Don't get me started on Blue Sunlight.

They fetishise the shape: they believe it will lead them to God or something.  If they actually knew anything about the shape they'd be aware that it's about as exciting as a tax return.

That shape projector of theirs?  It's just a broken shape portal, like the one they have in Brightling.

Just connects their followers on a fuller bandwidth than meatwads can usually handle.  Too much information, you see.

Humans always want to make things more complicated than they actually are.

I wouldn't worry about all those whinging meatwads that died: it's not like they can't be replaced.

The one thing they're good at is making more meatwads.

Shapeforms don't really care about death: doesn't really happen to us much and, if it does, you tend to get refactored into something better.

I never understand all this crying and grief and whatnot: doesn't seem to produce much.

Apparently, grief is supposed to be a deterrent for meatwads from doing anything too stupid.

Doesn't seem to work, in my opinion.
