Document Title:
Subject Report — Cross-Species Reaction Study: "Slime Interaction Tests"
Location: Central Genetic Wing, Tenari Research Complex
Classification: Level-3 Restricted / Internal Circulation Only
Supervising Officer: Dr. Koryhok Avaris
Date Stamp: 2–6–972

Background Context
The native slime species of Tenari have been long observed as harmless, semi-sapient entities that thrive near mana springs and ether-rich soil. Their gelatinous bodies display unique responses when consumed or when in contact with living hosts. Due to their remarkable nutrient density and their magical resonance, controlled tests were approved to measure both biological and psychological responses in select experiments within the facility.

Experiment Reactions
Experiment 0147
Reaction Summary:
0147 displayed initial curiosity, pressing its snout against the glass containment of the slime jar before quickly withdrawing. Upon ingestion of a small slime sample, its body temperature rose by 4 degrees, and faint glowing patterns formed across the ribcage area.
Behavioral Shift:
After ten minutes, 0147 exhibited visible confusion — alternating between calm and mild agitation. Vocalizations included muffled laughter followed by repeated utterances of "It's singing in my stomach."
Notable Side Effect:
The glowing pattern pulsed rhythmically with 0147's heartbeat, confirming an internal mana resonance reaction.

Experiment 0169 ("Theo")
Reaction Summary:
0169 reacted defensively at first, baring teeth and muttering that "it feels alive." Once coaxed, ingestion was partial — the slime apparently dissolved mid-contact, absorbed through the saliva instead of full swallowing.
Behavioral Shift:
Minutes later, 0169 began to relax, pupils dilating and eye colors shifting unpredictably between turquoise, violet, and amber hues.
When questioned, 0169 stated softly, "It's warm… and kind of happy in there."
Magical Side Effects:
A faint psionic echo was detected — the recording microphone picked up quiet whispers not produced by either participant, believed to originate from the slime's telepathic residue.

Experiment 0204
Reaction Summary:
0204 swallowed the entire slime mass eagerly. Shortly after ingestion, its abdomen became semi-translucent, glowing with faint blue light.
Behavioral Shift:
When prodded by Dr. Koryhok using a blunt instrument, the belly reacted with a light boing sound, echoing a magical resonance tone. 0204 began laughing uncontrollably and claimed, "It's bouncing back! Like it's alive!"
Side Effects:
Temporary buoyancy observed. 0204's center of mass fluctuated, making balance difficult for approximately 4 minutes.

Experiment 0212
Reaction Summary:
The slime was placed in contact with 0212's fur rather than ingested. The slime adhered briefly, then released light motes before vanishing.
Behavioral Shift:
0212 appeared momentarily entranced — eyes unfocused, voice lowered, stating "It remembers… a field… and rain."
Side Effects:
Unknown telepathic feedback. Mana detectors registered faint psionic interference resembling emotional memory transference.

General Observations
Emotional Echo Phenomenon:
Every test subject, regardless of species type, experienced some form of empathy or telepathic resonance from the slime, often manifesting as warmth, nostalgia, or temporary confusion.
Color and Glow Variation:
The internal glow color directly corresponded to the slime's native subtype — Aqua Slimes caused blue illumination, Fire Slimes created reddish-orange hues, while Ether Slimes produced a shimmering violet tone.
Magical Belly Response:
Ingested slimes induced temporary "bouncy" or buoyant belly texture, harmless but unnerving to subjects. This lasted between 2 to 9 minutes depending on the slime type.
Psionic Whispers:
Detected on multiple recording tapes, resembling words such as "warm," "float," "safe," and occasionally "hungry." These phenomena remain unexplained but non-threatening.

Dr. Koryhok's Field Note (Personal Annotation)
"They're not parasites — more like travelers. The slimes aren't attacking from within; they're trying to communicate. I believe their presence stirs old instincts in the experiments — remnants of their original, natural lives before transformation."
"Recommend further tests with emotional monitors active. The slimes might be keys to restoring lost behavioral balance."
