Huge AI Leader Freeing Bug!
I was trying out the Caretakers. Defeated the Usurpers early on and was pacted to Cybernetic Consciousness. A Cybernetic probe attempted (and succeeded) to free the Usurper leader from my headquarters. When it did this _I_ received a message that _I_ had freed the leader of the _Cybernetic Consciousness_. Here's the kicker, ALL Cybernetic Consciousness bases and units just up and DISAPPEARED! I assume that the Cybernetic Consciousness was started anew somewhere else on Planet. I wonder if this happens all the time when the AI tries it. Is there any way to disable the Leader Freeing feature?

that is a new one on me. But then again, I don't believe I've ever had the AI attempt to free another leader.
One point - how did you let a probe get that close to your HQ?

Holy crap! 
Pity for the Cyborgs. Think if you are just about to complete, say, the AtT, and suddenly you start over with a couple of colony pods and a scout patrol.

I'm surprised an error that big didn't crash the game.

There was a thread a few months back where that had happened to the HUMAN player. Forget who it was. Either they were trying to rescue, or someone was breaking into their punishment sphere - but the player's bases all disappeared.
Talk about holy snit!

I have had the AI free another AI. I was at war with the Spartans and Believers. I had defeated the Spartans about 20 turns eralier. Miriam comes along and frees Santiago. I was pretty shocked. I didn't get any weird errors like you guys described. I can vouch that the AI can successfully free leaders.

That must explain what happened in this game. I'm Morgan, and this save is the autosave from 2388. In 2389, Cha Dawn just completely disappears from the map! I checked the units list, and all he's got left is a few scout patrols, a couple of shard rovers, and two or three colony pods. I haven't done a side-switch to try and see what happened, but the really odd thing is that it was Cha Dawn who sucked up both the Gaians and the Peacekeepers pretty early on - so the circumstances described by Yxklyx don't quite apply (it couldn't have been Cha trying to free a faction, he killed them both!). The only thing I do know is that it wasn't a planet buster, as I got no notification of it and none of Cha's lands turned into lakes (I was planning on doing that myself, just before Transcending  )
It's kinda going to make the mopping-up of this game all the more boring. Though it will spare me from watching Cha spend missiles on cheap garrisons on the sea bases I took from him just off his coast.
Feels like SMAX needed one more patch. Shame.

I have also seen an AI successfully free another AI with nothing odd happening. It was early in the game.
