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

I say the most reasonable thing to do would be for the shapeshifter to infiltrate the base as a siberian husky. Gain their trust before revealing yourself!

>>1128314
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.

We are the invading slime empire and we have arrived to assimilate and eat. No need for taking or buying them dinner before fucking them. Let's just skip all of that go with what will inevitably happen. You eating all of them and assuming direct control of this colony. Time to show who is top dog!

A normal communication would be the best approach. No sneaky shit, just talk with them, see what they think about you, and try to form some friendship.

"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.

With that taken care of Slime was easily able to slip through a vent and down into the complex.

Left, right, or center?

Go left. Looks like a symbol for comms.

Go center

hmmm left

Right. I think it leads to the armory, and if they freak out, you want to keep the away from guns. (For their own safety, of course!)

Go left.

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!"

B) motion to captain crow to stop messing around
C) motion to captain crow to keep messing around
D) Block the door with something and take command

>>1129399
B. We're in position, let's just play this by the book.

Use C as a distraction for D.

C! Let's have some fun

C) + D) let's see if humans taste like chicken.

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.

>>1129399
Wait, do the creatures that slime assimilates speak human language, or is it some weird psychic hivemind thing?

>>1129735
Given the whole souls-from-another-universe situation and us understanding the human, trnaslation shouldn't be an issue. Nothing a quick absorption can't fix, either!

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.

Time to recreate movie the Thing with the cast of this new humans.

>>1129965
Give him dog ears! But then ask if he wants them. It's rude to permanently change someone without permission, after all. Go ahead and let him choose what body alterations to get! Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Only if he joins you, of course. Dangle that carrot. Dangle dangle.

eh what if they came back exactly the same exceeeept for a slight personality change

>>1129965
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.

>>1129963
Huh, are the crows accidentally telepathic, is he wearing some kind of Star Trek universal translator, or did you already somehow slime-infected this human and its translating caw-speech for him?

Either way, welcome to the team... Whatever your name is. Check his nametag.

They're a smoker with possibly decades of bodily damage and/or cancer from nicotine and tar inhalation. That's clearly bad for their health. Cure them of their nicotine addiction and fix the smoking damage.

Bring the human back, no silly business. Alright, maybe a little bit of silliness makes the human dance.

Bring him back a foot shorter, but make up for the height by putting an octopus on his head.

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."

"Can't what?"

"Die"

"... really?"

Slime shrugged "It hasn't come up. But I'm pretty sure"

Guy blew out a long stream of smoke and stared at the ceiling for a while. "huh"

File 178580342187.png - (852.71KB , 1000x800 , slime in the park 96 saw a green thing.png )

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."

Guy shut the door and pushed the barricade back in place. "Alright then. So what's next little buddy? Gonna shake things up around here? I'm all for it."

A) intercom address
B) sneak into the seed bank
C) call the Shimizu megacity
D) ___________

>>1130288
Wait, the humans in the hallway were slimed? How? Did slime split and forget about at some point, so now there's an evil doppelganger slime out there that we don't know about? If so, did the evil doppelganger slime the humans and make them evil too? uh uh
D!
D) freak out that there might be a doppleganger out there, or that you might be a doppleganger, or that in some intangible way you might not be you, or that everything is you or...

>>1130288
Huh, who slimed them? I thought we were the only one in here and hadn't slimed anyone else.

Also, uh, I thought we were just here to make contact? We don't want to go sliming everyone (unless they ask to be slimed for all the inherent benefits)

A. Gotta tell everyone that being slimed is all positive as far as you know. Also good way to get in touch with the captain.

>>1130287
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.

D) Get smuggled by Guy to someone important, like a lead scientist/biologist (they can help explain your positive features) or the local military commander/leader of the compound (to enact authority, give tips on how to actually lead a mass of humans and prevent troops from attacking the animal crew).

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.

A) Just say that you can cure cancer and people will start a religion about you!

A) Have Guy explain that you are 'basically the symbiote from Spiderman but super chill and can cure cancer'.

D) Contemplate/discuss the pros and cons of 'eating the rich' (billionaires) with Guy.
