Ricardo J. Mndez's Progesterone infusions (build 1)


These two COBs (Progesterone Infusion and Progesterone Zeroer) are two
infusion COBs for Cyberlife's Creatures.  Being an infusion means that
they don't inject any new objects in the world, but instead have an
immediate effect over the selected norn.

Progesterone Infusion: If the selected norn is a pregnant, female norn,
this COB will increase the Progesterone level to 230, thus precipitating
the egg laying.  I'm not sure if it can have any side effects, but in
my tests it always behaved well.

Progesterone Zeroer: In case you have a female norn, and you wish that
the after-birth waiting lapse was over, this is the COB to use.  It will
drop the progesterone level to 0, and the norn will be able to get
pregnant again. It might also be of use in the false pregnancy cases.


A little bit of history:  I had a pregnant norn called Patty, that for
some reason had her progesterone level cycled at around 150.  It wouldn't
go up no matter how much time, nor get lower enough to convince me that 
some weird case of false pregnancy was going on.

I decided to do the Progesterone infusion so that she could lay the egg,
but due to a misinterpretation of the meaning of the BABY value, I
thought that she wasn't really pregnant, but had instead a case of false
pregnancy.  So, to remove the weird progesterone, I made the Progesterone
Zeroer.

Fortunately I had placed a small check on it so that it only worked on
non-pregnant norns, and when it blurted out the warning message I realized
my error and was able to corrent the Infusion.  Patty gave birth to Johnny,
who so far looks pretty healty.


Good luck,
