《Dungeon Code》R3 - BIOS'ed Representation
Advertisement
Excerpt from the Encyclopaedia Multiverca:
E.M.P. n. 1. Enigmatic Mega Pulse, the weakness of all goo-based systems. There has only been one of these until recent times, which is thought to be due to the initialization of the original iteration of the 'system'.
E.m.P. n. 1. Enigmatic mini Pulse, a localized version of the E.M.P., which temporarily brings all goo-based operations to a halt while the local host re-boots. This can be due to sudden runtime environment changes, such as cerebral goo shock.
At long last every living being had been exposed to the green goo; whether by implantation or direct contact with implanted subjects.
The sticking point came with this milestone event - the first E.M.P., or Enigmatic Mega Pulse, and initialization of the 'system'. The world wide web (now global goo grouping) was forced to a grinding halt as this happened, yet the new implementation of networked computational interfaces quickly adapted to localized node distribution. Short-distance communicaion was greatly improved, and line of sight comms became nearly instantaneous. Long distance transmissions were another matter... predisposing all to be somewhat biased about the matter. Who wants to lose their japanese anime, their american reality TV, their English dramas, their European documentaries of things the researchers have no clue about? Ba-baow. All gone. No more ads, no more shoddy TV. All transmissions actually needed to be clear, concise, and to the point. No fluffing around, or it became slime out... The system decreased intelligence stats for airy-fairy speculation of arm-chair philosophers when their views were... less than logical. The system also decreased the intelligence stat of viewers who enjoyed the ramblings of crazy less-than-tied-to-reality social justice warriors.
Fortunately for our story, the initialization of the system activated every batch of green goo. After all, global launches are only global when all articles on the globe go online.

The first researcher to make the boo-boo and fall in the goo-goo crystallized his thought processes. In the not-first-ever goo-to-you moment (everybody had already come in contact with some form of the goo) he unwittingly responded to the blue box in front of him.
