That could work. As you say, then the question becomes what Schlock intends to do with a small army of amorphs -- or even one? Hum, would it help to have a potential duplicate for himself to step in somewhere? Oh, wait, doesn't the real Schlock on the show change colors and turn into a human? With the others, they might be able to handle that...
Could Lunesby access a chunk of amorph? If indeed they are derived from storage (don't I vaguely remember something about that), would a chunk of Schlock provide either a message to Lunesby or a method for smuggling him/herself out? Could Lunesby download into that small a piece? (I do remember that Schlock tucked away some significant memories in an eyeball once...)
It could be a stone, in which case poor Shafter may be being set up as a red herring of some kind. Of course, given the way Schlock has been absorbing and spitting stuff, who knows what he may have picked up in the trash, right?
What else?
