Got flesh from Carlos about the Machine, here you go:
Q: What kind of energy does the Machine use? Where and how can be obtained? If deprived from it, does she "ran out of batteries"?
A: The type of energy is unknown, but is not magical not related to it. In some way is similar to the psychic matrixes energy, but is not purely psi. Yes, without it, remain in slumber.
Q: Where the psychic crystals comes from? From the same age the Machine appeared after the War of Darkness, or they were scattered from previous ages? Do they wear down over time?
A: Previous age. They wear down, but slowly.
Q: If Mazikeen succeed in opening a path from Dravenor to Gai, at what moment will she have control over the dormant larvae? Would instantly awake the Motherfrom the Inner Sea? (Does she have a name?)
A: No, she wouldn't control them directly, but she would have influence over them. That Mother has no known name.
Q: Little time ago we talk about that if a Mother awakes in Gaia could control those with implanted psychic crystals. There's a way to avoid that (beyond, obviously, remove it)?
A: Careful. Not everyone with direct control. But even in the worst case scenario, it would have certain influence over them.
Q: Could something interrupt the link between the hive mind and one of its units? If affirmative, What?
A: Several things actually. If you noticed, the Barrier itself behave as an isolator. Other very powerful barriers (or technomagic system designed with such end) could perform that action. Q: Could the Machine have errors (glitches)? What could cause them?
A: Feelings.
Q: Would an EM pulse have some effect over the Machine?
A: Nop. They aren't electrical.
Q: The one-million-dollar question: How could the Machine be defeated (without help from the Power of the Shadow) in Gaia's current age, who would take actions first, how would the resistance organize and who would have more chances?
A: Uff… depends of SO MUCH variables… that is difficult to tell. Nowadays, at present, without counting with the Power on the Shadows, there's enough forces in Gaia to destroy the Machine's first wave if it passes through the Barrier. Honestly, there's a bunch of potencies operating on Gaia. The problem would be not taking actions on time and leave it to becomes stronger, cuz it would grow in an exponential rate, absorbing powerful entities that would equalize the conflict. But come on… Is complicated to define.
Q: Could a new Mother rise, or they simply "are". Any clue about their origin?
A: Nop.
Quick translation made by me, btw.
