I am sorry it took so long to finish this turn. I have a lot of things going in my life at the moment that delayed me from posting Turn 10 earlier.
Turn 10
Turn 10 Summary:
750 Million Years after the formation of the Phyade I star system, life continues to turn over in the niches that exist on the Treerilia-Xanrillion binary. When combined with the ever-increasing number of organisms in now radiating the Delta genera, only luck will tell if organisms escape being killed by these toxic organisms. But that is no longer the only danger. The number of Volcanoes beneath the surface of Treerilia has begun increasing more than it did before, and volcanic activity around the whole planet has began to slowly reshape its mafic Basaltic rock surface. This is due to some Mantle Plume eruptions, which are spewing superfluid ultramafic Komatiite lava. If life also survives the Meteors, life may eventually need to go through a second hell to survive (Volcanoic Extinction increased to 50% percent chance).
Cablevenian Tidepool
The Cablevenian Tidepool was the second cradle for life in Treerilia. Although its name will not be known to history, its effect on life will not be forgotten. As life increases in this biome, and in all others, so does Oxygen. Adding to the struggle for survival.
backimus primus (Species 49), formerly Phesoxo resisto, was the newly emerged species that succeeded the original Primum thrivium. Inheiriting the highest possible Oxygen resistance and a slightly different pressure tolerance, this organism currently inhabits the tolerance niche. However, there are other organisms beginning to mutate that also have differing environmental tolerances. Being a small organism, it did not take much time to gather the resources needed for cell division. Hopefully, this organism be able to bring back its former numbers.
Verticus Melanos (Mutant 33) was the precursor for the current Melakoids species. Like many organisms, the slow increasing amount of Oxygen in the atmosphere is starting to affect its movment and speed of bioprocesses. Another issue was overcrowding. Even though Verticus Melanos did not encounter other organisms besides its own, there were a plethora to go through in the Cablevenian Tidepool. Multiple times, the organism became blocked, or even surrounded, by members of the same mutant. And this light-eater, like those that survived the previous rounds, do not die at night. Night was even worse, as microbes cannot see.
Melana plasmin (Subspecies 109) had gained an additional Cytoplasm, like many organisms before it. This increased its Glucose consumption, but also increased the ATP balance, making it potentially more viable. Like many subspecies, the organism’s fate will help determine the future of its lineage. As Melana plasmin settled next to a large Phosphate chunk, it began to become larger as a result of its organelles reproducing. While it survived, and indeed, thrived. There is one glaring issue. Many organisms, including within the remaining lineages of Coccidownsu genera, have Melanokoids. But there can only be one organism for the Melakoids niche in every biome.
Melana Nasus (Subspecies 111) was the first member of the verticus species to have both Melakoids and a Chemoreceptor. This Chemoreceptor added much more osmoregulation cost, and made the organism slower. While this was not an issue, if it had encountered toxic organisms, it would have affected it survival. When moving from resource cloud to resource cloud, the lower ATP balance translated into being unable to sprint, if its ancestor weren’t able to before. One good thing is that in the future, this Chemoreceptor could change to detect something other than Glucose.
Phyting phyting (Mutant 30) still survived after several millions of years. Being the source of the new Photosynthetic lineages, its time was limited. Soon, new species will emerge, and they may have better Photosynthesis than this ancient organism. The Oxygen Phyting phyting and its lineages have produced will transform the planet. But without Oxygen tolerances, it may be left behind in this new race of niches. Already during its relentless search for Ammonia and Phosphate, its osmoregulation cost, bioprocess speed, and health have started to become lowered.
Preceptless balancea (Subspecies 108) had gained an extra Cytoplasm. This increased its ATP balance, but also its Glucose consumption. So named because the ATP is perfectly balanced between its organelles, it had no trouble getting the Glucose it needed to survive. Ammonia, on the other hand, was like finding an Oasis in the desert. And Preceptless balancea was the lone wonderer in this oceanic desert.
Heregamblerobacterkoinos neonara (Species 40) was the first organism to have evolved and survived with a Mucocyst. And this trend continues. After being accosted by a group of Eto paz (Ecotype 56), Heregamblerobacterkoinos neonara simply cysted itself for protection. When the toxic group went away, it attempted to engulf some Prometa atmos (Species 33), despite not being large enough to do so. Melana Nasus (Subspecies 111) also was chasing this group of smaller organism, leading to a lot of microbial crashes and blockades between the two larger organisms. Then Phyting phyting (Mutant 30) interceded, simply passing by, but causing evermore confusion in the contest of trying to identify what is chasing what.
Neonara rustic (Mutant 46) was one of the three organisms to evolve Rusticyanin. Like all Iron-eaters, the issue was that it needed a lot of Iron to survive, which can be a weakeness if such an organism finds itself in an area without Iron. Such as what happened initially with Neonara rustic, where its sibling cell died. After taking some of that initial damage, the organism was careful to be near Iron clouds at all times. An interesting problem was that, even though Neonara rustic relies on Iron for a majority for its ATP production, the lack of Glucose makes it much slower. It has just enough ATP to survive with Iron alone, but needs Glucose for more ATP production and better movement. And when it ran into a group of itself in a dead zone of resources, it almost seemed like hope was lost, until Neonara rustic barely managed to get more Iron at the last second.
Neonara meli (Mutant 49) had evolved a Melanokoids, giving a better ATP balance during the day and night. The most troubling thing not be finding the Ammonia and Phosphate. Instead, it would be dealing with all the toxic organisms. On the first night, a group of Phesoxo resisto (Species 49) was being chased by Cytillo decyto (Subspecies 95,97). Neonara meli, having slower speed, could not catch the oxygen reistant organism. Instead, it engulfed a Cytillo decyto. However, this caused the nearby Ancestrillo fluoresce (Subspecies 94) to surround the mucous organism and fire toxins at it. If this was any other organism, it would be have been a death sentence. But Neonara meli had the perfect toxin counter. By timing its cysting, it was able to not only survive this counter, but all other encounters with other toxic organisms.
Prometa atmos (Species 33) was the first organism to successively have a wide pressure range. While it did not help in the Cablevenian Tidepool, this trait did help its descendents in other biomes. However, Prometa atmos would have its work cut out for it to live, as it had to deal with many other organisms, such as Phyting phyting (Mutant 30). The more disconcerting bunch were Deltarillo cyto (Ecotype 61), Deltabarillius sigh (Ecotype 75.5), and other Delta species lineages. Neonara rustic (Mutant 46) was attempting to fend of Etali duphoto (Ecotype 74) in the distance, as Prometa atmos skirted by the microbial skirmish. But then, a group of Deltabarillius sigh (Ecotype 75.5) surrounded the organism, and the triangular organism was in the firing line. The second life was very much like the first, and ended up the same way. Prometa atmos went extinct by trying to dodge many Cytotoxins.
Deltabarillius sigh (Ecotype 75.5) was the first member of the Delta genera to have two Thylakoids. One might expect this would make the organism have an even better chance of survival, since it had a higher rate of Photosynthesis. The issue is that the organelle also increased the amount of toxin in needed to produce after firing. After a brief encounter with Preceptless balancea (Subspecies 108), Deltabarillius sigh kept on its search for Ammonia. When a few backimus primus (Species 49) came nearby, the toxic organism attempted to chase them and fired its Cytotoxins at it. Under the light of waxin gibbous Xanrillon, the toxic organism encountered a double-wammy – damage from regenerating toxin and a lack of glucose at night. Deltabarillius sigh became extinct due to damage from a lack of ATP and toxins.
Deltarillo cyto (Ecotype 61) was the originator of two sublineages in the Delta species. But like all other toxic organisms, competition in the toxic niche was becoming ever fiercer. Eventually, a niche turnover will occur in the Delta genera. But that will happen in due time. Now, Deltarillo cyto had to make sure that it did not die. Having the extra Cytoplams meant it had better ATP, but also that the organism was slower and needed more resources to survive. While on its quest for Ammonia, Deltarillo cyto nearly ran into a poison cloud hazard. It also nearly died because of the increased Toxisom recharging time as the organelles reproduced.
Cytillo decyto (Subspecies 95,97) had lost the extra cytoplasm gained by Deltarillo cyto (Ecotype 61). This meant it had less ATP, but it would not be an issue for the organism. Like Garlabarillius Delta (Mutant 41.5), Cytillo decyto had to be careful, as all toxic oragnisms take damage when their Toxisome is recharging. Since the organism was located in the orginal biome after the Great Ring Rain over 200 million years ago, it had the proper pressure and temperature tolerances to survive. No running into the unfixable lag damage bug over in the Cablevenian Tidepool, which was important as Cytillo decyto moved from one expanse to another, from day onto night.
Ancestrillo fluoresce (Subspecies 94) was the first organism to evolve Bioluminescent Proteins. This gave the organism a higher Oxygen tolerance than a majority of the inhabitants of Treerilia. However, Ancestrillo fluoresce was not alone in its endeavor for sustainence. Fellow member of the Delta genera Cytillo decyto (Subspecies 95,97) was a in group next to a cloud of Glucose. A little while later, Prometa atmos (Species 33) was being chased by Neonara rustic (Mutant 46). Ancestrillo fluoresce was just fine searching for Ammonia.
Etali duphoto (Ecotype 74) was another light-eater of the Delta genera that had lost its Toxisome. And this was an issue, as a lot of things wanted to eat it the Cablevenian Tidepool. First, Etali duphoto came across Melana Nasus (Subspecies 111), which immediately attempted to engulf the non-toxic organism. While it got away, a group of backimus primus (Species 49) was being chased by Preceptless balancea (Subspecies 108). Etali duphoto then attempted to gather resources from the nearby mixed clouds when it encountered group of Eto paz (Ecotype 56). Feeling safe, the organism continued its combing of the Tidepool and went next to an area with a lot of Large Iron Chunks. A big mistake, as some Prometa atmos (Species 33) were hidden in the shadows of the Large Iron Chunks. Etali duphoto went extinct by also killing the triangular organism that engulfed it.
Eto paz (Ecotype 56) was more peacefull than the rest of the members of the Delta species. It was even more serene for the toxic organism, as it encountered no other organisms. With no unfixable damage bug to disturb it, Eto paz journeyed to resources in silence. Not really, due to the in-game soundtracks. But those soundtracks added to the ambience of serenity. Ironic for an organism containing a chemical weapon.
Then, there was Petzo Iota (Subspecies 86). Evolving Melanokoids meant that it, too, was a hearld of light. Getting ATP, directly or indirectly, from light. When swimming amongst the swarms of itself, there were many Large Phosphate Chunks next to each other. A Phosphate gold mine for Petzo Iota. It seems the organism was anything but a modicum.
Banana Biome
Next, in the Banana Biome, the organisms continue to struggle to survive. Add in the mysteries of this Biome, and anything could happen. Even Banana-shaped organisms, which do occur every so often. Will all of the Banana Biome’s effect be visible in the record of time?
Velanos demelano (Ecotype 78) lost the trait of the remaining verticus species lineage, its Melanokoids. Being another Photosynthesizer, it simply coasted along the Banana-shaped chunks. If Velanos demelano could see, it may have seen the very strange sight of the Banana-shape of Phyade I star and the Banana-shape of the moon, Xanrillon. After running into a dead zone of resources, currents brought some resources to Velanos demelano. Quite nice for a change to not move for resources.
Velanos perspec (Ecotype 80) has inversed the reproduction order of its Cytoplasm and Thylakoids, giving it slightly better Photosynthesis. Not that the Melakoids organism would ever run out of Glucose, mind you. Having nothing better to do, the organism decided to just rest in the middle of a resource dead zone. Finding resources is tiring work for a micro-organism, and Velanos perspec had no company. After a while, the organism decide to just continue on chugging, finding some large Phosphate chunks on the way.
Velanos metallos (Ecotype 81) was one of the two organisms to evolve Rusticyanin. However, it would have to compete with the other organism that eats iron, Ancestrillo ferrin (Subspecies 92). Suprisingly, the toxic oraganism ignored Velanos metallos, choosing instead to go after the smaller Velanos demelano (Ecotype 78). However, that did not last for too long. While attempting to outrun the toxic iron eater, it tried to eat Preceptless triforce (Subspecies 107). Despite encountered a dead zone of Iron and ran out of iron, the Photosynthesis Velanos metallos had was sufficient to keep it alive. But all good things must come to an end, and not always in the good ways. Velanos metallos went exinct to due damage from Cytotoxins.
Garlabarillius Delta (Mutant 41.5) was the progenitor of the rest of the Delta species lineages. While it persisted, the organism has started to decline because of better descendants outcompeting their ancestor. Still, the journey for cell divison was relatively peaceful. Except for the AI sibling cell running into a posion cloud hazard, and it nearly pushing the other members of the same group of cells along with into the same poison cloud. Poor cell was most likely bored, as it could not longer go in random circles for fun, as that glitch was fixed.
Deltabarillius crushae (Ecotype 76) had evolved extremely high pressure tolerance, but since the pressure range was small, the organism was more suited to the bottom of the ocean than the surface. Fortunately, this did not lead to significant difference in Osmoregulation cost and bioprocess speed. The most glaring issue was that Deltabarillius crushae’s health was halved. The deep pressure toxic organism attempted to eat Velanos demelano (Ecotype 78), but it was too slow to catch of them. Preceptless triforce (Subspecies 107) had a better time catching the demelaninated organism. So Deltabarillius crushae resorted to the next best thing – firing toxins at it. Although, this was not very effect against the fast organism, being more detrimental for toxic organism and its sibling cells. Deltabarillius crushae went extinct to due to excessive firing of Cytotoxin and dying from toxisome recharging.
Cytillo burno (Subspecies 98) was another species to evolve Thermosynthase. Unlike most others who did, this one can still exist without proper temperature gradients due to Thermosynthase comprising a smaller percentage of ATP. While collecting Ammonia from a mixed resource cloud, Cytillo burno came across a group of itself. Being slower to due the larger size, it was definitely an inconvience, which turned into a boon. A large group of Velanos demelano (Ecotype 78) approached from the Southwest, and a feeding frenzy began as the Velanos demelano tried to escape. While some of the smaller organisms did escape engulfment, not all of them did.
Cytillo chemo (Subspecies 99) was the first organism is over 200 million years to evolve Chemosynthesising Proteins. While the Banana Biome did not have Hydrogen Sulfide, the Chemosynthesizing Proteins gave it extra Cytosolic ATP. This meant Cytillo chemo did not encounter the unfixable lag damage bug during its preregrination for resources. It did, however, encounter other members of the Delta genera, like Garlabarillius Delta (Mutant 41.5) and Nonproeto isomer (Subspecies 90). When stopping next to the Banana-shaped Large Iron Chunk, a Preceptless triforce (Subspecies 107) bumped into the cresecent shaped object. Immediately, Cytillo chemo went to corner the triangular organism, but it escaped. Only to be eaten by another member of the same subspecies.
Ancestrillo ferrin (Subspecies 92) was the latest organism to have evolved Iron. Fortunately, there was Iron nearby for the organism to survive for the short term. Besides being surrounded by members of the Delta species, Ancestrillo ferrin also had to compete with Velanos metallos (Ecotype 81) for Iron consumption. While heading in a northeast direction, the iron eater followed the trail of Large Iron chunks. There was a group of Velanos demelano (Ecotype 78) that briefly came in another direction, as they were chased by Garlabarillius Delta (Mutant 41.5). Ancestrillo ferrin attempted to join the fray, but could not catch any, missing the smaller organisms by a fraction of a second. After settling next to a Large Phosphate Chunk that dissipated, Ancestrillo ferrin found an area with many Large Iron Chunks. Suddenly, a large group of Velanos demelano came, allowing the Iron-light eater to gain Ammona through predation. Although it was frustrating toward the end to catch things due to the larger organism size from reproducing organelles, Ancestrillo ferrin became the second organism with Rusticyanin to survive and reproduce.
Ancestrillo rho (Subspecies 93) had changed the position of its Toxisome, giving it slightly different speed in turning and forward movement. This would not be an issue, since the organism was still able to go amongst the Banana-shaped resource chunks. One issue, as always in the Banana Biome, was the unfixable lag damage bug. Surprisingly, a group of itself even formed a Banana-shape. It seems everything in the Banana Biome goes Bananas eventually.
Garlabius Eta (Mutant 12) was the progenitor of many lineages. Having the highest possible Opportunistic behavior meant it would attack any other organism within range. This ended up being detrimental, as its sibling cell died. The organism would end up doing the same thing attempting to attack Velanos metallos (Ecotype 81). Fortunately, Garlabius Eta had many lives, so it was not long before the toxic organism was once again on the hunt for Ammonia and Phopshate. But same event occurred, with another member of this type of mutant dying. And again. At least before it died the last time, it took out some Velanos metallos. Garlabius Eta went extinct due to toxin recharging and increasing pressure from similar sized organisms.
Nonproeto detoxo (Subspecies 89) had lost the defining trait of the Delta genera – it Toxisome. Now, combined with its lack of Proteorhodospin, made this organism effectively a Photosynthesizer. Nonproeto detoxo was only the one hex in size, which made it have higher turning and forward speed. This would have been dangerous if it was not the only organism in its part of the Banana Biome. But since Nonproeto detoxo was alone, other than interactin with groups of itself, it had free reign to go where ever it seemed to go. Moving from one Phosphate cloud to another.
Nonproeto isomer (Subspecies 90) had changed the location of its Toxisome. This had minor effects on the forward speed and rotational speed. Fortunately, Nonproeto isomer was mostly among its cousins in the Delta species. Like Ancestrillo rho (Subspecies 93). Unfortunately, it ran into the one of the two organisms that was capable of eating it, Preceptless triforce (Subspecies 107). While both were slower in the Banana Biome because of improper pressure tolerances, Preceptless triforce had slightly better ATP balance. Managing to hit the Photosynthetic organism, Nonproeto isomer tried moving away, only to be eaten by Velanos metallos (Ecotype 81). Nonproeto isomer became extinct by being engulfed by Iron-eating organism.
Cablevenian Estuary
In the Cablvenian Estuary, it was a very busy place. Lots of predator and potential prey organisms were scurring around. Like in the Banana Biome, almost all organisms that lived here had to deal with the unfixable lag damage bug. At least there was slightly less oxygen than in the two previous biomes.
Velanos dethyla (Ecotype 79) had lost its Thylakoids, being soley dependent on its Melankoids for survival. Being this small means everything will try to eat it. And Velanos dethyla will face the greatest challenge of survival, having to also deal with toxic organisms like Etali remerjo (Ecotype 75), and potentially being stabbed to death by Heregamblerobacter pilida (Mutant 44). It was like a Russian roulette of death. Fortunately, a group of Heregamblerobacter pilida was busy trying to deal with a group of Etali spici (Ecotype 73). Maybe there was a chance of survival, as Velanos dethyla slowly gathered Ammonia and Phosphate. But out of nowhere, a group of Preceptless orthoarc (Subspecies 106) came and swamped the area. Velanos dethyla has gone extinct due to being engulfed by a larger organism.
Preceptless Mélas (Subspecies 105) was unique in the phyto species in that it has evolved a Melanokoid. This meant that it had a Melanoids, Thylakoids, and Proteorhoposin, becoming what seems to be the ultimate light-eater. The Melakoids gave it extra ATP generation, but also made Preceptless Mélas slightly slower. If it had interacted with smaller organisms, it would have had a difficult time to catch things. Already trying to find enough Ammonia was a troublesome matter for a microbe.
Preceptless orthoarc (Subspecies 106) had change the rotation orientation of one of its thylakoids, making it appear that is light-based organelles are in an arc. Beyond this, nothing substantial occurred in its journey for resources. Other than accidentally running into a poison cloud hazarad. Or into a group of itself that was confused as to which way they should go. Preceptless orthoarc did have trouble moving around, due to inheiriting the slower turning speed and forward speed from its ancestor, which also had a strange shape.
Neonara goey (Mutant 48) had evolved an extra Cytoplasm, giving it a better ATP balance at night when Proteorhodopsin shutdown. It had to deal with a very pokey organism, Heregamblerobacter pilida (Mutant 44), but it was nothing the organism could not handle. It was like a sword meeting a shield, with the shield winning out. Slowly, but surely, Neonara goey gathered the resources it needed for division during the day. And at night, turning into a cyst. Neonara goey did run into the unfixable lag damage bug, but it was a minor inconvienence for the cyst-making organism. The more peeving issue was finding dead zones of resoures and running into large groups of itself that slowed the organism down.
Promatmos neoammonid (Mutant 43) was the latest organism to evolve Nitrogenase. Being a part of the Promatmos genera meant it did not have to deal with improper pressure tolerances. However, Promatmos neoammonid had an even rougher time moving because of the constant ATP drain from the Nitrogenase. It was large enough that Preceptless Mélas (Subspecies 105), and its cousin Neonara goey (Mutant 48) would not attempt to eat it. But then, in its turtle speed travels, Promatmos neoammonid encountered Etali spici (Ecotype 73). It was lucky that the Cytotoxic organism did not fire at it. But its luck ran out with Deltabarillius mushi (Ecotype 74.5). Promatmos neoammonid has gone extinct by being pelted with Cytotoxins.
Heregamblerobacter pilida (Mutant 44) was the first organism to successively evolve an Injectisome. However, it could not move very much without taking damage. Heregamblerobacter pilida attempted to pray upon Velanos dethyla (Ecotype 79), but its inability to move made it unable to do a lot of damage to the Melanokoid organism. After encountering Preceptless orthoarc (Subspecies 106) and Neonara goey (Mutant 48), the spikey organism continued to gather resources. When Heregamblerobacter pilida encountered a dead zone of resources, this was when it met its nemesis. A group of Etali spici (Ecotype 73) came close by, and the spiky boi attempted to spike them to death. Heregamblerobacter pilida went extinct by attempting to deflect multiple Cytotoxins fired at it.
Deltabarillius mushi (Ecotype 74.5) had a more fluid membrane, making it slightly faster at the cost of less health. It would needs this higher speed, since larger organisms like Preceptless Mélas (Subspecies 105) attempted to eat it. If only the unfixable lag damage bug did not occasionally stop it from moving. Deltabarillius mushi also came across Velanos dethyla (Ecotype 79) being chased by Preceptless orthoarc (Subspecies 106). While searching for resources, it came across a group of another predator organism, Heregamblerobacter pilida (Mutant 44). Despite firing toxins at it, the toxin was deflected, perhaps unintentially, by the spiky organism. Deltabarillius mushi became extinct by being spiked to death from spikey organism.
Etali spici (Ecotype 73) was the first organism to successively change its temperature tolerance range. Unfortunatly, this range became too narrow. Far too narrow to help Etali spici in the Banana Biome. This meant the toxic organism had to deal with double tolerance penalties, making it even more difficult to survive. If there were other organisms, it would have been detrimental to Etali spici‘s survival, increasing its chances of death. Somehow, it did survive amongst the clouds of Ammonia and Phosphate. Perhaps the Banana Biome favored it.
Etali remerjo (Ecotype 75) had lost its Thylakoid. This meant it was small enough to be eatern by Promatmos neoammonid (Mutant 43). Of course, if the larger organism could catch it. Which did happen, after a protracted chase. Etali remerjo attempted to fire its Cytotoxin at the larger Promatmos neoammonid, but missed a point blank shot (facepalm). Once that occurred, it all over for the tiny toxic light-eater. Etali remerjo has gone extinct due to predation pressure from a Nitrogen-fixing organism.
