The facility is deep underground, somewhere in Australia. Not that the location matters to you; you just want to spread your spores around. There are sanitizing mechanisms all around the facility, but due to your tissue taking over the brain, you can't pinpoint when those are activated, beyond that when they detect spores and unwanted chemicals, all rooms would be fumigated and sealed. This would kill fungi like you, and seal every single other chemical inside for an unspecified number of years.
You were the leading reason as to why the facility was made; having been engineered to aid in Human body part transplants and transplant rejection syndromes.
The security, beyond the fumigators, are lax; we only have Security Guard-class individuals on site. Each one of them has a pepper spray, and a single 9mm pistol in the holster. They do not wear masks.
The only entrance - and exit - is through the subway tunnels, which there is an employee subway train arriving every two hours. You check the time, via the clock on the wall: the train will be here in 45 minutes.
PROCREATION is your goal, and doubtless you can find a lot of victims around - especially in the monkey pens. You visit the pens, slightly lumbering in your approach, and then you get close enough to ensure the monkeys are covered in your sneeze.
Then you do. Repeatedly. Agitated, the monkeys try to fruitlessly claw your face, but you simply walk away. Your limbs are getting stiffer - the cold, damp air is ensuring your rapid growth.
10 minutes. The subway section is crowded with around 85 people all in all. Security guards not counted (since they embark on the next train ride instead for security reasons). You sneeze a bit, hoping to infect others.
The train arrives, and you embark. It is deathly cold. Being a fungus, this simply means you will mature faster, because the train is also damp for some reason. You resolve to pretend to have diarrhoea, sneezing a bit around the cabins and then cage yourself in the toilet. It is very likely when the train arrives, you will have mutated a visible stalk.
Your Mutation Value is 50%.
You have 2 Mutation Points (MP). You can take the following:[2MP] Concealment - Slower Aging Structure (Cold)
Your fungal DNA structure adapts to the cold, reducing currently existing mutation values and slowing down the rate at which you develop in the cold. Currently, doing two significant actions will result in 25% development of mutation in the cold, 12.5% in normal temperature, 6.25% in hot temperatures.
Your stalks become visible on 62.50% Mutation.
[2MP] Infection - Resilient Spores 1
(+1)d100 die roll on infection rates. +1 to d(number of individuals in room) roll on infectee count. You require at least a roll of 70% to infect an individual. If you roll below 70%, no individuals would be counted, and therefore no infectees.
[6MP] Efficiency - Mutation Point Multiplier + 1
+1 MP per 25% Mutation on current host.
[4MP] Mental Retention - Fungal Brain Mimicry 1
Allows retention of plot-related information.
