I would rate my first move outside of Gallic and former Gallic space as - unique! I have run into my first Sirians besides Starfliers. I couldn't understand them, they seemed to be automatons. [HIVE]<ANTECRON> and [HIVE]<TREACON>{D}. I am unsure that they were depressed or programmed badly, as when in Omicron Beta I followed them to a strange planet guarded by a powerful minefield. They seemed to study it carefully, and then out of nowhere just ended their robot existence by flying straight into the mines, both exploding in strange unison! Were they robotic lovers wishing for a poetic end? Was that simply a malfunction in their programming? Has their existence finished its cycle? Or were they simply trying to pass the mines to get to their home planet? We might never find out.
