    Oh dear. Surely Sweetheart isn’t thinking what I THINK she’s thinking?!

      There will be blood.

      (Both (1) Unity’s, and then, well, inevitably see (1))

        Unity doesn’t have blood, she has a classified non-blood type substance

          I mean, it’s a solid point, and my inner pedant approves. But even her creator had referred to it as Unity’s blood. Your point is taken though.

      I THINK so David but, how are we going to get the biomass to put on a tutu while singing ‘I’m a little tea pot’?

      Sweetheart doesn’t know what she’s thinking until she says it out loud. Just bear with her.

        Why would we bear with her? I am fairly certain she is from an entirely different branch of Carnivora.

    There is no way this can go wrong.

      Beat me to it. But at least I brought the chocolate-covered raisins.

        Those were called raisonetts, back in the day, and
        I don’t think anyone remembers “mike and Ike” candy.

        I’m rather fond of “Blackjack Gum”

          You can still buy Mike & Ike.

    Oh Ya. Pandemic Unity. We are all surely doomed at this point.

      I’d rather that pandemic than the alternative.

    We need popcorn.

      Well, okay, I at least know that *I* need popcorn. But I’m willing to share.

    Wait, wait, wait.

    Isn’t this exactly how that alternate universe Biomass went into megadeath overload? Unity infecting the Biomass synergized the apocalypse!

    …or maybe that’s the point?

      Alternate universe Biomass also had Smart Unity in charge rather than, y’know, Unity.

        Yeah, but regular Unity just wants to eat things. Is that really a good idea having her infect a biomass that already wants to eat things?

        What am I saying? Of course it’s not a good idea. Carry on, then.

    Mme Swamp and Unity vs the H.T. Biomass?

    Well, anything alive in its own right will eventually vomit her out; that was established in the Saga of the Notaries Public. Short term, though…and I don’t know about infecting their zombies and their robots…

    • jdreyfuss

      I thought she caused herself to be vomited, not that it happened because of eventual rejection.

        With rare exceptions, most sentient creatures of my acquaintance know, if only a few moments before, when they’re gonna barf. I think the goo that is Unity understood it would happen, but not when.

        Virginia even told Unity that it happened because of the rejection. But it wasn’t because the animals were alive, but because they were normal. The biomass is most definitely not normal.

    This is the mad science version of Who’s On First, with a more destructive but equally hilarious punchline.

    They’re gonna put me in some bodies,
    They’re gonna squeeze my black goo out of me.
    We’ll pass it round till we’re all one and only,
    And all we gotta do is be Unity.

    Well, we’ll get it, we’ve gotta raise the big bar.
    Make Sweetheart happy, others living hell.
    This move we’ve gotta raise up the big bar,
    ‘Cause I can reinfect so well.

    Well, I hope it works out in all these new bodies,
    Then we’ll see if we can beat H. T.
    It should be cool, to swallow Anasigma,
    And all we gotta do is be Unity.

    We’ll fight it out until we’re one and only,
    Broken down and bended on our knee.
    The biggest ghoul that ever fought the big slime,
    And all we gotta do is be Unity

    Well, we’ll get it, we’ve gotta raise the big bar.

    Their cutest troops keep getting ganked. Their defense look like they have tanked. If Unity’s infectious and maybe effect us, then maybe their group won’t be flanked.

    It’s a shame: if the cutest troops had stuck around for what I think is coming, they could’ve been Lo Cutest of the Borg.
