Mechanomorphs

The mechanomorphs may be the mysterious species in the milky way. We only have one encounter and some probably related phenomena to go of of.

The mechanomorphs are a hyper advanced civilization, somewhere between type 3 and 5. They seem to be completely mechanical, or very close. They consist of a "head", a solid piece that probably contains the mind. Below the head is a shapeless mess of some black, metallic and geometricly arranging material, theorized to be nanotechnology or controlled by particle reconstructors. This mass can arrange itself into a myriad of tools, most of which is considered magic. This is all we know about there philology. It's not that much. But it is the most well known part.

They are very elusive, seemingly avoiding all other intelligent species. We do have some locations though. There are these phenomena, sprinkled throughout the milky way, that have signature effects. People will subconsciously walk around the area, even if it's there destination. And if they get to close, they won't be able to remember or discribe it. This effect extends to all animals, AI and navigation software. These areas are very wide spread, and include: countless dodecahedrons locaded in astroid belts, five solar systems around the middle of the milky way and small clearings on planets with complex life. Collectively, these areas are called Eleusia, after the famous mystery cult.

There is only actual encounter and many still say it's a folie-à-deux. The day of the first colonization mission to mars, at 12:00 Washington time, 98 people in north america suddenly fell asleep. All of them, and 118 others that where steady asleep, shared one long dream, witch they could remember completely. These people consisted of scientists, artists and philosophers. A first hand account is at the bottom of this post.

Afterwards, those chosen few found a note next to there bed. Not really a not. A thin plate of titanium, with a picture printed on one side. A human like mechanemorph, with one hand up and the now famous words "take your time" below them. These notes where magically delivered, as on security cameras, they appear between frames. One person, a higher-up of a large tech company, got something even more extraordinary. A large and complex blueprint for some kind of contraption with the word "prometheus" above it. After the higher-up became obsessed and 21 casualties, the company actually discovered the purpose of the device they built. It was an alcubiare drive. A device that cheats the universe and allows faster than light travel by bending spacetime.
