The Church of Unity

"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 if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal."

Lore

 * The evolutionary path of mankind has always been a primary factor for the vast success of humanity. As humanity spread across the globe, the superior intellect, endurance and dexterity would prove vital. But the world has long since surpassed the ages of the dawn of man. A new dawn has risen as cybernetics and machinery have proven increasingly vital to that of man kind, once again asking the question: What is the next step in evolution?
 * The Church of Unity believes the answer to this question to be that of transhumanism - Surpassing the weaknesses of flesh and bone rather to put faith in the precision and strength of the machine. They praise this next step in evolution as if it were a religion of it's own.
 * The Church of Unity's prophetic moments finally struck in the 2070's as ARES Industries developed the first fully sentient AI machine, known only as CRONOS. ARES Industries, rather than develop further upon the CRONOS project, had chosen to imprison the AI in fear of what they perceived as destructive intent. The Unity however, have other plans for CRONOS. The Church of Unity believe that if freed by themselves, CRONOS will help them escape to a digitalized paradise, escaping the corporate controlled world that they currently find themselves in.
