Choice 2

If time has no effect then choice 3 would make sense, but then why would he have included it rather than more options. Therefore I can only assume things will change while we search for alternative hosts and we might miss something we can take advantage of. I could be completely wrong though :)

Choice 1

Level 3 brain and natural sonar yes please.

Also, since we would be carnivorous we should be able to get some more DNA fairly quickly.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

You'll move into another part of the planet with another ecosystem and another choices


HINT - Brain is much more important than in Ghazkull's game.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I still vote Choice Two.

It is much easier to work from small to big, than it is from big to small. We might miss out on some juicy capabilities.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Plus it's safer to be 2. I'm changing to 2 since we loose these current choices if we take 3. Safe, easy DNA, easy biomass, infecting host, parasite minions to take over other creatures? Yes please!

As a parasite we can infiltrate other organisms just by being 'eaten'.
