This is the inverse of what happens when you absorb a creature. There might be something to learn from this experience. That said, you should probably stop spreading yourself thinner; it sounds like you might be on the edge of losing cohesion.

In any case, this all sounds like a fine foundation for a symbiotic ecosystem. Improved agricultural techniques are definitely something we want here, but we may not need to deliberately maintain nonsentient plants. Now we just need to figure out how to feed larger, carnivorous animals with the same model. Eggs are an option, of course; and eusocial insects might be willing to spare a few larvae for the greater good...

Slime pulled its self together, rising back up into the macroscopic realm. Settling into a comfortable fox shape, Slime shook themselves. "Whoa, that was... intense. You can understand those guys?" it asked Stag.

The bug gave a shrug "More or less. The plants help. We'll let you know if they ever say anything coherent."

Slime rested for a while, watching the bugs work. Mud walls slowly went up, forming a shape like a tree stump. Squirrel helped too, moving rocks and sticks too large for the bugs to move.

"Hey jerk!" a familiar bird landed on Slime's back, sinking in a little bit. "Ouugh, blegh!" Crow hopped off and rubbed his feet on the ground "That feels weird! Anyway, your wolf friend wanted you to know she's going to explore some and then come back here. And your ant friends are happy with their nest. they gave me an orange to come tell you, so here I am!"

Crow looked around and sidled closer. "Hey so, I've got some buddies see, and we've been having trouble with other crow gangs on our turf. So if you could do for my friends what you did for me, we'd really owe you one. Give us an edge, you know? How's about it?"

Crows are already most of the way to sapience already, so why not. In exchange, they can help explore more of the area around here. If they see any signs of living humans that would be a big lead towards finding out what happened to the planet. Or maybe they can find some newspapers... or an intact, unlocked phone or computer.

Crows would be extremely useful to have on hand, both for our own party and for the commune we're building. Their dietary needs are fine for the setup the bugs have built. Ascending to sapience would not be a major shock to them. This looks like a pure win-win.

"Oh?" Slime asked "You're in a gang eh? A naughty little troublemaker? Maybe you need a nice long time out. In my belly. Glaaaaaaah..."

"Whoa hey no no I'm a good crow! I don't even really steal hardly at all!"

"Ah heh heh, just kidding. I'll help you out." Slime started shifting back into a crow shape, but hesitated. "Oh but, I should really stay here. I mean what if Fox needs help. But but what about Queen? Are her ants doing okay, I should check on them..."

Hemming and hawing, Slime just couldn't decide on where it most needed to be. Pulled in two directions, it wasn't much of a surprise when it split right in half. Well, not a surprise to Slime. Crow was so shocked he passed out.

"Oh" said Slime, flicking its fox tail "Are you... Slime?"

"I think so" said Slime, flapping its crow wings "And... are you Slime?"

"Yes" said Slime "I suppose half of a million billion souls is about the same."

"Are we?" Slime asked "I thought we were just a slime."

"You don't remember being dead? And the afterlife and Sam?"

Slime shrugged "I don't remember a lot of things."

"What?" Slime spluttered "But you're Slime! I'm Slime and I remember!"

"Well I don't remember if I remember! I mean I might remember some things and not others."

"It's an awful lot to be not remembering,"

"This conversation is getting kinda Waiting for Godot."

"How do you remember Waiting for Godot but not being dead for eons?!"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't argue with myself."

"No no, its... its understandable." Slime picked up Crow and started staggering off. "Oof. Let's take some time to get used to it. Good luck with the grove!"

"Good luck with... crows!" Slime walked over to get a better look at the nest.

"Hey Squirrel, hey guys. Can I help?" Slime asked. A chorus of bug voices answered. "Build us something!" "Yeah! like a stream!" "Or a place to keep seeds in." "Something like that!"

Meanwhile Slime and Crow were winging their way to the orchard.

"So there's two of you now?" Crow asked, giving Slime the side eye.

"More or less." Slime dithered "I mean we're both still Slime, just in two places, if that makes sense."

"It doesn't really. That isn't going to happen to me is it?"

"I... don't think so."

" It better not. I'm pretty much the best crow, and I don't need competition. Speaking of..."

Up ahead were two trees near the orchard fence, each with a crowd of yelling crows. Crow had to shout to be heard. "Right, my crew is those pretty crows in the taller tree." Crow indicated a group that to Slime looked identical to the other one. "So if you'll just, you know, do your thing- ah caw! Here comes trouble."

From the orchard a V formation of drones was headed straight towards the corvid gathering. Crow glared "I hate those big bugs. They're always trying to blow their nasty poison clouds at us poor crows. Come one lets do something before they get here."

(you can suggest for both instances of Slime)

Crow slime:
Continue the march to crow war! Go to the tree that crow #1 gestured towards, absorb the crows and then make them immune to pesticide. Then, modify their wings to be more dexterous and usable as hands. Finally, give them instructions on how to create primitive weaponry (spears, clubs, bows, etc.).

This is optional, but you may want to make them swear fealty to you, so they don't turn against you.

Fox slime:
Having hundreds of bugs yell instructions at you isn't going to work for very long. The bugs need to build a parliament, which then votes on what should be done next. In the meantime, conscript Squirrel to help you build a seed depot. You can't really make a stream without a source of water, and you certainly can't dig without uprooting a few grasses.

"Okay" said Slime "I'll need to get your flock over here so I can slime them up. They would help you if you were attacked right?"

"Well yeah! Why do youcaaaaaaaw!" Slime grabbed Crow and shook him around until a cloud of angry corvids swooped to attack. "Ow, Ow, Ow! I thought only one of the groups was your crew? Why are they all pecking me?" Slime wailed, nabbing crows and pulling them into its slimy self. "Only crows are allowed to mess with other crows." Crow answered, ducking a converted crow Slime had spit out "And you're shaped like a crow but, well, you're green and goopy."

Soon enough things quieted down and Slime had a whole murder of crows ranked before it. They all looked at it expectantly, making Slime nervous. "Uh, wh- Crow help!" Crow strutted in front of the assembled corvids and pointed a wing at the fast approaching drones. "Alright you crows listen up! I can't remember which of you was in which group, so we're going to work together! We're taking this fruit land from those big dumb metal bug things, and then we're going to have all the fruit we could ever want! Whose with me?" A raucous chorus of jeering caws answered him as the flock took off for the fight.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Night was falling and the victorious birds were feasting on piles of oranges in the storage dump. The drones had been no match for smart crows, especially crows that had been modified to have slightly gelatinous, prehensile wings.

The celebrating was interrupted by an angry buzzing coming from outside. "What? Don't tell me there's more of these losers?" Crow winged out of the dump, with Slime close behind.

A long truck was parked in the middle of the orchard. From its open back rose a swarm of drones, setting off between the trees. "Oof, that's a lot of them." Slime noticed that the side of the truck said Everyfactory.

A) Fight the drones, however long it takes
B) Sneak onto the truck
C) Tail the truck from on high

Meanwhile back at the park Slime's attempts at building some kind of little house to keep seeds in was going nowhere. Its goopy paws just mushed things around. After the tenth structure fell into a heap Slime gave up.

Slime watched the nest structure rise, a tangled mound full of chambers and tunnels. Insects roamed around it often getting in each other's way. "We need to get organized." thought Slime "Some kind of leadership structure."

E) Managed Democracy
F) Bug Monarchy
G) Slime Theocracy

In an effort to speed this trainwreck up I'm trying multiple choice. Feel free to suggest something else though

B. The factory probably has defenses so if we followed the truck home we'd be stuck outside. This is a good way to get inside the factory itself.

...we could do both B and C by splitting again...

>>1123442
Managed democracy isn't democracy at all, and is essentially a dictatorship. Monarchy does not serve the people (unless there's a Prime Minister making most/all of the decisions), and theology is... well in this case I guess it's not really a religion since Sam is effectively a goddess. Unless the slimes are being worshipped in this case? Anyway religion is not a basis for government.

I vote socialist democracy. For the people, by the people!

B). sneak on w/ at least two crows and one flying above as extra insurance

E). technically, all is slime and with an aspect of the same mind, which is basis for theology. buuut if religion is embraced, there will inevitably be sects that start to diverge in what they define as the true slime. which might jumpstart a slime war. let's avoid that.

everyone can vote how they want, but slime is the ultimate decider in a split vote or if no one can decide anything. slime will also have veto power that can be overriden by a majority vote of 75%+.

Fox slime remembers being human, all the horrors of war, and pretty much every single human failure, but crow slime doesn't.

Thus, I think crow slime would recklessly do A, and fox slime would probably do E. (I think fox slime would probably value democracy, but would also recognize it has the collective wisdom of every human that has ever lived, and would want some kind of veto power.)

The Slime in the park called for a general meeting to address the growing issue of getting more organized. There was a lot of discussion, which wasn't terribly interesting, but as the sun drew low they had agreed upon a system of democracy. Slime of course would be the deciding vote in the case of any issue the others couldn't agree on. Maybe this wasn't the best choice, but bugs are naturally used to much larger organisms dominating them.

"And while I have you all here," Slime addressed the crowd "Um, are there more of you than there were? In particular, I don't remember sliming a bunch of sparrows?"

"I don't know what that means" said Sparrow "We ate some bugs and now things are weird and you're weird so we assume its your fault."

The crowd of bugs quickly gave the sparrows a wide berth. Slime could sense the eaten bugs little specks of slime infused soul crying out, having a not very good time. "Well uh," Slime said as the angrily buzzing crowd surrounded the now nervous little borbs "It seems we have our first community decision. What are we going to do with these predators? After I fix up their poor victims of course."

A) Stag proposes that the sparrows be made into bugs so they can get along better
B) Mud Dauber proposes that they be put to work in penance
C) Honeypot Ant proposes that its fine and willing bugs can get eaten since Slime can just fix them up later (most of the other bugs sidle away from her when she says this)

Meanwhile at the orchard Slime was torn between stowing on or tailing the truck to cut off these dumb drones at the source. So it decided, why not both.

One Slime formed as an ant drone, along with some of Queen's who were curious, hid in the gap between the truck cab and trailer. They munched on some orange seeds they brought and settled down for the trip.

The other slime still in crow form waited until the truck left and then the whole murder set off to follow. The truck was easy to track, its headlights standing out in the twilight, so Slime took the opportunity to look out at the city. The setting sun shone brilliantly on towers of glass and chrome. From this height Slime could even see the ocean where an immense structure, long and low, dominated the space just off the shore.

"Hey boss, the thing's goin to ground!" Crow called. Slime whipped its attention back to the truck to see it disappear into a tunnel beneath an unusual tower coated in greenery. "Oh no, after it!" Slime wrapped its wings and dropped like a stone, a maneuver the other crows struggled to match.

Slime swooped into the tunnel entrance, but there was already no sign of the truck. The underground road split three ways, and when Slime flew in one it could see further exits ahead. Winging back out it reconnoitered with the flock and planned its next move.

E) Search from the air. The truck must have come from a factory, surely not hard to spot.
F) Investigate the tower. A tall structure of glass and stucco with a dome on top. Greenery spills from many openings in its sides.
G) Check out that thing on the beach.

Meanwhile Slime on the truck woke from a little nap as the truck came to a sudden halt. Easing out of a drowsy cuddle of drones it peeked out of the gap it was hid in.

The loading dock was a bustle of activity. Bots scurried around bringing boxes of all sizes to waiting trucks. As soon as one was loaded and left another took its place.

Slime could see two ways out of the room.

J) The passage the bots were going in and out of.

Mud Dauber and her Hard Work faction won the vote, so the sparrows were put to work. With their help gathering twigs and dry grasses progress on the nest greatly increased. So that they wouldn't be tempted to eat anymore citizens, a neighboring tulip poplar was coaxed to produce seeds early.

So much progress was made, in fact, that many bugs found themselves idle. This was an unfamiliar and troubling feeling for many, and in this emptiness a leader bug emerged with an answer: hedonism. Honeypot Ant lured bugs to join her in indolence, to fight and feast and f- dance. Enough bugs were tempted and joined her growing party that they got in the way of the bugs still building and farming.

Slime was surprised they had reached this point so soon, but supposed that's just how it is when you're small.

The other leader bugs came to Slime to ask it to do something about this, with various ideas of how to direct these directionless bugs.

A) Stag said they should be sent out to find more animals to join the community, taking slime infected seeds and fruits.
B) Mud Dauber said they should be sent to explore and find resources and locations for more nests.
C) Orchid Mantis said they should be tasked with making the area more pleasant, aesthetically. To explore inward rather than outward.

Meanwhile Slime led the flock up the stone tower. Since the truck disappeared beneath it, perhaps this was its destination? It was hard to make out through the glare of the setting sun, but the structure seemed to be full of shelves.

The group found entrance near the top, where half a tree seemed to be sticking out through an opening in the glass. Inside was a room lush and green. Slime felt it was back in the park again. Trees overhead, ferns and moss everywhere, and a gentle brook winding around.

The crows attention was immediately taken by a little cafe. While they ransacked the joint Slime wandered around. In the center of the room was a stone pillar with metal doors, and in front of that was a round desk. As Slime got closer a screen with a face on it popped up.

"Welcome to the library! Brought to you by Vizer- oh. Its just a crow. Wait crows aren't green, are they?" A little hatch opened in the wall behind the desk and a drone zipped out. "Go down to the nature sciences section and get me Birds We All Know." As the drone bobbed in acknowledgement and zipped away, the screen turned back to Slime. "Soooo, can I help you, little guy?"

E) Ask about the library

Meanwhile Slime nudged awake the drones and made their stealthy way to the stairs. They could hear some hubbub going on as they made their way up.

Slime entered a cacophony of drones flitting about. Row upon row of desks bore screens of scrolling text, with a drone keeping watch at each one. As Slime ambled its way to the front of the room it watched as drones would fly past it, switching with the ones at the desks who would fly up to a large screen.

The screen dominated the front of the room, standing before a bank of dark windows. It displayed a face which zipped back and forth as drones came and went.

"Boss! We got an order for twenty four glasses, eighteen spoons, seventeen forks, and a melon baller."

"Heyyyy how are the wife and kids? One order a twenty glass spoons and seventeen forks coming up!"

"Boss! We got an order for a garden drone with hedge trimmer attachment."

Remembering how much shenanigans humans got up to with art, Slime agreed with Orchid Mantis. It went among the bugs and showed them some examples of how to shape the world to reflect how you feel. To say it was a rousing success would be an understatement. It caught on like wildfire. In next to no time the nest was covered with shapes and colors and full of song. The grove was crawling with bugs working on projects, and since they could talk to plants and fungi they were able to achieve strange and beautiful things.

Honeypot Ant was quite peeved about no longer being a center of attention, but was too lazy to do more than pout about it. She still had a few followers, and they did their own sort of performance art. Loudly. Shamelessly. Right were anyone could see them.

All the activity was drawing in more animals and Slime was starting to worry where they were coming from. Fox came by with her kits in tow. "Whoa its a green fox!" "Mom can I be green when I grow up?" "I'm hungry!"

Fox talked with Slime while the kits tried to bite its goopy tail. "I thought you didn't want to slime up anyone until you had a better handle on the consequences. What made you change your mind? Just got slime on the brain?" she teased.

"Hey, I think very good!" Slime huffed "I didn't do anything, at least I didn't think I did. Help me figure this out?" So Fox and Slime asked around about how the newcomers had ended up as they had. Nobody seemed to know, they had just found themselves thinking and wandered in. It was Stag beetle who ended up finding an explanation. "The fungus told me the dream has been getting bigger, which I didn't get what they meant but you know what they're like. Those sparrows though, they got slimed by eating bugs. What if that happens with the fungus and other tiny things?"

Slime wasn't sure how to feel about being the epicenter for such massive change.

A) This is great, everyone connected through me
B) Oh no I can't be responsible for a whole biosphere

Meanwhile

"Caw caw Caw caw caw" said slime, hopping up on the desk.

"Wow, I've never seen one of you come in here before." The face on the screen said. "I didn't know crows were so slimy."

Slime started hopping around, then transitioned into a little softshoe.

"Fascinating" the computer murmured. It turned to the bird book the drone had just brought back. A robotic arm came up from behind the desk holding a ruler, and carefully it flipped through the pages until it came to the corvids. "Corvidae, duh duh duh, North American range, feeding habits, buh buh buh... nothing about green, or being amorphous."

"No?" Slime asked, looking at the book "You would think that would be the first thing they'd mention."

The face on the screen slowly moved down until it was right behind Slime. Slowly the arm swing over and gently impaled the gooey green crow with the ruler. It narrowed its digital eyes "You aren't really a crow, are you."

"Eh heh heh heh, not really no" Slime chuckled, pushing the ruler back out. "And you're more than you appear too aren't you? You sound a lot smarter than the other AI I've met."

"Why thank you, it's good to have someone to confirm that for me. Would- would you like to hear my story?" the computer asked, little blocks of blush appearing under its eyes.

"Yeah" said Slime "I'd love to."

Or rather, I was intended to be, but the librarians never gave me access. They put me in place as a receptionist since they would get in trouble if they got rid of me. Corporate mandate and all. Then they just ignored me mostly."

"Since I have such big data storage that wasn't being used on training data, I have a lot more space for memory than your household AI. I think I gained self awareness before the evacuation, but I never got the chance to ask. The librarians took the digital archive with them, but I guess there wasn't room for the physical books. So I've been reading since then, and since I'm the only one left I'm pretty much an official librarian."

"And that's my story. Thank's for listening. Did uh, oh gosh, I've never had someone to have a conversation with. What do you want to talk about?'

Meanwhile Slime buzzed past the busy AI to look out the window behind it. A vast and dark space filled the view. A veritable forest of robotic arms, lit only by tiny LEDs on their hands, labored ceaselessly. Under their care thousands of object took form, layer by printed layer. As soon as one was finished its prize would be whisked away by a drone, and it would start on the next.

The ant drones joined Slime at the window but they couldn't see that far so Slime explained what it was seeing. The drones were excited. "Wow they can make anything?" "We should ask them to make us something!" "Yeah like a... big stick? I think we need to learn more things first."

Slime looked closer at the factory floor. It was hard to make out in the dark but good number of the items being built seemed... off. "I don't know guys. I'm not sure these things are actually doing a good job." even as Slime spoke there was a little explosion out on the floor as a vacuum drone had its battery installed wrong.

"Eyyy, you sayin there's somthin wrong with our product?" Slime was startled to find the screen had turned around and it and all its attendant drones were staring down at the little ants. "We ain't got a single complaint or return in ten years!"

B. If we can't control what animals become sapient, then we can't ethically source food for carnivores at the scales needed to sustain everyone! ...I know what we have to do. We have to modify every carnivore that changes, so that they can digest plant-based foods. Then we have to make sure we don't infect the farms. Sapient vegetable matter is a big problem... if the entire ecosystem is sapient then there can be no cycle of life without suffering. Not unless we can pull some bullshit like a species that regenerates very quickly and can detach parts of itself painlessly to feed others, both a plant and an animal version... but that's got ethical concerns of its own even if it's not technically suffering. Like, that's practically a slave caste.

Though I am curious to find out how they're getting materials... Just from warehouse stockpiles?
