• When Somthing Takes

    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

  • You Say That’s not the Right Question

    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

  • A Thing Shaped Unlike Itself

    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

  • Expert Advice

    “It’s… It smells right,” Alice brought her face close to the  foot-sized lump, still warm from being fired, inspecting it for  imperfections, cracks, burns – “Is this… your first try?” “Hardly.  This version 8.

  • Doubling Down on Power Creep

    “Wouldn’t it be lovely,” Jasprosesprite^2 purred from the darkness, “If we had one of those time-whatevers, so I could hope to talk some sense into you.

  • Goo Alien Design Guidelines

    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.

  • Alarmingly Frequent Incedents

    ♪It’s eight – oh -three and the clock did not go off,♪ Jasprosesprite^2 did not need to let another line of the ditty pound through her head to decide it was horrible, infantile – but it was the voices that declared it that made her pause before thinking to examine anything else. There were a… Continue reading
