Over time, the scientists noticed that the slime formed into the shape of one of the crewmen and mimicked how they moved, in which the team realized it was sentient and stopped any further experiments. Several scientists transformed into slime since they didn’t want to experiment on another sentient being due to ethical reasons. They took it back to their scientific explorer ship and began experimenting with it, in which it was noticed that if the slime was processed and injected into any living creature, it’d transform it into slime and grant biological immortality. On a rimworld named Callipso B4324, biochemists discovered some sort of slime deep underground that moved on its own and regenerated when it was torn apart.
