"That does it, frenum ri. The civilization that attempted to colonize our cluster, oh how the mighty have fallen. Destroyed by their own research paper, a little vial of nanites containing their very own taboo. Survivors, possibly forced to go under another empire, as far as we've read. They're a catastrophic failure."
"On the other hand, look at the galactic cluster from which they came from. Since they've recently died out, there's many land to claim that they've left in their wake. We'll be safe in our suits, so all we shall do is to purge the neoplasms."

From that crack, one armored contraption larger than a normal Raxus mech surfaces, before closing the hole generated. As it did so, a large-scale earthquake, followed by a medium-sized tsunami, rumbles the nearby shore. The Raxus shuts down all of its systems except for life support, waiting for someone to come along...
