Home Sweet Home...?

Hey, it's me again! Since you last saw me, I just flew my ship over to a whole different planet... except for me, it's not new at all.

That's right, I decided I'm gonna show you my home planet Syndomera next! Remember way far back when I was walking in the rain on Alakinec and I was talking about it a little? Well ever since then I've been thinking about how I wanna drop by here at some point. And some stuff came together, so...I think now's the time for that!

>>Safety Advisory: Warning! The surface conditions of planet Syndomera are hostile to most forms of life. Exiting the ship right now without proper safety equipment may put you at risk of fatal irradiation, lung damage, suffocation, eye damage, skin damage, nausea, mental assault, mercury poisoning...

Yeah I know my home world sucks, and yeah my track record for not following safety warnings and then getting immediately owned has been kind of high lately. But I'm an ozecium! This is where I came from, I was here for years!

And I'll do all the explaining about my planet this time, too.

>Acknowledged. Disabling safety locks.

>Planet's environment is hostile to my systems.

So, here it is! This is the place where I grew up!

Well sort of. I didn't actually grow up here-here in particular...and blobs don't have a life cycle or really "grow up" into anything specific. We just kind of...exist, for as long as we can? Until we die or get eaten or start being someone else. ...Anyway I think you know what I meant though.

Planet Syndomera's kind of a big dump with lots of ruins and wastelands, and everything's dead and awful. It's technically still got some living stuff, though. Like those red plant things, those still grow in a lot of places.

Some scientists said the plants feed off of all the ambient radiation instead of sunlight, cuz the sunlight here sucks. I guess they also don't need much water, cuz right now we're in the drylands where there's no hecking water anywhere and the ground flakes and crumbles apart like way-too-burnt cheesebread, and yet those things are still growing everywhere!

You get tired of how the red plants taste after awhile but in a lot of cases the other options for a blob to eat are dirty water or just plain dirt...unless you're trying gonna start hunting down other blobs and absorbing them completely to become ever larger and more powerful psionic predators that assimilate everything around them body and mind. Which is, uh.

Well, that's actually what A Lot of us ozecia do. Like, most of us actually.

Sooo.. yeah! I'm hoping I get to show some other blobs while I'm showing you my home planet, but I specifically chose somewhere to land where I wouldn't run into any other blobs first thing! But I'll tell you about any nice ones I meet...!
