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...
