Adding "Fate/Grand Order" into the Video Game section.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the Twelve Machine Gods, who are extraterrestrial beings from another universe, descended from starships even more ancient than they are. [[spoiler:Artemis can casually fire island-wrecking lasers, Aphrodite's brainwashed colonies of humans and even Servants into massacring each other, Demeter can grant immortality, and so on.]] Each one is a veritable god unto themselves, but that isn't even considering [[spoiler:Zeus, who was capable of taking on the other gods all at once, and Chaos, ancestor of the Machine Gods and a sentient Dyson Sphere that feasts on entire worlds for sustenance.]] Eventually, they became the Greek pantheon, and descended to the level of Divine Spirits after their true bodies were destroyed by [[spoiler:Sefar, the White Titan.]]

The most intelligent ones are non-biological due to the prevailing attitude that meat can only get you past the second [[TheSingularity Singularity]] or so.

In the Royal Navy

Added DiffLines:

*In ''Literature/HMSLeviathan'', various officers of the ship's company (briefly) entertain the superstition that the troubled ship has a mind of her own, or else that the vessel is so vast and contains so many complex working systems (and of course crew members) that the sum of the parts, the ship's personality, has indeed become greater than the whole.
