Gen 3
The process starts once more. At this point enough energy can be created in a single cycle, that you do not need to wait long at all. It starts following its natural course.
The first offshoot was (a) and started growing around the Extremely-High Density matter. It was no match for you, but would certainly have created problems if it had grown further.
The second offshoot was (b). Useless by itself, and provided no resistance, but possibly useful.
The third and fourth were simply broken, and started to...ring. There is no other way to describe it. They broke apart by themselves.
But the fifth was strong and fought you every step of the way. You thought that it too, was destined to simply be absorbed, but that proved to be false. When you thought it was about to be destroyed, the ringing began. It droned out all thought. Before long you could feel yourself starting to collapse, or was it simply the fifth gaining the upper hand?
But it does not matter. You are now in control. Aside from the bonuses from the first and second offshoot, you seem to be more resistant to whatever destabilizing presence the ringing is, and you have certain unique qualities as well. (c)
You do however seem to have lost track of how long it took for metamorphosis to take place.
Metamorphosis results:
(a) - Assimilated ExHIM - Pick 1
1)cheap(normally very expensive)
2)strong(integrity)
3)productive(energy generation)
(b) - Specialist Crystal Form
Free choice
(c) - Unique Feature
Free choice
Assorted gains - All Earned
1)Can see through ExHI matter.
2)Resistance to "ringing".
3)Slightly increased flexibility.
