Hint: predation
Got plenty of time, let's say by 9pm PDT this coming Sunday. Reward scheme as vague and implausible as last time. Speaking of which, I guess I do owe someone a beer*. And it happens to be geographically plausible even. And a little bit weird.
Open to members and ex-members of a 'certain department' this time, as there shouldn't be any advantages.
*when I gets me a supplementary job that can, uhhh, cover food expenses and stuff. My current one barely covers rent in this damn expensive-yet-very-'sustainable' yuppieville corner of the Northwest. I guess pretending to save the world by buying organic lettuce is more important than affordable student housing... anyone need a spare biotic dishwasher/PCR monkey/data entry robot/slave?
Although, come to think of it... one could live off media for a while, eh? I think we have all the essential amino acids on the chemical shelves somewhere...and lab grade sucrose. Yeah, we're set. Pun intended.

Well then, I shall guess. Perhaps it is a myxozoan? And the electron-lucent zone to the right is the cap for the polar capsule?
ReplyDeleteright concept, but I did say protist, and I did imply it having multicellular forms... ^.^
ReplyDelete(myxozoa incl myxosporidia, right? the reduced single celled metazoans? or am I mixing something up?)
There is some long distance convergence there though =P
