...and still there were others who were traveling within the pyramid looking for the source of the screams and groans.
This is true.
However, before they get there, a little more happens.
So, meanwhile, in the other room where Astra 5b is giving birth.......
Fred the Manfox shakes off the "bad vibes" he's still getting from his surroundings. He and Alicia only felt something similar one time before, back when they went down to Atlantis to fight Zerm (re: 5397). Understand, manimals are empathic by nature and not only are able to easily detect emotions given off by living beings....but some can also detect "residual" emotions left over at certain locations (example, at the scene of a violent murder). While nothing of the sort happened here, something is setting off Fred the Manfox and the Shefoxes on edge. The same type of something he and his wife felt (to a lesser extent) when they entered into the lair of Zerm to retrieve Helena.
Wherever they are now, it has the same "taste" as down in Atlantis. That and some of the decor also has an Atlantian taste to it as well.
However, first thing first. Fred must deal with the task at hand and pray that he can handle what come next!
"Alicia! Alicia 3, can you handle that Astra's birth?" he asks loudly, setting things in order.
His wives answer affirmative and Fred shakes his shaggy head in approval, mentally checking off that off of a list in his head. His wives had helped with the delivery of friends cubs and kits, so should be able to handle it. It might seem unnecessary for Fred the Manfox to ask such a question, but then again sometimes such questions are needed. After all, his wives also been shaken up a bit as well.... And the fact that sometimes the birth of triplets can be a handful (and the manimals know that Astra 5b has triplets for they can feel their presence in Astra 5b's womb).
Anyway, with a bit of prodding and "suggesting," also known as leading....for as the Pack Leader of the Manimal Nation of Terra Prime that's what Fred the Manfox had rather gotten used to leading, the needs of Astra 5b are tended to. Jarlath 2 and Andrea 3, after a suggestion by Fred the Manfox, they create such things needed to tend to newborns (and then tend to clothing needs....Lord knows how much time they'll have before Astra's kids will make the scene).
Indeed, the situation gets a bit chaotic again when the others of the pyramid come upon them, finally (lead on by the groans of pain by Astra 5b). However, that doesn't go on for long as most of the inhabitants already are familiar with the concept of parallel realities and the fact that the pyramid seems to be collecting various Freds and Astras (along with a few others) throughout the multiverse). So, things are going along well enough in this room (there is news of some other Astra or somebody giving birth elsewhere in the pyramid).....until Astra 5b gives birth to her first child.... and she and Fred 5b learn.....
