[✗] obedience vessel amendment

- Obedience Vessel: An optional module which an alchemist may install within their construct, binding the automaton’s will to their own. This is achieved by taking 20 milliliters of blood and injecting it directly into the automaton's stores of lifeblood. This cannot be any blood; it must be the blood of the individual the creator wishes the automaton to owe obedience to. While this does not prevent the automaton from forming other allegiances and relationships, it will solidify their loyalty to their creator, preventing them from causing outright harm or acting against their master’s directives and orders in ill faith. It is possible for an automaton to have multiple masters, though the  first and largest sum of deposited blood will always take priority, with each lower number subsequently following.

yes please.
lifeblood has WAAAAY too many uses, makes automatons seem more magic than science based. this is a good step in the right direction.

This lore has been denied.

After a vote, ST opted to keep Obedience Vessels the way they are. Simply put, we find it more thematic that an Automaton ought to be completely drained of Life Fluid and replaced for the Obedience vessel to be undone rather than just plugging with a USB port.
