Dreaded Wings

😔 What are some of their worries/insecurities about being a parent? How do they deal with this? 

There’s a lot of worries that Icy has over making sure her hatchlings/sparklings stay safe. Does not matter if its one of her own broods or an adopted sparkling. 

Her first two clutches? They were taken away as soon as Icy would not have a rage response with them out of her sight, and she’s HAD predacon sparklings kidnapped here and there through time and dementions.

She’s had adoptive modern mecha sparklings taken or when she was younger, pressured hard to give them up to ‘better caretakers then a predacon.’ It may, looking back, be understandable why they did, but it still hurt.

So Icy keeps her broods on Dreaded Wings now. There’s plenty of room on the massive living ship for the young, between safe internal cargo holds that Icy and some of her insecticon workers turned in...well a giant park. Everything is safe for hatchlings, even sparklings to chew on, plenty of room and energon. She’ll only take one or two out and about if the full crew isn’t around to help watch like hawks for strangers.

🧹 How do they handle chores? Do they assign a specifics to certain children? Is there a rotation, and org chart, or do they just tell them when it’s needed? 

For the most part there is no chores, once predacon hatchligs hit a teenage stage they can move about almost any where on Dreaded Wings. The first real ‘chores’ is hunting play, finding and chopping on pests on the ship. Other then helping to just keep Dreaded Wings cleaned... not much. 

Icy just lets them be kids basically, with manors, if some show an interest in tasks the adults do they are more then welcomed to help and learn, but mostly its just learning how to transform, talk other then in predacon/insecticon.

Once they’re old enough to learn how to be scouts is where the work/chores would come in on planet side. Tracking resources, looking for other mecha and any Weird Stuff.
