or: crystalise parts of the pesudopods so the protein dosent spread wile we work on a antibody, put the pesudopod cells into pesudo-hybernation and lock them in place holding the worm wile this is happening.

the worm isent strong enought to attack us again so long as we remain locked in place it seems, and our enzymes should be weakening and destroying it as we speak. right now we need to purge the unclean proteins/poison and perhaps decypher their structure so we can use them outselves in future.

Turn 27

     You draw away unneeded silica from the underside of your armor and begin to crystallize the pseudopods, hopefully holding them (and the worm) long enough to develop some sort of antibody and delay the toxin. You use up large amounts of Energy in this process, directly fueling the data-processor and factory cells. After using up large amounts of Glucose, you eventually create an antibody that successfully bonds with the toxin. Success! The cells are decrystallized and injected with antibodies. Not much of an immune system, but it'll work for now. After some awkwardness, the toxins are isolated and removed. Unluckily for the worm, you stopped the toxin before it could actually do anything to you, thanks to your rapid crystallization.

     Once again, the light above dims and sputters. Suddenly, the light from above ceases altogether. The water if filled with vibrations, rippling your cilia constantly. Finally, it lowers to a dull roar of energy. The heck was that? It seemed to disturb the inhabitants of the ice field as well, many things- probably protists from the trail in the water -scurry from hiding spot to hiding spot. A larger thrum through the water goes past you from the direction of the seed-thing. The worm is now quite limp, your toxin having almost completed its work.

time to devour and absorb the worm.

keep its DNA so we can take the usefull bits and scrap the rest for raw material, saving on energy.

Guess we should try to drag that worm corpse to cover with our pseudopods and eat it slowly while we rejuvenate, I've got a funny feeling that the absence of light is due to a very large creature in the area causing a shadow, might as well stay comfy and hidden

Wow, that's actually really friggin' awesome looking.
That is brilliant.
That is hilarious, Ashton. I love it.
OMG yes!!!  Thank you!!!

unless you want to hybridise with the thing and take over its body parts. we know its pesudopods/legs are stronger than ours, depends on how complex it is.

It isn't dead. Just paralyzed/burned from the toxins. Also,

Do you guys still want to be a parasity thing? I can't tell whether you're going to start upgrading in a brain-controlly method or some sort of predatory super jelly.

The collective does not plan, the collective only increments complexity...

It is time for _.A.S.E.R.s, develop an organ that generates an uncontrolled burst of radiation. We can activate it when we are scared and it may confuse things. The next step will be to generate receptors and use it as a pulse-based detection system, similar to S.O.N.A.R. which can be refined into a more precise beam later...

Start eating the worm, start at its head, once the bitey parts are gone it doesn't much matter to us if it is alive...

Cherrypick the DNA sequences that would improve us, integrate them with our current DNA profile, reject any DNA sequences that are invalidated by the newer sequences and sequences that were not integrated, and then break down all reject DNA sequences.

Worm DNA String Dump
- Tough Membrane
- Light Muscles
- Stubby Pseudopods
- Simple Digestive System
- Simple Circulatory System
- Rudimentary Vision
- Simple Poison Glands
- Simple Spines (Toxin Injecting)
- Long Body
- Segmented Body
- Cartilaginous Skeleton

(( + Anything else you think a simple/medium worm would have. In-between a nematode and fictionally advanced oligochaete or simple polychaete. Those would be the squiggly worms and the bitey hardish-shelled worms. :P))

Worm DNA String Dump
- Tough Membrane (Tougher is better!)
- Light Muscles (Could improve flexibility when combined with skeletal system)
- Stubby Pseudopods (If it is better than our current system only)
- Simple Digestive System (If it is better than our current system only)
- Simple Circulatory System (Would help transfer of material from cell to cell)
- Rudimentary Vision (If it is better than our current system only)
- Simple Poison Glands (Why not have an alternative to enzymes?)
- Simple Spines (Toxin Injecting) (See above.)
- Long Body
- Segmented Body (Could improve cell organization.)
- Cartilaginous Skeleton (This could improve stability.)

Assimilate the bolded DNA.
Italiced DNA is to be considered.
