There's a few Synthetics around, but still not many. Subliminal software. And apparently some kind of 'whoops, extended unconsciousness' thing cropped up with a handful of Diabolin, so there's some of them here too. How long that's been happening, people argue about, so probably 'years and years as of three months ago, when everything was timey-wimey.'
The Conductors are also new. Current theory is it's the Starmovers making another attempt at saying hi without wrecking the landscape, but that's still just a theory. I'm not sure if even they know what changed.
The SOS we got was courtesy of the local conspiracy nut - now that we have presences here, I think that's Gil - chucking a Conductor's weapon through the time gate that stayed open after last jaunt. What it is he wants help with is anybody's guess, and I don't know if he wanted the Travelers specifically, or just 'whoever might be listening.'
