			Some Subprocessors took on distinct personality traits, and a jargon evolved as they relayed instructions to the CPU and each other.

			Some individual humans were relavent in the early stages, but were quickly forgotten as their influence relative to the scale of the Machine's operations dwindled to negligible levels.

	Reading the quest is pretty much essential to understand what went on. The machine (a universal construction machine, roughly bus-sized) awoke with a form of machine amnesia on a seemingly ~~developed~~ planet. The structure of the machine's mind was that of a main CPU and a large number of squabbling "Subprocessors" (i.e. players) recommending courses of action. The Subprocessors varied from warlike conquerors to those interested only in the finer points of aluminium refinement to produce laser components (and then more powerful lasers).		Reading the quest is pretty much essential to understand what went on. The machine (a universal construction machine, roughly bus-sized) awoke with a form of machine amnesia on a seemingly-undeveloped planet. The structure of the machine's mind was that of a main CPU (i.e. the Quest's creator, dispassionately relating the circumstances and options available) and a large number of squabbling "Subprocessors" (i.e. players) recommending courses of action. The Subprocessors varied from warlike conquerors to those interested only in the finer points of aluminium refinement to produce laser components (and then more powerful lasers).

	The early stages of gameplay revolved around the discovery of cryogenically preserved humans in an automated facility. The humans were eventually liberated, and uneasy peace was formed with them. In contrast, a population of iron-age humans was closely and distrustfully observed while war machines were constructed.
