new Stellaris update means I'm back on my bullshit Organic species dying out from disease undergoing a full synthetic conversion in 6 years is a little faster than I expected, but we stay silly/alive on Terq of the Sel system.

A cure eluded our brightest minds, and panic grew as the population aged and dwindled.\n\nIn desperation, we expanded our digital storage, creating enough 'space' to preserve our identities.
