Such curious things. They float aimlessly, struggle to continue their existence, then die, withering up and forgotten by their brethren. Perhaps This One would continue to watch them forever, for it believed them to be invincible. Triumphant, where others fall. There was the issue of the Forgotten, but they seemed to be dwindling, and were finding it difficult to get at it's precious Fire Feeders through the matted slime it secreted. The depths were calm, and that is all it had wished. Then, a thought occurred: How long has This One been watching them exactly? It had no concept of time, except for the gradual change in the environment around it. And much change had happened. So, leaving them be for now, it floated to the top of the vast ocean, and observed something most peculiar.

There were others. Immeasurable others. Of many shades and colors. It was beautiful. Some were clumping together, and behaving as one, though rudimentary, and with many mistakes. The Evil Ones now secreted death, and preyed on those weaker than it. One curious example even made a bubbling sound, which fascinated This One. Another thought crossed it's mind: There were other cells. Could there be... Other One's, who floated and observed? It cried out as loud as it could, but no response was made. Most curious indeed. Perhaps, there is another way.

It fell back into the depths, and invested all it's understanding into the Fire Feeder's Code. With much effort, a change had occurred, and the species split, as planned. These new ones no longer survived off the heat, and could float freely into the shallows. A curious shape had taken them as well: The slime clumped them together, and created an immeasurably thin film, flattening them into a disk shape. They caught the Tiny Ones in it's film, and ingested them. This was a huge step. And if This One's hypothesis was correct, the other Cells would change as well. With much fear, it watched, as it's new experiment floated to the surface...

15% - Diverging the Fire Feeders
5% - Developing the new species disk shape.
0% - Free
80% - Undeveloped.

Using all it's knowledge gained thus far, The Crawling Seeker has split the Fire Feeders into a shallows exploiter, catching each other two form a primitive colony. The slime also catches Prokaryotes for energy.[/hider]
