-apocalyptic soap opera sim: Wastelanders.
And theres no contraception here.
The scariest thing of all?
I just cant stop playing.
