Continuing my trend of mindless revenge: Use the new Flagellum to find the jostler and devour them! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

[RAM]

Convert amino acids into energy.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Do we have time for mid-flight upgrades? I've been thinking: it's not every day that an organism gets to choose how it evolves. Why opt in favor of redundant organs and hybrid plant-animal specialization to show those man-creatures two googol light-years away how it's done?

I suggest we develop a sturdy cell wall outside our cell membrane, and even consider plooping up a chloroplast for auxiliary poweh!

Explore/Seek to counterjostle.

[Roboboy33]

Do we really  want to risk getting killed this early? stay and eat, try thickening our membrane and ceating a chlorophlast

[Pandarsenic]

Rit rirn't reat us ren. Rif rit rould rahve, rit rertainly rould rahve ried.

[Roboboy33]

That typo makes you sound like scooby doo...

[kaian-a-coel]

I suggest to stay there and evolve.
better flagellum (perhaps multiple ones), stronger membrane (add structural proteins between two layers of membrane), better perception, and finally a nucleus.

[NRDL]

We need to be stronger, consume more sugar, gather more energy and amino acids, use these amino acids to grow more cell parts. 

[kaian-a-coel]

and at the end, DIVIDE FOR CONQUER!

Ok so get stronger... chloroplast would be good

Convert amino acids into energy.

Amino acids, we can use however the glucose is a much better source of energy and has no other purpose than to give energy

Though I think increasing our membrane's strength would make us too rigid and plant like... I mean who wants to be a tree? So what about improving the flagellum, if we can move around better and generate our own energy we can avoid danger and not always have to seek out food.

Turn 5

    You decide to thicken up your membrane enough to give you more defense, without the constraints of a cell wall. You build some Structural Proteins out of Amino Acids (-8 Amino Acids) and embed them in the Membrane. Using the last four Amino Acids, you also upgrade your Flagellum. Alright, you're a whole lot faster now! As you prepare to set out and seek revenge, you nom on some glucose and convert some into energy for your trip. You don't have a good way of transporting any excess glucose, though...
