This time, the game opend up to Trisha coming down with a cold. 1 Bacteria produced Histamine B. After I released her, I followed her around for a ways and watched her wander to the Desert Terrarium. This is the first time I’ve seen a creature there since I started the game. Mind you, my oldest grendel, Carrie, is now 2 hours and 18 minutes old. It didn’t take her long to make her way back to the jungle terrarium. She seemed to enjoy playing with doors.
I checked on the others to find that Celeste has slowed down quite a bit since she was little. I took her to the Norn Terrarium to feed her seeds but she didn’t seem interested. She started to move on her own once Garth came back to her and she eventually picked up the pace again. Other Grendels were starting to slow down, though. Carrie stared at a door for a long time and said “eat door”. Revenant wouldn’t move from his spot next to the pond for a while and Lisa was smacking the norn dummy again. At least Garth was still moving around. Once everyone else got moving again, Celeste seemed to freeze. Other creatures smacking her didn’t seem to get her to move, either.
Rather than worry, I checked on the others. Carrie was exploring the ship, going as far as the middle level of the desert. Tiffany was ahead of her, eating seeds off the sands. Carrie actually seemed to be following her. Ahead of Tiffany was Trisha who’d been butting against the left side of the desert, watching Gnarlers and eating bramboo. I wasn’t worried since Boneys are supposed to do well in radiation. Tiffany was terrified of the boulders coming down, though.
Volcano aside, things started to quiet down again. The square roots have basically taken over the desert. Just then, another pregnancy. Lisa is pregnant again and with Revenant’s baby. Revenant’s already made great efforts to continue his own line and I’m proud of him. Lisa did manage to get sick with a bacteria but it cleared up without a hitch.
Also, I apparently oopsed in one of my previous posts. My oldest Grendel is Garth who is now nearly 3 hours old. Revenant got sick after I checked and found Antigen 5 in his system. I put him in confinement with a roamer who sprayed him down pretty well and fed him cough syrup and vitamin potions. I fed him a general cure and that seemed to do the trick. I let him join the others and watched him play with the door to the norn terrarium. Eventually he got stuck standing there saying “eat door”. I was sure it was nothing so I grabbed him and moved him to the norn terrarium myself.
Still, I was starting to get bored again. I injected Celeste full of Life and put her with Revenant. Then I tried coaxing them into mating and before long, she was pregnant. I was relieved that this worked so easily. It meant that she could mate after all and she laid her egg without any issues. Normally, I’d have checked on her genetics by now but I only found that GeneCompare still wouldn’t work on my computer.
After a short oatmeal break, I made the rounds again. Celeste was walking around the norn terrarium through the collection of calm balm potions that I’d scattered by the left elevator, Trisha and Lisa were stomping through the desert talking about hitting norns, Tiffany had made her way to the jungle and was eating awkwood seeds, Carrie was nearby, eating mushrooms and saying she disliked me, Revenant was napping in the norn terrarium, on the floor and Garth was at the top level of the jungle getting stung by bugs and moving right.
To make things more interesting for me, I added Popping Pappus to the world. I couldn’t seem to find it, though. A quick double check of the norn meso revealed that it had taken root, though. It was about then that I started adding a lot of plants and animals to the world. Fish went into the aquarium, justanut seeds were planted (thank you BD pack!), Anemones infested the waters along with Crobsters, Popplants and Terraka Weeds started to appear and Trappers were appearing in places other than the norn meso.
