The moon is still very close to the Earth, and the tides on the surface swell and ebb violently. There may be ways to take advantage of this though.

Opportunities

Opportunities

Use the tides to find nutrients

A low-risk challenge

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

Use the tides to find shelter

A modest challenge

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

Note: This will gain you extra resourcefulness.


Swept into a rich area

Use the tides to find nutrients

A low-risk challenge

The tides carried you to a place rich with nutrients, allowing you to take in a variety of materials that will be helpful later.

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.

Morphology

While your insides are quite predictable as a bacteria, there is great diversity in what your external morphology looks like.

What shape do you have?

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.

            Unlocked when Morphology is:

Cocci

Bacilli

Spirochaete

Vibrio

Not Right Now

You would rather save your energy and replicate at a later time.


There's more than one of you

Replication can be a blessing and a curse. It means your species has a better chance of survival, but it also increased competition for limited resources.

You now have 1 x Population.

You've lost 1 x Energy Reserves (new total 3).

Dive down deeper

A modest challenge

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

            1
            You need Adaptability 1 (you have 2)

Stay right where you are

A high-risk 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 2)

It's calmer here

Dive down deeper

A modest challenge

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