The Watcher Androids are a race of artificial beings created by The Extra-Galactic Civilization and tasked with monitoring the development of their assigned star system. Their primary task is to find life elsewhere in the universe, though they also observe for scientific curiosity as well. Billions of them were sent 8 billion years ago to the Milky Way and they are able to reproduce as needed whenever new stars are formed. Watchers each have their own starship and their own Service Bots, which often take the form of animals and celestial bodies. When they lost contact with their builder civilization, most of them went dormant. The watcher android of the Solar System, Andi-roid, was revived by a human, and now sets out to the stars to find and revive her kin.
ChatGPT's Notes[]
On arriving from their home galaxy via gravitational lens assist:
“She arrived when the sky opened—when light itself curved to let the androids in. The Extraterrestrials called it the Crossing. No one knows how it worked, only that they waited for the perfect ripple, and then they came. All of them. Only once.”
More on the topic:
They crossed the dark ocean when the sky curved just right. The lens flared open, and the android ships fell through, one after another—silent, perfect, never to be repeated.
No more came after them. They are the Watchers now. The last ripples of a vanished tide.
More on the topic (note it's a little confused, the androids didn't sleep until much later when contact was lost with their builders):
They were never meant to make the journey alone. Their ships could coast for eons, thread galaxies, pierce stellar halos—but the void between galaxies was another matter. When the lens opened, they launched all they could. Some missed. Some fell into stars. But thousands arrived. Silent. Waiting. They drifted into orbit, landed on bare rocks, dove into oceans of gas, and went to sleep. It would be a long time before anything woke them again.
