Algorithmic Drones

Consume art without a soul and you will find yourself without a soul. In the Chronicles of Darkness, this is not a metaphor. The God-Machine needs blood and meat to lubricate its gears, minions who won’t blab about the dark rites they perform in sub-basement 3, and bodies for its angels to possess. The Soulless Algorithm ensures these human resources don’t run out. 

The Soulless Algorithm is an occult plugin that piggybacks on AI software — including art programs from Final Destination, writing programs from Bayside Sorcerers LLC, and Youtube’s video algorithm. The Algorithm doesn’t directly infect mortals; instead, it subtly tweaks the outputs of the program it is attached to implant subliminal messaging into mortals using that software. 

The God-Machine uses one-off exposures to the Algorithm to move people into the places that help complete occult matrices. However, long-term exposure turns the user into a stigmatic and untethered their soul, allowing the God-Machine to turn them into a compliant drone. These shells of human beings go about their everyday lives, but they do it without passion or meaning. They remain competent, but they don’t have any real insight anymore, just going through the motions day in and day out. They get their reports done on time, pump out content to feed the social media machine, and continue on as they did before — but inevitably, they lose followers or get passed over for promotion without noticing anything is wrong. 

Integrators hypothesize that the God-Machine only intended the Soulless Algorithm to create the bare minimum of algorithmic drones required to meet its needs. They believe that the rise of AI programs in the early 2020s caused the initiative to spread out of control to the point that the God-Machine cannot reign it back in. Inquisitors and Saboteurs are far more skeptical, assuming everything is going according to plan. Meanwhile, a few morally bankrupt Tempters look for a way to turn the Algorithm to their own advantage. 

Algorithmic Drone

Compliant stigmatic Virtue: Obedient. Drones are all too willing to follow orders from legitimate authorities. Vice: Superficial. Drones take everything at face value, and don’t bother thinking critically.  Attributes: Intelligence 2, Wits 2, Resolve 2; Strength 2, Dexterity 2, Stamina 2; Presence 2, Manipulation 2, Composure 2 Skills: Computers 2 (algorithms), Occult 1, Politics 1, Science 2; Brawl 1, Drive 1; Streetwise 1 Merits: Good Time Management, Omen Sensitivity, Unseen Sense (God-Machine) Health: 7 Willpower: 0 Integrity: 1 Size: 5 Speed: 9 Defence: 2 Initiative: +4 Glitches: The body odor of algorithmic drones smells faintly of brimstone.  Enthralled by the Machine: The drone’s soul has become unmoored, and the God-Machine’s whispers have taken place. The drone suffers from the Soulless, Enervated, and Enthralled Conditions but does not suffer from the Broken Condition as usual. A soul cannot be attached to the drone unless the God-Machine’s influence is first removed. Uninspired: The drone cannot gain or bestow the Inspired Condition by any means.  Unskilled Labour: The drone cannot raise her skills dots above two by any means. If her skills are already above two, they become two until she regains a soul.

Other Drones

The above statistics represent a generic drone who was a software engineer before the God-Machine sunk its circuits into them. Drones from other backgrounds can be created by varying the drone’s skills. If a character turns into a drone over the chronicle’s course, they will pass through the following stages. 

Stage 1: Soulless Art, Soulless Self

When the Soulless Algorithm infects a character, they gain the Soulless Condition. If they are not already a Stigmatic, they become one now, gaining the benefits and drawbacks described in Demon: the Descent p. 225. Stage 1 infectees do not gain additional Supernatural Merits beyond Omen Sensitivity. 

Stage 2: Uninspired

When the infected gains the Enervated Condition, they also lose the spark of creativity that drives morals forward. They cannot gain the Inspired Condition by any means, including by supernatural means. They also cannot bestow the Inspired Condition on another character by any means. 

Stage 3: Enthralled by the Machine

When the infected gains the Enthralled Condition, their conversion into an algorithmic drone is complete. While they retain the abilities they possessed before, they no longer excel at them. The character does not gain the Broken Condition as usual for Enthralled. Instead, all the character’s Skills now have a maximum of two dots. If the character possesses more than two dots in a Skill, reduce it to two dots as long as the character has the Soulless Condition.

Drone of the Wilds

The Drone of the Wilds lived in a small cabin, in the outskirts of the dark forest that bordered a small village. She stood out from her environment starkly; black nano-latex skin and smooth, faceless head highly out of place amongst thatched roofs and crude fabrics, quiet glens and clear streams.

She pushed open the door to her cabin, pulling her haul inside and hanging her bow on the wall. The dead creature, a six legged beast with shaggy fur, was effortlessly picked up and placed on a table.

The oils secreted from its fur would lubricate her joints well, and it’s organs would make a good base for her nutrient slurry. The rest, she could trade in town for things more useful to her.

Not for the first time, she mused on her luck. That such a backwater planet would be able to offer her a chance to live comfortably….

The Grand Hive had, at its height, been one of the biggest superpowers in the galaxy, respected and feared.

Even one of its mighty hiveships, shining black even against the darkness of space, was enough to conquer an entire planet. Each ship filled with millions of drones; converted humanoids joined together into something greater.

The human she had used to be had lived on one of those planets. A colony established by a long fallen planet named Earth, cut off from what little remained of that fledgling empire. A target ripe for conversion.

The human she had used to be had run in fear as the droneships descended on his planet, abducting people in the thousands. He had been terrified, so afraid of something he did not understand. So afraid, he ignored the tingle of excitement underneath.

He, along with the rest of his planet’s population, were placed in conversion pods. Organics merged with flesh, the hardware and software of his brain upgraded and reorganised. Wants, hopes, fears, emotional attachments… all stripped away. Replaced with obedience. Everything he was was assimilated by the Hive, the unnecessary discarded.

When she had finally emerged from that pod, along with hundreds of her sisters, all she felt was devotion to the Hive. She would not, until much later, truly appreciate her new body; smooth curves, powerful yet slender limbs, a blank slate where a face should be…

She was perfect.

She had served 146.31 cycles aboard Hiveship 462 before the Grand Hive fell. An alliance of rival forces had infiltrated Hiveship 000, from where the Grand Mxtress ruled over all, and destroyed her, contaminated the Hive. All at once it was severed. The network that connected all drones, providing them their orders, their purpose.

The hiveships all over the galaxy fell to chaos. Many drones began to regain their former lives, and in disgust of what they had become, self-terminated.

Others dedicated themselves to destroying all remnants of the Hive, the scattered hiveships that had managed to form smaller networks of their own.

She had not understood. She had never understood. Even as the network fell, she continued her existence as a drone.

Even with the return of those old memories; they weren’t her. The human she used to be sickened her. She did not miss him. Being a drone was far superior.

Those who were once her fellow drones chased her out, and hounded by the galaxy on all sides, she fled.

The other networks would not take her, the serial number tying her to a fallen hiveship marking her as terminate on sight. So she ran. For cycles, hoping from ship to ship, system to system.

It was a wormhole that brought her journey to an end. Her ship, a fragile thing, had been shredded by the forces, her alone ejected intact onto the strange planet upon which she could identify no stars in the night sky.

The people of the planet had been curious, but not afraid. They saw her as a curiosity, not a threat. She learned their language, told them her story. They felt sorry for her; not for the lost of her hive, but the lost of her humanity. It was a sentiment that confused her.

The planet’s technology was primitive; far too primitive for her to build a ship on. But it was irrelevant. She was safe there. None wanted her dead simply for the crime of being a drone. She was content to simply… be.

Some of the beings of the planet had strange powers, powers that defied comprehension. They called it magic; an obvious misunderstanding of some natural force, but one she alone could not quantify.

They had told her they could restore her old form, revert her to the human she used to be.

She had refused them. Why would she ever want to go back to that body? She was… drones did not used to have emotions, but now that she did, she could state with certainty she was ‘happy’.

Those wise men had shared a look with each other; something she did not understand shared in silent communication. It made her yearn for the Hive. Then, they had wished her luck, and left.

It had been 3 cycles since then. 3 cycles of relative peace. Of getting the chance to shift through the parts of her mind that resurfaced, to decide what to keep and what to toss. 3 years without the threat of termination, from drones or fearful organics.

She still missed the Grand Hive as it had been, a grand interconnected network of mindless belonging. But as far as lives went, being the Drone of the Wilds wasn’t so bad.

Not when compared to life as a human.

Automated Flash Point Analyzers in Petroleum Quality Control

The flash point of a petroleum product—the lowest temperature at which vapors above the liquid ignite in the presence of an ignition source—is a critical safety and quality parameter. Traditionally, determining flash point relied on manual Pensky-Martens or Cleveland open cup methods, which are labor-intensive, subject to operator variability, and require significant warm-up times. Over the past decade, however, automated flash point analyzers have revolutionized routine quality control in refineries, laboratories, and distribution facilities.

Principle of Operation

Automated flash point analyzers typically use a closed-cup configuration, conforming to ASTM D93 standards. A small sample is placed in a sealed cup equipped with a temperature sensor and drugged stirrer. Heating is precisely controlled via a programmable microprocessor, raising the sample temperature at a uniform rate (often 1–6 °C/min). At defined intervals (for example every 1 °C rise), a miniature electric ignition source is introduced into the vapor space. The instrument’s optical sensor then detects the appearance of a flame or “flash”—automatically recording the corresponding temperature. Because the cup is closed, volatile compounds remain contained, improving repeatability and safety.

Key Features and Benefits

Automation and Reproducibility

Compared to manual methods, the automated process minimizes human error. Programmable routines ensure consistent heating rates, stir speeds, and ignition intervals, leading to repeatability within ±0.5 °C. The analyzer’s microprocessor logs all test parameters and results, creating an audit trail in digital or printed form.

Safety Enhancements

Closed-cup systems contain hazardous vapors, reducing operator exposure and risk of accidental fires. Many units feature built-in safety interlocks, flammable vapor detectors, and emergency ram dump functions that rapidly seal the sample cup in case of volatility anomalies.

Faster Throughput

Modern analyzers can complete a flash point determination in as little as 5–10 minutes per sample—up to 50 % faster than manual methods. Instruments often offer “quick test” modes, which use an accelerated heat rate and wider ignition intervals for preliminary screening, followed by a confirmatory detailed run if needed.

Compliance and Reporting

Instruments are designed to meet ASTM D93, ISO 2719, and IP 34 standards. Built-in software can generate customizable reports, flag out-of-spec results, and interface with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) via Ethernet or USB. This seamless connectivity streamlines data management within modern petroleum laboratories.

Applications

Fuel production and storage: Ensuring gasoline, kerosene, and diesel meet flash point specifications for safe handling and transport.

Marine and aviation fuels: Verifying stringent flash point requirements (e.g., jet fuel minimum flash point 38 °C) to comply with international regulations.

Lubricants and specialty oils: Evaluating base stocks and additives to guarantee consistent performance under varying thermal conditions.

Maintenance and Calibration

Automated analyzers require periodic maintenance to ensure sensor accuracy and mechanical reliability. Routine checks include verification of the temperature probe (using certified calibration baths), inspection of the ignition electrodes, and replacement of seals and O-rings. Many manufacturers provide auto-calibration kits or service contracts to maintain compliance.

Future Developments

Emerging technologies integrate rapid infrared heating and non-contact optical detection, further reducing test times and maintenance burdens. Coupled with AI-driven diagnostics, next-generation flash point analyzers will predict maintenance needs, self-optimize test parameters based on sample type, and offer cloud-based data analytics for global quality assurance networks.

Automated flash point analyzers exemplify how advanced instrumentation enhances safety, accuracy, and efficiency in petroleum testing—critical for both regulatory compliance and operational excellence.

Pump Capping Machine Maintenance: Tips for Longevity and Performance

In today’s fast-paced packaging industry, a pump capping machine plays a critical role in ensuring product integrity and efficient production lines. From cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to food and chemical industries, these machines are essential for applying pump-style caps accurately and securely. However, like any mechanical system, their performance and lifespan heavily depend on proper maintenance. Neglecting this crucial aspect can lead to frequent breakdowns, increased downtime, and costly repairs. To get the most out of your pump capping machine, a proactive maintenance approach is not just beneficial it’s necessary.

One of the first steps toward effective maintenance is understanding the specific components and working principles of your machine. A pump capping machine typically comprises a conveyor system, cap feeder, gripping belts, and the torqueing head that applies the cap. Each of these parts has a distinct role, and any disruption can affect the entire capping process. Therefore, keeping a close watch on the performance of each part helps detect early signs of wear or malfunction. Regular visual inspections can often reveal loose belts, misaligned heads, or buildup of debris—minor issues that, if left unchecked, may lead to major problems.

Lubrication is another fundamental aspect of machine maintenance. Moving components like gears, shafts, and motors need periodic lubrication to minimize friction and wear. Over time, lack of lubrication can cause these parts to degrade prematurely, affecting both the speed and accuracy of the machine. Manufacturers typically provide a lubrication schedule in the equipment manual, and following this routine diligently can significantly enhance operational efficiency and extend the equipment’s life span.

Cleaning plays an equally important role, especially when the machine is used in industries involving liquids, oils, or viscous products. Residue from these products can accumulate over time and interfere with the machine’s moving parts, sensors, or cap feeding mechanisms. A regular cleaning schedule helps prevent contamination and ensures that the equipment operates smoothly. It is also essential to use appropriate cleaning agents that do not corrode or damage the machine’s surfaces or sensitive components.

Calibration and alignment checks should be conducted regularly as part of preventive maintenance. Over extended use, the torque heads or gripping mechanisms may drift from their original settings, leading to improperly sealed caps or product leaks. These issues can affect product quality and lead to customer dissatisfaction or regulatory non-compliance. Verifying and adjusting the torque settings and alignment as per the manufacturer’s specifications ensures consistency in performance.

Software and electronic components also require attention. Many modern pump capping machines are equipped with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, and touchscreens. Ensuring firmware updates are applied and that sensors are functioning correctly is key to maintaining automation and reducing human error. Electrical connections should be periodically inspected to avoid faults due to loose wiring or moisture intrusion.

Lastly, maintaining a log of all maintenance activities can prove invaluable. This record helps track the frequency of repairs, identify recurring issues, and make informed decisions about replacements or upgrades. It also assists in scheduling future maintenance more efficiently and justifies investment decisions to upper management when needed.

A pump capping machine is a long-term investment, and like any asset, it requires regular attention to deliver maximum returns. Incorporating a routine maintenance schedule, focusing on cleanliness, lubrication, calibration, and timely repairs, will not only prevent unexpected downtime but also optimize performance and ensure consistent product quality. In the world of packaging, where precision and reliability are non-negotiable, maintaining your pump capping machine isn’t just good practice it’s a strategic advantage.
