Be Fruitful

Before they could respond, I fled to a different place. In Africa, I altered the biology of the slime body there to make it more aggressive and hungrier. There was a chance that my allies might one day be an enemy, and having an army right under their noses might be useful.

I made the same changes to some of my other bodies, in certain other worlds.

Amy couldn't change her own body, but that was an artificial limitation imposed by her parasite. I could alter my bodies within the limits of what the data allowed me to do, and so I altered some of them.

By the time I was done, those I'd changed had been given a single biological command.

Be fruitful and multiply.
