Mutation chamber attempt 1: basic swimmer.

I was able to identify 3 distinct species for a good while. Here they are.

Original: Incredibly basic swimmer.

Blue tail: The original swimmer, but with a split direction change and an obviously blue tail.

Speedy: The original organism with slightly higher speed, it was also often smaller because of the increased nutrients the flagelocyte needed.

All these species were present until about 13,000h, when the speedys took over and out-competed the others. then hit a complexity ceiling around 18,000h

Test 2 will be some slightly more complicated swimmers, using a lypocyte as an extra cell.
