>>5402577>>5402578>>5402582>>5402583>Far beneath the crashing ice above, two starving, mindless Flounder Feeders lock mandibles and intertwine their tongues. By doing so, they’re able to avoid radioactive destruction of genetic material and eliminate the risk the clouds won’t be caught in time. These two were some of the last of their kind when they stumbled on one another, but in four generations, there are a teeming hundred thrashing in the waves they once swam.The Flounder Feeders have developed a new, groundbreaking function for the releaser’s tongue: the swift, convenient, and safe transfer of genetic material. Unlike the previous cloud method, this is done at a much lower risk of radioactive gamete deformation and is practically guaranteed to be received by the birther. While not every attempt is a success, an order of magnitude more are than before and the results are readily apparent. Even more, releasers retain the ability to release clouds into the tide, allowing loners and separate packs to continue trading genetic material. In only a short few thousand generations, the Flounder Feeders have exploded in number and are now at half of their pre-sterilization population. Their population is growing at a steady rate, despite their elevated cancer and the many perils of the narrow band ecosystem, and will continue for the foreseeable future. The threat of extinction, once a pressing urgency, has faded into a looming warning. Things could go wrong at any time but for the Flounder Feeders, for once, they’re going right.
