He noticed a crack in the concrete encasement which contained the catalyst. Once it began to leak, he feared repercussions. For his mind contained many working parts. None by itself was intelligent. Combined together; you have something that can almost think. Even ooze is capable of basic arithmetic.
Abruptly, she soars into light rain, and we tilt and turn.
