if i were an ancient, i might want a tween making machine for diplomatic/spying purposes - i mean, tweens can be massively inquisitive, and get forgiven when they get caught doing things that might actually be espionage, because they might not know any better. and they can be fostered out, or sent to schools to bond with the kids of the leaders of whatever society the ancients are trying to manipulate this week, to introduce subversive social engineering. like a much more hands-on and *slightly* more subtle game. tweens might even have been overlooked during wraith incursions, in the latter days of the war, since a smart culling takes adults and leaves the next generation to mature and breed. or maybe tweens would be scooped up by the wraith and taken to their ships rather than eaten outright, allowing for onboard espionage!
i bet there are even more reasons for a tween-making machine.
halloween costume! parenting scheme (you know, communicate better with your kids at that awkward stage by becoming one temporarily)! city maintenance workers get tweenified when they need to work in tight conduits!
