I believe that, with care and caution, it is within reasonable safety parameters to check out"orgyverse." I blacklisted it more to keep our more impulsive associates from going in unprepared and bringing back another interdimensuional STD than anything. I will authorize your tests. As for testing hte spiders on it, I feel we have yet to understand them well enough for the data you would get to be useful. However, if you would like to bring a set of spiders through for that purpose, go ahead. Oh, and i believe Petra is interested in having a look at that verse as well. let her see some video also, if she wishes. Keep her under observation for unusual activity though.
Addendum: there is a universe which causes our probes and sods to head in a particular direction, seeking "home" when they return to this universe. how do you feel about senidng a probe, with some sods, bringing it straight back to this universe in deep space, and letting it move freely, following it at a distance with another probe armed with missiles to destroy the first probe in case of sudden changes in behavior? I'd kinda like to see where that probe goes. Idoubt it would present a significant threat, as iwt would probably move in one direction, out of direct contact with anything human.
Dester Grants authorization to Saint to do his orgyverse tests.
Send a probe into 5, 0, 0 (the pink slime universe that transfers force really well) at 1 au from the original location. Send another at 1 light year distant. Is the environment the same?
Send probes to each of the recorded waling planets in analverse, to approach their "heads" or top portions. Test if they have atmosphere and if it is similar to the stuff down along the wall of the lumen (that is, if it is nitrogen, methane, and oxygen, or if it is different in composition).
Time permitting, send probes to new universes:
0, 0, -3
0, -3, 0
-3, 0, 0
Done.
It's all pink slime, all the time, baby.
Similar composition, different amounts of each gas. Much more oxygen rich, though it is also filled with more organic particulate. There are also other living things down there, living on the larger creature; mountain sized creatures that look vaguely like hermit crabs, though with far more legs and a strange appearance, as though they were made of coiled roots or cord. And atop those creatures are smaller creatures, and atop those even smaller creatures. Infinite regression and progression. Elephants all the way down.

DESERTWORLD (-6582,+6684,-9811) EXPLORATION MK II
1) Just to be certain, send a probe in to analyse the topsoil of the desert. No traces of water in the rocks either? Port in one cup of water as well and watch what happens. What does "survivable temp" mean? 70F, 30F, or 100F?
2) Regardless of the outcome, send a probe 1,000 km "up" into the sky. and another 1 AU "up". What do they see? Is it an infinite plane deal or is there other planets?
3) Send a sod in with a canteen of water unless the cup of water from before explodes or something.
One new probe to:
-987,654,-321
Found a desert world. Not a trace of water in the air. Going to perform a few tests; send some water in to see if it explodes or something, then send a sod there and some probes into space if everything turns out fine..
The water seems to evaporate abnormally quickly.
Survivable as in you can stand around in it and live. It's about 120-125 F.
The 1000 KM frags
The 1 au shows that the plane of elemental dryness appears to be a perfectly flat, horizontal plane contained within a planetary sized sphere of clear material. it almost looks almost like a planet sized terrarium.
For how long?

1.Keep sending probes towards the gravitational center of the analverse, trying to get as close as possible. Keep sending probes even if they telefrag, until I've gotten ten telefrags in a row. Primarily, I'm looking for inorganic material.
2.Send probes outside the boundaries of the lumen of the analverse planet thing. Is there more darkness, or can we finally see stars?
3.If we can't see stars... Send a probe two hundred billion light years in any direction. Send until one returns, or ten have failed. Still flesh?
4.Send a probe with a sod loaded into it to the paradise 'verse for half an hour. It can look at monitors and listen to outside sounds while there. When the sod returns, have it be interviewed by other sods for psychological anomalies.
5.This is a preparation question for succubusverse: Do fleshsods have any sexual drive, or any capability to satisfy it? Or are they literally and completely asexual?
((Huh. Thought I had posted an action for last turn.
Anyway, I'm seriously wondering whether we should really treat these "bait" universes as such. Presumably, if PW's generator is capable of making horrrible hellscapes, it could make the opposite, right? Yeah, just going by Murphy's law they're probably terrible, but compared to the universes which make people tear their own skin off, or infect hermetically sealed rabbits with sapient spiders... I can't see the bait universes being much worse.))
I have put some thought into this, and I believe we should initiate unmanned exploration of (-7,-7,-7), which I believe you have titled the "orgyverse". Are you willing to allow me to do so?
While it is most likely not a suitable universe for colonization, the fact that humans are within it is exceptionally strange. My initial assumption was that they were an illusion, but unlike most illusions from other universes, they did not immediately cause insanity in those who saw them. They have also been visibly human to every being who has witnessed the video, which further sheds doubt on the illusion hypothesis. I believe it would be a good idea to attempt to ascertain what is in that universe.
One experiment I would be significantly interested in is how your spiders react to video from that universe, preferably video which has never been seen by any human--I feel the video may act something like Schrodinger's Cat, remaining nebulous and undefined until a thinking creature has witnessed it, at which point it assumes the form of something which would attract the viewer.
The closest you manage to get is a tiny, thick walled vessel where the gravity is at about 8g. No sign of inorganic material.
Most telefrag, but regardless of the distance, you find no end to the flesh.
You send your probe 200 billion light years away. or wherever considering the margin of error. You end up in some sort of sea of static; thats what it looks like, just a hazy area of black and white with no defined features and readings that make no real sense. There are, however, things moving here. They look like tape worms or sea snakes, swimming in the haze. They're solid black and featureless, but they move as though organic.
The things in the distance seem to remain where they are, all glowing and angelic. The sound outside is not much more than quiet wind and the occasional chiming sound. In all, it's rather boring. Whatever those things are, they have no interest in directly confronting the ship.
Guess that means Im ordering a merc to fly over the ameoba, being careful not to disturb it. We'll all join the merc if all goes well (Im too much of a chicken shit to do it myself. I aint getting absorbed by an ameoba I've seen enough hentai ... I mean what?)
The merc flies over the amoeba, doing his best not to hit it with exhaust. But the Amoeba seems to take notice of him and fires several pseudopods in his direction. He manages to evade them but the creature is pursuing him like a beanbag chair on a mission.
