Ah, progress. This One is greatly pleased with the progress made. The Disk Clump and the Fire Feeders now spoke and acted as One, working together to survive the harshness of this world. Much progress had been made, though a new problem in the endless stream of complications had presented itself: The slime was now ineffective, and This One's creations were being hunted mercilessly. While the Fire Feeders were safe, the Disk Clump was an easy target, and filled the bellies of many of the new creatures. So, it would appear that This One must revisit the code, as this was unacceptable.

Firstly, it finished what it had wanted to do for a while, and gave the Disk Clumps some mobility, in the form of a gentle flapping. It had no idea where it was going, or where to go, but it was a start, albeit a slow one. Then, it invested it's remaining power into finding some sort of defense. But how? There is nowhere else that is not inhabited by Others... Then ingenuity struck: why not have the Disk Clumps MAKE their own homes? And with gleeful excitement, It set about incorporating the surrounding minerals into it's creation, and, while many died, a simple, thin shell was slowly becoming a reality.

20% - Mobility enhancement
5% - Disk Clump mineral absorption
75% - Undeveloped

The Disk Clumps can now move independently of the water current, albeit slowly and without direction. Also, the Disk Clumps are now absorbing minerals from the environemnt such as silica and salts, in the hope that one day they can form a shell to prevent predation.[/hider]
