Meanwhile "Have you ever tried making something from scratch?" asked Slime "Not copied but just worked out from basic principles, like pulleys and levers and things. Or not even that simple, but maybe something electronic, but lay out the wires and components yourself. How do you get your designs usually?"

"Just gettem online. Like this RC car." Foreman brought up a model of a car on his screen. "So youse sayin I should take a look inside, see how it tiks?" The model spun around and separated into its component parts.

"Oohhh it looks like a nest!" said one of the ants, looking over the tangled wires on display. "But shouldn't the tunnels at the front and back be connected?"

"Well yeah" said Foreman "They connect at the... battery." a red cursor appeared on screen and circled a battery shaped hole in the design. "There's uh, supposed to be a battery there."

"I think there's supposed to be a motor too." Slime pointed out.

"Well easy, I'll just copy one from this other thing." Foreman added some components to the design and it reassembled into a car. "I'll print it out and it'll be good to go." But as they assembled at the window to watch one of the arms building up the car, as soon as it was done the little vehicle started spinning around until it burst apart.

"What happened? We can't see that far you know?" asked the ants. "It uh, exploded." answered Slime who had been watching with superior slime eyes "Where did you get that motor from?" Foreman chewed over his digital cigar before answering "I figured, a motor's a motor right? So I copied one from a blender. This is trickier than I thought."

Foreman brought the design schematic back up and the ants and Slime crowded around making suggestions. The ants didn't really know how any of it worked, but explaining it to them helped Foreman work through what each part of machine did, and why it wasn't working. After a lot of iterating and breaking things they came up with a car that was not only functional, but improved. It had a camera rigged up with a little screen inside so an ant could actually see what was ahead and steer using little pedals.

Watching the ants joyriding around in the little car left Foreman feeling a bit jealous. "Ey, Slime. Ya think we could rig up a car for me to ride in too? Or maybe like a robotic body?"

Tell them you don't know the situation with the ships(we heard they all failed somehow but that contradicts Coordinator not knowing the situation, unless they're in denial?), but you're in a position where you can re-establish contact. Ask where the humans are, and you can try some things.
First option is trying to talk to them over the internet, second would be sending a Slime over on a fast-flying drone. Any supplies can be procured on-site, though maybe some sort of ID would be useful to prove we're working for Librarian.

B) Let's try the diplomatic approach with them. But if that doesn't end up working, we should respect their territory and just stay in the park.

We shouldn't call them until you are until you find a medieval suit of armor and use your slim body to control it from the inside. This way, you will be able to at least look human to them.

Fight and assimilate! Our slime army need more mass and to grow until all is slime. As for other possible humans, if they are still alive, we need to find a way how attack at least one here. After we eat them and turn him into slime which it can be a spy for us. It would be good to know what humans are up to. On the topic of the small car, you should make a slime copy of it.

"Hey" said Slime "aren't you some of mine? Like I can sense you've got some slime in you. Did you eat anything out of the park?"

"So what if we did? You're not the boss of us!" sneered Littlest Cat. "Now we're smarter we're gonna figure out how to get in the old human dens and get all their treats."

"And there's nothing we can do to get you to share? Or at least let us pass through?"

"No way! Its all ours." Littlest Cat looked provocatively smug.

"Well then" Slime started getting more goopy and loomed over the gang "Guess I'll have to make you."

"Whoa hey whoa!" Littlest Cat held up his paws "Hey give us a fighting chance would ya?"

Slime shrunk back into fox shape. "Oh all right" They waved a gooey paw and the assembled park animals charged in.

The fight that ensued lasted a long while. Since everyone had Slime in them it just healed any injuries. In the end it came down to who wanted it more, and turned out the cat's gang was just a bunch of posers.

Still it all got Slime really worked up and it thought a punishment for the losers was in order.

Meanwhile "Not yet, the ship still has a ways to go. How many humans are left? We want to make sure we include enough room." Slime asked Coordinator.

"Well, there's a few centers left. I only know for sure about the ones that are running radios." the satellite bound AI said. "I can see a lot of lights down there at night, but I don't know if those are just automated."

"The biggest population is in the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid. They told me to stop calling, and that they weren't going to leave. I guess they're all still there, so that's a million or so."

"There's a seed bank and lab up in the Yukon, with a radio telescope. They always tell me to shut up and get out of the way. I don't know how many of them are there."

"Just recently there's been another signal, way out in Appalachia. They play music and community news. Sounds like there's a bunch of farms out there. I-I've actually been practicing singing a little, so maybe I could be on the show too."

"And that's all I know about." Coordinator finished. "Thanks. That's very helpful. My mmm, associates and I will discuss this and get back to you." Slime hopped away from the microphone and huddled up with its crows.

"How do you guys feel about humans? I remember them being jerks." Slime asked.

"I heard that too." one of the crows said, to a chorus of nods in agreement. "But I also heard they made good snacks, and they left all these good shinies behind. We ought to get them to make snacks for us."

"I agree." said Librarian "I need humans to write more books for me. I can't leave here, but if you could conquer some I would be very grateful."

"Right." Slime said "We'll get us some humans. Should see what the rest of Slime is up to and we'll make a plan. Which group should we go after first and what's our tactic?"

D: West, across the ocean
E: North, in the icy wastes
F: East, across the continent

"I uh, I can still hear you." said Coordinator

[b]Meanwhile]/b] Slime perused Foreman's handsome mug for a minute. "Hmmm. Looking at you, I know immediately what kind of body you would need. Big snake."

"Ehh that seems a little impractical, bud. How will I get anything done without hands?"

"Good point. A snake with limbs then. Like a caterpillar."

"Caterpillar? Like wat tractors have?"

"Yeah! Now we're talking! Big grabby claws too. What else?"

With Slime's encouragement Foreman got to work on the biggest single machine he had ever worked on. For over a week they designed and redesigned, tested and refined. Orders piled up as most of the factory was spent on the construction of this monstrosity.

The ants were also learning as they went along. A few took their car to bring the rest of their nest to the factory. Queen was excited with the idea of becoming antgineers, and the first thing they did was reprogram some drones to redirect shipments of oranges from the orchard to their new home.

Foreman's new body was completed and it was fantastic. An articulated body as long as a train, tread-lined with dozens of printer arms. Topped off with a pair of heavy demolition claws and an industrial shredder maw. The gruff AI couldn't be happier.

Slime wanted to check in with its other parts, and Foreman wanted to see the city, so the two set out while the ants took over what was left of the factory. They made their way downtown, Foreman devouring any vehicles or infrastructure that got in the way for resources. Eventually they passed by the library, and Slime was reunited with Slime.

Now Foreman could help with planning the coming campaign. What could he construct to aid?

F. Let's do what we can in our continent before we go off somewhere more exotic. I'm a little worried about how ice affects Slimes...
Wait why don't we just do all three? I think this is important enough to split up again. Someone needs to report back to the "main base" too!

Oh hey we have a spare Slime now.

M: We need to establish a communications network, even if it's just a bunch of mobile phones everyone can use. If that's a simple task we don't need Foreman for, then:
J. We're about to go long distance for something so we'll need transportation at the very least, and transportation is the backbone of a logistics chain. Weapons can be delivered or procured along the way, and we're basically our own spy network.

Hmm, considering the roads are all in poor shape, we're gonna need flying vehicles. A helicopter or VTOL should work. A small plane would be fine in a pinch since we should be able to find some short runways to takeoff/land in it... or we could make something that can clear roads! Like, a tank with a cowcatcher in front to shove dead cars out of the way. We might have to repair it during travel if we try to drive it long distances though. Maybe that's a longer term project that needs something a bit more specialized and sustainable.

"Look who's the boss of you now!" crowed Slime, even though it wasn't currently a crow "Now Dance!"

"ehhhhh couldn't you eat me instead?" whined Littlest Cat.

"No. Do an apology dance."

So they did and it was actually really good. For a gang of wild animals they had great choreography.

With that settled Slime left Fox and Squirrel in charge while it took the feral gang and some other exploratory minded animals to go into the big city. Slime was itching to see what the other Slime had been up to.

> Huh, there really are humans still around? That's weird. I thought we were all of them? Maybe things are not what they seem...
Sam note: Slime is the human souls from the previous universe (me). Now we're in the universe reborn (also me). What's fun is that while the people of the last universe were colonizing this one I made sure to keep Sol here exactly the same so there would be a fresh crop of humans, and yet history still turned out different. Take that determinism!

I didn't take long for Slime to find Slime and Slime hanging out by the library. The goopy fox rushed over to sweep its ant and crow counterparts into a slimy hug. It was such a warm and comfy hug that all of Slime merged back together, taking on wolf shape once again. The AI were looking rather nonplussed at this (Librarian was watching on from an advertising display screen she had taken over), but Wolf just shrugged. "That's Slime for ya, what a goof."

"Well, anyway" Foreman grumbled "We was going over what you need to take you up north."

A: Hovercraft
B: All terrain train
C: Biiiig Vtol

"As well, you need some pilots. I can't leave the library untended, so not me." said Librarian "Also I need to keep Coordinator distracted so he doesn't blab."

E: track down some true ai to pilot
F: Adapt the controls to animal pilots
G: Adapt animals to use the controls

Foreman turned his huge body to peer between the buildings to the distant shore. The bulk of an evacuation ship occupies the horizon, nearly as long as the city. "Ya know, that thing's not doing anything. Could get it sea worthy without too much work. Make a hell of an ice breaker."

J: Not yet, save it for later
K: Won't that take forever?
L: That's way too big

>Take that determinism!
What about the quantum foam? What about all the other atoms of the universe? Determinism only holds in a closed system. If there is *any* outside interference, no matter how small, tiny changes can snowball into larger ones. Not always, of course, because some things are self-reinforcing, but the more changes the more likely it is to turn out different.

B. Tank treads should work ok.
E. I suspect they will exist in any appliance not mass-produced for residential use.
K, but that's not really a problem. Setting Foreman on it as a long-term project would be fine. Plus it gives our growing animal civilization something to do.

Everybody got carried away with the design process and in the end all the ideas got used. It was Foreman's greatest creation yet. a Vtol cargo plane, which could also achieve high speed as hovercraft. (If say, you needed to sneak under the radar to visit a research base) It also had treads for backup. Slime and Foreman decided to build three for this expedition.

Foreman got to work, trundling down the city streets and grabbing whatever vehicles and infrastructure looked most mechanical. This netted them not just a ton of resources, but also a slew of AI ripped from delivery drones and information kiosks. Unfortunately determining which were true AI proved to be harder than anticipated, and they ended up at the library, there to be subjected to a battery of tests to see which ones were capable of real thought.

While Foreman's work on the craft neared completion, Librarian declared success. Three AI had been found. While they had come from data infrastructure and would need a lot of training to be able to pilot, they showed great aptitude for learning and a helpful nature.

Slime and a lot of the animals were impatient to be setting off, so the AI were sent to the factory to train under the antgeneers, as Foreman would need help working on the big ship while the expedition was gone.

1128077

When the craft were ready and thoroughly admired it was time to get some crew. Foreman was considering how to make the controls. With so many different animals, and likely more to join the growing community, it would be a lot of work to make controls that all could use. Slime decided it would be a lot easier to just alter some of the animals. Just a few tweaks, like upright posture, opposable thumbs, greater height.

Suggest some animals to make the change. and some that are just coming along for the ride.

You can't keep a rat from messing with stuff, weather they be regular, tree, or sky variety. Crows rats and squirrels all got treatment to be mechanics and pilots, with little uniforms and adorable oversized wrenches.

To keep everyone on task some cats were also modified, since cats like to boss people around. And to keep the cats in check some more crows.

Filling out the rest of the expedition was a variety of regular style animals. Birds, bugs, squirrels, some deer, and Wolf. There were actually quite a lot of volunteers to pick from, as the slime infection had spread by seed, spore and microbe to at this point encompass the entire city surroundings.

With the crewing settled it was time to set out.
Should Slime go with or keep working in the city?
A) Slime should accompany the expedition Slime realized it should just split up again and so it did.

Travel was nice and quick, the miles flying by underneath much to the novel delight of the non avian passengers. Within the better part of a day the three vtol were close enough to switch to hovercraft mode. Librarian hadn't been sure if a science base would have radar, but better safe than sorry.

There over the ridge was the human base. Massive radio dishes stood over a relatively paltry looking collection of sheds and cabins. But like any animal in the arctic, they likely had much more den bellow ground.

What would Slime's approach for contact be?

A) infiltration
B) Intimidation
C) just use the dang radio and say hi

"Alright" said Slime "I'm going to sneak in. Captain Crow, call their radio in 30 minutes. If they don't want to play nice I'll be there to get em!" Slime and the crew shared an evil chuckling and then Slime set out into the windy cold.

Slime went left.

Quietly it slunk down the hall, slipping into the room at the end to slither behind the human sitting there. Since he was wearing headphones he didn't notice. On the screen in front of him was a bigger human in a sweaty white uniform with some kind of fancy hat.

"No captain, there's been no change. Just like the last dozen times you called. If you doubt the bot's analysis that much you should really come back. I mean, we haven't had any cases. At all."

"Erm well, I-I think..." the fancy dressed man sweated "I'm just going to run it by the machine experts again. Just to be safe. I'll uh, I'll let you know what they say." the screen went dark.

"Well I tried. What can you do?" the man in the headset threw up his hands in defeat and leaned back, squishing against Slime.

"Whoa boy! Don't sneak up on a guy like that. How'd you get- wait a minute..."

If you are planning to absorb the human (or any human for that matter), ensure that their immune systems are boosted and/or inoculated after restoring them. If there IS a 'second influenza', its likely you absorbed it at some point and/or might be a carrier and would have to ensure the outside world is safe for humans again (you are effectively a permanent cure/vaccine).

Another possibilty, if able to directly affect the brain of those you recreate, is to give the human a bit of your memories/knowledge (do you share memories when rejoining your splits?) or basic details of what is going on as a sort of flashback tutorial to being a slime and be less inclined to panic.

Hmm, now I'm worried that slime absorption might also make viruses, bacteria and microscopic lifeforms sentient (and we haven't noticed it yet), and would most certainly affect parasite lifeforms (fleas, ticks, tapeworms, etc). That might become a problem for most of the sentient animals harboring them.

Also, humans wear clothes you can't absorb and consider nudity indecent. That might send the wrong message to any witnesses.

What's the 'smallest unit' of slime a slime can assimilate and convert, exactly? It might help to know if slime can turn bacteria, viruses, microorganisms or (most existentially worryingly) individual living cells sentient, or are those 'too small' for that / absorbed and replaced with singular mass.

And if any slime has reached the ocean, whether the entire krill and micro-fauna of the ocean has become sentient and is propagating more sentience to the entire aquatic population.

> Wait, do the creatures that slime assimilates speak human language, or is it some weird psychic hivemind thing?

Sam note: You know what, I forget. It just kind of gets in the way doesn't it. Since they've all been steeped in raw humanity, might as well say they can talk to humans. Captain Crow was just being silly.

Slime pantomimed behind the human's back, that Captain Crow should keep this guy busy while Slime prepared an ambush. Captain Crow couldn't tell what on earth Slime was trying to convey with it's wiggling, but figured it would just keep messing around.

"Gracaw ca-caw caw" Captain Crow said in his finest orator's voice, gesticulating wildly. The human was entranced, as anyone would be by crow antics. He didn't even notice when Slime stealthily slammed a filing cabinet in front of the door. Nor when Slime split in two and subtly, loudly sloshed it's way under the door to guard the hall.

"Okaaaaay what are you trying to say?" the human guy mused "You're an alien?"

"Caw"

"No. hmmm."

"Grawgrawgraw, caw caw"

"Oh! You're an uplifted animal and your crew of animal friends are here to take over."

"Caw caw, caw?"

"And your leader is disguised as a... dog."

"What? No I was just saying 'caw'. How did you get all that?"

"Wait a minute..."

Slime spread update: a fair portion of the pacific northwest had been infected, as well as several hundred miles offshore. Microbes and such, being too small to hold a proper consciousness, instead shared a sort of collective dreaming and thus were completely aware of what was happening. They would happily inform all organisms small enough to hear them, who could then tell the larger animals just what the heck was going on. Perfect, if only a mass of tiny thoughts was capable of being coherent.

Now Slime could just bring the human back just as he was, orrrrrrrrr
This is prime opportunity to do something silly.

Since we're in a human compound, and humans tend to be irrational when faced with something as alien as yourself, it might be worth checking with other slimes if is there any particular chemical reaction or substance that can neutralize or destroy slime?

E.g. if the humans try to whip out flamethrowers, liquid nitrogen, or various chemicals onto you or other slimed creatures, could that potentially 'kill' a conscious slime?

Slime spit Guy out whole and hale and almost the same as he was before, except sans clothes. Guy didn't seem to mind, going over to a closet and pulling out a jacket and pants.

"Well, that was weird." Guy patted his pockets and pulled out a pack. "Oh, do mind if I smoke?"

Slime spit out Guy's lighter "Not at all. I got rid of your cancer so you're good to go!"

"Aw, little buddy, you didn't have to do that. Wasn't really thinking I'd live past thirty."

"Oh, uhhhh. I'm not sure you can do that anymore."

A commotion out in the hallway interrupted things. Guy sighed and got up "Don't worry buddy, I'll take care of them."

While Guy was moving the filing cabinet from in front of the door, Slime quickly told Captain Crow to bring the ride around in case things went poorly. Maybe land it on the roof, be sneaky.

Guy got the door open to reveal a group of freshly slimed humans all shouting at once.
"Guy did you see that thing?"
"It went in the vent! We gotta get the vents locked down!"
"Guy do you still have those spare clothes in there?"

Guy took a slow drag of his cig "Nope, nothing in here. Just a weird transmission, but sounds like that can wait. Sorry Nance, spare's in the wash."

"Well stay here and block the vents. Let everyone know we got a green thing on the loose."
"What's that on your head?:

"Its a hat." said Guy "you know I'm a furry."

"Yeah Tom, he's a furry. We don't have time for this! Let's go!"
"Alright alright! sheesh. thought his sona was a fox though."
"It looks nice Guy. See you later."

So uh, if humanity (and every other creature for the forseeable future) is functionally immortal, that opens up a big can of worms.

1) Overpopulation issues - nobody dying while still needing resources and being able to reproduce is not a fun scenario. Especially for species whoch high numbers and high reproduction rates (e.g. a swarm of locusts or mosquitos).

2) Immortality needs to account for creatures aging (from baby to adult, to elder) or things get very weird/painful. Time perception speeds up as one ages, and people might go a bit insane or bored.

3) Slimed creatures will want to reproduce or have children. What exactly will a slime-baby inherit as far as intelligence, immortality, aging and such goes? Might need to figure out a soluation for that.

Though, given that Guy seemed to understand Crow, and humans are already somehow getting slimed despite just arriving, it seems an offshoot or something else somehow beat you to the punch.

Maybe crawling through the vents somehow made you able to spread through inhalation (i.e. you are airborne now)?

Or perhaps you aren't the only slime out there? You might have a friend/rival slime out there doing the same thing you are. Maybe they're blue or pink or something.

"So how'd you get the fellas in the hallway while you were in here anyway? You got a buddy out there?"

Slime blinked "Wait, how did I? Did I split again? But surely I would remember. Oh no there's a slime I don't know on the loose! Quick we gotta get on the coms and warn everybody how to deal with it!"

Guy handed Slime the mike and went to cover the vent with a box. Slime thumbed (so to speak) the intercom on. "Hey everyone. Never mind who I am, this is an emergency. There's a slime being on the loose and you need to catch it before it gets you all. Not that being slime is so bad. In fact you should really consider- no that's not important right now! We need to catch it!"

>>1130935
Clearly, the memory wiping was intentional on the part of the other slime (evil slime) so it could do something the animals wouldn't agree with while we (good slime) have the alibi of first-contacting with the humans. Thus, to figure out what the evil slime is trying to do, we must think of something that would be repugnant to the animals, such as... blowing up the research base! Yes, that's what evil slime is trying to do! C: Ask Guy what the most explosive area on the base is, and set up a trap there!

>>1130938
This is a stationary artic base. Why would it have engines? Plus, a bright and cold passage way up is probably outside.

>>1130936
Let's try to think why we would split up. The only reasonable explanation would be that we needed one half to distract everybody, (comms slime) while the other half (vent slime) does some sort of subterfuge. Thus, vent slime should go deeper into the base by choosing option F.
>>
No. 1130940 ID: 8f3058

A) As a viscous, fluid-like slime, you are likely affected by the basic laws of physics and thermodynamics. High temperature will likely make you more like a liquid (flowing uncontrollably, but also much faster), but could also kill your offshoot if it pasteurizes or sterilizes you. Low temperature will likely make yoy more like a solid (sluggish, or possibly freeze). Humans can wear full hazmat suits since you prpbably can't cut or stab things.

B) Could be achieved if you get heated up and effectively forced into a puddle-like form, or tricked to pass through a sieve or mesh-like opening to split into a ton of small fragments. Could also have it enter a pipework that loops a lot.

C) Keep broadcasting so the offshoot hears the message from you and is given proper directions, or tell the humans to try diplomacy with it / that 'slime prime' asked to wait.

E) Seems like it could be a refridgerated. sciency area. Probably more people there too.

F) Could be some empty engimeerimg area, boiler room or such.

As such my votes are A) Fire extinguishers, liquid nitrogen and hazmat suits, C) Keep the message on repeat but make it clear its from slime prime, or to backtrack to comms.

For offshoot, go to E). Probably more interestimg stuff there.
>>
No. 1130941 ID: 8f3058

>>1130939
An artic base needs heating - lots of it. It's probably a boiler room, power generator or some other kind of basement machine that produces heat. And possibly has drones working there.

Cool and bright is either outside, or a well-lit area that needs cooling (freezer closet, science lab).

No. 1130942 ID: 8f3058

Ideally the container is big enough, can't be opened from inside with force (i.e. no corks, bottlecaps or screw-lids) and is airtight. A gas tank or mason jar, for example.

As for getting the slime into such a container, maybe a water-washing vacuum cleaner? It should suck up the slime and safely deposit it into a liquid container (and the centrifuge effect inside will confuse it).

A) Janitor with a hazmat suit and a wet (uses a water container instead of a paper bag) vacuumm cleaner.

Slime went down into the safe warm. Warmer and warmer, until it was way too hot. Slime shot out of the next opening and found itself in a little control room with a big window.

Slime looked out over a huge and icy cavern. Rows and rows of seeds in all sorts of shapes, all frozen safe in their little cubbies. "Score" Slime grinned.

But it wasn't grinning a minute later when it took a step into the cold cold storage hall. Turned out a slime stepping on ice had the same effect as when a human licked a cold pole. Slime retreated back into the control room after agonizingly peeling itself off the floor.

For 'evil' slime:
A) Seems like the best option of the three (not counting meta-knowledge that the humans are actively searching for you). Just smuggle yourself on someone.

B) Is a very bad idea, as it could lead getting harmed (explosion/heat) or it working too well and freezing/overheating everything and leading to a lot of creatures and plants dying.

C) Is a bad idea because the outside is also likely cold/frozen.

D) Throw/toss slime globs at the plants (if not enclosed) like spitballs or snowballs to remotely slime the plants.

E) Commendeer some warm clothes and proceed into cold storage witH extra insulation. There's bound to be a warm uniform around for a place like this.
