Flint once tried to eat a bite out of a mundane looking, methane breathing, carbon eating beetle. You know, a small one, just to see what it tastes like. Though he didn't, because the universe/his intuition told him it was probably a bad idea. Don't know if that counts as injecting weird stuff into yourself.
weird stuff, yes. Eldritch horrors? no. Besides, he had his space helmet on, and had he opened it, he'd have been injecting a lot of plain old, mundane methane into his system before he got much chance at the beetle.
I wonder if Pancaek's experience with the white planet counts.
I think it does. For a brief moment he was a god, or equivalent of one. But that was xenospit speaking, not technical spess magic.
Well, the Doctor did make a big deal out of the experience, so it was more than the xenospit.
STAN should count, because, well, Stacy and his painting. Residual traces of "alien space god", if you wish. (According to the Doctor as reported by Xan, anyway.)
I'm not familiar with that bit yet. I read M1, part of M2, all of missions 6 to 9b, 15, 19, 20 gyromatria, and all of the current stuff, as well as the on ship thread from inception to the point in M2 I am at, and of course everything since I awoke there. SO I have gaps in my knowledge. And I bogged down mid M2, so catching up has been slow.
Anyway, Candidates for Space Gods:
Grate
Timmy
STAN
Pancaek
Maurice
STEPHEN HAWKING? (I just remembered he was the one who gave Grate his quantum immortality)
Can't really consider the victims of the eater of cold ... they were more "consumed by an eldritch horror"
I just realized something: In the character index, Lyra is described as an "anthropomorphic cat." this is a cat that has taken on human form. She could probably better be described as a "felinomorphic human."
This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up
at night in the daytime. (I work at night)
