"Of course you could wait around and make sure your cells weren’t mutated by psionic infiltrative agents or that you weren’t inadvertently time-shifted or electromaligned or who knows what else; the human body is fragile enough as it is without adding in all the fun little new ways superpowers can mess it up. But no, no, you assume you’re invulnerable, so go on, fly right on out of here..."

Paging Dr. Sarcasm! Love this monologue.

...Ooh. I *also* am not sure if I ever got a well-defined name for the psy-slime in place (besides "psy-slime". Which was probably actually Scoot's idea, like all the best labels I slap on things.) There may have been a little bit more 'writing by the seat of my pants' involved than usual.

Editing! I'm going to have so much fun with the editing!

(And am I ever tickled for the hat tip! Thanks.)
