You ENVELOP other small cells.

You have reached "Feared" status.

You have a good amount of energy.

You have grown larger.

You have gotten smarter.

We're gonna need some way of communication with our scouts. Can we MANUFACTURE HORMONES?

do we spend the meantime working on hormones? or getting more energy?

Command: Scout for Nutrients

>>5192303

Research into CELL SPECIALIZATION.
(Let's develop dedicated immune cells to destroy our opponents!)

You decide not to mutate.

>Insert Command_____

We need a few scouts, some quicker cells to surround hostiles and prevent them from escaping and a main body that keeps eating the cells caught by the others and churning out more specialized cells.

>>5192531
good idea,
lets start making a multicelled organism.

can we get some of those cells into very offensive cells? hopefully, we'll be able to kill the bigger cells, and EAT THEM EAT THEM ALL! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You send off several scouts with messenger hormones in search of another nutrient base.

Then, take the resulting engine of destruction towards the nearest accumulation of enemy cells.

You decide to specialize your cells.

Mutate into fungus, take root.

We need to try to learn how to absorb KNOWLEDGE from absorbed enemies. That and/or learn how to mimic/create our own versions of absorbed enemy cells.

>>5193016

Bitch, im a T-Killer Cell.

You divide.

Want to try to grow some ENERGY ABSORBING CELLS that can absorb ambient energies from our environment to fuel us. Should focus on HEAT, RADIATION, and LIGHT.
Another set of cells might be needed to CONVERT said energies but the absorbers should be first just so we have little energy powder kegs floating around. They're gonna be useful later.

There is no source of nutrients near you.

You notice there are very few cells in this area compared to the last.

Well in that case, We need to ABSORB some of those fuckers and get some new KNOWLEDGE.

try and MUTATE into an ENERGY ABSORBING CELL ourselves. Then try to MUTATE into ENERGY CONVERTING CELL that turns ENERGY ELECTRICITY into NUTRIENTS.

(brain = synapse firing and electricity; lets eat its thoughts!)

>>5193176
Link off synapses, leech electrical impulses for energy.

>>5193182
Hells yeah! I wanna be the cell that makes people dumber!

We're evolving into cellular /tg/!!!

You attempt to mutate.

You fail.

You are low on energy.

>Insert Command_____

>>5193209

How many cells do we have left? Or are we solo now?

In either case, attempt to absorb some brain cells. Those bastards are all synapsed up, so they cant run away.

sidle up to a brain cell and cover it with your mass. do not absorb it, spread yourself out over it. Osmose sugars from the cell as they appear (cell gets it from blood). Become a conductive brain sheethe as you expand, give your host SUPERINTELLIGENCE.

>>5193225

Solo.

You absorb a several brain cells.

You feel much smarter and full of energy.

With your new found sentience, you wonder what would happen if you absorbed all of the cells.

>Insert Command_____

Guys... we don't want to start any shit while in the brain, glial cells (immune cells of the brain) are TOUGH motherfuckers. And there's a fuckload of them, rougly one for each neuron.

>>5193209
Use our prior knowledge to REST long enough to DIVIDE just enough to keep ourselves safe but not attract enemy attention. Then send out a SCOUT CELL to search for new nutrients.

Then we'll MUTATE us up some ENERGY ABSORBERS and ENERGY CONVERTERS and leech onto the brain.

And put all that into command form. Thank you.

>>5193225
wait, why don't we just, you know, do what the guy under you suggested and pirate the nutrients bound for the brain cells..

place yourself into the gap the neurons left. Attempt neural function, see if you can cop some electrical energy out of the deal.

come on, brain sheethe and superintelligence! Am I the only one who likes that idea?

>>5193242

Too late.

>>5193243

I agree with this guy. Now we actually have enough energy to do anything, we need to create some form of energy-harvesting system by leeching off the neurons.

Send hormones to bend one neuron to our will.

Then use that neuron to control the rest of the brain.

With your new intelligence and energy, it becomes fairly simple to create Energy Absorber and Converters.

You also send out a scouting hormone to search for nutrients.

>Insert Command_____

>>5193248

I second becoming a brain symbiote. After superintelligence we should create Stargates and travel SPACE!!

>>5193263
replace NEURAL GAP created by ENVELOPING neurons. use ENERGY CONVERSION to steal the signals you receive and convert them into ENERGY.

>>5193267
Alternatively just subvert the entire brain.

>>5193267
and infect OTHER brains!

none shall be without their head-help!

You begin to excrete hormones to control the neurons.

You succeed.

Your enemies, that had begun homing in, stop in their tracks.

You now control the brain.

>Insert Command_____

>>5193284
that was fucking fast. are we in a goldfish or something?

I think our options just became limited.

Shit. Do you guys realize what we're capable of now that we can convert energy into matter? We don't just have to make NUTRIENTS. We could convert this brains thoughts into whatever we fucking want.

>>5193281
Lets become ZERG!

>>5193263

By latching onto the Neurones, can we EXAMINE to find out what kind of animal we are in? As we dont actually know.

Meanwhile, if we have enough energy, divide into 4 or 8. Dont tire ourselves out, just generate enough cells to get a good little energy farm going.

>>5193284
Look out through the eyes of our host, if possible.

>>5193286

You're not in a human. That's all I will reveal.

>Insert Command_____

>>5193293
the brain probably has like, half a thought. We should use BRAIN CONTROL to sent test-pulses to the side of the brain and back, to get an idea how big it is.

>>5193284
Convert some cells from the bloodstream into superconductive sheath for neurons to improve brain transmission and efficiency, then analyse what knowledge is in the brain.

>>5193300
we need to somehow get INTO a human. maybe if we're in a fish we can be eaten, and move up the food-chain that way?

You look out through the eyes of your host.

You're in a living room.

There is someone sitting on a chair above you.

>>5193298

You are a cat.

Well, then we need to come up with a way to survive stomach acid first.

>>5193300

Well shit, surely if we control the brain then we control the whole organism, as a parasite?

EXAMINE BODY.

Then try out some basic stuff, movement, speech, etc.

>>5193308
Heat from cooking would be bad. Very bad.

Ensure that the brain continues functions as normal without harming us.

>>5193324
And by that I mean continue autonomous functions like breathing, heartbeat and so on. Boring normal stuff.

>>5193318

A cat? Well shit, you should have said earlier.

LICK GROIN

-Mission Complete-

fuck yes, you are the best quest ever.

>>5193318
Really? Divide, send scout cells to salivary glands to check permeability.

>>5193318
Encourage excess licking and affectionate behavior on the part of this cat. Simultaneously keep harvesting electrical energy and dividing occasionally. Send a few cells to the mouth to be licked onto things. Try to make sure they're mutated to survive hazards.

>>5193323
see
>>5193318

>>5193327
We can split and leave a piece of us to do it while we absorb shit and become a symbiote.

>>5193293

Hahahahaha. We could make plutonium carrying cells that are made of lead. have them carry the radioactive shit down and outof the body we're in and contaminate the ENVIRONMENT.

Radiactive cat of death coming up.

>>5193347

But how will we stay in contact with our invasion force?

OP here. Making a new thread.

>>5193352
MUTATE or LEARN (whichever is appropriate) a sort of chemical HORMONE TEPEPATHY. This way we can remain in contact over long (to a cell) distances such as between different INFECTED organisms.

>>5193359
Divide our sentience.

>>5193359

We can tailor pheromones as upgraded messenger hormones; they have no problems surviving outside the body and we should be able to release them in great number. This way we can stay in contact with our colonies.

>>5193366
link it in this thread please.

>>5193359
I suggest making them self suffecient, but also including a hormonal ovverride we can use whenever we arrive in another host.

>>5193359

Appoint a general.
