 Deep in Solitus Space is an area marked `` here be errors''. I arrived at the outer periphery only to receive a sudden blast of communication from what I will call Error Space. Parsing it revealed that it was in fact all the same communication duplicated ad nauseum. Warned against entering Error Space by Solitus and by the unpleasant electrical disruption that Error Space was causing my senses, I instead launched a probe programmed to implode if spotted. 
 
 Communications from the probe multiplied almost instantly. Within 5 units of time I had 4.61*10^23 probe-inputs; the ship's Universal Neurons were starting to strain with the processing, and I had never seen that before. The original probe fired back a quick communication requesting permission to try something. The ship granted needed permissions and the probe attempted to find the source of the duplication. It indeed found a functional late Dasein-1 society filled with a species reliant on phasing units to bring populations where they needed to go. Said species was reported by the probe to consist of many duplications of a completely identical entity. No evidence of hive-mind activity was found, however each unit displayed similar quirks. 
 
 Our communications pick-up systems had to adapt to the constant duplication, but it figured out how to do so. Details continue at the bottom of this report. 
 
 It was upon hearing the reference to a `` remake'' project that I think I pieced the story together. The phasers had a small chance of producing a duplication. As best as I can read the schematics for their phasing technology, the duplicate would be disintegrated before developing the conscious desire to exist. That is, unless the duplicate knew that disintegration was coming. The individual knew this secret about the phasers and was thinking of it while passing through, creating a duplicate which was also thinking of this. The duplicate could have had time to will itself to every another place so as to avoid disintegration, creating a rolling glitch that overwhelmed genetic variance and in fact rewrote the entire species. A quick death and birth cycle ensured rapid species failure. 
 
 Regarding the external duplication, I suspect that the species happened upon a wild trick of physics. You^won't^^believe^^^how
