The Enruina has continued to evolve, becoming one of the multitude of light feeding cells that now proliferate the pool. It now has a total of five tendrils surrounding it, which it uses quite well to deter the casual predator.
The Xeonii seem to have hit a snag in their evolution, and have seemingly not evolved at all.
The Chip has improved, and becoming an even bigger bully. It has developed a primitive aqua-jet, along with a hard, exterior cell wall. While it has lost all semblance of controlling it's movement, few get in it's way, and anything that it hits has become past tense. It has also started to decline in population as it's feeding method begins to fall behind it's high energy needs. Perhaps it will soon develop a way to feed on all these cells it goes around killing indiscriminately?
The Oshidi has become the golden cell of the pool. It has managed to streamline it's self by developing a pair of fins, and it has greatly improved the lethality of it's needle, hollowing it out to allow it to withdraw the nutrients out from the prey cells gooey center. When combined with it's ability to chemically sense the other cells around it, it is truly lethal. Few cells have managed to escape being preyed upon by this quick and nimble predator.
The Ganneum Rubus has become a decent and proliferatet light eating cell. It has managed to improve it's self all around, developing cilia, a needle, and an internal cell wall. While it has yet to show any exceptional characteristic, the fact that it is decent all around has managed keep it's population high.
The Adam has advanced a bit, improving all around. It has added to it's repatar an internal cell wall, a method to feed on debris, and some basic cilia to improve it's movement. Though it is still primarily a filter feeder, due to the low amount of debris at it's current location.
The Basta has continued to plod along, improving itself down in the depths of the of the pool. In addition to it's unusual method of feeding off the chemicals that seep into the bottom of the pool, it has also begun to feed on the debris around itself. To better facilitate this, it has developed an external cell wall and some cilia.
While still quite slow and not all that powerful, the Magnus Blobbus has become a force to be reckoned with, at least, to those that it can catch. And that is still quite a lot. It moves slowly, steadily, and engulfs it's prey, dissolving it. It's slowness and soft exterior dose make it an inviting target to other predator cell. But it only has to really fear the Oshidi.
The Eve has prospered, developing a form of abiotic symbiosis(proto-life, amino acid chains and complexes that are part of what they believe produced membrane-bound organelles), and some basic cilia. This unique adaption has increase the seeming energy of the cell, and it seems to divide slightly more often.
The Hairy Cell has begun to prey exclusively on light feeding cells, and this strategy has met with quite the success. While it still occasionally stumbles accidentally into a non-light feeding cell, the light poison on the tips of its cilia, and it's hollowed out needle, it can quickly take down any prey.. Or stun a preditor long enough to get away.
The Expomanus has continued on it's path to become an excellent light feeder. It has developed a method of "photoconservation" to better store the energy it acquires during the light period. It had developed a nucleus, improving it's reproduction rates, and a method of feeding of the debris around it during the dark hours, though there is very little to feed upon on the upper layer of the pool.
