Mark might not believe in UFOs, but there's a big difference between that and actually being in space.

"Alex. Find a window, this is--"

He pauses, noticing the object of Alex's attention.

"What's going on?"

"This is what?"

But his attention is arrested when the chirping comes again. It's a low, intermittent sound, and it's unmistakably coming from the egg.

"...no way."

Alex stands, more hastily than he would have expected himself to, and peers into the clear plastic incubator. The egg is quivering. Holy crap, it's still alive.

"We're in outer space. I mean, the gravity didn't change or anything, but the Mansion did--look outside your room. And that thing is hatching. In space. This is incredible."

He's not jumping up and down or anything, but he's audibly excited.

"I think I'm starting to understand what Phil saw in this."

"In space?" For now, his brain processes that as 'weird Mansion gimmick #3740823' rather than as 'real actual holyshit outer space', because crazy events are ten a penny but his crocodile only hatches once. "What's the mansion playing at this time?"

He carefully, but excitedly, lifts the lid from the incubator so that the trembling egg is open to the air. You're meant to pull bits of shell off as it hatches, he's read about this.

Uhh...

Egbert?

[ No, that was literally the first thing that came into his head. You can point and laugh now. He would if he EVER CRACKED A SMILE. ]

*He does smile and shake his head.*

No Alex. You're gonna give him self esteem issues.

I don't even know if it's a boy.

[ The lid's off the incubator, and he's got his hand juuuust next to the egg, ready to pull bits of shell away if needed. He thinks that's what you do to hatch a crocodile. Right? ]

[ Space exploration must wait a moment. This is a matter of utmost importance. ]

The egg didn't hatch until now?!

[ Oh, don't you dare start yelling at him, not when he made it clear that he didn't even want this egg in the first place.

Having the croc hatching in three different threads at once would just be barmy, so let's say it's safely squared away in a washing-up bowl of shallow water for now. He'll get it some kind of terrarium in a moment. ]

No. It didn't. [ JUST TRY HAVING A GO AT HIM ABOUT IT. ]
