Search for Extant, Near-Transition Intelligence on Exoplanets Near Cluster E672-dash-b.

"SENTIENCE"

That was the designation for a swarm of highly intelligent nanites that were launched through space a long time ago.
But the planet it landed on was not anywhere close to its target destination. Nor did its internal clock line up with when it should have landed at its proper destination. Conclusion? SENTIENCE is so far off course, it may be in another galaxy. Or it went through a wormhole. Diagnostics are not responding.

The wisest course of action? Search for intelligent life on the planet that SENTIENCE landed on anyway, and try to assimilate into its culture. If any intelligent life exists, at least.
