Primordial Soup

From Space Quest Omnipedia

A can of Primordial Soup. Scientists at Genetix made a discovery that this substance can mutate lifeforms into hideous blob-like humanoids/creatures that have a very bad attitude. A scientist tested the soup on a lab rat, which turned into something resembling a big snot-ball a few days later. The scientist got bit and started showing signs of mutating likewise. Genetix closed off the section where this scientist got infected in an effort to contain the virus, but their doctors couldn't figure out a cure for this, while not deadly, but dangerous disease. A group of bandits managed to retrieve all the remaining cans of the soup and sold it illegally to Raems T. Quirk which turned out to be a mistake, as Quirk and his crew were infected with the disease. They all turned into pukoids, but Quirk launched himself in a huge mess of the soup and turned into the "Pukoid blob".
