And no reason (other than surface tension) for the ball to stick together.
And no reason for the ball to stay put, either. After someone "dives" in,
the ball would probably shatter into a million droplets, which would stick
to the nearest surface, be it a person or the walls of the room.

Was it perhaps "The Menace from Earth", yet another of

The ANNIC NOVA was never a "official" design in any of the Traveller starship
design systems, and as far as I know, it's origin was never determined, although
it was certainly extra-Imperial. As far as rating it in T:TNE, you could do a
lot worse than just translating the descriptions in the text into T:TNE or BL
game terms. It has a negligable accelleration, J-2 and J-3 powered by solar
collectors, two small craft, and two laser turrets (which have an accurate
fire control system, treat as a Master Fire Director that can ignore one level
of difficulty).

YES!
