As the black blob sunk to the muddy depths of the pool it missed out on an event it might have found a little familiar, although lets be honest it probably wouldn’t have done. It was at that moment thrashing wildly in an attempt to swim ultimately made pointless by its complete lack of buoyancy. It continued to go through the motions even after becoming lodged in the mud at the bottom of the pool, until it forgot the concept of swimming entirely and proceeded to wallow merrily in the mud.
In the room around it memories were being further discarded. Learned behaviours were being cast away and the assembled crowd of creatures were reverting to their most basic animalistic instinct. Formerly intelligent ministers snarled as they circled one another on all fours. Species tended to band together if only because of the bizarreness of the creatures surrounding them. A human whooped and hollered after tearing out the throat of one of the amphibious yahlang with his teeth. A pair of golem ministers having reverted to their most basic programming stared blankly into space and said ‘hello world’ every couple of minutes.
From one side of the room there was a mind-numbing screech as the siskan minister emerged from its cocoon. While it was usually the most learned and wise of the ministers, one who they looked to in times of difficulty, it had now reverted to the titanic monster that its species had evolved from. Its massive carapace was dull green, venom foamed out from between its clacking mandibles, and its enormous claws were dulled from disuse but still strong enough to snap a human in half; which they promptly did. Upon seeing the monstrous form of the siskan the ministers flight or fight instincts kicked in and they fled the room as quickly as they could, which wasn’t really very quickly as they had forgotten how to use doors.
Momentarily the irkoan official returned and opened the door. It was promptly swept away, having not expected the flood of panicked ministers that came pouring through. Of course a couple of the more obfuscated ministers remained in the break room, attempting to fight the scorpion-like monster, but they were quickly taken care of. They were knocked aside, snapped in half, poisoned or outright eaten alive by the siskan minister and within a couple of minutes of the small black blob jumping into the pool the room was empty but for the corpses and siskan.
