Action: Move to epipelagic vents
Also quick side question wouldn’t virium inside archaean still spew out the random plasmids (as in anything not being the host would risk the plasmid entering?)
I will spread farther through the oceans,
please clarify your question
So virium reproduce by transferring its plasmids to protocells and micelles as well as by performing mitosis would that mean anything that tries to infect a archaean would get infeceted by the virium?
Is late joining allowed?
what do you mean by archean? do you mean my species?
EDIT: nevermind, now that i’ve had coffee i am able to properly understand your question, the answer is anything that tries to parasitize any member of my species will get infected as, though i did forget to clarify that, the three plasmids that went missing from the endosymbiont are put in a bit of the cytoskeleton and only replicated when the cell gets over a certain size, and since i forgot to i will fix that, so yes, anything that tris to infect a member of my species or parasitize it will get infected and, if not already inside the cell, engulfed to reduce the amount of resources needed to reproduce
edit2: i have fixed the lack of clarification on where the plasmids went
yes, just choose who to split off of and what action you want to perform
action: engulf some primium flagellus for that delicious energy production and keep the virium RNA from entering them
Im sadly lacking time and its kinda hard so i think il step out
k, your species shall be made an AI species incase you ever want to re-join.

the round starting after this is posted is a mutation round round
@Cha @Nonametoseehere
Mutation Uno: photosynthetic plasmid gene using S as a replacement for O
Mutation dos: Make flagella less energy intensive
Wasn’t last round an action round?
Mutations:
DNA
Permanent binding of cells, in the shape of a long strand.
Pheromones as neurotransmitters (again).
So that’s what I forgot about.
I’ll fix it once I get back to my computer
@cha this round is actually a mutation round so I’m gonna need your mutations
EDIT: i fixed it
–
-
binding protiens
-
sandbox plasmid(basically an intentionally unstable plasmid that can be used to make mutations and is simply discarded if it produces a detrimental mutation)
-
if that last one succeeds, drastically larger size
Fixed it you should be in the green

round after this post is an action round
if anyone wants to join just reply with the species you want to split from and what you’ll do with your action or MP
Attempt: increase in fecundity
an action has to be something your cell can just do, unless your membrane is at least partially stabilized your cell can’t just get bigger as an action and even if you do have everything necessary that temporarily removes 1 fecundity
ACTION: engulf some liposomes and move up
My new name will be Magna industria solaris, and I will reduce the population of hostile cells through means of attack.

description: an abundant species of sulfur respirating and iron chlorinating prokaryote that can reproduce by transferring its plasmids to protocells and micelles as well as by performing mitosis meaning that it is able to come back from extinction as long as a single plasmid remains but the plasmids do not replicate in the absence of usable energy, it photosynthesizes and, like another fairly abundant species, uses pheremones to signal the presence of light but it also uses them to signal the presence of danger

description: a telomere bearing ameboid prokaryote that uses proteins that make energy from H2S and RNA proteins that make energy from anything with the same valence shell as oxygen to create a contained sulfur cycle which it uses to power itself with the only input needed when not growing being glucose, it has incorperated a primium virium which has since been simplified into itself as a lipid factory, giving it the most necessary prerequisite to moving out of the vents where lipids are most abundant

round after this post is a mutation round
if anyone wants to join just reply with the species you want to split from and what you’ll do with your action or MP
the reason it skipped from 4 to 8 is because i forgot to keep changing the round number for 3.5 rounds and this would be the 4th, please remind me if i do that again
Mutation uno: Close the Cl cycle (if that one is already closed then S cycle)
Mutation dos: Cilica hair
Mutations:
Silica wall around the entire creature to protect it from oxygen and everything else.
Muscle cells, which allow for anguillaform locomotion.
Specialized brain at the front.
