The wall of text was somewhat contradictory anyway; it included both Armok's "They're emotionally stable and not competitive" part and IronyOwl's "They end up going through genocide cycles" bit.
You do realize you just referred to yourself in the third person?
IronyOwl preferred the clarity of mentioning both subject by name. Perhaps IronyOwl overestimated the difficulty of glancing at who was actually speaking, but still.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

I do believe IronyOwl did, given that there's no one else whose avatar looks even vaguely like that one.
I could never forget that SCIENCE. :D

That's not contradictory! There are many explanations, but their common factor is that the me quote is only relevant to the willingness to fight, not necessarily how often they do so. It could also mean genocides that are more of the social dominance and concentration camps kind than the outright war kind.

Also, by there being only 10 slimes curetly I assume the current time is right after a genocide cycle, meaning they'll be completely peaceful for several generations most likely.

MENTLEGEN.
Hurry up and post actions already!  >:(
As for genocide, I doubt they're genocidal. Especially if its of themselves.

Slimes can't really kill each other since they can't consume each other, except by blocking out their light and staying that way for quite a while.

Well, they'd have to invent either of those first. And with most tools and equipment being designed for rigid, iron-clad limbs, that's not likely for a while.

In any case, look up how the world works.

Find robots. There should be some deactivated robots around here. Learn to program then program them to obey your commands so that you can get them to do things that require being fully solid.

Looking up how the world works is futile.
You do, however, find a few robots OF SCIENCE.

Boldly head away from those nearby, seeking other slimepeople.

Sadly, you can find no other slimepeople. The station is full of SCIENCE, but dead science.
You gain a bit of PROGRAMMING SKILL learning how to program robots.

Use your robots to operate the machinery that requires one to be solid. Reap the benefits.
