Ian's idea about Autonomy splitting and ultimately being at odds with itself is very interesting. It brought Ann Leckie's Ancillary-series to my mind, where something very similar is the central premise - it works quite well in there and I could absolutely see Autonomy trending in that direction.
I like this.. but I also like that at any point.. the vessel can speak through the individual if invested enough. You never know when the vessel is saying "we" via avatar.. or if the person who believes in Trell and the royal We.
