From that poem, it sounds like the sleeping ones are a kind of last-ditch superweapon. When all else fails, unleash purified, concentrated rage, hate, and pain upon the universe. Literally waking a nightmare on a universal scale. Maybe not superweapon, but more of a final stage MAD. My mind instantly went to Official I Have Selective Hearing I’m Sorry You Were Not Selected Shirt something like HALO. The psychic hate-wave could be damaging to anything with sentience (or susceptibility to such things) and leave critters alone outside of a certain radius. From the description, I don’t think the sleeping ones would leave anything behind. Which would explain why Legion just about shat himself when he heard the sleeping ones singing broodmother songs and thought ConFed had been messing with them. So the universe is a thinking creature, and it can create things. The level of control is unknown, both before and after the creation. “Control” of its creations is getting a little esoteric for my level of sobriety at the moment, so I’m going to leave it alone, and just go with: Direct control of its creations, within our ability to comprehend, is non-existent. So yay free will and all that. This means that it is entirely possible for things within the universe to act in ways that it does not want or like. If enough things (or one thing enough times) do stuff that the universe doesn’t like, it could piss it off. At which point it could make something (or some species) that is perfectly designed to deal with the stuff it doesn’t like, so things go back to making itself happy.
