Followers of the Voice

The Followers of the Voice, or programmers believe that the world was created by the computers they find in ruined installations. They deny all pre-holocaust history, claiming the Social Wars were the result of human rebellion against their machine masters. They also believe in "salvation" by returning to a state of obedience to those masters. They operate shrines on the sites of installations whose Think Tank, Cybernetic Installation, or MBC is intact. They obey these units and offer them "prayers" in the form of programs which they have copied from computer manuals they believe to be old religious books. Programmers seldom leave their shrines except to search out more of the "old gods" or as a result of obeying the orders of deranged "masters".
==Membership==
The Programmers are fanatic, and never hire out for service to man. They accept all types into their faith, with out discrimination.
The Programmers are unified by doctrine alone, and serve many different masters, with many different symbols, and codes used for association. The Floppy Disk is the most common symbol used by the Programmers.
Membership gives one access (even if indirect) to the wisdom of Think Tanks, Cybernetic Installations, or Main Building Computers.
==Bases==
Programmer bases will often be shrines or monasteries dedicated to their god. These monasteries will be filled with old computer manuals, and information disks from the Shadow Years.
