That... that is the opposite of what eating SHOULD do.

Depends what we're consuming. ;) Plenty of molecules we can consume for a multitude of reasons, though I'd suggest we focus on simple sugars for, ahem, energy.

Determine how many of which resources are needed to split, and if we have enough, do so. More ground covered and energy/RNA/Etc gained as well.

*aaaaaaacckkk...* meiosis do not replicate DNA before divide, and thus result in a net gene loss. Half of them to be precise. This is only useful for sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproductio <=> MITOSIS.

Right- but do we even have DNA at this stage? I... struggle to recall the name for such cells, but had the impression that we were bacterial, and therefore were not complex enough to perform mitosis... yet.

the only "living" being unable to perform mitosis are virus, and yes, some of them only have RNA.
But since we have cytoskeleton, we are a cell (procaryot i think, if we dont have nucleus), and therefore we have DNA.

Use proteins to make flagellum so we have a higher chance of running into and enveloping plant material and junk, which should have delicious sugars. Also higher chance of enveloping new organelles like mitochondria or midichlorians.

Edit: Also, learning about the first lifeforms in school, ironically. One theory says they didn't have DNA - RNA controlled their genetic thingies. So we might not have DNA.

Turn 2
Try to get a chemical sense of some description.
use two amino acids to make some perceptive proteins attached outside the membrane, so we can perceive chemicals around us.

The cell shifts some of the Amino Acids around, but they can't do a whole lot in their raw form and you have no way to process them yet.  The cell's RNA, however, has begun to link four of the Amino Acids together. A new organelle has been formed! The Basic Ribosome! This organelle manufactures the proteins necessary to construct almost everything the cell uses, provided you have the right materials. The cell uses two of the Amino Acids to make a perceptive protein. Using a total of eight of the Amino Acids, it makes a four such proteins and distributes them over its membrane.

You are now sensitive to major chemical changes in the liquid and know that you are inhabiting mineral-rich icy water. It occurs to you that you might want offspring, but you lack the size to split effectively ((offspring would not be controllable until later: right now they would just swim around doing what you do, essentially)). You detect a little bit of sugar in the water and hasten towards it. You bump against a hard substance and can tell that this is part of a sugar crystal. Tiny bits of the sugar float around as well. As you reach to envelope one, you feel something jostle you.


In other news, the cell is now Vitascinti or "Lifespark".
Edit: Adding basus to the end of Vitascinti because it should be binomial.

grab as much sugar as we can, and try to detect jostler's position (or just general direction).
Once having enough energy, expand cytoskeleton in a long flagellum, with proteins at the base to make it rotate.

posting to watch, maybe interact from next turn, and to suggest:

Figure out what jostled us and absorb some sugar!

Use your new found senses to examine your surroundings, determining what's nearby and what jostled you.
