The Rizan take aim at improving their defenses further, causing the niche margin of predatory cells that are capable of successfully consuming a healthy Rizan specimen to shrink even further. The new Chitin layering of the cell membrane causes most cells that encounter the Rizan to slide off the complex chitin. The chitin is somewhat resource-intensive to create, but requires little maintenance once formed, thereby slowing the rate of reproduction but, overall, causing an increase in population growth.
As before, the Rizan choose to pursue cells similar in size to them, and avoid cells that are larger. This practice continues to serve them well for the most part, as many cells that are similar in size to the Rizan are fairly vulnerable to the predatory practices of the Rizan. Strangely, however, the amount of prey cells in every Rizan niche drops inexplicably. The population growth of the Rizan remains unchanged... at the moment.

The Rizan, in another vital step forward along the chain of evolution, complete their protonucleus into a full nucleus, with a considerable size and complex enough membranal functions to encourage and allow for the management of multiple expression circumstances, allowing for additional behavioral complexity. In addition, this change provides minute improvements to every other action the cells take, and secure the process of reproduction to prevent dangerous recombinations.
They maintain the same pattern of pursuit and evasion, allowing the Rizan to survive quite well. However, the population of prey cells continues to drop, leaving the Rizan at an energy deficit and causing a Population Drop.

In the face of the rising energy deficit, the Rizan adapt to the most reliable energy source available- their Star. The radiation provided by the star they orbit allows them to adapt their photoreceptors for simple use in energy reactions, using the energy provided in heat to quicken reactions that would normally required stored cellular energy, thereby saving them a small amount they would normally have had to spend. This newly added photometabolism provides a small supply of additional energy, due to the limited light that reaches the current depth.
They continue their normal hunting, but with the added behavioral specification that, in addition to similarly sized cells, the smaller cells will be included as well. In an unfortunate revelation, however, this not only doesn't help recover the population of the Rizan, but the situation becomes more dire. For whatever reason, the cells inhabiting the niche are rapidly leaving, causing the Rizan's population of prey to go dry. These factors together cause a steep population loss.

[In the event of a tie, I've decided to go with the earliest vote.]
Given the recent photometabolic acquisition, the Rizan choose to go closer to the surface, making small headway in the general population, and as a result there are slightly more prey species available for hunting. The numbers of prey are still quite small compared to previous generations however, but the extra energy garnered by a much improved photometabolic adaptation allows for the energy deficiency to shrink even further, allowing the Rizan population to be stabilized.
