Round 3 - 18:00, April 25th, 2000
Round Prologue
While the Sun starts setting below the horizon, in Reserva Natural Sierra Quirragua events related with a mutated ant colony don’t stop and a few tourists are planning to go there on dawn of the next day (will arrive at: [ROUND 5], at which point you’ll be able to do things directly about them).
The Organism
TO’s toxins have became more potent at the evening of this day, and the mandibles have gotten yet another upgradement, now being able to inject digestive fluids into whatever TO bites (+1 S).
Our beloved ant’s cells have increased their radiation resistance even more than before (+1 MH). It’s egg cells now can steal stuff from other eukariotic cells and new ants are born with evolving tissue embedded into them (+1 ME). TO has reactivated ant genes responsible for developing a wing, and modified it to be more efficient and effective (+2 ME). It’s Antennae have became far better at sensing vibrations (+1 MR, @MisterMustachio minor mutation related to Antennae pending) and some small tentacles have emerged from the sides of it’s body (+0.5 S). It’s behaviour has also seen notable changes - TO will be very peaceful when dealing with it’s children, but if it senses an enemy, it becomes extremely aggresive and unpredictable (+1 S)
TO has been testing it’s weaponry by killing (and eating) flies near the nest (+0.5 R), it has also brought a large leaf into the nest, eating some more insects from it (+1 R). Good news have been brought to TO from the frontlines - the rival bullet ant sent has been defeated by army of mutated ants, and lots of nutrients are being transported home (+1.25 R)!
After the victory, TO sensed a relatively large animal - a Marbelgium! It has gathered many child ants and went on to kill the mammal. TO started to fly towards the unsuspecting vertebrate and then, it bit it on it’s neck from behind as the marbelgium sensed something flying towards it. The cat started to thrash around in pain and electrocutions, trying to get this never-seen-before-by-itself insect off of itself, whilist TO has already injected it with critical amounts of venom and digestive fluid. Marbelgium started to get the upper edge for a short while by nearly breaking TO’s grip on itself, but just then the mutated children started to flow from all directions towards it. Being unable to tolerate the amount of pain and venom, Mabelgium has passed away and quickly died afterwards. For the antlings, a large amount of fresh flesh has just been acquired, allowing them to reproduce and expand even more in their local area, asserting a large domination over it (+1.25 R)! The newly acquired resources allowed TO to lay dozens of new mutated eggs (+1 S). Afterwards, TO took more chunks out of marbelgium’s corpse (+0.5 R), and proceeded to flood the nest with more oleic acid, trapping the weaker ants under a dense fluid, after whose fall TO cannibalized those children of it’s own (+1 R).
(+3.5 S, +1 MH, +3 ME, +1 MR, +5.5 R)

Miscellaneous
The “red dot” now also includes the area occupied by ant children of TO. If TO leaves this area, it will show up in a different color.
Some additional rules and stuff:
-If size of the organism increases, so will the organism statistics, aswell as their effects (so if you double your size, the organism has double in height statistics, and it consumes 2 energy/round passively).
-Actions such as converting resources into energy, or turning resources into health, don’t cost energy. However, if you don’t have resources nor energy, you can draw your health bar (meaning that it’ll have a lower cap) in order to regenerate energy just like resources.
-You can regenerate more than just 2 energy in one resource/health-to-energy action. However, the more energy you want to regenerate, the increasingly assymetrical will be the requirement (2 energy require 1 resource, 4 require 3, 6 require 9, 8 require 27 and so on). If you increase your size, this will however be shifted (if it doubles, 4 energy will then require 2 units, 8 require 6, etc.)
Since they haven’t responded for a month now, I no longer consider MedicGaming as a player of this FG.
