"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

Little bit of all of those. Try to get a man on the inside to find out what's going on there and if there's anything to worry about.
Then we can try saying hello over the radio, and if they get uppity then we can perform a show of force.

"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.

In order to properly sneak Slime would need the right disguise.

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..."

"Eh whatever. Good dog." The human leaned forward again and fiddled with some knobs. "Hmm? What's this?"

The screen lit up again with the image of a different captain. "Caw. Caw caw."

"Ha ha ha What the heck?" the human grabbed a microphone "Hey Johnson! Grab whoever's there and get in here. You've gotta see this!"

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.

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.

Bring him back with a 'giga chad / handsome Squidward' improvement to his appearance and physique (muscular but not excessively so, optimal human physique). Also wearing only a speedo.

He'll likely be very happy to be in tip-top, peak physical condition. The face is up to his tastes and mostly for jokes.

Further gags could include making him look specifically like someone famous, like Terry Alan Crews (a universal constant) or Nicolas Cage.

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?
