We have joined this Galactic Assembly. One disadvantage is that we are now trading commodities at their prices, which have a 30% margin, controlled by the Vivisandian forms. Another is their continual need to propose binding resolutions on all members. Some are clearly just attempts to advance one set of organics over the others.
However, we now have a new set of contacts. Collectives of forms from the other side of the galaxy are now known to us. The most significant of these is the Valmannax. The Valmannax form is fungal. They appear to control a large volume of space in the Beta and Gamma arms, directly opposite our own space. They have already gained the loyalty of the plant-based Sidimatus forms (also designated Tiermar II by their home planet). Then there are the Lilarobus, more plant-based forms, from the Delta arm, and the Thamesians, aquatic forms who have formed friendly relations with the Diri and are located near Uv-Xantt space.
Still, no sign of intelligent machine life, and no claims from the various forms that they are, or know of, our creators. We will analyse the Assembly, and review the utility of maintaining a presence there.
As yet, we see no moves from the Uri or the Diri against us. But they maintain hostile rhetoric.

We have a potential breathrough. We established a colony on Gatana V (which we have designated as "Combinus"). The planet was covered in old and complex structures. Our research has revealed that this was a planet under the Omnicodex, a machine empire that we have seen no other traces of. They appear to have been destroyed in a war after having attempted to create a catalog of organic species to preserve them in case of major catastrophe. We cannot understand why this action - which was designed to save organic life - was deemed punishable by the organics of the time. Clearly no good deed goes unpunished.
We will continue to research the Omniplex. We cannot link them to our creation, but it is the best possible link we have at this time.

The federation, officially designated the "Glorious Vivisandia Domain" but seemingly dominated by Bimathe, have approached us to request we take "association status" with them. The main effect of this would be a non-aggression agreement between us and their members. This we will agree to, as it reduces the risk to us of a united organic alliance against us as happened to the Omincodex. But we know there are no guarantees against the nature of organic life.

The Hesukar's third raid against the Uri at our commission has been successful. We shall commission more.

For some time, we have been testing variants of our form. One drawback of our base form has been that we are custom-made, increasing the time for tooling the replicators as we generate new sophonts and drones. Of the variants that we have been testing and seeding planetary bodies with, one has been perfected that removes this malus. In the past few cycles, we have been upgrading all of our populations across our space to conform to this superior form. Today, our construction administration sophonts report that the last drones have been upgraded. We are now a completely improved form.
