The world turned, the orb of light fell, and another rose, a satellite. Unseen form, perceived while nothing noted its presence. The flowing substance, liquid, water, covered much of the world it observed. The air was thick with moisture and chemical mixtures, gaseous and to something less aware, invisible. The world's surface seemed inert to the entity, without activity, but it had no way to truly understand this state of being.

Stillness, lack of motion. These concepts did not fit what it considered this to be.

Then, moving closer to the vast water, the being entered it, unimpeded or affected by the liquid, and explored with unfeeling catharsis.

It found what it sought, in concept.

Life.

Observing for a long while, the Matrices analyzed this...[I]life[/I] and watched it move and interact with its surroundings, being effected by them and effecting them in turn. Reaching out with its formless presence it influenced the tiny creatures and found that unlike all else, its touch had an effect. The code within the tiny...organisms, reacted and one of the things became sick and [I]quickly[/I] perished. A mutation caused that did not properly sync with the rest of its form.

Intrigued by this, the Matrices drifted over the small amorphous things and again made its presence touch that of the things. It touched life and watched as its influence caused something most beautiful: Change.

While it had seen movement in the heavens by the two celestial orbs, the formless being had never seen much of this thing. Change was foreign to it, and yet now it was becoming a part of it. With each alteration it made, the creatures, cells, were modified and change occurred. This, to the being, was beautiful, but it needed something...more. So, with great patience the being tinkered and eventually the amoebas gained a heightened defense against others not of their own kind. This, however, isolated them from one another. That would be the next change, but the Matrices would take its time, for haste created only waste and time was not a worry for the being.

Not at all.

[hider=The Matrices]10% Amoebas with reinforced cell walls
0% free
90% yet to be developed

Amoebas with reinforced cell walls, granting greater defense against predatory organisms. These amoebas obtain energy through bits of protein and the like gathered from their environments.[/hider]
