Turn One - The Beginning

The beginning. The cosmos itself has combined and created a world finally compatible for something rare for the infinite universe; life. This lifeless rock had an atmosphere, magnetism, even a moon from the remaining energy of the cosmos, slowly twirling around it. The planet slowly aged, the atmosphere thickening, air and oxygen growing, molecules, atoms.. and cells. Oh how they flourished, species being created constantly.. This includes the new species of before, five small and almost insignificant species swimming in the primordial cell pool.. What do you do?

Golus: Evolve our membranes to contain even higher densities of minerals, improving our defense but further slowing us.

Bacillus: Go to the ground and start to try and break down bits of sediment, while evolving some enzymes for the purpose of doing so, with the goal being to replicate rapidly.

Also please forgive my horrible and atrocious crimes to binomial nomenclature.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Try to use actual bacteria names, or at least something resembling them. Look at how we named ours for examples.

remove the shape as until a solid membrane is made it is basically formless, not to mention unrealistic to expect it to take the shape of a scythe.

The ability is rather unbalanced because "cutting" the cell rips the membrane open and destroys the cell. You would basically be a superpredator in the early game, and that is hardly balanced.

Some suggestions: think up a good bacteria name using our examples and Wikipedia.
Remove the shape, which is unnecessary at this time.
Change your ability to something utilitarian or defencive , such as being naturally poisonous. Those tend to be a bit more balanced while still proving useful.
