"The program presets certain strategies to help attain goals. The strategies model what real predators do. So one preset strategy is to freeze where you are and wait, to ambush. Another is to random-walk until you stumble on your prey, and then pursue. A third is to camouflage yourself by taking on some element of the environment, so you blend in. And fourth is to mimic the prey's behavior- to imitate it." (pg. 225)
What this swarm is doing is unbelievable. They are able to evolve on their own due to their situation, and that is far beyond what Jack thought this cloud could do. Jack and Rosie went out of the facility to try, and get something so they can be able to kill the nano-particle's and they were not going to let it happen. The black cloud is much bigger in appearance now, because it has reproduced, and has become faster. The black cloud was able to track down Jack and Rosie in the parking lot, and they trapped them in a car. While trapped the black cloud was able to configure themselves, and make a mirror image of Jack and Rosie's terrified expression. This black cloud has literally become like a predator, and they evolve quickly. I can not believe that nobody has called in for help from the government. Are they waiting for it to be too late, and for everyone to die, and the black cloud to have a million nano-particle's. I find it selfish that Ricky the manager of the company does not want to call in help, because he doesn't want to lose his job, because right now people are losing their life's. The purpose of this passage is to convey to the reader that the black cloud will continue to evolve and adapt to kill it's prey. The depiction of the future reveal's that the present believe's that a man made plague will continue and evolve to kill everybody.
