The Old-Evolution-Mind control fungus!

Counter-Evolution-No mind control fungus!

[Demonic Spoon]

Add a entry in the encyclopedia about how the Primpks have made several advances in biotechnology and use a sort of green biomass thingy to Jethroform their planets.

[USEC_OFFICER]

The mass on JETHRO is adapted to look natural when needed.

[Demonic Spoon]

Convenient.

[FuzzyZergling]

Besides, what are they going to do?
Blast our planets until the surface is but glass, all else turned to dust and ash?
I think not.

...Can they do that?

[Demonic Spoon]

Speaking of empires, the BLOBS say that anti-spinward lies the Ulamlsit¹ or the NOT-BLOBS².
<sup>1. Their name for the NOT-BLOBS

2. The NOT-BLOBS's name for themselves, which you know.</sup>

What kind of empire calls itself NOT-BLOBS? O.o

[FuzzyZergling]

The kind which are distinctly non-bloberific.

[Demonic Spoon]

XD True enough I suppose.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I meant that that you know the name which they call themselves, which you translate to NOT-BLOBS.

[Sheb]

Kidnap some members of both race, and attempt an impossible feat of Genetic engineering: turning a blob into non-blob!

[RAM]

Last I heard we had a simulated civilisation on our homeworld, but these things have a habit of decaying if you stop paying attention to them.

Convert one of our planets into a giant factory and start churning out moon-sized self-sufficient space vessels capable of building their own escorts.

Design a teleporter that can teleport something else, so that we can teleport attack craft that do not possess the ability to telepoort themselves.

Did it.

Hexographer is working now.

You've reached the limits of any easy expansion. Any systems close enough to colonize are already occupied by these 'Empires'. Hopefully, none of them will decide to investigate these territories until you are ready for them.

The BLOBS (Who you never did find out what they looked like) say that they're content with an e-copy of your encyclopedia. You inform them that you will be sending a research ship to them in order to acquire information for the encyclopedia.

The development of a disease that only targets the NOT-BLOBS is in the works, though development towards the BLOBS will involve actually infecting one first. Your spores will take some time to arrive at their planet.

Work on researching quantum entanglement proceeds slowly. Namely, the problem is getting over the randomness of quantum states.

Inversigate the L'sk'ck'it more closely.
Search as many different planets as possible, seed any life-friendly ones that are not occupied with Jethro-based plant life.

Offer to terraform the Blob's dead planets, in exchange for resources.

[ragnarok97071]

Name the West Empire the KINDA-BLOBS and the other one the POSSIBLY-BLOBS

[breadbocks]

Name EMPIRE SORTA-BLOBS, and the Ls'Ck''It things PROBABLY BLOBS, and the Musolso DECIDEDLY UNBLOBY ONES.
