gollark: Oh, we actually just used the perfect universe simulators.
gollark: They'll have to be run through our accelerated maturation process in order to comprehend esobot by 2023, but it should be fine.
gollark: Their gender can be edited as needed for the plan.
gollark: Then we had to extrapolate forward to that child's likely future partners, reran the process again and got a grandchild!
