#makin up lore and sprinkleing in lore that sits in the head

SPIN: I have never read about creatures being modified from sea to sky, that is truly something.

SPIN: And what do you mean by creature modification? I only knew that the ancients did that. Granted I’m not too surprised if it’s a thing. I didn’t have any communication for over 400 cycles, so who knows what else others have done.

SPIN: Wait , how in the world can an animal manipulate a gun?

Your vultures are quite interesting

Avian creatures ..

mine are more like mollusks and have little social structure, except who can beat each other in a fight

would you happen to record the mutations over time of your vultures

I would like the data

-eternal anomaly

SPIN: Wow it’s so interesting to know such similarly named creatures are the complete opposites. And of course I have the records for the mutations over generations.

SPIN: The species started with purposed organisms, as most do. They were scouting creatures, originally intended to scope out the areas for new cans and sent out in pairs. But that didn’t last long, blame the mass exodus of the Ancients. After that most just stuck around my can and settled in the abandoned buildings.

SPIN: The first generation didn’t have much change, aside from lacking the mechanical parts of their parents. They were very social , although lacked much of the complexity of today. With most relationships only revolving around pairs. They’d started to become much more group focused by the 5-6th generation. Mask complexity also increased with this much more social environment. I hypothesize that this was because they needed this to help distinguish between each other.

SPIN: They also grew bigger, until about the 8th generation when this petered out. This size protected them from the lizards they routinely fought and brought about much more colorful pigmentations.

SPIN: Most major mutations stoped around this time. Probably because the more highly mutable genes had died out. So the ones today look pretty similar to the ones four generations back.

SPIN: Oh, they’re also very long lived. Which is why so few generations have happened since the founding group.

SPIN: I’ll try to get diagrams and references to you sometime soon. They’re just fairly old and buried under all my files so it might take awhile.
