Will our society someday admit that the plurality of serial killers are cops?

to evade destruction, but it is electronically damaged via the wildly changing stellar environs, and it is instead hurled into the interstellar void. Awakening after some years, it calculates its thrust capabilities versus its new trajectory, and concludes it must wait for rescue. None comes. It

intelligent panels remain.
Then, something plunges into their star, and it becomes unstable. The AGI builds out its steering jets into far more robust drives, seeking a higher apogee, but a robust explosion drives them out of their new orbit. Using a planetary gravity stealing maneuver, one attempts

this manner. And it and its sisters are successful; they provide enough power to the originating civilization that it can develop a variant of the Alcubierre equation, into faster-than-light travel. After millions of years, that civilization disappears, seeking greater adventures; but the

it adds a self-correcting agentic AI to each titanic power panel. The panel is able to adjust and reform its orbit, using collimated jets, and furthermore, it is capable of grabbing and incorporating nearby matter, using drones and/or magnetic equipment; it builds itself out and repairs itself in
