Is someone doing something gross and unethical? Maybe something they perceive as for the greater good but would be seen as monstrous to most people? Maybe it has something to do with that facility on the centipeoples planet? And possibly the plague?
There was a science fiction novel many years back where the human race had become extinct and the robots had tried to restart the population using clones. The clones were raised in an artificial environment where all of the adults and most of the children were actually robots. The human children were able to identify their own group by the fact that they could bleed and suffer broken bones while the others couldn’t be injured. The children eventually escaped in an attempt to uncover the conspiracy and learned that the robots were simply trying to help them and intended for them to be repopulate the planet. Could something like that be going on?

Or is it something that’s surprisingly innocuous?
Speculation.

I have a terrible feeling that doesn’t just happen in stories.
