Ohhh, IIRC the people goo is a nanomachine substance, no? A castmate of Gorgug's did take a sample of it from Gorgug when he first arrived.

There would be no other means of passing through the barrier without removing a section, correct? Unless it could be possible via passing through the...goo???

Does the gunk have any properties to it? Is it affecting the barrier in any way, or is it just sitting there uselessly? Gorgug got his new lab toys for analysing substances...!!
