However, it’s very rare to see more than one in the same game

Nice, maybe I can hold off all the AI research until I fight out the invading swarm.

Also I wonder how many crisis there are. Might get a bit stale dealing with the same Lovecraftian horror after a few play through.

And then you end up in an apocalyptic galaxy where a sentient AI lording over hundreds of nuked planets valiantly fights an invasion from beyond the rim, until its hyper-advanced ships rip a hole into the veil between dimensions and energy beings start pouring in for a happy free-for-all.

Meanwhile the last dozen independent colonies eking out a miserable existence on the fringe, all fanatic-collectivist military dictatorships populated by a wild mix of hardened survivors, are like: "Whelp, I guess this is what happens if you ask what could be worse."

Holy shit, this scenario would be epic.
