 Civilization in this part of the galaxy is millions of years old.  Prior to about four million years ago, these civilizations all interacted with each other in networks of 2 and 3 space commerce and communication.  Their science was minimally TI 11, and probably plumbed the depths of capabilities unimaginable.  The "snowballs" are an example of their handiwork.
-However, four million years ago a super-intelligence developed in this sector that was, to put it mildly, insane.  Its motives were ultimately inscrutable, its not clear it even has motives, but its goal seemed to be the utter enslavement of all intelligence to its whim.  It sought to replicate its thanogram across all the universe, even within the psyche of biological creatures.
+However, four million years ago a distributed Stage III gestalt meme complex of incredible sophistication developed in this sector.  This complex is NOT intelligent, at least by the complicated definitions of Commonality engineers.  It is, despite its complexity, little more than a bundle of connected urges and idea.  However, the urges and ideas bundled together lead to the utter enslavement of all intelligence.   This complex of ideas, thoughts, ethics, morals, etc. interlocks in endless fractal detail, all pointed to the purpose of replicating itself.
-For this purpose, it created what is likely the most sophisticated and powerful meme complex in the history of the galaxy.  This complex of ideas, thoughts, ethics, morals, etc. interlocks in endless detail, all pointed to the purpose of forwarding the superiority of that ancient super-intelligence.
+For 500,000 years, warfare of existential variety raged throughout this part of the galaxy, leaving the ancient civilizations in tatters.  But there was success, the meme complex driven back literally at the cost of eradicating civilization in the subsector.
 In the end, this meme complex, which is often called "The Smoking Mirror" by those in its thrall, had no existence other than a single datastore on (α:51:4).

-The hunt for this bioship should be a big deal.  I need to plot out its course, and note which if any mindscapes it might have synchronized with on the way.  Not sure where it is yet.  Its first destination after leaving the Geode was (ζ:17:-1).  It left there headed for (ζ:42:-4), by way of (ζ:56:-1) and (ζ:55:-1).  They then travelled to Avkoalai (ζ:61:2)  on the way to the eruptive binary at (ζ:90:2).  From there, they passed on to (θ:00:3).  That system has a lot of exointelligence.  Did they continue on, or is that where they stopped.  Did they cause trouble there, as the imbalance worsened?

-The "local" (meaning in this subsector) branch of Morbius Metals has become a slave to predatory psuedo-Predecessor meme complex.  What does this look like?  What is the meme complex trying to achieve?  I thinking that a deep space probe of theirs triggered some kind of memetic "prison" and freed the concept.  It can literally hack people's brains even if they are not Mindscape connected if it has an opportunity to study their sensory biology, rewiring them through sense contacts.
