>>5201522I'm okay with calling them demons too, I also wasn't sure if we aren't already calling them that. I mean, when the AM says "corrupted machine spirit" and when they use incense and holy oils to repel them they surely mean it.
I just think we should also posit ways that the faithful can use to repel the demonic threat, and that blending Science and Faith is the best way to go about it. There are actual Techsorcists who specialized in expelling warp infestation from machine spirits.

We can emulate ritual in this case, after all:
"To break with ritual is to break with faith."
