Sire offspring? Your referring to population control? Making her cook her own eggs is the only way to keep their growth in check. If they overbreed they will be too much competition for land and rescources and will of course end up being wiped out. Its for their own good.
Ah, my friend! You seem to understand very little about the grand and noble Tetatae, do not fear though, for I am your comrade and am glad to enlighten you!
All Tetatae baby chickies are hatched with an innate understanding of The Word and the destiny that The Word has assigned to them. It is for this reason that we reside within the hallowed halls of the House Of Lowtax and no other place in the Inner Sphere. It is a Divine Mandate. Captured Tetatae braves have never been broken, will never reveal information, will never bow to the torture of tyrants. The Word is a shield from which we derive our strength, I pity those that might be ignorant of The Word. The SQUAWK of the noble brave under interrogation is a SQUAWK of defiance.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that the Tetatae female would be a docile servant, and again my friend, you need not worry for I will teach you the truth! The Tetatae female is the Tetatae Brave, our noble warriors and the largest of all our kind. She'll have the toughest beak to boot, sharpened on the bones and flesh of the heretics who refuse to comprehend The Word. Strong enough to cut through reinforced 'mech armor, the Tetatae Brave has very little to fear. I hate to shatter your dream, my friend, I too wish for an Inner Sphere where Tetatae and Human stand side by side, but this will never be achieved through slavery. Our kind have been enslaved once, and with The Mitanni's grace it will never happen again.
If you truely wish to see peaceful cooperation, comrade, come take a look at the Glorious People's Communist Confederation of the Capellan State some time, we always welcome visitors, and I'm sure one look at our integrated populations will show you that is entirely possible to have man and bird live in total harmony and unity. As it stands now I am very afraid that your 'docile' captured Tetatae Brave would simply tear your family apart and feast on their entrails, as we would have feasted upon the juicy grub worm native to our planet. Many a Federated Suns infantryman has met a similar fate after attempting to subdue a brave that they have underestimated, I'm afraid it is quite hard to calm them down after they get the battle-lust rushing through their veins.
Enough talk about unfortunate realities and dark pasts though, my best friend! We have bright futures to look forward to! Us Tetatae are very intelligent, we can pick up new languages faster than your master linguists! We have a stronger grasp of your human technology, able to take complex mechanics apart and repair them with speeds that some of my comrades in the GPCCCS have called 'mind-blowing', I think that is the word. Our Braves are strong and noble and have the highest and most majestic headcrests, real beauties if you are to be catching my drift, comrade. Our Mechwarriors are able to operate their DIVINE GREAT BIRD BATTLEMECHS with technique and adeptness that far surpasses more experienced human elites. Our avian brains are larger and our muscled limb parts plain faster and more agile than the average human. You see now that there is nothing to fear from the Tetatae, my most honored of best-loved comrades! One day we will live side by side, hand in wing, marching together throughout an Inner Sphere rendered calm by total peace.
The Word dictates it so, and The Word is law. All will understand The Word. Those who refuse The Word will be thrown to the Holy Fires Of Judgment And Righteous Fury. Give no quarter to the Heretic Human, give no quarter to the Traitor Tetatae, give only the aid of the swift death to those who remain blind to the Light Of Lowtax. As it says in The Word, amen.
I am very glad to be teaching you about the Tetatae, my closest of brothers! I hope you will see how great it is to be a man and a tetatae who are the best of friends like a 'buddy cop movie'! It is a great feeling, is it not?
