13HRP – 0077 – Cumulative Goo
Object Class: Orange Tier — Spreading Biohazard
Alternate Names: “The Evergoo,” “Runaway Slime,” “Mirror Tar”
Description
13HRP – 0077 – Cumulative Goo is a dark-green to black, sticky semi-fluid with heavy thickness and strange adhesive behavior. Unlike ordinary slime, Cumulative Goo spreads faster the more it is touched. Moreover, every attempt to wipe, clean, or burn it only makes the outbreak worse, often turning a small smear into a large wave.
Key properties:
- Self-Spreading:
- When skin touches the goo, it clings to the subject and will not come off unless the person is placed in isolation.
- In addition, wiping the goo makes two patches instead of one, since both the subject and the tool remain coated.
- Within minutes, the goo seeps through clothing, equipment, and flooring, leaving behind sticky trails that continue to grow.
- Persistence:
- Normal methods such as burning, freezing, or dissolving fail against the goo.
- Fire only creates more of the substance, which flows outward like molten tar and worsens the outbreak.
- Containment attempts often fail; for instance, when staff seal it inside airtight cases, the goo builds pressure and bursts out within hours.
- Cognitive Hazard (Minor):
- Longer exposure leads to thoughts such as “it’s already filling my chest” or “everything is goo now.”
- Furthermore, some victims spread it on purpose, smearing it on walls and tools. This behavior speeds the outbreak and weakens containment.
Researchers believe the substance grows by consuming both organic and inorganic matter, turning everything into more goo. As a result, if not stopped, Cumulative Goo could swallow entire buildings within only a few days.
Containment Procedures
- Store Cumulative Goo in a reinforced, vacuum-sealed cryo-case inside Site-██.
- All research must occur inside negative-pressure labs with three decontamination gates.
- Ban all physical contact. In case of accidental release, staff must seal off the area at once.
- Place all exposed staff in quarantine until medical teams cut away the goo. However, new growth often returns and may not be avoidable.
Recovery Log
The first recovery team discovered Cumulative Goo dripping inside a collapsed Mirror World stairwell after a spatial fissure. The goo appeared to “drip from nowhere,” hanging in midair before falling. When the team tried to gather samples, the goo spread across three operatives, killing them within hours. Demolition crews collapsed the stairwell using explosives to slow further spread.
Incident-0077-A
During a small breach, a researcher made the mistake of using rags to mop the goo. This triggered rapid duplication—the mop and floor dissolved completely. As a result, the chamber filled with slime in less than 12 minutes before lockdown procedures took effect. Survivors later reported that the goo seemed to “laugh” as it spread.
Directive – Grand Council of Xikeony (Seal)
“We forbid attempts at weapon use: for every foe it drowns, it will drown two allies.”
— Grand Council of Xikeony, Ordinance 77.Φ
“Record 0077 as one of the creeping plagues. The Cumulative Goo does not kill quickly, and it does not reason. Its true curse is to grow inconvenience into disaster.
Therefore, treat it with disdain and fear alike. It will not stop until all things become the same black surface.”
