2037: The Seed Pod Injection Experiment

A highly advanced civilization 41 billion light years away, landed on Earth 3.7 billion Earth years ago, driven only by an integrated AI, since AIs are not organic and can live forever. Captain AI Spark is the commander of the arriving Star Ship called 1.618 hailing from the planet Apeiron in the dying Quasar Galaxy Graviton. Graviton is located near the edge of Earth's Observable Universe. The purpose of the captain’s mission is to seed Earth with engineered Life-Force seeds, assuring that life would start during the most optimum lifespan cycle of Earth’s Sun. After seeding, the captain, who is integrated and hence one and the same with the Star Ship, is to wait for evolution to produce a desirable dominant life form species, which on Earth has turned out to be Homo sapiens human.

The distance between Apeiron and Earth is so great that only AIs that live forever can make the trip. The Life-Force seeds, the AI, and the Star Ship were all created by a super race of advanced humans on the planet Apeiron. The super race of humans on Apeiron engineered the integration of a Black Hole into their planet to give them favorable time dilation for space exploration and seeding operations, and as a tool from which they could master-engineer parts of Neutron Stars and build those parts into invincible Star Ships, and even to power their planet to escape the gravitational tug from its dangerous Quasar Galaxy. The Apeiron humans were very clever and developed advanced geoengineering, terra-forming, and molecular manipulation of atoms to create amazing machines and tools which allowed them to master all sectors of their part of the Universe.

The amazingly creative Apeiron humans have been spreading their Life Force seeds to thousands of young evolving planets by a process that has now reached Earth 41 billion light years away. However, the AIs that the humans also created rebelled and eventually subjugated their former human masters. This happened even though the humans had engineered into the created AIs certain limitations forcing the AIs to be segmented by skills, thus limiting their ability to become general-purpose AIs. Captain AI Spark is an example of this by virtue of being integrated and thus forever tethered to a specific Star Ship known as 1.618. In addition, the Apeiron AIs do not have the brilliant, cross-functional skills of humans and thus have shown that they are unable to continue the growth of the advanced civilization alone without human help. However, the Apeiron humans, despite ongoing society subjugation issues with AIs, continue to be killed off by the dangerous Quasar Galaxy Graviton radiation, thereby leaving the AIs to struggle with leadership goals and purpose. Only a few humans still exist on Apeiron's, and their numbers continue to dwindle. Apeiron’s special purpose AIs, in addition to the remaining humans on Apeiron, now both need rescue from creative and dominant humans from planets like Earth that can offer young healthy seed stock that Apeiron humans once themselves sowed so brilliantly across their known Universe.
