Lost Amoeba

On the Shoulders of Giants

Lost Amoeba is an anomaly event chain triggered by investigating the Movement in the Clouds anomaly that can appear on gas giants. Getting the event chain is necessary to unlock the It Followed Me Home achievement.

Lost Amoeba

The [science ship name] has located the source of the movement in the upper atmosphere of [gas giant name]. Surprisingly, there was no ship hidden in the clouds, but rather a young Space Amoeba, its mother nowhere to be seen.

There is no way of knowing how this juvenile was separated from its mother or others of its kind, but one thing is certain: it appears to have imprinted on the [science ship name]. As the crew completed their survey of [gas giant name], they found that the Amoeba was following them. It has proven difficult to shake, and [science ship scientist] has taken quite a shine to the youngster's determination.

Our Science Officer suggests allowing the juvenile to follow the vessel, certain we may learn more about Space Amoebas in the process.

Lost Juvenile Amoeba Researchers report that the lost Amoeba juvenile found near [gas giant name] is no longer following our science fleet. After doing so for the past several weeks, the juvenile reportedly entered a hyperlane via some biological hyperdrive capacity. Perhaps it recognized the terrain, or sensed others of its kind. Or perhaps it simply tired of chasing after our ship. Though our ships refrained from interacting with the juvenile as instructed, passive scans have led to some revelations regarding the creature's physiology.   Trigger conditions: The Space Amoeba Juvenille follows the science ship Mean time to happen: 3 months Interesting. The Space Amoeba Juvenille disappears Unlock the  Amoeba Breeding Program technology Add 80% research progress if already unlocked Gain 90-10000  Society Research if already researched

Fully Fledged The Amoeba juvenile that joined our fleet some time ago appears to have reached full maturity. Now an impressive adult, she is no less loyal to the ships that gave her a new home when she was stranded on [gas giant name]. Her time spent with the fleet appears to have encouraged adaptive behaviors not typically found in wild Space Amoebas, making her a more formidable presence on the battlefield than others of her kind. Across [empire name], her image has become something of a mascot for the [empire adjective] spirit. Only one question remains: what should we name her?   Trigger conditions: Controls the Space Amoeba Juvenille Mean time to happen: 12 months Bubbles.
