@ram, what were the other three parts of your democracy?
Also in a attempt to appeal to the SCIENCE!! part of you, think of this as (un)natural selection, to ensure that we don't get swamped and at the same time get the best results for the least resources.
It would be further accelerated as they start to intentionally copy certain traits in order to become the best! After all, only the original is forbidden from copying, and the copies can make copies.

Okay, enough is enough!
Tell Jeanne that she is forbidden from making any more illusion clones except during combat. Then tell the clones to all come outside, as there is only one way to solve who gets what, with our limited resources. Have them fight to the death until there are only 5 clones left, then give them whatever they ask for. A few tough copies are better than a swarm of resource draining weaker ones.

start trying to find a exit to the cavern. failing that, retrace our steps (er, flight?) back to the silverwood tree to drain a little more when it recovers.

Actually, if we have enough mass we should try splitting off a smaller blob, and start making a hive mind of corruption. after all, better to have a individual die than a whole, right?

((If you can figure out a semi-plausible way to become a hivemind, I'd probably give it to you. Just keep in mind that Corruption isn't magical.))

((I should mention that you will, eventually, be able to create minions. Assuming direct control is the tricky bit.))

The most direct route to it is to first create a very simple minded minion, aka a drone, and set it to work harvesting energy and mass from the surrounding life. The second part would be to study and partially replicate pheromones and begin upgrading our senses to detect them, along with our minion. We could create our own mix, and program our minions brain to do stuff like "stay around here" or "eat this thing" depending on the mix sprayed and on what.
As for current actions: if the humans touch us, don't eat them. If anything we should try to make our senses advanced enough to try and get a clear understanding of what the noises are and their meaning. If we can replicate them ourselves, much !fun! Will ensue.

it looks old and outdated.
Check how much gas is left. if we are running low, lets stop there.

wave to the man in the labcoat, and continue your escape.

Examine the walls closely.
Try to remember what aspect we are.
