As we know from earlier posts, Babylon uses organic technology—living machines, ships, weapons, bullets, all of it. This advanced tech is created and controlled by the bio-mages, former slaves of the Den’Shar who rose to power as their former masters’ grip weakened over time.
It’s rumoured that some of the bio-mages’ creations are actually spies, loyal to their creators for their entire existence, sending information back to the bio-mages. Some ships are thought to send location and cargo details, some weapons send enemy locations, and some bullets send target details before they strike.
Imagine cruising through Babylon’s dunes only to realise your ride might have eyes—and not just for navigation! Organic tech takes ‘living’ machines to another level here; ships aren’t just vessels but potential spies for the elusive bio-mages. These former slaves turned puppeteers craft weapons that do more than blast; they’re ears on the ground sending intel back home.
But here’s where it gets spicy: some reckon these sentient ships are snitching on their pilots, feeding cargo info straight to those crafty mages who stay shrouded in mystery.
And then humans arrived without any organic tech—maybe that’s why they weren’t such easy targets? No sneaky spyware in their tech! Makes you wonder if steel and circuits are safer than flesh and blood when it comes to keeping secrets from prying eyes…
