File No. 081 Proliferation of Probes 探査機の繁殖
A theory that Professor Yuki Takamiya of 2188 advocated and implemented for Project Ark. The probes carry DNA payloads to keep the human race alive, and they self-replicate and repair using the natural resources mined from asteroids in their path through deep space. They continually build up and break down, even through any unforseen accidents. As long as they proliferate themselves like living organisms, they'll eventually arrive at their destination.
