International Brotherhood of Mechanicians


 * The creator of the Mechanists, Bryan Armor, says the organization's acronym (IBM) is an intentional reference.

Victorian Age
In 1851, the Artificers, and the larger Order of Reason, underwent reorganization and emerged as the Technocratic Union. The Artficers were re-christened as the International Brotherhood of Mechanicians.

This will last until the closing years of the 19th century, when the Technoracy will reorganize itself yet again. In the process, the Mechanicians will become Iteration X, named after the self-aware Computer they created, which acheived sentience at the tenth iteration of its self-improvement program.
