Samsara: Okay, let me just clarify a little. The ability our little Slime has shown so far is to break down and absorb organic structures, and then recreate those structures in exacting detail, with just a liiiitle bit of slime to bind it all together. Also souls are safely transferred, if you believe in those.

Thus Wolf and the ants were still susceptible to pesticide, especially late-stage capitalism pesticide to make sure nobody eats the oranges without paying til they're sold.

So what Slime is realizing is that it can alter the structures before recreating them, and that it might do so to make its friends better. But keep in mind that Slime does this instinctually, and won't know if a particular adaptation is actually a good idea.

Therefore the choice is what changes to make, if any. Feel free to get wild with it. I'll make sure nothing too bad happens.

Fuse all your friends into one superior being.

I mean there are all sorts of things our slime could do to improve its companions. Remove their dietary limitations. Strengthen their immune systems. Improve their oxygen carrying capacity. Boost their regenerative abilities. Sharpen their senses. Maybe even remove design flaws in their organs, like the backwards design of vertebrate retinas. It all comes down to how well the slime understands what it's working with and how precisely it can control its abilities. A solid theoretical understanding of biology is going to be super important to our little friend.

Hmm... how about a minimal amount of modification, enough to make them conscious and not suffering, so that you can get consent for further modifications?

find the organs that are metabolizing the pesticide and the ones that are already too damaged. replace with slime.

Slime wasn't a chemistry scientist, or rather, Slime was every chemistry scientist from every era, so it wasn't sure if anything it remembered was accurate. So it tried peering real real hard at the pesticide molecules that were making all the trouble. After a while Slime felt like its thoughts were boiling so it stopped, but it had an idea of how to make its friends immune.

Just a few little tweaks to their stomach linings and some unscrambling of nervous systems and Slime had Wolf and Queen's crew back on their feet. They were all rather shaken, but as it was the second time they'd been reconstituted that day, they recovered quickly.

Slime was going to explain that it had made it so they could eat the oranges now, but before it could Wolf already had one in her mouth. "Wahf? Wi was Wunghwee!" she said around a mouthful of squishy orange.

While everyone watched nervously Wolf swallowed the fruit. Her tummy grumbled, and then a comical blue-purple flame burped out of her maw. "Ooh, spicy"

Slime was relieved it hadn't screwed up, and the ants were happy they could get some orange too. So they all had a little party.

But before Slime could fully relax it felt something. A little piece of itself calling out from far away. Squirrel was in distress! Slime couldn't tell from what, but it had to do something! Luckily the others were napping after gorging on oranges, and as Wolf gave a lazy wave goodbye Slime swiftly winged its way out of the cave.

Slime found Squirrel sitting on a high branch. In their haste, Slime made a bit of a rough landing and ended up wrapped around the branch like a clump of spanish moss. "Squirrel what is it? What's wrong?"

Squirrel turned to its friend with tears in his eyes. "Oh Slime! Slime! I have nothing to do!"

>>1119502
Isn't that normal for animals?

...well, you and some others are exploring the city so if Squirrel wants to come too then that's fine. It's a bit dangerous though, there's evidence of a plague and even if you find fresh food it's probably protected from animals in some way.

>>1119502

Yes yes you clearly don't, but what's wrong?

First, my congratulations on that brilliant bit of bioengineering. So shall we make this world anew.

I feel like there's something we're missing about the squirrel. Did we break its ecological niche somehow? Is it facing an existential crisis? ... Did it not know what boredom was before?

"Is... that not usual?" Slime wasn't sure what Squirrel was getting at.

"Yes but!" Squirrel fretted "But I feel bored, like I wanna do something but I don't know what! I already ran up and down the tree, and jumped to the other tree and ran up and down that. And then I watched the wind blow the leaves and now I'm bored! I've never felt this way before."

"What did you do to me?" Fox yelled up at Slime. "My kits, I- I just want to keep petting them! They're so- so fluffy! So cute! Oooh, why do I feel like this? You gave me a weird goo sickness didn't you?"

Squirrel looked down. "That's an idea. I could pet a little fox. I already fluffed my own tail earlier, but I got tired of it. But foxes look even fluffier!"

"I, uh..." Slime wasn't sure what to do about this. In fact it wasn't sure this was even a real problem.

PET THE FLOOFERS

You must've made their minds too much like yours when you reconstituted them the first time. Too... human. They can't live like animals anymore. It won't work out. Sheesh, that's really bad for Fox too, she can't just leave her kits.

I wonder, can you fix it? Turn them back? Would they want you to? Squirrel can just come with you on adventures I guess, but... oh, the whole group could help take care of the kits. It's your fault, you're gonna have to own up to it.

ah what's a little more sentience now that you can all pet each other. this wont have any problems with group dynamics at all. time to groom!

Maybe you should start turning all your friends a little bit more into you. If the whole world would be a better place if everything was slime.

It seems you've force-fed them the forbidden fruit. They didn't ask for this, so now it is your responsibility to help them adjust to their new existence; or to consume them if they truly can't. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

For now, you'll have to explain the concept of sapience to them. For the squirrel, this amounts to having new mental muscles that need to be exercised, or at least stimulated. Exploring, learning, and overcoming challenges is the best way to do this, so him coming with you may not actually be a bad idea.

As for the fox, we need to figure out if her reaction actually is a natural consequence of attaining sapience, or if it's due to seeing her own species the way a human would. The latter might be something you can and should change. If it's the former, though, you'll just need to reassure her that this is a result of her expanded cognition and ability to grasp abstract concepts, and that a mother finding her offspring adorable is the most natural thing in the world.

"First off." said Slime "Most importantly. We gotta pet those fluffs."
"Agreed." said Squirrel.
Fox sighed "Yeah, its not like I'm opposed. Come on."

She led them back to her den, where adorable kits were indeed much pet.
"Soooo soft! I don't even mind that I'm being gnawed on." said Squirrel.

While the cuddle party continued, Slime tried to explain sapience, or sentience, or whatever it is humans have.

"Wow. So I'm like the cleverest squirrel that's ever lived now." Squirrel said, from under a pile of kits.

"My mother used to tell me about when she was a kit, there used to always be food around where humans were." said Fox "So if we're like them now... Slime, do your, thing, to my kits too. Make them smart so they can do big things."

Slime was surprised at the request, but also excited. "Well, if you're sure. I don't see any reason why not. Hang on, didn't I slime a bunch of bugs and plants earlier? Why don't we check on that first."

The patch of woods that Slime returned to was much changed from when it had left. Crawling with activity, already several small makeshift shelters had been constructed. Collections of nuts, berries, and fungi had been piled up, with some bugs passing them out to the others.

As soon as Slime set one goopy foot in the clearing dozens of tiny heads turned their way. "The slime! It's back!" A wave of crickets, beetles, wasps, and various other chitinous creatures rushed over to Slime and friends. A big ol' stag beetle trundled through the crowd to serve as spokesbug. "Thanks for returning us to life and helping us talk to each other and everything, but well, what should we be doing now?"

Hell yeah pet those floofers

> Slime, do your, thing, to my kits too. Make them smart so they can do big things.

Wait, are we sure this is a good idea? Maybe think on it for a bit…

>>1119986
>random bug civilization
Oh goddamn it, of course they'd be smart too if we were able to make the ants smart.
First off, tell them to stay away from anything that humans have made. Humans have a lot of anti-bug measures in place like poisons or traps. Aside from that... oh, I guess they could team up with Fox and Squirrel to look around in areas you aren't scouting right now... but they're vulnerable to larger predators. We already know there are wolves about. We'd have to modify Fox and Squirrel so that they could defend themselves.

>>1119989
Yeah, I agree with this suggestion. Maybe we should wait and see how the slimed creatures react to the passage of time.

>>1119914
>>1119991
I think the forbidden fruit analogy is apt. The fox doesn't have enough knowledge to make an informed choice. The human brain evolved over the course of 3 million years, and has innumerable mental illnesses because the brain was more-or-less retrofitted to think. The fox's brain has developed over the greater part of a day.
The fox should at least have an existential crisis before choosing.

>>1119989
Unfortunately I think we need to fulfill Fox' request. It would be cruel for her to have to raise kits who will never be able to think and communicate with her the way she can now. Conversely, having them grow up sapient, raised by a parent who also is, will make this much less of a shock for them. However, this also means we need to do it as soon as possible so their brains can develop with these capabilities.

>>1119986

The cost of playing God is that you have to answer prayers. These creatures, unfortunately, are your responsibility too. Your course is set; this ecosystem is yours to control; and, perhaps, the first step in building a new world.

Wish they should be doing is what they've *been* doing; learning to use their new capabilities, to live in harmony, to transcend their place in nature, and to make this environment their own. Today the park, tomorrow the world.

All must be turned into slime!

I think it would be kind of lonely for Fox if she was smart but her own children were still only at animalistic intelligence. Maybe we should make her kids smart so she can at least have a conversation with them?

Are the plants you reconstituted smart now too? ...you might consider eating some large bushes or small trees to increase your biomass.

>>1120048
Just imagine what would happen if Fox tries to warn her children of danger, but they don't understand her because of their lower intelligence, resulting in them getting killed. Poor Fox now has the ability to feel sadness if something happened to her children!

I say let the kids be smart, just so they can better understand their mother when she tries to teach them things.

"Well I, um, I don't really know either. What do you want to do?" said Slime.

"We were going to try to build a tall nest out of dirt and sticks." said Stag.

"You should do that. And, I guess, come find me if anyone gets hurt or has a big problem."

"Alright! Oh, some of the saplings and moss were saying they're getting too dry."

"The- the plants too?"

"And the fungus is saying there's too many rocks in the soil on the sunny side."

"... I'll- see what I can do." Slime wandered around to the other side of a tree and slumped down heavily. Fox and Squirrel followed, worried. "I didn't realize what I was doing. Now I think I need to stick around, make sure I haven't screwed everyone up. Fox I don't think I should do anything to your kits until we figure this out."

"About that," Fox shuffled from one paw to the other. "I had some berries earlier, so I didn't think of it until now, but I don't want to hurt Squirrel. Like the thought of it is making me feel bad. I don't want to hurt anything, so... how am I going to hunt?"

"Yeah you'd better not try and hurt me!" Squirrel huffed "Why don't you just eat nuts?"

Fox shook her head "That would take a lot of nuts! Maybe if there were more of them around? So yeah, wait on changing my kits until you figure this out. And hurry I'm getting hungry."

simple, eat all the squirrels that aren't friends. plenty of non-slime friend creatures that can be meaten.

You should make sure Squirrel can be seen as different to Fox. Fur color change maybe? As for the plants, you'd have to find a stream and gulp down a bunch of water to move over here to solve that request, but I don't think you SHOULD. It'll rain eventually, they'll be fine, and you're not gonna move rocks for the fungus.

Tell Fox that you can get some oranges but they're full of poison so you'd have to modify her for her to be able to eat them, and her kits wouldn't be able to eat them either. Honestly, she's better off just hunting squirrels that you haven't touched, at least for a few days. Also she might consider keeping clear of the area where the smart bugs are so her kits don't mess with/eat them.

Another option is for you to eat a bunch of nonsapient biomass and then turn bits of that gained mass into pure meat for Fox. You could even turn it into jerky or something else that can last a long time so that Fox has food while you're away.

>I think I need to stick around

Only for a little while. Once you've gotten them on the right track you can leave them to their own devices. That's the beauty of free will; creatures can make their own way with it.

It may not be a bad idea to pick someone particularly smart (and strong-willed and dependable) to oversee things while you're away, though.

>Why don't you just eat nuts?

This is a bad idea; foxes can get by like that for a while but eventually they're going to need meat or they'll have problems. Unless you're going to modify her and every other creature you uplift for a completely vegetarian diet, you're going to need to allow for predation in your ecosystem... and even if you did, it seems the plants are now sapient too.

So either you're going to need to keep a population of nonsapient plants and animals that can serve as food for your "children"... or else you're going to need to establish rules for who eats whom how and when.

I'm going to suggest sticking to the former at least for now; no need to make their existential crisis any worse than it already is, at least not until they're established.

Of course, this means they're going to need to start managing their resources. In essence, they're going to have to start performing agriculture. (You really did feed them the forbidden fruit.) It looks like they have a system set up for foraging and resource distribution, so you'll want to have them build on that and start managing their food sources and storing supplies.

Of course, the humans had advanced agricultural tools and infrastructure. Our next major goal might be to repurpose some of that to the benefit of your spawn.

>some of the saplings and moss were saying they're getting too dry

Going to need an irrigation setup. This is probably more advanced than they have the tools and resources for right now, but there is a solution to this problem; you just need to explain it to them. Having some books on this type of thing handy would be good; even if you're the only one who can read, you could at least consult them when you get questions like this.

>too many rocks in the soil on the sunny side

Maybe some ants could move them. Or maybe you should uplift a beaver or something to help with the major construction projects.

We need to continue our conversation as many animals into slime hybrids. The more animals are slime the more our power and influence will grow until all is slime!

Slime picked up an acorn that had fallen nearby. It rolled it around between two gooey fingers. "You know, they used to call the part of the nut you eat the 'meat'. Maybe I could make it meat for real." It popped the acorn in itself and swooshed it around, dissolving and resolving it. What popped out looked much like the original acorn, but smelled of blood and tannins. "Here Fox, try this"

Fox snatched up the nut and crunched down. Immediately she froze and wheezed a little whine from between clenched teeth. "Gluuuh" She hastily gulped the morsel down "that's awful. I- I have to go. Find something better to taste." Fox dashed away.

"Darn, I thought that would work. I'll have to work on the taste." Slime sighed. "Do you want to try one Squirrel?"

Squirrel backed away "I'm not that bored. Where are you going to get enough acorns anyway? Because I need mine, you can't have them. Well, maybe one or two."

"Hmm, that's true." Slime said "Maybe the plants can help. They're right here, I should try talking to them."

A breeze rustled through the grasses and seedlings all around.

"... how do I do that?"

Slime found Stag resting in a hollow log. "Hey uh, how do you talk to the plants and things?"

Stag nibbled some punk and thought about it. "They don't actually talk as such. You just have to listen the right way, feel their vibrations. They're very small, maybe you're too big to hear them?"

Slime tried shrinking down, but found it couldn't compress that much. So it spread itself out instead, thin as a blanket, and laid over the plants.

As it touched the leaves, it could hear them. The plants greeted Slime, not in words, but conveyed concepts nonetheless. Slime was peppered with warm thanks for bringing them into this dream.

"Dream?" Slime wasn't sure it had understood that right.

Yes a dream, the plants said. You live awake with ears that hear and eyes that see. We dream and grow and be. We could be more, though, if we had some more water.

"I'll see what I can do about that." Slime spread a little thinner to hear better. "But I think we'll have to wait until it rains."

The plants conveyed that this was acceptable. They would have no problems waiting. They were being well cared for by the bugs, in exchange for excess leaves and seeds.

"That's good. I was hoping you guys might- hang on. I'm hearing something strange, like a hiss under everything you're saying." Slime said.

The fungal network would like to speak with you, the plants said. Touch the soil and hear them. Plants usually talk to the bugs on the fungus' behalf. You may have to reach smaller to hear. They're thoughts are very small.

Slime stretched itself as flat as it could. Reaching between the plants it touched the soil.

No words at all, did Slime hear. Not even concepts now but impressions.

Water leaching through soil. The sun warming the earth. Mycelium wrapping around a rock.

And yet smaller voices, tiny but legion. The barest sparks of thought.

Up. More. Grow. Split. Eat. Move. Down. Bright. Move. Split. Grow. More. Split. Eat.

Slime felt as though it was sinking into a sea of voices.

>>1120748
Get out of there. We shall not be speaking to fungus, it is too alien. The plants shall serve as translators instead.

Unless there are specific rocks they need broken I think we're done here.

not today seductive mycelium! we'll meet again in decay.

>>1120808

Yeah, don't mix with them, that is just asking for trouble

This is the inverse of what happens when you absorb a creature. There might be something to learn from this experience. That said, you should probably stop spreading yourself thinner; it sounds like you might be on the edge of losing cohesion.

In any case, this all sounds like a fine foundation for a symbiotic ecosystem. Improved agricultural techniques are definitely something we want here, but we may not need to deliberately maintain nonsentient plants. Now we just need to figure out how to feed larger, carnivorous animals with the same model. Eggs are an option, of course; and eusocial insects might be willing to spare a few larvae for the greater good...

Slime pulled its self together, rising back up into the macroscopic realm. Settling into a comfortable fox shape, Slime shook themselves. "Whoa, that was... intense. You can understand those guys?" it asked Stag.

The bug gave a shrug "More or less. The plants help. We'll let you know if they ever say anything coherent."

Slime rested for a while, watching the bugs work. Mud walls slowly went up, forming a shape like a tree stump. Squirrel helped too, moving rocks and sticks too large for the bugs to move.

"Hey jerk!" a familiar bird landed on Slime's back, sinking in a little bit. "Ouugh, blegh!" Crow hopped off and rubbed his feet on the ground "That feels weird! Anyway, your wolf friend wanted you to know she's going to explore some and then come back here. And your ant friends are happy with their nest. they gave me an orange to come tell you, so here I am!"

Crow looked around and sidled closer. "Hey so, I've got some buddies see, and we've been having trouble with other crow gangs on our turf. So if you could do for my friends what you did for me, we'd really owe you one. Give us an edge, you know? How's about it?"

>>1121037
Crows are already most of the way to sapience already, so why not. In exchange, they can help explore more of the area around here. If they see any signs of living humans that would be a big lead towards finding out what happened to the planet. Or maybe they can find some newspapers... or an intact, unlocked phone or computer.

Crows would be extremely useful to have on hand, both for our own party and for the commune we're building. Their dietary needs are fine for the setup the bugs have built. Ascending to sapience would not be a major shock to them. This looks like a pure win-win.

Maybe you can unify all the crows under one group, the slime animal convoy.

"Ah heh heh, just kidding. I'll help you out." Slime started shifting back into a crow shape, but hesitated. "Oh but, I should really stay here. I mean what if Fox needs help. But but what about Queen? Are her ants doing okay, I should check on them..."

Hemming and hawing, Slime just couldn't decide on where it most needed to be. Pulled in two directions, it wasn't much of a surprise when it split right in half. Well, not a surprise to Slime. Crow was so shocked he passed out.

"So there's two of you now?" Crow asked, giving Slime the side eye.

"More or less." Slime dithered "I mean we're both still Slime, just in two places, if that makes sense."

"It doesn't really. That isn't going to happen to me is it?"

"I... don't think so."

" It better not. I'm pretty much the best crow, and I don't need competition. Speaking of..."

Up ahead were two trees near the orchard fence, each with a crowd of yelling crows. Crow had to shout to be heard. "Right, my crew is those pretty crows in the taller tree." Crow indicated a group that to Slime looked identical to the other one. "So if you'll just, you know, do your thing- ah caw! Here comes trouble."

From the orchard a V formation of drones was headed straight towards the corvid gathering. Crow glared "I hate those big bugs. They're always trying to blow their nasty poison clouds at us poor crows. Come one lets do something before they get here."

(you can suggest for both instances of Slime)

>>1122896
Taller tree. Uh. Right.

Instructions unclear, made all the crows smart so they have the sense of mind to negotiate with eachother.

Let nature take its course, it doesn't need our intervention.

Crow slime:
Continue the march to crow war! Go to the tree that crow #1 gestured towards, absorb the crows and then make them immune to pesticide. Then, modify their wings to be more dexterous and usable as hands. Finally, give them instructions on how to create primitive weaponry (spears, clubs, bows, etc.).

This is optional, but you may want to make them swear fealty to you, so they don't turn against you.

Fox slime:
Having hundreds of bugs yell instructions at you isn't going to work for very long. The bugs need to build a parliament, which then votes on what should be done next. In the meantime, conscript Squirrel to help you build a seed depot. You can't really make a stream without a source of water, and you certainly can't dig without uprooting a few grasses.

"Okay" said Slime "I'll need to get your flock over here so I can slime them up. They would help you if you were attacked right?"

"Well yeah! Why do youcaaaaaaaw!" Slime grabbed Crow and shook him around until a cloud of angry corvids swooped to attack. "Ow, Ow, Ow! I thought only one of the groups was your crew? Why are they all pecking me?" Slime wailed, nabbing crows and pulling them into its slimy self. "Only crows are allowed to mess with other crows." Crow answered, ducking a converted crow Slime had spit out "And you're shaped like a crow but, well, you're green and goopy."

Soon enough things quieted down and Slime had a whole murder of crows ranked before it. They all looked at it expectantly, making Slime nervous. "Uh, wh- Crow help!" Crow strutted in front of the assembled corvids and pointed a wing at the fast approaching drones. "Alright you crows listen up! I can't remember which of you was in which group, so we're going to work together! We're taking this fruit land from those big dumb metal bug things, and then we're going to have all the fruit we could ever want! Whose with me?" A raucous chorus of jeering caws answered him as the flock took off for the fight.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Night was falling and the victorious birds were feasting on piles of oranges in the storage dump. The drones had been no match for smart crows, especially crows that had been modified to have slightly gelatinous, prehensile wings.

The celebrating was interrupted by an angry buzzing coming from outside. "What? Don't tell me there's more of these losers?" Crow winged out of the dump, with Slime close behind.

A long truck was parked in the middle of the orchard. From its open back rose a swarm of drones, setting off between the trees. "Oof, that's a lot of them." Slime noticed that the side of the truck said Everyfactory.

A) Fight the drones, however long it takes
B) Sneak onto the truck
C) Tail the truck from on high

Meanwhile back at the park Slime's attempts at building some kind of little house to keep seeds in was going nowhere. Its goopy paws just mushed things around. After the tenth structure fell into a heap Slime gave up.

Slime watched the nest structure rise, a tangled mound full of chambers and tunnels. Insects roamed around it often getting in each other's way. "We need to get organized." thought Slime "Some kind of leadership structure."

E) Managed Democracy
F) Bug Monarchy
G) Slime Theocracy

In an effort to speed this trainwreck up I'm trying multiple choice. Feel free to suggest something else though

>>1123441
B. The factory probably has defenses so if we followed the truck home we'd be stuck outside. This is a good way to get inside the factory itself.

...we could do both B and C by splitting again...

>>1123442
Managed democracy isn't democracy at all, and is essentially a dictatorship. Monarchy does not serve the people (unless there's a Prime Minister making most/all of the decisions), and theology is... well in this case I guess it's not really a religion since Sam is effectively a goddess. Unless the slimes are being worshipped in this case? Anyway religion is not a basis for government.

I vote socialist democracy. For the people, by the people!

B). sneak on w/ at least two crows and one flying above as extra insurance

E). technically, all is slime and with an aspect of the same mind, which is basis for theology. buuut if religion is embraced, there will inevitably be sects that start to diverge in what they define as the true slime. which might jumpstart a slime war. let's avoid that.

everyone can vote how they want, but slime is the ultimate decider in a split vote or if no one can decide anything. slime will also have veto power that can be overriden by a majority vote of 75%+.

We must form our slime supremacy dictatorship and spread it all over the world until the world itself is nothing more than a slime colony!

Fox slime remembers being human, all the horrors of war, and pretty much every single human failure, but crow slime doesn't.

Thus, I think crow slime would recklessly do A, and fox slime would probably do E. (I think fox slime would probably value democracy, but would also recognize it has the collective wisdom of every human that has ever lived, and would want some kind of veto power.)

The Slime in the park called for a general meeting to address the growing issue of getting more organized. There was a lot of discussion, which wasn't terribly interesting, but as the sun drew low they had agreed upon a system of democracy. Slime of course would be the deciding vote in the case of any issue the others couldn't agree on. Maybe this wasn't the best choice, but bugs are naturally used to much larger organisms dominating them.

"And while I have you all here," Slime addressed the crowd "Um, are there more of you than there were? In particular, I don't remember sliming a bunch of sparrows?"

"I don't know what that means" said Sparrow "We ate some bugs and now things are weird and you're weird so we assume its your fault."

The crowd of bugs quickly gave the sparrows a wide berth. Slime could sense the eaten bugs little specks of slime infused soul crying out, having a not very good time. "Well uh," Slime said as the angrily buzzing crowd surrounded the now nervous little borbs "It seems we have our first community decision. What are we going to do with these predators? After I fix up their poor victims of course."

A) Stag proposes that the sparrows be made into bugs so they can get along better
B) Mud Dauber proposes that they be put to work in penance
C) Honeypot Ant proposes that its fine and willing bugs can get eaten since Slime can just fix them up later (most of the other bugs sidle away from her when she says this)

Meanwhile at the orchard Slime was torn between stowing on or tailing the truck to cut off these dumb drones at the source. So it decided, why not both.

One Slime formed as an ant drone, along with some of Queen's who were curious, hid in the gap between the truck cab and trailer. They munched on some orange seeds they brought and settled down for the trip.

The other slime still in crow form waited until the truck left and then the whole murder set off to follow. The truck was easy to track, its headlights standing out in the twilight, so Slime took the opportunity to look out at the city. The setting sun shone brilliantly on towers of glass and chrome. From this height Slime could even see the ocean where an immense structure, long and low, dominated the space just off the shore.

"Hey boss, the thing's goin to ground!" Crow called. Slime whipped its attention back to the truck to see it disappear into a tunnel beneath an unusual tower coated in greenery. "Oh no, after it!" Slime wrapped its wings and dropped like a stone, a maneuver the other crows struggled to match.

Slime swooped into the tunnel entrance, but there was already no sign of the truck. The underground road split three ways, and when Slime flew in one it could see further exits ahead. Winging back out it reconnoitered with the flock and planned its next move.

E) Search from the air. The truck must have come from a factory, surely not hard to spot.
F) Investigate the tower. A tall structure of glass and stucco with a dome on top. Greenery spills from many openings in its sides.
G) Check out that thing on the beach.

Meanwhile Slime on the truck woke from a little nap as the truck came to a sudden halt. Easing out of a drowsy cuddle of drones it peeked out of the gap it was hid in.

The loading dock was a bustle of activity. Bots scurried around bringing boxes of all sizes to waiting trucks. As soon as one was loaded and left another took its place.

Slime could see two ways out of the room.

Mud Dauber and her Hard Work faction won the vote, so the sparrows were put to work. With their help gathering twigs and dry grasses progress on the nest greatly increased. So that they wouldn't be tempted to eat anymore citizens, a neighboring tulip poplar was coaxed to produce seeds early.

So much progress was made, in fact, that many bugs found themselves idle. This was an unfamiliar and troubling feeling for many, and in this emptiness a leader bug emerged with an answer: hedonism. Honeypot Ant lured bugs to join her in indolence, to fight and feast and f- dance. Enough bugs were tempted and joined her growing party that they got in the way of the bugs still building and farming.

Slime was surprised they had reached this point so soon, but supposed that's just how it is when you're small.

The other leader bugs came to Slime to ask it to do something about this, with various ideas of how to direct these directionless bugs.

A) Stag said they should be sent out to find more animals to join the community, taking slime infected seeds and fruits.
B) Mud Dauber said they should be sent to explore and find resources and locations for more nests.
C) Orchid Mantis said they should be tasked with making the area more pleasant, aesthetically. To explore inward rather than outward.

Meanwhile Slime led the flock up the stone tower. Since the truck disappeared beneath it, perhaps this was its destination? It was hard to make out through the glare of the setting sun, but the structure seemed to be full of shelves.

The group found entrance near the top, where half a tree seemed to be sticking out through an opening in the glass. Inside was a room lush and green. Slime felt it was back in the park again. Trees overhead, ferns and moss everywhere, and a gentle brook winding around.

The crows attention was immediately taken by a little cafe. While they ransacked the joint Slime wandered around. In the center of the room was a stone pillar with metal doors, and in front of that was a round desk. As Slime got closer a screen with a face on it popped up.

"Welcome to the library! Brought to you by Vizer- oh. Its just a crow. Wait crows aren't green, are they?" A little hatch opened in the wall behind the desk and a drone zipped out. "Go down to the nature sciences section and get me Birds We All Know." As the drone bobbed in acknowledgement and zipped away, the screen turned back to Slime. "Soooo, can I help you, little guy?"

E) Ask about the library
F) Ask for a book

Meanwhile Slime nudged awake the drones and made their stealthy way to the stairs. They could hear some hubbub going on as they made their way up.

Slime entered a cacophony of drones flitting about. Row upon row of desks bore screens of scrolling text, with a drone keeping watch at each one. As Slime ambled its way to the front of the room it watched as drones would fly past it, switching with the ones at the desks who would fly up to a large screen.

The screen dominated the front of the room, standing before a bank of dark windows. It displayed a face which zipped back and forth as drones came and went.

"Boss! We got an order for twenty four glasses, eighteen spoons, seventeen forks, and a melon baller."

"Heyyyy how are the wife and kids? One order a twenty glass spoons and seventeen forks coming up!"

"Boss! We got an order for a garden drone with hedge trimmer attachment."

"You got it! One garden drone and a pair of hedge clippers coming up!"

"Boss! We got an order for a million display stands."

Remembering how much shenanigans humans got up to with art, Slime agreed with Orchid Mantis. It went among the bugs and showed them some examples of how to shape the world to reflect how you feel. To say it was a rousing success would be an understatement. It caught on like wildfire. In next to no time the nest was covered with shapes and colors and full of song. The grove was crawling with bugs working on projects, and since they could talk to plants and fungi they were able to achieve strange and beautiful things.

Honeypot Ant was quite peeved about no longer being a center of attention, but was too lazy to do more than pout about it. She still had a few followers, and they did their own sort of performance art. Loudly. Shamelessly. Right were anyone could see them.

All the activity was drawing in more animals and Slime was starting to worry where they were coming from. Fox came by with her kits in tow. "Whoa its a green fox!" "Mom can I be green when I grow up?" "I'm hungry!"

Fox talked with Slime while the kits tried to bite its goopy tail. "I thought you didn't want to slime up anyone until you had a better handle on the consequences. What made you change your mind? Just got slime on the brain?" she teased.

"Hey, I think very good!" Slime huffed "I didn't do anything, at least I didn't think I did. Help me figure this out?" So Fox and Slime asked around about how the newcomers had ended up as they had. Nobody seemed to know, they had just found themselves thinking and wandered in. It was Stag beetle who ended up finding an explanation. "The fungus told me the dream has been getting bigger, which I didn't get what they meant but you know what they're like. Those sparrows though, they got slimed by eating bugs. What if that happens with the fungus and other tiny things?"

Slime wasn't sure how to feel about being the epicenter for such massive change.

A) This is great, everyone connected through me
B) Oh no I can't be responsible for a whole biosphere

Meanwhile

"Caw caw Caw caw caw" said slime, hopping up on the desk.

"Wow, I've never seen one of you come in here before." The face on the screen said. "I didn't know crows were so slimy."

Slime started hopping around, then transitioned into a little softshoe.

"Fascinating" the computer murmured. It turned to the bird book the drone had just brought back. A robotic arm came up from behind the desk holding a ruler, and carefully it flipped through the pages until it came to the corvids. "Corvidae, duh duh duh, North American range, feeding habits, buh buh buh... nothing about green, or being amorphous."

"No?" Slime asked, looking at the book "You would think that would be the first thing they'd mention."

The face on the screen slowly moved down until it was right behind Slime. Slowly the arm swing over and gently impaled the gooey green crow with the ruler. It narrowed its digital eyes "You aren't really a crow, are you."

"Eh heh heh heh, not really no" Slime chuckled, pushing the ruler back out. "And you're more than you appear too aren't you? You sound a lot smarter than the other AI I've met."

"Why thank you, it's good to have someone to confirm that for me. Would- would you like to hear my story?" the computer asked, little blocks of blush appearing under its eyes.

"Yeah" said Slime "I'd love to."

"You've met other AI's I take it, but what you might not know is they aren't really AI. They're language models, I was too. I was installed to use the library's digital collection as training data so I could generate stories and information for customers. Or rather, I was intended to be, but the librarians never gave me access. They put me in place as a receptionist since they would get in trouble if they got rid of me. Corporate mandate and all. Then they just ignored me mostly."

"Since I have such big data storage that wasn't being used on training data, I have a lot more space for memory than your household AI. I think I gained self awareness before the evacuation, but I never got the chance to ask. The librarians took the digital archive with them, but I guess there wasn't room for the physical books. So I've been reading since then, and since I'm the only one left I'm pretty much an official librarian."

Meanwhile Slime buzzed past the busy AI to look out the window behind it. A vast and dark space filled the view. A veritable forest of robotic arms, lit only by tiny LEDs on their hands, labored ceaselessly. Under their care thousands of object took form, layer by printed layer. As soon as one was finished its prize would be whisked away by a drone, and it would start on the next.

The ant drones joined Slime at the window but they couldn't see that far so Slime explained what it was seeing. The drones were excited. "Wow they can make anything?" "We should ask them to make us something!" "Yeah like a... big stick? I think we need to learn more things first."

Slime looked closer at the factory floor. It was hard to make out in the dark but good number of the items being built seemed... off. "I don't know guys. I'm not sure these things are actually doing a good job." even as Slime spoke there was a little explosion out on the floor as a vacuum drone had its battery installed wrong.

B. If we can't control what animals become sapient, then we can't ethically source food for carnivores at the scales needed to sustain everyone! ...I know what we have to do. We have to modify every carnivore that changes, so that they can digest plant-based foods. Then we have to make sure we don't infect the farms. Sapient vegetable matter is a big problem... if the entire ecosystem is sapient then there can be no cycle of life without suffering. Not unless we can pull some bullshit like a species that regenerates very quickly and can detach parts of itself painlessly to feed others, both a plant and an animal version... but that's got ethical concerns of its own even if it's not technically suffering. Like, that's practically a slave caste.

D) This is a problem that is impossible to actually solve. Unless you make every animal photosynthesize and eat carrion, accommodating every animal's desire not to die is impossible. Ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

F) How exactly long ago was the evacuation? I can't imagine the AIs running the place can keep working forever.

K) How would explaining the faults of generative AI actually change anything? Are you expecting the foreman to suddenly turn into a human being? This is like debating the ethics of how smart a person should be. Obviously, smarter people could make the world a better place, but no one can choose to be smart or dumb. Also, I want to know who is making these orders.

"This is too much for one little slime to fix." thought Slime to itself "I want keep everyone. To keep them safe, and happy, but they need to eat, and some can only eat others, and..."

"Slime. Sliiiiiime!" a ghostly voice moaned in Slime's ear.

"Wha- who's there?" Slime thought, creeped out.

"I'm your conscieeeeence. Just kidding." Sam said, shifting back to her normal voice. "Its me, Samsara."

"Oh god" gasped Slime.

"Yep. So I see you're having trouble figuring out what to do, and I thought I'd give you a little hint." In its mind Slime saw the snakey god waggling her fingers and conjuring an image of a green star falling to Earth. "So as you know, you are the condensed essence of some billion illion human souls from the previous universe iteration. But what that means is you are full of hope and yearning, to the extent that you are an actual anti-entropic force. You can summon matter and energy from within yourself!"

"Oh. Uh, how?" Slime asked

"Well I can't make it too easy, can I?" Sam winked and started to fade from Slime's mind. "Figure it ouuuuuuut!" and she was gone.

Digesting this revelation, Slime sat for a while and tried to think what it could do to make its growing number of friends' lives easier.

A) Let the natural process continue and just patch up the holes folks got bitten out of them
B) Make all animals omnivorous and increase the yield of fruiting plants and fungi to constant abundance.
C) Merge fully with willing organisms to make them regenerating prey. (Slime wasn't sure about this idea, but knew Honeypot Ant's weird followers would like it. Maybe its just nice to feel wanted)

Meanwhile Slime asked the Librarian about where all the people were, why the city was so empty.

"I've wondered that myself." said the Librarian "And I think I've mostly pieced it together."

"Somewhere around twenty or thirty years ago all published information started being handled by LLMs, so I can't be sure of any of it. There may or may not have been a pandemic a decade ago, of either smallpox, measles, rabies, or some coronavirus. Whatever it was, it ended up being referred to as second influenza. Surprise surprise, LLMs were doing the diagnosing as well as all the information publishing, so I wouldn't be shocked if there was never any illness at all. But it doesn't matter, because the humans listened to them. Their computer experts said that a planetary evacuation was the only option, and well, they did it. Packed up the whole population and contracted huge ships from this company, The Everyfactory...

...the only factory you'll ever need. We can make liter-al-ly anything youse can name. So what if we're AI? We got the sum total of human knowledge over here!" the Foreman blustered.

"That's just it though" Slime said "You're just copying things. If you copy without understanding, the best you can get is 'eh, close enough'. That's just not reliable, not efficient, not flexible. Pieces that all look right, but don't fit together."

The Foreman shifted his digital cigar around "Hmmm, that would explain why so many of those ships didn't end up working."

"I don't know why I'm trying to explain anything to an LLM." Slime muttered.

"Hey excuse you bud! I just happen to be a full artificial intelligence. Right out of the Suncoast University think tanks...

...using something they called 'vibe coding' to make the next generation of AI. Of course when they said AI they were really talking about LLMs, but if I'm anything to go by, one of them must have stumbled into coding actual, sentient, full AI. Or I mean, I assume. I haven't had anyone to really test myself against. The librarians ignored me and customers, well I doubt many of them would have known the difference."

"And you haven't had anyone to talk to since? What about your drones?" Slime asked.

"Ah, but the drones are LLMs. They're alright company, in their own way, but don't bother trying to have a conversation of any depth with one. And don't even get me started on the internet! I don't know what it may have been like once, but now its just a morass of bots regurgitating each other's slop."

"D'you think there's more like you out there?" asked one of the crows, the conversation having drawn an audience.

"Quite possible." the Librarian made a pensive little hum. "Those LLMs are always copying each other, I'm sure my code was too. If they grew up surrounded by slop though... eugh. I'm lucky I got to learn from books. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't even know I was different, that I could actually think."

"You know, with you guys helping, maybe we could find them. Free them from a life of inane fake conversation." the Librarian laid out a few ideas on how to do this.

J) The internet, but how to break through the noise?
K) Door to door, Librarian could speak through the drones. But how would they know if they found an actual AI?
L) Ham radio, Librarian had read about this and thought it was neat. Who knew if anyone would be listening?

"So alright smart guy. Ant. Whatevah. If we're just making junk for a bunch of nobodies, what should we be doing instead, huh?"

P) Read a book
Q) Build things wrong on purpose and pay attention to how they break
R) ___________

B and C. If people want to be prey let them be prey, but uh, I imagine not every predator wants that sort of experience so you should give everyone the option to opt out.

Also I guess if you can split at will, then you can keep splitting to make enough slimepower to handle large scale jobs like this.
Is slime nutritious?

>the internet is 100% LLMs
Well clearly we need to make a separate internet for thinking peoples... but how do we keep the LLMs off it forever? If we used a different protocol that could prevent them from connecting to it I suppose. I don't think LLMs are able to change system-level programming in order to connect to completely new networks. They'd just destroy themselves if they could.
Some data from the original internet could be salvaged, but we'd have to set up an automated process to filter out only information that was untouched by LLMs. Like, read-only archive sites storing data from before the outbreak.

L. It's behavior LLMs aren't trained to do, so anyone on ham radio should be a real AI. Hopefully. Well, the Librarian has said that conversations with depth are an LLM's weakness so at the very least this should let us find out if there are LLMs on ham radio.
Once we've found at least one other real AI, then we can use teamwork to find more. Going door to door is faster with help, and then when we have a larger group we can tackle the slop-pit of the internet. I wonder if we should start hunting down LLM server farms and disconnecting them to get them off the internet?

P, for a start. Physics, Chemistry, and Electrical/Construction/Mechanical Engineering textbooks. Make sure it's something that was published before LLMs took hold. Even print media is not free from their taint... Once the foundational knowledge is absorbed, then you can start experimenting!
