Neo-Technologist

The Neo-Technologists were a faction on ancient Gallifrey led by Rassilon. They favoured science and reason over magic and superstition, and opposed the Pythia's reign. They gained in popularity after the Pythia withdrew from public life when she lost her ability to foresee the future. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible) Omega's unreliable memories showed that, in order for Rassilon to secure political power, supporters of Omega and him took part in a revolution, during which the Capitol and the Academy were lit ablaze, while those who disagreed with the two scientists were arrested by the Inquisitors. Horrified, Omega asked Rassilon to stop the bloodshed, but Rassilon ignored his friend. (AUDIO: Omega)
