Biomega(prequel to Blame) is indeed the answer to Prometheus and ironically does what Ridley I shit my pants Scott wanted to do with Covenant but actually good.
In the world of Blame humans have bioengineered AI & giant robots to automatically build apartment buildings for everyone.
Only humans with the Net Terminal Gene can access the Netsphere which commands the robots.
Sadly after some mishaps with some eccentric rich asshole hackers who kept hacking the goddamn system and causing problems for everyone
...the creators implemented The Safeguard, synthetic guards to protect the netsphere and the physical world.
Unfortunately some silicon life bastards, most likely the same hackers which went from human to silicon life... have bioengineered a Corona-tier plague to spread to humans which made The Safeguard detect all humans including those with the net terminal gene as viruses and unwelcome to the structure so they kill almost all humans. Very few remain in the megastructure.
The Safeguards do not detect the silicon life as a virus [for reasons]
Without the humans to control the builders the giant builder robots just keep on building ad infinitum and even creating these giant tendrils that reach satellites like the moon and other planets including Jupiter in order to keep building out into space. There is no land in Blame! The main character reads a very old journal and asks "What is "land?" "
And so the robots keep buildin Dyson spheres on top of dyson spheres far escaping the planet.
The silicon life have the ability to coccoon humans and mutate them turning them into mutants that are still human but gain silicon life characteristics.
The silicon life and safeguards are based on levels with the highest one already looking like demonic angels.
This is honestly how aliens most likely came to be.
