"Yeah, that goo is nasty stuff. You might not want to be around it yourself at all, just send him through."

A minute later, it opens-and-shuts again, disgorging a differently-winged triplet.
"Something about nasty goo?"

"Bright. Stupidly bright. It didn't even have the excuse of being daytime, the walls were glowing."

"...It was explained to me as being like parlor tricks only quicker and easier but you probably don't have parlor tricks. It... should be pretty easy once you've figured it out...?"

"Thanks," he snorts.
Enormous clouds of steam billow from the site of the goo. "Okay, I got some of it..."

"Yeah, you're not going to be able to handle the same volumes I can as quickly. But however they're generating it they had to haul all their materials through a heck of a maze, I bet you can outpace them. You could turn it into air too but it'll be slower, densities are farther off. You can also outright shrink it and then turn it into water."

"All right then. I'm expecting more goop and other unpleasantness in the maze, I hacked my way through a lot of it but the aliens have likely re-unpleasanted it by now. You'll get a little quicker with practice anyway."

Which makes this trip much pleasanter than the one Cam took the other way!
"They got around me while I was on Earth," he says. "So there must be multiple routes through the maze between clam planet and Earth. I didn't check the whole maze. Want to, as long as their current strategy seems to have been 'plug the hole and run like hell'?"

And Elarron ensures that the relays are untroubled by goo. Or burning sand. Why is all this stuff so horrible.

It's pretty horrible! But Elarron is an angel and things do not have to be allowed to horrible around him.

Water water water. Some of these Spheres are getting pretty drowned. Whatever, it's not a big problem.
