My schizo theory from ages ago based on nothing, but has only grown more true with each bit of passing lore
>Super Earth discovers terminids have e710
>e710 is vital to interstellar travel
>Super Earth genetically modifies bugs to produce more e710
>Super Earth, being Super Earth, applies this practice to its citizens
>bots find out about it, begin bioprocessing super earthers
>squids find out about it, begin harvesting super earthers
>coincidentally, dark energy values raised whenever squids were harvesting super earth citizens
>gloom expedition just revealed e710, when highly condensed, becomes e711, which can be processed into dark fluid
>the squids were harvesting super earthers to produce dark fluid, because super earthers contain e710
