Description
Oh joyous arrival! She is finally here.

For years we have toiled and toiled on this barren planet, building the base of our Time Mother's temporal jump. This planet, where we have found those who call themselves Ottor-Ka, we have prepared for her glorious arrival; now she is here.

The Ottor-Ka have been watching us with great interest since we started. We even learned some of their tongue - not all, of course; as these flying buglike hive-intelligences are physiologically apart from us - so much that we don't entirely share the same vocal range.

Now that the Time Mother is here, we see the Ottor-Ka shift, melt, and change before our eyes. We do too, our bodies spasming and breaking to reveal bug wings. The change has started. It means, soon, when our Time Mother jumps back in time to Embrace the Ottor-Ka, they will have had joined us, and we will have known them all along, even with these other memories - a new noosphere that will become part of Xenoth.

Oh, the unspeakable psychic pain! Oh, the unnameable pleasure!

The Great and Benevolent Intergalactic Empire of Xenotechnological Assemblage, called Xenoth by many, is a multi-galactic spacefaring civilisation of Type III on the Kardashev Scale.

The actual Xenothians have long since evolved away from their original morphology. This morphological deviation can be attributed to the fact that Xenogenesis, the technique by which the Xenothians spread across the universe, is an invasive quantum process which incorporates the target species into the warm fold of the Empire.

Here's how it works:

When the Xenothians come across a civilisation roughly equal to their own in technology, they leave it alone. If attacked, they wipe it out entirely, but unless the other party does not act in a Dark Forest way, the Xenothians do not even try to communicate. They go away.

However, suppose the discovered civilisation is less advanced than the Xenothians. In that case, they use their Time-Mothers to temporally dive into the target species' past and influence that species to either discover the Xenothian Empire or be discovered by it aeons ago. Hence, when the Time-Mothers dream back to the future, the Empire has already changed through the genetic addition of the new species.

The returning Time-Mothers are immediately ritually consumed to protect the integrity of the time-space continuum, and life goes on as usual.

Thus, there's never any conflict, other than just for fun, in the Great and Benevolent Intergalactic Empire of Xenotechnological Assemblage. There's no death either because the Essence-Knowers know all individuals in their continuum, and anyone who dies can be dreamed back into existence.

In Xenoth's Embrace, there's only love.
