Soon after they discovered that the entity they thought was the crashes soul survivor was in fact a rare species of shapeshifting ooze that absorbs  new forms and memories by devouring living beings. After locking the angry ooze in a closet, K.A.I Hammerstein managed to calm it down. The Dinger approached the surface as the crew prepared to report what they had seen…...

## Episode 3: Crews Before Ooze

K.A.I convinced Gurliathon to grant the ooze passage aboard his ship The Dinger, The Crew learned the ooze calls itself “The Droplet Pulled From The Pool”, and immediately gave it an irreverent nickname…...Janis Droplet…….upon examining the enormous harp they found. Gurliathon told the story of its creator Florio, who is a legendary and mysterious magic user. The party left the asteroid narrowly avoiding the notice of an Elvish cruiser. After some smooth sailing The Dingers path was blocked by a giant field of earthen debris.

In an unpopular command, Gurliathon ordered The Dinger to leave post haste. Relic wore the "Junk-Buckle" Klik had given him, and K.A.I crafted another belt buckle as a special gift. Unable to pursued the Captain to heed the warnings of the Ghost, Lighthouse, The Dinger made for open Wildspace, only to find herself snared in a terrifying trap where gravity itself flipped, flinging the crew toward certain doom.

As the ship drifted cautiously into the zenith of the gravity labyrinth, the crew made final preparations. Suddenly their enemy was reviled. The terrifying ball of flesh whiled incredible power over gravity, flipping The Dinger hurling debris of ship and crew alike. Klik fought brilliantly but was nearly swallowed by the beast. K.A.I went full killer robot. The Moonboy harnessed the power of The Moon. But it was Flute bardic powers on Inspiration provided the edge needed to ultimately defeat the Gravislayer......
