- ?????: Darwinbots are discovered in the Oort cloud by the frog provolves, having eluded detection by previously being mistaken them for asteroids. Some are taken to Many-Isles for study, others are destroyed. Some become hostile as a result.
- ????? - ?????: Various frog provolve nations fight off various waves of hostile Darwinbots, having seemingly modified themselves quickly to act as "kamikaze-berserkers." Many intentionally destroy as many craft as possible before intentionally crashing into a body as a rudimentary kinetic weapon. This is one of the few times that actual hostility has been observed from Darwinbots, and it may relate to the overexploitation of them, and a basic response to survive.
- ?????: The first space-fairing biomechanical is bred. With heavily hardened armor, no external organic bits, biological immortality, increased expression of oncogenes, and the ability to retain oxygen and other vital nutrients for an extremely long time before needing to replenish, it is sent into orbit around Many-Isles, to act as a guard for the world. Unlike many biomechanicals, it is incapable of replication.
- ?????: The Darwinbot swarms are fended off by the space-fairing biomechanical, given the name "Savior" in various frog provolve language's tongues. The space-fairing biomechanical effectively... ate them all, and recycled their matter into itself, even breaking down various compounds to supply even organic bits.
- ?????: Savior seems to be showing human-level intelligence. There are some ideas of shooting it down from orbit, since the task it was created for is over. This is the first biomechanical to be a known sophont. It seems to be attempting to communicate with the various Darwinbots in the Oort cloud, at least, those that remain. Decoded signals seem to show a syntax equivalent with a language.
- ??????: Savior seems to head towards the Oort cloud, shortly before an attempt at taking it out is agreed on.
- ?????? - ??????: Savior is spotted by various colonies in the Bufo system, and all resources from many observatories are to focus on it's movement, to figure out what it is doing. It was also spotted stripping some resources out of asteroids and comets to better itself, as well as keep organic tissue alive.
- ??????: Savior arrives in the Oort cloud.
- ?????? - ??????: Savior appears to be mimicking signals sent by this particular kingdom of Darwinbots, only to ambush anything that comes near and adds it to it's mass. It's improving itself.
- ??????: Several smaller craft emerge from Savior. It has reproduced, despite it previously thought to be neutered.
- ?????? - ??????: Savior and it's children leave the system entirely, looking for more hunting grounds. One outside Terragen clade claims it has decoded the emissions of it. It claims that Savior's intelligence is still growing, and is on par with a small child, but seems to be annoyed to have been used as a weapon for another nation's war, and thus, left. The children, meanwhile, are not yet capable of anything remotely resembling language, and instead, babble random numbers. The children also have some differences from their parents, such as harder bodies, and eat anything that may contain raw material to fuel growth, including supplies of materials to help keep organic bits alive. Savior seems to herd them from anything potentially dangerous, indicating rudimentary parental care. It is unclear how long these will take to grow to maturity, but for now, they are not considered a threat, and so are just being watched.
- ?????? - ??????: Savior arrives in HD 189733, and is noticed by the Terragen clade of humans currently present. An attempt is made to hijack the intelligence of it and it's children, to use for their own ends, since true domestication is likely impossible. Instead, Savior grows hostile and launches attacks on the orbital ring of HD 189733 b. Savior and their children quickly eat the remains, both organic and inorganic. One colony survives and sends out a distress signal, detailing what happened. While they brought this upon themselves, it is clear this thing is somewhat like a feral biowar, and destruction of it should happen as soon as possible.
- ?????? - ??????: Savior's children seem to reach a maturity phase equivalent to puberty, but they are still following their parent around. Savior seems to be heading back towards Bufo, along with it's children, but a group of automated drones have been sent to follow it, from several systems, ranging from a few human-dominated ones near Bufo, towards several that are near Sol, and a few near HD 189733, along with a few probes of their to possibly neutralize it should it attempt an attack on another civilization. Meanwhile, HD 189733 b has had their orbital ring repaired.
- ??????: Savior is intercepted by several of the probes, which manage to disable it, though the children instantly flee and one drone is lost to them. Based on some calculations, the children are headed in random directions.
- ??????: Savior's derelict is brought to Bufo, for future study. The children are to be found as soon as possible, and due to the tech level of the frog provolves at this point, discover how Savior was able to send signals. A drone is sent towards the Oort cloud of Bufo that mimics signals sent by those of Savior.
- ??????: One of Savior's three children fall for this, and is immediately intercepted and neutralized. Once again, it is brought to Many-Isles, and is studied in further detail. The child in question was clearly still growing when it died, but had massive evidence of rewrite and anatomical change, with even harder materials used in the hull, a stomach-like organ with the half-digested remains of a small comet, and the start of a reproductive tract capable of live birth, with egg-like cells that are a composite of mechanical and organic. It seems to also be a hermaphrodite, and does not require a mate to reproduce. In addition, the child is much, much larger than the parent.
