"Doola-aunk had been bleeding for five turns-of-the-star when the Wanderer had finally caught their scent and engaged them in comingle. Doola’s race could only bleed for a week and unless the comingle stopped it…the bleeder would bleed to death… The two merglings’ skin connected together and for the rest of their comingle lifespan, they would share thoughts and intentions, goals and the whims of fate. The mergling’s comingle had spawned the next “layer” of intelegent life which, now in its new form, could enter the star-core generator fields that allowed for passage across galaxies. In their immature form, Doola-aunk’s physical body would have been shredded by the forces involved in folded-dimensional travel. But, now comingled with a stranger that was never to leave…the NEW Doola…Doola-Bak-Reh-Hee, would travel the stars!"
