I don't know if my idea about the biologicals made sense, but I think maybe a sufficiently advanced AI with free will might decide to do things its creators hadn't intended, like ignoring its purpose, ignoring its creators, turning itself into a Space Whale and absorbing the Aldrin Cyclers into itself, etc.
AIs operating as independent entities with free will are an everyday occurrence in Terragen civilization. So what you describe is certainly possible.
