Is it just me, or does this RTD remind anyone else of Spore?
The mutation point mechanic, maybe, but gameplay is a lot different. I think.
-----
The wave-reader sees a thin and very wounded serpent (Magnus) on the floor, and attempts to break through the barrier to attack this new prey.
Behe is going to try and expand his knowledge...Or whatever crude form of knowledge something like him has. Intelligence is power, after all.
Magnus will call upon it's energy reserves to heal some of its injurys; in the meantime, look for something to eat.
flee from the large shadows, hide under a shelf or something.
Ubik: Break out of my prison.

Wave-Reader rams the side of his barrier, which holds up against his painful assaults. (-3 HP).
Behe contemplates, and forms a cocoon. He will emerge smarter in two turns.
Magnus searches for food. It finds a scent of an edible animal and follows it towards a gaping, rectangular hole in the wall.
GS slithers for a table, hiding from the light and the large shapes, no longer shadows.
Ubik squirms forward and smashes through the barrier! It falls onto the ground, with the acute pain of ripping out the tubes forming an accompaniment for the dull sensation of striking the cold, hard, and increasingly damp ground (-3 HP)
H.P. rests.
The shapes or shadows look about uncertainly at the now three creatures slithering around. Three of them grab for the three creatures. One, going for Magnus, trips and falls, blocking the serpent's path momentarily. The second, trying to sieze GS, can't grab it before it slithers under the table. The last grabs Ubik by the dorsal portion of anatomy.
