You search around the cavern, looking for any way out... other than that bitter cold, nastily strong current that got you here. You could ride it out... if you could handle the cold and the almost blade-like variances in the current itself.
There is also a hole in one wall. Small, hidden, and dark, but it's there. It could possibly be a way out.
The Banker (+1 bonus DNA) doesn't even seem to care about you any more. He just sends a jet of flame to keep the ice from overtaking the patch of vines the smaller cells rely on, tosses you a sideways glance that says 'you could help, too', and ignores you entirely.
So, you swim down the cave, looking for some actually nutritious food, and eventually find yourself in an even larger cavern. It's full of the same vines in the other cavern, and is obviously connected to the flowing tunnels, as there's a fairly large opening through which you can see shards of ice flowing, but there's no current in the cavern itself. Some lazy looking cells, with a multitude of flagella, float between the vines. There are several more exploding cells, and it's obvious that they are extremely common throughout this tunnel system, and that these vines would over take the entire tunnel system without them.
Speaking of the vines, there are other plants here. And no ice visible on the walls. Some short plants, resembling massive bulbs, are dispersed around the cavern, and some of them are even blooming. Hundreds of silvery pink petals, exquisitely thin and extremely long, adorned with air bubbles and gem like crystallized nectar, arrayed in massive starbursts of beauty. There are also some plants of a leafed variety. Squat, twisting things, covered in four-petal blooms, clinging to and wrapping around anything that doesn't move in an effort to get to... Well, that's interesting. Right in the middle of the cavern is a VERY bright globe of light. A massive jaw hangs down from the orb, with some very... interesting teeth. They more resemble leaves than teeth. As it turns, you see it's back is covered with some sort of fur, that blocks out the light on one side. And the strange cell just sits there, constantly turning, slowly, leaving half the cavern bathed in artificial day, and the other in what appears like dead night.
You have 4 hp
you have 3 stomach
you have 7 DNA, and can reproduce/evolve at any time you want.
