Agrius grow bored and drift around some more, looking for something to kill and eat.

"Calm down," Ra sais, "explain it as thouroughly as possible, nice and slow, and many long, unmistakable words."

Microb Bob takes 2 hours to explain the story:

-Icu

 

Your microbes flock around a very shiny yellow object. It is about twice the size of one of your microbes.

 

-Steve

 

Your scouts get very close to the surface of the water. Suddenly, tragedy strikes! A large mass slams into them, killing 50 of them. The rest return to the pack. The others fail to mitosize. Many are curious as to what that mass was.

-Rocco

 

The 15 microbes refuse to give up on the shell and stay nearby. The search parties travel outwards and should be back after the next action.

 

-Agrius

 

Your people spot a pack of dolphin-plankton biting something near the surface of the water.

Agrius sends a team of 10 microbes to check what the dolphin plankton are doing.

We begin worshipping the light (Yes we love SHINY that much)

 

Also we begin exercising to reduce weight then undergo a mitosis

-Goa'uld

 

The scouts are offended by the way you talk about their mothers, and refuse to talk anymore. Meanwhile, you hear the water currents rushing.

 

-Microb Bob

 

The walrus-plankton cheerily accept the message of the story, and demand that you become their inferiors, because they are of the superior race.

 

-Rocco

 

The shell doesn't seem to budge. Nearby you see a piece of twig that broke off from overhead (the surface). Maybe you could try to use that to your advantage?

Steve has his microbes eat a small amount and asks the scouts to slowly recount what hit them. He then has his microbes go into mitosis.

Microb Bob says that it will only submit to Archi, who is God. It asks do the Walruses believe in Archi?

-Steve

 

Your microbes tell you that the mass was larger than the horizon and slammed into them in a single second. They don't know what happened. Your microbes are not full enough to undergo mitosis (when you fail, they lose the fat buildup).

 

-Rocco

 

The Microbes successfully hold the shell partially open with the twig. The glistening is even more intense now.

(Whoops, I missed a lot of posts back there)

 

-Agrius

 

The dolphins seem to be attacking a leviathan floating on the surface of the water. Your people are interested in exploring further.

-Icu

 

Your people feel that they should move the shiny thing to a safer location (it's only two microbes large). They exercise and gain strength, but the lost weight makes it unable for them to mitosize.

 

+0.3 Strength

 

-Microb Bob

 

The walruses say that they worship the Ross, who is god. They begin to explain his qualities, and you find that they share similar beliefs.

Agrius creates a thick poison field and waits for something to die in it, so they can eat. They also send 50 more microbes to help the dolphin plankton.

They then undergo mitosis.

Steve has his microbes eat enough for them to undergo mitosis again (he has them undergo mitosis while exercising) he then tries to start a movement based language with them (think what bees do)

A swarm of torpedo-plankton (they're a fish like thing that travels fast like a torpedo) speeds through your poison field. They feel injured, but they're too fast for you to stop.

 

+0.3 poison

 

Unfortunately, 40 of your 50 microbes are killed by the leviathan's flailing, though the other 10 gain new insights on fighting the leviathan.

We feast upon the green stuff till we feel ready to under go mitosis, then under go mitosis

Realising the similiary Microb Bob tells the Walruses of the secret truth, given to it by Archi, itself...Archi has a sibling! Indeed! Jerry, the first God split into Ross and Archi, but then Jerry died, and Ross and Archi devoured it together.

-Steve

 

Your people mitosize, giving you 400 microbes. They feel bloodthirsty, and ready for a battle.

 

-Icu

 

The people successfully mitosize. Suddenly, a strange thing happens. One of your microbes give birth to a live child! You now have the option of giving birth to live children or continuing mitosizing.

 

(How many microbes do you have now? It doubled from before.)

 

-Microb Bob

 

You convert them to your side, and they've agreed to join your group...On one condition. You must help them break the surface and get closer to their god.

 

+0.3 Zealotry

Microb Bob agrees to their terms, infact it has a great plan. The Microbs will give all their points to the Walruses so that the Walruses can evolve, on condition that the Walruses will let the Microbs live within them to explore the surface world.

(So do you basically want the walruses to be your new creature?)

Well double what we normally start with

 

So I guess 200?

 

We stay with mitosis, live birth under water can get weird, and mitosis doesnt need a partner, live birth does

 

I try to experiment, I get 2 willing volunteers to try and fuse into one much larger and stronger microorganism

No... I want to live as a parasite, living off other more developed lifeforms so that I can focus on growing more intelligent until eventually I emerge, like butterfly with a rocket launcher.

The walruses refuse. They encourage the Casthens that they are already so close to achieving the walrus-level lifestyle (2 points away).

 

-Icu

 

The two volunteers fuse into a single microorganism. You find they are stronger, but that they are as dumb as rocks.

Grrrr.

Microb Bob goes and tries to get the hoard eaten by a sardine. [joke]

 

Microb Bob goes is seach of a large fish to eat them all.

I thought we were dumb as rocks anyway?

 

that means I have 199 guys left

 

I get 38 more to fuse to make 20 strong micro organisms (fighting force)

 

Leaving me with 180
