But the cephalopods were different. They directed their own evolution, by actively editing their RNA, which was the link between DNA and proteins. And by doing this, they evolved a lot faster and in a direction that helped them survive.
I almost believed this. Where do your thoughts spring from?
The baby cephi was too cute to be bad, you are a joy killer. You treat us to the colors that determine its emotions, blue for resignation to fate,yellow for hope. I even smiled when its color went bright orange.
Only to tell us the baby cephi is a pawn in a bigger conspiracy. Noooo, too cute to be. We need you to continue this story.
Well, if you check my sources at the bottom of the post, there is evidence for cephalopods changing their RNA in a way that's not found in any other animal. That's where the idea came from :)
Baby cephi just wants a better world for its people. How many people walked by it that day, maybe even kicked it into a corner because they were disgusted?
Baby cephi just wants a better world.
Aha, poetic license huh . In essence you are preaching "no empathy". So Nora and the 7 others answer for the sins of a society, that saw cephis as just some other animal to be hunted and eaten, i would understand.
But if baby cephi is this good at surviving, such that its innocence is traded for a chance at the better world. I wonder what the better world has in store for her con.
As I mentioned in a different comment, good and evil are a question of perspective. In this story, there are no winners.
