That tree carrot has put me in quite the predicament, on one side there is me hiding behind a large rock, to the left is a large battle of a bunch of spiders fighting against the scythe beetles, a few lizards in the mix just to spice it up. On the right is my mother preparing to chuck more of my brothers at the crowd giving them a death sentence; I'm glad I just got thrown to the wolves because compared to this, that was like easy mode.
Should I intervene though, is the question? I watch as more brothers get thrown to their death by Mother until she runs out of little suction cup monster children to throw.
To be honest it could be another of my species, or maybe my evolved brother, do I have a rival?! But, just the way it lobs its children is oddly familiar, since I experienced it first hand, I would know! My mother would lob her children left, right, then over head. My gosh, Mother it really is you!
As the mayhem increases with my brothers poking and prodding at the beetles, lizards, and spiders. My mother rolls into battle like a battle hardened beach ball. Leaving grooves in the ground as she rolls. She must have spent a lot on her suction cups to be able to do that.
She steam rolls over it all crushing would be spiders but, getting heavily damaged by the beatles blade. I can see her body start regenerate but, it isn't enough, she has not upgraded it enough to regenerate damage in a battle. Neither have I but I'm like 3 days old. Give me a break!
Mother is not the smartest hell spawn around and instead of retreating, she picks up a beetle blade first, cutting her suction cup apart as the beetle wiggles, it eventually manages to break free of mothers grasp and falls to the ground upside down, mother once again rolls over it picking it up but, this time not blade first, she then uses her draining spike and stabs into it, breaking apart the beatles under side, killing and draining it.
Way to go mother! That gives me an idea for how I can win as long as this upgrade can bust through a beetles underside.
GladOs upgrade my spikes to have stronger drain and breakthrough, oh and give my suction cups more power.
(Confirmed, upgrading the hosts Draining Spike:(Breakthrough and Draining) to (Weak), upgrading hosts Suction Cups:(Power) to (Medium)
(Costs 13 Biomass, remaining amount 3)
The world went black again and I quickly woke up with my new powers to put my plan into action, I can tell some time has passed as all of the lizards have died as well has most of my brothers, mother has also taken some more damage, mu mutation times are definitely getting longer and I feel lighter either from my suction cups limbs increase in power or taking off the weight of the Biomass, I don't know.
I roll in from behind a beetle about my size and stealthily extend and wrap my tendrils around the beetles legs, I then use all the force my new and improved tendrily suction cups can provide and I PUSSSH!!
I manage to flip the beetle on its back and latch onto its underside. I proceed to use my new draining spike and swing a few streched tendrils and slam their spikes into the beetle, it doesnt break all the way through, but I have chipped it, I do it again using all my power to keep the beetle from turning over. I manage to break through and I start to gain Biomass a little faster than I ever have before.
[You have gained 4 Biomass]
Sadly, I couldn't finish it as a couple spiders tried to come and feast on the dying beetle. Alright, let's see if you are still safe in that spidery carapace of yours with my new hardened upgrades.
The spiders do the same thing as last time and jump at me coordinated by the first one that jumps. I once again grab them using my suction cups holding them in front of me or behind me? I don't know, I'm a ball, all that matters is I got these spiders locked up.
[You have been inflicted with [Weak Poison]
Of course, these spiders didn't miss the chance to bite my suction cups with their fangs, injecting me with poison, but it doesn't matter.
[You have negated the Poison with Regeneration and 3 Biomass]
[Current Biomass Storage 4/100]
I poke at them, it it about as hard as the beatles underside, but that doesnt matter as I can see more spiders coming my direction, too many to fight, there are like 20 coming directly at me.
I use my Fleshy Flash ability, still can't get the name right, and I quickly speed away about a foot to the right, I use this momentum and transfer it to the spiders in my grasp, launching them at a rock. The spiders hit the rock and I can see their carapace bleeding and cracked. I roll over to them and pick them up and start to drain them as I run away.

[You have gained 12 Biomass]
[You have reached lvl 7]
Oh look at that level 7 and you can eat dead spiders without getting poisoned, they really are juicy, still glad I can’t actually taste though.
Behind me, I can see the 20 or so spiders that are chasing me get trampled over by mother, she doesn't look so good, some spiders crawl on her as they jumped on her body and bite at her filling her with poison, she doesn't have the same shifting ability as me so it is hard for her to grab the little spiders.
As a previous human, it is hard to watch, my second mother get swarmed by poisonous spiders even if she did throw me at a wolf, I mean it isn't her fault that she is as dumb as a brick. To be fair though, she is at least smarter than my brothers, they are now below wolves on the dumbness chart, I mean they don't seem to know how to do anything except suck, literally and metaphorically.
Should I help Mother? I mean she is definitely a worst mom contender and should be barred from having any more children, but she is after just another monster in this cave driven completely by instinct and her instinct tells her to do that. Hmm?
Before I can come up with an answer to that question. Mother answers it for me by rolling her spider infested body toward me. I start to run away again, but as I was thinking and not paying attention to my surroundings all that much she has gained too much ground for me to do anything other than get steam rolled over.
MOTHER?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! I DON'T WANT THE SPIDERS TOO!! I scream internally as mother rolls over me picking me up, luckily I am strong enough to get off her suction cup now, or atleast I would be if these stupid spiders didnt bite me again!
[You have been inflicted with (Weak Poison)
[You have negated the poison, using Regeneration and 3 Biomass]
Get off me you damn creepy crawly, as mother rolls me and the spider around, I stretch a tentacle and latch onto the spider as we reach the top of mothers body, I pry the spider off and chuck it off into the distance. Some more spiders latch off mothers body and come toward me biting me instead.

[You have been inflicted with (Weak Poison)
[You have been inflicted with (Weak Poison)
[You have been inflicted with (Medium Poison) as the Poisons mix in your body]
[You have negated the Poison using Regeneration and 6 Biomass]
GET OFF ME YOU DISGUSTING CRETINS!! STOP WASTING MY BIOMASS!!
I then proceed to squirm about loosening mothers grip as I pry the spiders off my body and throw them to the side away from me.
Mother has started to slow down as the poison sets in, it must be pretty high for her I mean, she must be going through Biomass like crazy to keep the poison at bay, I think I can see her body deflate and her movements grow sluggish a tell tale sign that her Biomass reserves are running low and her regeneration can't keep up with the poison. If I don't get the spiders off her she is going to die. And I'm going to be all alone with the spiders I threw off her. Not given a choice on the matter any more, I move suction cup by suction cup around her body prying and chucking spiders left and right I avoid most of their attacks but a few still get a bite on me.
[You have been inflicted with (Weak Poison)
[You have negated the poison using Regeneration and 3 Biomass]
[You have 4/100 Biomass]
Haaaah… that was tiring, I got all the spiders off you now, you should be grateful for having such an attentive hell spawn, such as myself. Alright if we keep going this way and make a left we can get in the clear of those spiders, just avoid the little stalagmite here and there and we are home free.
My mother did no such thing like a stubborn bull ran into the sharp rocks breaking them off. As I bob up and down suctioning to not get thrown off her. After destroying her fifth one, she comes to stop and starts moving back toward the spiders and carnage.
WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I PROMISE CANDY IF YOU GO THE OTHER WAY, AWAY FROM THE SPIDERS!!!
She doesn't listen to my mental screams and starts to go full speed at the spiders. I wrap my tendrils around her suction cups and pull to the left as hard as I can guiding her into a wall. We both slam into the wall together, but are okay as our squishy bodies can absorb the impact quite well. More spiders are coming now due to the loud noise of mother slamming into a wall. I use my Flesh Flash on the side of the wall, while holding onto mother. This ability sends us both moving and we start to gain even more momentum as I wrangle mother to run away from the horde of spiders. We get away from the spiders as I guide my mother around a couple rocky corners, losing the spiders in the process.
Wooo! Okay, I'll admit I lied, I have no candy to give you. But you are alive because of me, that is much better than candy. Also, can you stop slapping me against the floor, I am no longer a child! I use a tendril and guide her into a wall as she moves, stopping her momentum although it didn't create quite the impact it did, when those spiders were chasing us. When I stop her she slumps to the floor, as far as a suction cup ball monster can. And stays completely still.
Did… did she die? I mean she’s not moving? That was a lot of poison, but she should have the Biomass and I can see her regenerating some battle damage. I poke at the black syrupy liquid coming from her wounds to see if anything happens, it doesn't, but it feels as if the liquid is getting thicker and there is more of it. It gets thicker and thicker, until it engulfs her entire beach ball sized body. The black syrup is moving around her body and seems to be pulsating a little all previous indications that this was a white mass of suction cups and stagnant tendrils are gone and what is left is a thick bubble of syrup flowing around where she once was.
What?! What is happening? What the hell is this liquid! Can I eat it? I mean maybeee, lets try, as the saying goes if life gives you mysterious black goo that came out of your mothers body, you make Biomass.
This is payback for throwing me to the wolves and nearly killing me again by dragging me into your spider battle.
[You have absorbed 5 Biomass]
The black bubble squirms as I stick the spike into and drain it. I got 5 Biomass, just from sticking it in and pulling back out again. Mother was holding out on me! But now that I have scientifically concluded that I can eat my mother turned bubble monstrosity, I should probably figure out what is happening.
Wait?! What level was Mother! Could she be evolving!? I mean she did crush quite a few spiders and other things back there but is this what evolution looks like; you turn into a black bubble and pop out a new creature a few hours later.
If that is the case though, it seems mother did not put too much thought that evolving out in the open is not a good idea, not like she has too many of those anyway.
