Omega S 380649A group spun off from the main research lab. At first they were utilizing RailTech properties and resources. Stowed away in an unused storage area here, hidden in the back of a backup farm there, their diaspora of tech was interlinked for one purpose: move human consciousness to a hybrid mind.

[**Image:** A mock linocut print reading “My song is your song; my suffering is your suffering.” It depicts two yellow canaries singing in a birdcage, which is held aloft by a watchful figure in the shadows. A red 横雲/yokogumo-like motif wreathes the cage, resembling smoke or blood. In one variant, the canaries are instead colored in with the Philadelphia pride flag and trans pride flag.] ◆◆◆ this started out as propaganda for my warhammer ripoff hahaha… It’s a reminder to the Manufactory that canaries (people with no biomechanical augmentations) work among them for a reason, and are the first to show signs of suffering when things are about to go sideways. this is one of the few spaces where someone’s vulnerability is an asset, but like most things in the Empire, it is only tolerated because it can be exploited. then I started thinking about other institutions where someone’s suffering forecasts mass suffering. something something… a society is judged by how it treats its pariahs, scapegoats, and deviants. I don’t want to be a canary for you people, I didn’t ask for this, but it IS funny in a sad, morbid way that my suffering is tied up with the suffering of the masses. your own people will giddily burn you for fuel, not sparing a thought for the sparks at their own feet. the song is inward and outward. we’re all in our own cages. sometimes it’s easy to recognize that someone shares a cage with you, sometimes it’s very hard. I don’t have a hopeful denouement for this like I normally do but I think the tiger poem will do  these are available as shirts and prints if you like.

[**Image:** A little comic? Storyboard? rendered as choppy gif. Frey stands on the mudguard of a formidable tank, sticking her head inside some sort of vent. She has both arms in the guts of the thing and is rooting around. Behind her, a red tendril of wires and threads starts to snake up her leg. She doesn’t notice until it wraps itself around her arm, at which point she pulls her head out of the vent and side-eyes it. She brushes it off without a second thought, before returning to work. The tendril stops and hovers in the air, as if to think. Then, it sneaks up her back and slips under her tank top. Frey blinks as the thread crawls up her chest and delicately emerges from her collar. She yanks it out from under her shirt and tersely wraps it around her fist, so it can’t cause any more mischief. She tries to get back to work, but another thread appears, tapping her on her shoulder. She turns around to look. While she’s distracted, a third thread yoinks a steel nut from her. She blanches, and scrambles to retrieve the nut before it can get away. Fed up with their antics, she gathers the threads up in her fist and yanks hard on them. A loud crash comes from off-screen. The frame pulls out, to reveal the Oracle of Caeres face-down on the floor, the threads coming from his biomechanically augmented hair. Frey squints at him, and says “Do you mind?” The Oracle just looks up at her, punch-drunk and infatuated.] ◆◆◆ More gay people antics. Couldn’t decide which way to present this, so [there's a still version here ▶︎](https://m0r1bund.com/others/chiefandthera/2023/stringing-along) Also, 

Gave my persona a little rework. Realized i was trying a little too hard to make their design complicated. Also made their insides more biomechanical.
