	Modified Cybernetic Consciousness Get a bigger avatar today!

Here's a variant of the Cybernetic Consciousness I threw together the other day. They're slightly more "human" than the original faction; to try and convey this I pushed their aggression up to Erratic, slightly altered their faction attributes, and altered their conversation text. I also made up some more interesting base names.

This is the first time I've ever posted a faction I created here, so I'm not too familiar with the protocols. Should I be attaching the file as well? Here it is:
