#and Lapu knows that Mechi loves robots

That four panel sequence of Lapu meeting everyone and JUT being the one to throw him off was brilliant. I laughed out loud.

"Okay, I can believe my son getting involved in crazy Void stuff that would result in multiple copies of himself. That seems like something he would do. I can believe him accidentally adopting a cheerful green-haired girl who somehow ends up with a tentacle and a talking knife. That tracks. I understand the androids, he's always talked about how great mechanoids are, and androids aren't that different... but a weird French cult escapee with a tentacle and a taste for blood?? That doesn't seem like Makya at all. He really has changed!" — Sergeant Lapu Jones, probably

I've been doodling the colony Dads on scrap paper whenever I have a spare moment. I love 'em so much ❤️❤️

How do you think Mechi (and technically Kwahu’s?) parents would react to finding out about Kwahu? (Sorry if this has been answered before)

I think Lapu (dad) and Squashbug (mum) would be delighted with their new son. Lapu would act a bit more gruff and standoffish about it (where do you think Mechi gets it from?), but Squashbug would waste no time in catching up on all the affection she hasn't gotten to give her new baby.

I think Mechi would enjoy being able to use his "good twin" as a barrier to avoid having to actually talk to his parents. He doesn't like people, and so far, only siblings (and clones) are spared the wrath of the misanthrope trait.

Kwahu would love sitting down with his newly acquired parents to chat about all the things he knows about them from Mechi's borrowed memories. Maybe he'd introduce them to the Corrupted Obelisk, which is, for all intents and purposes, his only actual parent.
