There was another pause as the blob still held its 10 tendrils at the ready as if to strike the field again, then nine of the tendrils seemed to get sucked back into the body of the blob, and the single remaining tendril grew to a slightly larger and thicker size. There was a ripple through the blob’s body and suddenly within the field was a small 2 inch tall male figure, it seemed human and dressed in something like a early 1800s era cowboy garb. The figure wore all the usual attire for a cowboy of that time period including a revolver of some sort. The larger tendril seemed to be guiding the movements of the cowboy in the field who was currently pacing back and forth as if watching something off in the distance.

Stacey would be struck that this mirrored his earlier interaction with the two twin girls’ from the ancient Earth movie The Shining. As they all watched the cowboy seemed to point at something, then spoke! “..You act like those pretty ladies in town, all dressed up, fluffing out their chests, and trying to lure in men like me!” the small cowboy said.

“Goodness gracious!” V’alura gasped, staring in awe at the little cowboy being puppet’ed by the blob. This must be drawn from another movie of some sorts, a scene that reflected what the blob felt. She glanced towards Stacy and Marlaa, wondering what they thought about all this. This scene the blob choose. . . it must be purposeful. Pretty ladies. . . dressed up. . . luring in men like him. . . V’alura turned towards her team, deep in thought. Could it be that the blobs were attracted towards large energy sources like the Ark Angel and the Synthesis? Or was the blob accusing them of purposefully trying to attract it’s attention? Personally, she leaned towards the former than the latter. She felt they shouldn’t take what the blob says too literally. “Thoughts?” She asked the others.

It was also possible given the blob’s could absorb organic brain patterns as they had evidence of it was not from a movie but it could have been a real life cowboy from the 1800s on Earth....

There was still too much they didn’t know about the blob. “It’s still too early to know if it’s merely mimicking the data it may have eaten, or if it’s actually trying to communicate with us.” Gavin stated. He paused for a moment, and then slowly looked back at the CSO.

“If the blob is able to devour organic energy, isn’t it safe to assume it can learn from the organic material it may have eaten from a humanoid?” Ensign Stacey asked.

Given that the blob had shown it could absorb and learn/understand digital forms of data this was also likely true from what Stacey said.

As this all was discussed the cowboy in the field spoke, “..You all prance around all fancy pancy like. But you sure better bet we can all see what no good you’re all getting up too in treating us good folks here on the ranch like! Soon we’ll rise up sure as the rain falls from the sky and lick you no good savages off our lands!” He said shaking a fist at those outside the field.
