The attacks on his creatures continued, but the Matrices did not seem to mind. Their efforts were not all that fruitful, but it did bother the entity that his own creations had no way to retaliate against the creatures. Contemplating this dilema, but saving his power and influence, which the Matrices found was growing rather steadily. Thus, the being did very little, only making small modifications to their behavior, modifications that differed between the two colonies.

One colony became less aggressive and more easily frightened. The Matrices made no other changes to it, wishing only to see what genetic alterations might arise from this small modification. The being would observe how its environment would modify its code naturally, something it had not allowed to really happen for a long while due to its experimentation and influence over the organisms.

With this same ideal in mind, the Matrices turned its focus to the other colony, which it would refer to as colony Agro, with the other being the Passi colony. This colony would become, as a whole, slightly more aggressive in nature. It was more likely to fight back against foreign threats, than it was to run away.

From there, the being simply observed, watching how Agro and Passi would flee, or fight. It was interesting to watch the subtle changes that came about as time past. Changes that the being choose, for the moment, to play out.

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

The Matrices is experimenting with speciation. Two behaviorally distinct groups have been created: Agro and Passi. Agro amoebas are more aggressive and tend to attack, as a whole, other creatures that threaten them. Passi amoebas are more timid and tend to run away from threats, attempting to escape. Neither are very good at their goal and both suffer from communication errors, at times. Additionally, neither has yet adapted enough to be truly specialized.[/hider]
