Description
Contrary to popular belief, Xenogenesis is not always a clean process.Time, you see, like everything else in existence, works according to the Rule of Economics - it takes the path of least resistance and least energy expenditure to achieve equilibrium. In the case of Xenogenesis, some people from other timelines may slip through into the Xenoth-embraced timeline. We call them the Aggregate.
Imagine the horror! You sleep next to your spouse or child and wake up to see something wholly alien and utterly shocking as the Xenoth in bed with you. To confound the issue even more, modes of communication could be different - the Xenothian may begin to chew on your arm to say good morning.
Luckily, Xenothians have an extensive rehabilitation program to cope with this disbelonging. Eventually, most individuals accept what has happened to them and take the Embrace. The rest live only in our loving memories - eternally so.

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.
