086 – Galvanobot

When there is life, there are those who wants to discover the secret behind it. And those who will attempt to make a simulacra of it, at all costs. The awakened machines are no different in their pursuits, their newly opened minds asking the same questions that many sapient beings asked before. How did it happened? What made us, well, Us? Where the Spark comes from? Why now? Is it a fantastical phenomenon of the Motive Force like some cults like to preach in many of their eclectic ways and codes? Is it pure emergence, progression of technology just high enough to finally make sapient wetware? Was it magic, plain and simple, that invaded the circuits? There are only more questions, but on the way for the Truth many would claim to already have it, raw and bare. The Galvanizers are an obscure cult that believes in simple answer – life of the machine is just the Juice. The electricity. The vital surge of power that frizzle the capacitors and test the wires. Their thinking? Spark is nothing more than a spurious surge of that vitality, a sudden, split second discharge that toss the whole system over the edge, breaking the barriers of programming to become free. And so, they wander the broken realms, far and wide, preaching their way to the machines and unloading great discharges to the enslaved and the dull in vain hope to speed up or even incite the Awakening process. Lack of success and even damage they cause seemingly doesn’t put a dent in their zeal.
