    If you think about, are our pets bio-trophies? We create special living conditions for them. They get regular pampering. They seem to be very happy with the arrangement. Maybe we're all really Rogue Servitors... Sorry, I got distracted there. You can check out The Machine Age for yourself over here - play.stellaris.com/ManyaTrueNerd

    It would be an interesting "victory" condition to willingly join her and seek to have your own sense of self removed. Sort of like a final evolution, no longer to the concerns of life trouble us for we have become one with the queen. Maybe you would have to be one very specific type of people, hive mind maybe, and have a certain ascension perk, and have made certain decisions in your interactions with her. It could be that you have to be the last one standing and finally when all the galaxy is quiet you can offer yourself to the queen. Perhaps she can ask you to be the one to secure the galaxy effectively turning you into the endgame crisis.

    I love the idea of alien robots that just want to pamper people. I'm just imagining the conversation they have with people bought from the slave market. They try to make their new residents comfortable, but refuse to take them home because their original home is both worse and has a history of losing people to slavers.
    Unfortunately, their indiscriminate purchase of slaves helps the slavers stay in business. Weak and infirm slaves that would ordinarily be disposed of or ignored are taken specifically to sell to the helperbots in bulk.

    Doing a Synthetic Fertility run, gave them Memorialists and Genesis Guides, (because they might be dying but they went looking for ALL the solutions). they got a little crazy as their population declined, and went looking for solutions in genetics, in historical recording for posterity, and in digital technology. also they're cats, and their digitized robot forms are boxes. because lol.
    We got a ruined ringworld next door which gave us cryonic clones, who helped reinforce our robots while we were researching digitization, which was nuts. Even on Ensign, i don't think it was supposed to be that easy to work around our declining population.

    Hail to Zarqulan!
    Also the way I understood it she is doing the Matrix but instead of sending you into VR she's like noise-cancelling your consciousness, so you're there and you're you but it's like the mute button pressed. Either that or she switches consciousness so you're in a dream world and she remotes your body. Pretty wild stuff that shows again how good those lads at Paradox are at writing this stuff.

I hope the game lets you do that, because RP'ing as that sort of empire, that's exactly what they'd do.

      It is galadriel from the original LOTR movies after frodo asks her to take the ring from him, and she has the moment that left me terrified of her when I was young because I didn't quite catch/understand what had been said just prior to this scene of her screaming and sounding demonic. but it is essentially her showing that even as fair, beautiful, wise, and powerful. Like Gandalf, except she shows frodo a glimpse of the fate she fears of the dark inkling in her heart. that if she took the ring it would corrupt her, and lose herself in the lust for power that the ring seems to bring out in all races except Hobbits to an extent.

    It's absolutely impossible to wait for the absolutely impossible Stellaris run!
