Gooey

A gooey is a barely animate mass of 100% pure liquid biogel. Its volume typically matches that of the sapient organism from whom the gooey was made. That organism's still-conscious mind controls the gooey's limited mobility and interactivity. A gooey can typically move around at a rate of 1cm/second and interact with the world with a force generally not exceeding that of a gentile push or press.

Gooeys are usually created when ultra-reactive biogel comes into contact with any sapient organic being. More controlled gooey transformation can be achieved using programmed biogel, and this latter process is used in most of the gooey creating interactive devices installed within the Gelitech Gelariums.

If a raw gooey comes into contact with a non-biogel-wearing sapient organism's naked fur or flesh, it will adhere to that organism before spreading to cover it in a new biogel suit. The gooey's excess mass falls away and becomes solid and inert, leaving the gooey's mind within the biogel suit.

Most gooeys are reprocessed into more useful forms. Of these, the vast majority have their volumes reduced to roughly one liter and are packaged in capsules for use in biogel suit vending machines, or for the wear of Gelitech employees and Biogel Games gelfighters.
