Some humans simply don’t know how to care for themselves. This is rather impolite. The myriads of co-occupants of their bodies – the myriads of microbes also have a rights. Rights to their future.
In this game you play the bacteria who, in contrast to their host, are empathic enough to care for more than themselves. You strive to keep your populations in check so that you don’t happen to off the host. They are so weak, these hosts. And you take care of the surplus of food that the gluttonous mouth keeps feeding itself. You strive to keep the balance.
