Evolution to Stage 2

Hive Mind - Hive
The Hive Mind is a focal point and directive for the greater collective. It is able to focus on an area and direct consciousness there, like you focusing on this screen. It takes root early in a biospheres development, driving development there through experimentation.

Swarm Will - Exist
The Greater Swarm Will eventually comes into effect when a biosphere has been built up significantly and enough unconscious hive creatures are there. They share their experiences as a collective, with varying degrees of intelligence. Their thoughts are the swarm's thoughts.

Wildgrowth - Mutate
Secondary Growth from the Hive. Mutations for example that were not originally intended. Sometimes destroyed, often consumed, and other times left to seed the SwarmSurge further. This can be both rapid but also slow growth.

Galactic Nodes - Link
Nodes Linking the Collective from point to point around the galaxy. A nervous system or neural net. They operate on both sonic and telepathic impulse. Player characters can also be nodes, also known as intelligent convergences.

Pure Swarm Will - Experience
Unconcious Creation. This concept is being explored now. Helping define the collective consciousness through unconscious creation, memory, history and experience. A purification of life through struggle and adaption.

Surge Impulse - Expand
Surges happen when the pressure on an area or biosphere grow. Like a pipe bursting. When it has been integrated into the environment fully or its food supply runs out. The hive prefers to maintain a biosphere to sustain it in most cases. So when this happens, the hive surges elsewhere to find new ground. These tend to be seasonal by nature, going through cycles.
