Static buzzed into Shieldman's processing core as Ka Sve Gle attempted to communicate with him. While he couldn't understand a word of the intrusion, the tiger looked a bit apprehensive, then began to slink off, leaving a trail of static in his wake. Shieldman wondered at what he had been saying, if he was saying anything. His thought was cut short, however, by a growing dark presence in the room. He turned his head, and was greeted with the sight of greyish black goop seeping out of every nook and cranny in the wall. A massive lump was forming, formless as of yet, in the center of the room.
Shieldman looked at it.
It vaguely looked back at him.

Was it trying to say something? Could slimes talk, even?
"...doublepluskill."
An armlike wave of goo leapt from the main body, slamming into Shieldman before he could react. He crashed through the flimsy plaster wall behind him, flinging him into the hallway the other contestants had exited into. The arm had felt... decidedly un-gloopy, for sure. Perhaps they could harden themselves if a critical mass was achieved? Shieldman filed that thought away for later research. The current situation was more pressing; specifically, the somewhat humanoid figure approaching through the hole in the wall.
Shieldman scrambled to his feet.
"Sir! Gray... gelatinous creature! You are under arrest for assaulting an officer of the Law!"
It was a giant ball of squishy gel, true. But it had spoken, so it deserved to be notified of its rights.
A faint sound of motorcycles drifted through the corridor...</font>
