Mutant Engineer Rescued By Mud Golem Carried From Cave By Clay Invention Interviewer: “Mutant Engineer, how did you escape the thousand foot drop you had been left in?”
Mutant Engineer: “Huh? I built an AI out of mud, using the dripping walls as a source of energy.“ Interviewer: “Mutant Engineer was carried by a living creature of mud of their own invention out of one of the deepest caverns in this area.” Mutant Engineer: “I had to code differently, because I was trapped in complete darkness, and each transistor was disposable and made out of a grain of mud falling onto an open bridge between two others making a path for a water droplet, and it moved incredibly, incredibly slowly until I finally followed sound to an underground waterfall for it to collect kinetic energy.” Mud Golem stands next to Mutant Engineer in a hospital room. Mud Golem looks like a writhing mass of interconnected diverse ribbons of mud and water, a moving and changing humanoid mud fractal. Interview: “Mutant Engineer, why did you come back up to this world where AI dictators control our every choice, instead of staying in underground cavern networks at the head of a secret community of mud golems of your own?” [ … [realization] … “you can’t trust the butler bots!”
