1. I have a hard time believing that there's not been a government team, from any of the known galactic states, that's attempted to track down exactly where this stuff comes from, or at least how it got there. I understand such a thing would ruin the mystique, but it bothers me that something so incredibly powerful has not at least got more information than base theories. Even the Neko OS has more than this.
2. We see that fire takes out all of the Types, but lasers don't and neither does scalar. Is that a matter of energy? What about xasers/microwaves, plasma and aether? Neutron weapons? How do bullets kill goo beings?
3. Can you spell out what Types are actual slime and what are more solid organisms?
4. Is there any evidence that sensors can detect the masses?
