You are the non. We are the Mycon. We are part of Juffo-Wup. This is a special place, filled with Juffo-Wup. We are the agents of Juffo-Wup. We are the Mycon. ---

Here’s my question: Why did you design your ships in such a way that you can be trivially made to smash into your own projectiles? 😃 -P ---

This reminds me of the time I tried to negotiate a deal between a Mycon and an Orz. My translator computer crashed, reformatted, and then jettisoned itself out the airlock. ---

[QUOTE=NaturalBlondChap] As you appear to be soliciting questions, what is for lunch and when will it get here? I am quite peckish and keen to know. [/QUOTE] A single spore lands, finds nourishment in decay and soon attains maturity… In turn it exhales a cloud of life, a thousand spores land… so progresses Juffo-Wup. [QUOTE=Parthol] Here’s my question: Why did you design your ships in such a way that you can be trivially made to smash into your own projectiles? 😃 -P [/QUOTE] Perhaps, if we were to plant spore sacs in your brain organ and let its tendrils spread through your flesh, then you would truly understand Juffo-Wup… become part of Juffo-Wup. [QUOTE=Scuba\_Ben] What happened to the Androsynth anyway? [/QUOTE] We look to Juffo-Wup for direction, and it provides the pattern – endless expansion with purity of achievement and intolerance of error. ---

Ah mushroom soup, well it is a cool winter day so that would be jolly pleasant. The airborne dispersal delivery method sounds interesting, I shall await with anticipation and some kitchen wipes. Have you considered tupperware instead? ---

Greatest game ever. They don’t make 'em like that anymore. I hope you realize that now I’m going to be forced to pull out my walkthrough and play the entire thing from start to finish this weekend. Thanks for nothing. (I may sacrifice crewmen instead of stealing the second Mycon egg-husk this time just for shits and giggles.) ---

Hi Mr. Mycon, I am a member of the Gamorrean race. What I would like to know is, do you come in truffle form? Are all of you tasty? ---

In dealing with the constraints of interstellar empire and the control of stars, one has often come to a question unanswerable. What, precisely, is there to do at 3PM on Sunday when it’s raining? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-mycon/415942.md?page=2)
