@peterrhague the issue here is that endosymbiosis has occurred multiple times, maybe it's possible that it's just really hard before you have mitochondria but also life seems rather complex even when we try to look back on the simplest forms of it, it's almost certainly just a mix of factors

@itsMeri166 while i'm personally partial to the serpent's hand, whoever is in the "right" really depends on the parameters you set in the scp universe and what you see as canon. it's a reflection of what you value when literally the entire universe (or not, again pick your canon) is at stake
