“It… It will be a short day,” Lainyng looked like she hadn’t slept.  In a week. “We’ll just go over the baseline tests, and then you’re free  to relax.” Only half the staff scientist that usually worked in  the Direct Human Studies lab had shown up that morning. Or what counted  as a morning in… Continue reading

Is it better to say that nights passed? Or Days?Alice allowed the testing schedule to resume. Slowly, it seemed, the physical tests changed. Things not meant for humans.Patcht’s psychological tests seemed about the same, though. Word association, scenario responses. Alice always got the impression she was a little disappointed by the responses. Though… that may… Continue reading

The Direct Human Studies group seemed to have plenty to do even as  Alice refused to come out of her room – every time one of the scientist  proposed otherwise, Lainyng loudly denied. This was a reasonable reaction. It  seemed a little showy, but despite how Counsellor Grerbe had treated  her earlier – she appreciated… Continue reading

They would talk. The scientists that Alice Jenkins found herself surrounded by – obvious psychological tests. Physical tests – some seemed designed for a human body, which defiantly wasn’t what the pink goo that  now constituted her form was.She was given her own room –  and was assured it was spacious, by spaceship standards. It… Continue reading

Alice stared at her ceiling. It was weird. She felt nude now, even under her bed sheets.She  had tried to “shop” – if it could be really called that, with no money  to exchange, no credit cards to swipe – for a water bottle. But nobody  seemed to quite get the concept – or though… Continue reading

We have worked on it for year – two year … Asteroid  have not have nearly the ordering planetary sediment does.”… Continue reading

Originally: https://toyhou.se/~literature/27937.a-study-of-hummus-goo-alien-design-guidelinesCurrent designs: https://toyhou.se/Sudrien/characters/tagged:Goo%20Alien/folder:745652 Goo aliens are obligate shapeshifters. Unconcious, they would basically have the properties of a non-neutonian fluid – rheopectic. They have limited psychic powers, which filter into both direct communications (i.e. their native language) and some control of separated mass. Those sent on the “First Hummus Expedition” – designated as such because their… Continue reading

Some Basics The [goo aliens] currently have three homeworlds – too developed to be colonies – in a single solar system. Calcaei, a rocky planet with a moon that once so bright it competed with the system’s star frequently. Weltra, a rocky planet with a stunningly complex set of rings, and Iu’husid, a thick-atmosphered ringed planet… Continue reading

A Commission. “Uuuuuuuugggghghhhhhh…” Alice groaned as her 3-ton  eyelids slowly forced themselves open despite the immense force pushing  down on them, trying to get her to go back to sleep. This was worse than  any hangover she had ever felt before, even during her illustrious  adventures back at… Continue reading
