As the world molded his creations, the Matrices watched with avid interest. The more aggressive species began to diverge somewhat, but it did not quite slip from the being's control. Both colonies, Agro and Passi, developed more effective methods to communicate with one another. Chemicals were developed so the cells could communicate when to 'move' or to 'stop'. However something unique developed in each. The Agro colonies, in addition to being aggressive, gained a new communications trait or two. They learned to 'move' in chase of other organisms and to intentionally trigger their bodies to open. In essence the forming organism began to form a 'mouth' of sorts, however, this mouth and digestion system was its entire body. These colonies would chase other organisms and attempt to 'open' themselves, only to close once more, trapping creatures inside their bodies and trying to digest them.

The process was not very effective as of yet, but was a primitive hunting technique nonetheless. It would cause them, at times, to ingest organisms stronger than themselves, thus causing them death or great injury when the creature managed to eat the organism from the inside out. The enzymes utilized to digest were not fast enough to protect them, nor always strong enough to kill the organisms they ate before they were too damaged to resist.

The Passi colonies, however, slowly grew small foldable flagella on the outside portions of their body. These flagella were simply a modified form of the flagella-like nerve connections utilized for communication within their bodies. As such these colonies were faster than some of the organisms that attempted to attack them, thus allowing them to flee. This system was still not very effective as they did not seem to store enough energy to swim away for long.

Both designs had incredible flaws, but the Matrices thought them both to be incredibly intriguing. Soon it would be time to influence them once more, but the entity would wait till then. For while it could feels its power growing, it knew it was not quite great enough to do what it wished to.

Agro have learned communication allowing primitive hunting techniques as 'one' organism. This is not very effective as of yet and tends to get them killed unless they target considerably smaller and/or weaker organisms. The Agro colonies have not developed very effective enzymes or internal mechanisms to defend themselves from internal attack or to 'close' their body fast enough to effectively trap other organisms, allowing faster creatures to slip out before they can be caught.

Passi have modified the nerve-like formations within their body so they grow along the outside of the colony, allowing them to utilize them for locomotion to escape. They do not possess enough stamina to swim for long, but it is an improvement nonetheless. Additionally, the individual cells do not yet have effective enough communication to swim entirely in unison, thus causing them to sometimes separate parts of themselves from the main colony, leaving botht he individual cell(s) and the colony itself open to attack.[/hider]
