Goldy can't see it, but Jen's smiling at that that second BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM. But the slime is everywhere, and it's not clear where bug slime leaves off and Oil begins, so Jen's already trying to leap clear of her bug's thrashing tail and avoid slimeification. She takes a THWACK to her shin before she leaps high, when the realization hits: the Oil. When she turns to look behind her, she sees slime in the air everywhere in place of Goldy's bug.
"The Oil! Goldy, watch the Oil! Don't let it get to your face or any orifices!"
And now, Jen, a distinguished veteran of situations both implausible and ridiculous, has crossed a hitherto uncrossable hurdle.
"...that's the first time I've ever said 'orifices' in the heat of battle."
She's landed with a CHOOM near a second bug, and then jumps again, trying to land on its back.

"Sit, Marmaduke! SIT!"
Well, it worked for Hank McCoy, didn't it?
