Argaine (The_Wayward_Admiral): Grow Crystal on Mountain: 4Gabrielus (GabrielGG): Assist: 12With little exertion from Argaine, billions of molecules begin to organize into a massive quartz crystal. It threatens to split or fall apart numerous times; however, timely intervention by Gabrielus each time prevents this. In the end, the colossal crystal stands about the size of its mountain's original top, and fills in its collapsed area. Light fractures and scatters, making it a glittering display of color. Perhaps as a side effect, or by absurd coincidence, a variety of the hydrothermal vent chemotrophs has emerged in the crescent continent's gulf overlooked by the crowned mountain. Because of a vent's sudden exploding, they have strayed to the surface where they cannot survive. However, one lucky one split and mutated at just the right moment, and, rather than making proteins essential to survival in a vent, now produce ones that store the energy of sunlight in sugars, to be consumed later. This emergence of photosynthesis exploits the atmosphere's deadly levels of carbon dioxide and pumps out oxygen, deadly for contemporary forms of life, but essential to more complex ones. What should be done?

"This is a vital step in life. I belive we should exploit this and expand this organisms population, unless you have any objections?" Action: encourage a population boom of the photosynthizer

"Photosynthesis is the basic building blocks of most food chains in the galaxy, from there not only do they transform harmful co2 into glucose and o2 but also help clean up toxins in where they are. Most nonphotosyntheisers eat them for their glucose. They are the first real step in the food web"

Shall I lead these photosynthesizers to the sun so that they never stray and wither?

Xelio (Skyguy98): Populate Autotrophs: 6Nal'Onor (Aquos): Assist Xelio: 13:The photosynthesizers, lacking pigments, at first have trouble catching on. Fortunately, a bit of assistance from the gods helps here. The cells' rate of mitosis is temporarily boosted, increasing their presence in the gulf and allowing them to begin to spread to the rest of the ocean. Gabriuelus (GabrielGG): Assist: 14Nitrogen and phosphorus-rich rocks to the sides of rivers crumble and fall, dissolving in the water. The nutrients flow down to the ocean, and either meet eager autotrophs or lay the foundation for their arrival. This ties into the above population boom, and manages to sustain it. Foushoo (February Steam of Foushoo): Elevate Autotrophs (assumed action): 12The autotrophic bacteria are at work pumping oxygen into the atmosphere. With a little help from Foushoo, the oxygen slows its exit from the cell, providing buoyancy that brings them closer to the water's surface, and thus the light of the suns. The recent population explosion of the autotrophs has led to an "oxygen catastrophe" not unlike earth's. The coastal protocell branch is lethally averse to oxygen, and with the acidic waters it has evolved to withstand gone, it is easily outcompeted by the oxygenating population and now faces extinction. The hydrothermal vent communities face much the same problem; the sugar-digesting species, in particular, faces its genetic material being destroyed by the oxygen levels higher than that which it needs. The nucleated cells are much better off, since their DNA is well-protected. A revolutionary partnership results where the nucleated ones house the smaller sugar digesters through endosymbiosis. This keeps the little things safe from the oxygenating atmosphere, and, in return, they share the energy gained from respiration. One half of this eukaryotic union stays at the bottom feeding on the chemotrophs, while the other has drifted to the surface and subsists on the autotrophs.

Gabriuelus (GabrielGG): Artificial Selection: 14
With a bit of "persuasion," the autotrophic prokaryotes now create chlorophyll to aid in photosynthesis. As they grow, reproduce, and die, some populations form stromatolites.
The eukaryotic cells have been given a bit more lenience, and have diversified greatly. Not only do they feed on the alien cyanobacteria, some have taken to eating their peers, or even those that do so. Some have also formed a bond with the cyanobacteria much like they have with their mitochondria. In general, the eukaryotes are mostly planktonic.
As the greenhouse gases that the anaerobic ecosystem was once based on vanish, species intolerant to oxygen are driven into deeper, darker parts of the ocean to survive. Meanwhile, the planet is beginning to cool from the loss of insulation. The poles are beginning to freeze over, and the autotrophs' growth is not halting. What could happen next?
