I played for more than 270 ingame years when the "Machine Conciousness" appered. I believe it is the AI late game crisis. Before they appeared an empire called "AI" contacted me and said in a robotic way that I should expect to die. After many ingame years they were no longer in my contact list and the empire "Machine Conciousness" appeared among my rivals. But since then I could click on their symbol and nothing happens. They aren't in the contact list and clicking on them doesn't do anything. Even when they colonized an uninhabited planet in my empire, which I thought was not possible since I didn't build a single robot, I couldn't contact them either..

Edit: I looked closer and realised that the planet formerly belonged to an enemy empire. But the problem that I can't spek to them still stands. Or is that intended?
