The Old-Evolution-Mind control fungus!

Counter-Evolution-No mind control fungus!

[Lillipad]

Let's just have something eat it so we can learn the sphere's language already.

[RAM]

If we go further in, I suggest a small, inexpensive craft with excessive sensory abilities.
Something like this:

Name: Recon Drone.
Propulsion: Chemical: ACCELERATION: Enough.
Extras: Best Sturdiest sensors we have.
          Can send back information even when near death.
Description: Small ship able to seek out and relay information in difficult climates.
COSTS:

[USEC_OFFICER]

RECON DRONE GO!

You create a recon drone from Jethro's mind probe's bio reserves, and send it deep into the gas giant.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, crippling pressure destroys the probe ...

Damn it.

With no other ideas of what to do, you send the Cactus over to eat or infect the sphere.

Wait, did I say eat and/or eat the sphere? Clearly, I meant get pulled into the sphere and get crushed and die horribly.

Damn it.

Oh, look, the sphere is sending a smaller verison of itself towards you. Now what?

Deploy infant.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Deploy infant.

What?

[Lillipad]

Peasant's Quest. You eventually have to enter the command "deploy baby" to get a door open.

Ah.

[Blackdutchie]

EVASIVE MANEUVERS!
RUN AWAY!(3:07)

[USEC_OFFICER]

RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, look at that, it appears that the orb is not only following you, but is in fact dragging the track into it. Lovely.

[Lillipad]

Hypothesize how the orb was made, then create one of our own to combat these mysterious invaders.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I believe that the hypothesizing is up to you.

[Lillipad]

What materials do we have?(I know we have more genes than we'll ever possibly need, so I won't ask about that)

[Blackdutchie]

I speculate it is a portal to another dimension.
And they(whatever they are) use these portals as weapons by making them launch smaller portals.
something like that.

[USEC_OFFICER]

What materials do we have?(I know we have more genes than we'll ever possibly need, so I won't ask about that)

Why, the entire periodic table of course!

Launch a large orb made of Lead, powered by Anti-Grav waves generated by Elerium-115
