Forget about doing anything else, I'm worried about dealing with the evolution system properly in this state! Isn't there a pain resistance skill or something!?
Apparently, not.
[Would you like to use the evolution menu?]
ABSOLUTELY! PLEASE!
[Congratulations on reaching the maximum level for your current species. Evolution will allow you to change your form and increase your stats as a monster.]
[ You have maximised your mutations! As a reward, an additional ten percent evolutionary energy will be granted.]
WHAT!? Bonus energy!?
[Warning: evolving will make securing XP and Biomass more difficult as fewer rewards are given for preying on creatures less evolved than yourself.]

• Veteran Mature Worker
• Senior Mage Ant
• Mana Soldier (special)
Ascended Mind Ant
Nascent Hive
Collective Mage
• Colony Paragon (rare)]

Social Processing Cortex? From the description it seems as if it would allow me to utilise the minds of nearby colony members
sub-minds to manage the job of coordinating the extra minds. The power I'd be able to wield would be boggling! Not to mention, more ants would mean more processing
