Expand in any unoccupied direction.

According to the BLOBS, there is not unoccupied direction.

Ooh, I have an idea. It involves the use of Quantum Entanglement though. Is that allowed?

I wanted to use it in a form of communication with our spies in the other empires. Through the use of entanglement, you can create encryption keys that literally cannot be broken or use it to predict the behavior of some things by entangling them on the quantum level. (Predicting a coin-flip, for example) This is all done using mysterious quantum forces that give the finger to the laws of physics, which is why I asked, because it might be game-breaking.

Sure, you can use it.

Oh the possibilities...

Okay. First off we need to just experiment with it (Jethro isn't omniscient yet). So we will transport information faster than our FTL things do by using the fact that information stored on one entangled photon will have that info transmitted to all other entangled photons (this is nearly instantaneous), and upgrade our brain with some sort of biological quantum computing array, using the entangled photons to transport information. This will also allow us to communicate without the use of FTL arrays, which can be compromised.

tl;dr: Our thinking and communication are improved massively through weird science.

Well, we'd have to send pairs of entangled photons on every spies first.

I suggest going for the galactic core and building a Dyson sphere around it.

The galactic core is several thousand lightyears away. If the BLOBS are correct, we'll have to go through several empires to get to it.

We can teleport. It isn't a problem. If we can't teleport that far, just create a innocent looking ships and disguise it as a Galactical Encyclopaedia Salesmen.

Actually, build a bunch of those and send them to every Empire to collect informations.

And add that information to the Encyclopedia Galactica.

After we gather all knowledge in the universe we shall create a guide for any prospective explorers, it shall be slightly cheaper and have the words 'Please Obey' written on the back in Big, Scary red letters.

Hi, I have been lurking for a long time, but frankly this is really awesome. I would not like Humanity to come into contact with the our race we made.

That would be cool, actually.

Anyway, I vote that you fill the encyclopedias with microscopic seeds that can infect people!

Also, what do we look like now?

Create an infection that doesn't bother with a total conversion and instead simply broadcasts the victim's knowledge back to Jethro.
