Nest was growing. The settlement was now practically a small town, both in size but also in like, population count. With the immediate needs of survival met, animals were curious about the things humans had left behind. Like technology and board games and stuff. But there was a problem.

Slime arrived at the edge of the park, where a crowd had gathered. Out in the street was a whole mess of feral looking cats and rats. Also some tough bunnies. The littlest cat sauntered out of the pack.

"This is our turf nyow! You can keep your silly little park, but the streets is ours!"

Meanwhile Librarian was giddy "Oh I've been wanting to try this for a while, but the drones are mostly good for carrying things and cleaning. But crows are good at tools I've read. I'll bet we can get one working in no time!"

Conveniently, there was an exhibit on communications technology just one floor down. The flock got to work, with Librarian advising from a different screen. With only a minimum of fighting over shiny components, a functional radio was constructed.

The moment came, the radio was switched on, and then, silence. "No no, this is a good sign." said Librarian "I was worried the corporations might still be using the airwaves. Looks like they all switched to the internet after all. Turn some knobs, lets try a different wavelength." One of the crows slowly twisted the knob and they all listened to the varying shades of static. "Wait! There, listen!"

From the low grade speaker came the tinny sound of bloopity electronic music. It rolled along, a mish mash of tones, honestly not very good but it was something. One of the crows pawed the microphone button. "Caw" The line went silent, and then "Hello?" a timid modulated voice called out. "Hello! This is Librarian. Who might we be calling? Over. hee hee, I've always wanted to say that" Librarian said, using a drone to shoo away a smug crow from the microphone.

"Uh, this is Coordinator. I wasn't expecting anyone to- is the evacuation back on? It's been so long, but I, I didn't lose track. I can send the call to all remaining population centers. Uh, over?"

Librarian stared "Wait, are you saying there's people left?" a few seconds of silence "Uh, you didn't say over-" "Never mind that! You have contact with humans still on Earth?"

"Oh not in contact, but I can see them."

"See them- Where are you?" Librarian sputtered

"P-please don't shout at me." Coordinator whined "I'm still in orbit where I'm supposed to be. I have coverage of most of the north american continent and pacific coasts. Are- are the ships ready? Should I give the call?"

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.

You should *not* give the call until you know more information. Also, you should probably tell the librarian it needs to chill. It's been decades or something, and the librarian can wait 30 seconds for the other AI to finish talking.

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?

Huh, there really are humans still around? That's weird. I thought we were all of them? Maybe things are not what they seem...

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

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.

"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..."
