"Something like that. I talked to their creators, kind of, once, and they kept talking about 'cycles' and 'harvests'. From what I know, this isn't the first time this has happened. They come around every 50,000 or so years, wipe out all organic life except for neanderthal-types, and then run away to dark space.

"If I had bio samples and shit, I'd be working on it myself. But nah. Most of that's managed by our science teams. My job is more sneaking around the universe gathering intel, agents, and making key strikes. I'll be honest- I don't have a good idea of how they work. I don't know if any of us do."
There is, of course, one matter she hasn't attended to, either. "Plus, there's the matter of the mind control- indoctrination. The longer you're around them, the more you wanna do what they say. I had a guy a few years ago who was using one as his ship- rogue agent from my same faction, technically. Killed a ton of people and eventually let them totally rewire him to serve. Once it's done, you're out. Permanently. We don't have a fix, seeing as the long-term solution is looking to be 'blow them the fuck out of the sky'."
