Time's gradual progression continued to allow changes in the organisms ruled by the Matrices' will, though its will touched them not for some time now. Observing them closely, the being noted that they appeared to both lack qualities that the others possessed. The colonies were each incomplete, but perhaps together they could function properly.

As such, the entity pulled on the strings of behavioral DNA and altered both ever so slightly, allowing them to mingle more often. There was, however, an issue, the being wished to allow both parties one another's capabilities, but there was no way for them to transfer these between the organisms. Considering this, the entity began to tinker with their reproductive processes until it ended up with a rudimentary system of sorts. After some time both colony groups would become one group, of sorts, their offspring becoming more than their predecessors through the process of reproducing sexually, rather than asexually.

This single modification was the Matrices will for the moment and so following this the being backed off once more and watched their progression, noticing the issues related to sexual reproduction begin to show themselves. A competition of sorts arose between the two rudimentary sexes which would shift depending on the population of the surrounding colonies in terms of gender association. The switching would confuse all colonies, there needed to be further improvements to this, but the being would bide its time until it was prepared to make the needed modifications once more.

As such the Agro and Passi colony groups began to dissipate and be replaced by what the Matrices called 'Amor' colonies. These had some traits from both Agro and Passi colony. The differences varied between the many individuals. Some had faster movement and were capable of hunting through a strange reversed method, by allowing predators to tire from chasing them, only to then turn on the tired organisms and engulf their form, devouring them.

Some of them did nothing of the sort and would instead engulf their prey completely and then thrash their bodies around, beating the creature(s) to death by using their flagella to move their individual cell bodies back and forth so as to slam into the ingested prey.

The differences continued to appear, but still none of the colonies diverged from the Matrices' control as all of them shared the same basic genetic make up. None were so different as to split the Matrices' sphere of influence.

Not yet at least.

[hider=The Matrices]
15% Communal amoebas. Share nutrients. One group aggressive, another submissive/passive. Possess nerve-like communication systems and outer armor.
15% free
70% yet to be developed

The Matrices has modified his colonies to become extremely simple sexual organisms, thus creating the 'Amor' colony group. There is a great amount of differentiation within the individuals, but none have yet become so different as to diverge.[/hider]
