Certainly not down the main passage presented in post #104 where we ate the mold - we don't even know where that led (I'm actually having some problems putting the full map in order in my head).

See attached file for basic Layout. Robot not drawn to scale.

As to Evolution (for discussion, not for now):
In general/theory, I agree with the basics of SWBob's suggestion here, however now is not the moment as we don't have enough fluid or time to do so, and, if I may suggest, we seriously consider a focusing element so that the lasers run through our crest (instead of our eyes) for various effects (scattering, focusing, intensifying, etc) based on how we work it.

The shards are parts of a broken bottle from the room the robot is in. It was full of nutrient rich liquid. This is pretty obvious from looking at the first few pages and using some deductive reasoning.

Knowing this and basic light physics, we know that any attempts to 'focus' our lasers through the shards would be foolhardy, as you don't use random glass bottles to focus lasers. You use carefully created and aligned lenses. The only result firing our lasers through the glass shards would have is diffusing them even further than they already are, and considering how weak they are currently this would effectively remove all use for them. They already don't have much of one.

We need to increase energy output.

Currently we have both laser eyes and bioluminescence - not bad, but that's two things that take radiant energy (light) and focus it into two different ways, being inefficient in both evolutions and our (limited) bio-energy distribution.

Thanks for the reminder. With the Dweller dead bioluminescence is now useless considering we have echolocation.

UNEVOLVE BIOLUMINESCENCE.
