What?
Marketing Expert Harvey Soot has changed his title to Chief Mechanist, a new generation of merchants have been... manufactured? According to the reports Harvey Soot has decided to immortalize everyone who was willing with machinery...
“From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…” -Harvey Soot.
Harvey Soot has overseen productions of what he is calling Tech-Merchants, Tech-Merchants are much stronger, tougher, immortal, and overall better Merchants... They do not generally require sleep but rather require recharging... they're cyborgs, they cannot stay in water for very long however.
