}}The '''babel'''s were an advanced generation of [[cast]]s created in the [[Catherion Imprimature]] to overcome the limitations of casts. The goal was to make a self-aware system that would be linked to the [[mind]] of a [[time-active]] agent instead of the [[the Homeworld]]'s [[noosphere]] or the operating system of a [[TARDIS|timeship]]. | |||
Only about eight were created, and all were incurably [[insane]]. [[Babel (Newtons Sleep)|One escaped babel]] massacred almost everyone at House Catherion, leaving only one survivor; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') the [[Order of the Weal]] subsequently kept it prisoner under [[House Ixion]], where Chatelaine [[Thessalia]] consulted with it about [[the War|the upcoming War]].

Most of the other babels were confined in areas where they were deprived of radiation and eventually starved to death. However, at least three were allowed to survive and were used in the [[Lethean Campaign]] during [[the War]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') | |||
