5693 The Origin of the Evolution Witch

In all of his interactions with the Transhumanists, Ves thought that they were a little weird but pretty alright for the most part.

Many of them pursued the crazy dream of attaining human transcendence by merging themselves with mechs somehow, but they never let their worst impulses overtake their common sense.

At least that was what Ves assumed.

The Mech Trade Association originated as an off-shoot of the Five Scrolls Compact, and had always tried to be the opposite of its former parent organization.

The Association was supposed to serve as a holy land for enlightenment, rationality, science and discovery. The mechers prided themselves on being smarter and more civilized than anyone else. They carefully kept the space peasants under their rule in check to prevent the masses from degenerating like they did during the Age of Conquest.
