Slime brain expansion

Looking around, I saw six different bodies; it looked like my more aggressive strain of slime was a lot better at reproducing that I'd thought, especially as these bodies were on a portion of the coast that didn't have that much in the way of biomass.

I could feel bodies out in the water; six more of them. It felt like they'd adapted to the water somehow and were now hunting fish.

Pulling them back to shore, I reversed the changes I'd made. They shouldn't have had the intelligence to make those kinds of changes, even if the power was there. Were the increased complexity of the neural net required to handle periodic massive downloads of information getting them closer to sentience?

Baseline slimes weren't any more intelligent than an amoeba. My ability was telling me that these would be about as smart as an average dog.
