Proposal: One Scary Virus [Trivial]

[Introduce the concept of Assimilation. The Virus now becomes one nasty customer!]

In the Virus rule replace this section:
If when the Virus Pollutes no Strain’s Biomass is reduced, the Virus must Consume the Strain with most Population between the ones emitting the same element the Virus absorbs. The same Strain that forced the Virus to Pollute must enforce this paragraph’s action.
, with:
If when the Virus Pollutes no Strain’s Biomass is reduced, the Virus must Assimilate the Strain with most Population between the ones emitting the same element the Virus absorbs. When the Virus Assimilates a Strain, reduce the target Strain's Population by the Virus' Population, and then add the amount of Population the Assimilated Strain lost onto the Virus' Population. The last three Enome Bases of the Virus become the same as those of the Assimilated Strain (Enome[4] - Enome[6]). The same Strain that forced the Virus to Pollute must enforce this paragraph’s action.
[We may want to add a clause which make events triggered by Consumption also get triggered by Assimilation. I couldn't word it right.]
