Pinned

Pinned

Cocci

Your shape is round, and while you're an independent organism on your own, your morphology makes it easier to become part of a group of cells.

Bacilli

Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria, which are usually solitary. Some are known to form colonies though.

Spirochaete

Spirochaete shaped cells belong to their own Phylum, being distinct from all other types of bacteria. You have a long, helically coiled cell.

Vibrio

Shaped almost like a comma, your cell is a curved rod. A rarer morphology, Vibrio organisms are often pathogens.

Morphology Determined

You already have an external structure.

Explore Your Environment

Ocean Shallows

Regardless of where you are in the ocean there are many things to discover. Of course as a basic organism your ability to get around is limited.

Opportunities

Opportunities

Don't go too far

Your environment may be bigger than you think. You want to be careful about how far you go.

Explore without hesitation

A modest challenge

Certainly your environment can't be that scary.

NOTE: This will always use up an "Energy Reserve."

            1
            You need Adaptability 1 (you have 3)

            1
            You need 1 x Energy Reserves  (you have 9)

            1
            Unlocked with Adaptability 1 - you have 3

Use the tides to find nutrients

A straightforward challenge

You can let the tides take you to new places in the hopes of finding a bounty of nutrients.

Maybe there will be rocky crags or a nice bank of sand to burrow into.

Note: This will gain you extra resourcefulness.

Mutations

Mutations are simply changes to genetic material, whether helpful or harmful. They can happen in a variety of ways.

Big changes are about to happen to life on Earth. What brought them about for your organism?

Pinned

Pinned

Transposons

Parts of your genes have literally rearranged themselves. ATGCTGC became CTGCATG. That's bound to create some changes to your organism.

Radiation

Radiation can come from a variety of sources, such as certain elements or even cosmic rays from the sun. It can also cause cell death, which can be extremely dangerous when you've only got one.

Replication errors

Not as complex as transposons, it could be a simple change of one amino acid in your DNA. CTG becomes CAG. Even small things can have big consequences.

Infected by viruses

Not quite alive, but not inactive either. Viruses can infect a single cell and wreak havoc on DNA, splicing in parts of its own code to replicate and break you down. Your DNA is certain to have some alterations if you survive.


Hopefully it's helpful

Mutations can be good or bad. Or neutral, with no major effect on you life or behavior. But since you've suffered from radiation once already, it had the potential to happen again.

Mutations can happen in a variety of ways

Radiation caused your Mutations

You now have 1 x Progress.

Storms on the Horizon

Ocean Shallows

The nearest to the sun that your organism will come

The surface of the Earth is a tumultuous place, with frequent storms and fluctuating temperatures. Living near it can be hazardous.

Opportunities

Opportunities

Dive down deeper

A very modest challenge

Usually you swim in random directions, but today you need to get away from the storm.

Stay right where you are

A tough challenge

You don't fear a few waves. In fact, enduring through the experience will probably make you stronger.

            1
            You need Adaptability 1 (you have 3)

            1
            You need 1 x Energy Reserves  (you have 10)

            1
            Unlocked with Adaptability 1 - you have 3

            1
            Unlocked with 1 x Energy Reserves  - you have 10


It's calmer here

Dive down deeper

A very modest challenge

A little further from the surface and you're safe. You'll be better at this the next time it happens.

Chemoautotroph

That's what you are, a chemoautotroph. You produce your energy independently, through inorganic materials. You might use hydrogen sulfide, methane, elemental sulfur, or ammonia. You absorb things like carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a by-product.

Pinned

Pinned

Oxidize

You're able to collect inorganic materials, strip them of electrons to change their chemical make-up, and transform them into energy.

This will gain you Resourcefulness and convert Inorganic Materials into Energy Reserves.

            10
            You need 10 x Inorganic Materials  (you have 345)

            10
            Unlocked with 10 x Inorganic Materials  - you have 345

Greater Efficiency

You've learned how to oxidize nutrients more quickly, producing energy in larger amounts.

            5
            You need Resourcefulness 5 (you have 8)

            50
            You need 50 x Inorganic Materials  (you have 345)

            5
            Unlocked with Resourcefulness 5 - you have 8

            50
            Unlocked with 50 x Inorganic Materials  - you have 345

            10
            Unlocked with 10 x Inorganic Materials  - you have 335

Now you have some energy reserves. This will allow you to continue exploring your environment and replicate.

You've lost 10 x Inorganic Materials (new total 335).

You've gained 1 x Energy Reserves (new total 11).
