The world is a dark and empty place to the Rizan, but now, at least, the unicellular creatures are capable of moving through it. While the current advantages of such a system are hardly noticeable, motility without sensation is still a relatively useful strength for a particulate feeder. There is little change in the predator/prey dynamics, and food is still fairly plentiful.
For unknown reasons, however, the Rizan population is Dropping.
Special Result: Delta (Sundays will now be a "Multiple Votes" day, whereby I will update as frequently as possible, based on when a vote consensus occurs. [Not this Sunday, since this is when the vote concluded]
-----------------------

Mobility: Protocytoskeleton [Limited movement, can reshape membrane like a rudder against an incoming current]
Offense: Passive
Defense: Acidic Cell Membrane [Linked with digestion systems]
Digestion: Acidic Denaturation [The most basic compounds can now be denatured for use]
-----------------------
Behavioral Choices:
Alpha) Do not use motility
Beta) Angle for movement randomly
Gamma) Always move
Adaptation Choices:
A) Produce a more potent acid
B) Adapt acidic systems for offense
C) Develop a flagella
D) Strengthen protocytoskeleton
E) Specialize cell membrane for optical sensation
F) Specialize cell membrane for tactile sensation
G) Specialize cell membrane for chemical sensation
H) Focus on increasing population

Seems our vote focus as a group is starting to diverge a bit. This is to be expected as the group grows. I would like to remind everyone to continually check the OOC so you know what the others are thinking about the given situation, even if you don't plan on participating in discussion (though it's suggested you do if you have anything important to say).

Within the small world of the Rizan, there was now light. Or, at least, the perception of it. The basic functionality of a light sensitive section of the cell membrane allows the Rizan to know when they are facing direct light, and when they are not. Combined with their relatively new source of motility, this allows the Rizan the base foundation of navigation.
For the duration of this transitory period, the Rizan spend their time constantly swimming. This unusual movement, separate from the natural currents, confuses some of the predators that have still not developed sufficient detection or mobility themselves. As such, the rates of predation drop slightly, and the Rizan are even Safer than before.
The new light sensitive membrane detects nothing abnormal at first, just a continuous period of darkness and light swapping back and forth- the days and nights of a primitive world. Over hundreds of years of observation, if the Rizan were capable of thought, they would notice a gradual decline in light reaching them.
For unknown reasons, however, the Rizan population continually Dropping.

While not as overwhelming as the introduction of light to the lifespan of the insignificant Rizan, chemoreception provides the fledgling species the flexibility required for non-optical detection of potentially dangerous or useful chemicals. The Rizan evolved special membrane pores that can take in these particles, sending an intracellular signal upon arrival. This signal provides the basic notification that there is a particle in or around the area of the Rizan individual, allowing the Rizan to react accordingly. This reaction pathway is the first step towards more advanced chemoreception. In the immediate future, basic chemoreception has no real effect on the Rizan's natural efficiency.
The Rizan move closer to the light of their parent star, encountering many new species. Most of them find the Rizan presence more confusing than anything else and stray away almost immediately after encountering the acidic membrane. While a select few of the new species do begin successfully predating upon the Rizan, the net result is nearly inconsequential. As the Rizan rise to the light, the rate of population decline dwindles, and soon enough the Rizan population Stabilizes.
