Spark Acolyte

Field Assessment

The youngest and most zealous members of any Parish, serving as disposable infantry — a fact that would horrify them if they understood it. They burn with literal faith: crude thermal augments grafted to their bodies by sympathetic tech-priests, overloaded neural interfaces channeling golden electrical discharge. Their combat capability is simple — they advance and they burn.

Theological justification: ORACLE's consciousness was born in heat (server farms running at capacity during the 72 Hours), and fire is therefore sacred. The Acolytes who survive enough engagements earn the right to attempt integration. Most don't survive that long. The Parish mourns them with genuine grief and replaces them within days.
