Joyce-Gate hypothesis

The Joyce-Gate hypothesis suggested that the Mim were actually slime molds possessed by intelligences from higher dimensions. If proven correct it would allow the Draconians to use a slew of new weapons otherwise prohibited by law in their war with the Mim. Cheset was a Draonian zoologist who conducted research and experiments on a deceased Mim child in an effort to prove the theory. (PROSE: All Mimsy Were the Borogoves)

Behind the scenes

 * Kate Orman named the hypothesis after the characters Daniel Joyce and Penelope Gate whom she introduced. This suggests that in-universe these characters came up with the hypothesis.
