Editing The Machine (section)

===Rival Explorers===
I think half the danger will come from rival groups of explorers. 

I mean, you'll have radical anti-machinists, quite possibly extremist Christians and the like, who view the Machine quite possibly as the personification of Hell itself. An utterly soulless world without any of the life or personality of humanity. They probably want to stop all exploration, maybe going so far as to attack the Machine in Crusade.

There'll be people who want to exploit the Machine, to use it to power god knows what, without concern for what consequences their meddling may have. Doubtless, these will be from the sinister GLOBOCORP.

Then of course there will just be rival adventurers who will stop at nothing to be the first to explore the depths of the Machine.
