You knew you could only achieve greatness with help. People were too unreliable, so you chose to take on mechanoids as your servants, workers, and warriors. As you gained strength, others became fearful. It became clear you needed to get away from the influence of humanity... but the expedition team that cornered you before you could find a ship heading out of system offered you a deal too good to refuse. If only you had known that the voyage was cursed from the start - that flash of light obliterated the ship before anyone knew what was happening.
This scenario is a complete combination of 'The Mechanitor' and 'The Anomaly', pooling both the resources and the conditions of the two vanilla scenarios (INCLUDING the chance of fleshmass body parts, which are not selectable as health conditions in the scenario editor. Same deal with scattered ship chunks).
