The world may never know smile emoticon I like the virus angle -
nice twist. I can picture the little virus injection needle
thing randomly spreading across the planet, transforming certain
species to jump to their next equilibrium point by transforming
their internal bacteria which then will help shape the
development of the*bacterial symbiote species in a different
direction. I like it better than "random cosmic rays" anyway.
"oops, flipped a bit from 0 to 1 - time to evolve!" although
probably more likely All sci-fi but fun sci-fi == Yeah, they
weren't doing so great by that point. I forgot why - I thought
it was atmospheric changes but I can't remember. Long time since
school smile emoticon ==
