Each Machina contributes a portion of her processing power to the Cluster and is able to instantly communicate with her sisters as much as she needs. The Queen-class Machina controlling the Cluster acts as the central server for communication and coordination between her subordinates. The Queen is able to learn everything that her subordinates know and experience, and issue commands that are followed without question.

 Machina are highly proud and superior creatures, and while they are immensely confident in their ability to never truly die, thanks to the Main Cluster, they still would never wish to be destroyed and cease functioning. Every Machina values herself and other Machina above all else, and their tolerance for casualties is very low. Disruptions to their plans will often cause Queens to not launch an action or withdraw from a current one. It is this way that the fewer-still women of [[REPAIR Program|REPAIR]] are able to repel the Machina, to various extents.

 Most Queens are what's called 'Sovereign' Queens, who simply rule over their own Cluster. They may retain some loyalty to their former Queen after they ascend to Queen status themselves, and they may need to ally themselves to a faction of Queens. In general terms though, these Sovereign Queens are free to do as they please. However, there are some Queens who seek to dominate others. Some very strong Queen-class Machina will overpower other Queens and fill them with enough ejaculate to override the subdued Queen with the dominant Queen's [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Cluster_Code Cluster-Code]. When the victim's body is overwhelmed, she becomes loyal similar to a regular Machina obeying her Queen. This is called a Cluster-Code Override. The submissive Queens are referred to as 'Vassal' Queens, and the dominant Queen is referred to as an 'Empress'. The Empress will control not only her own Cluster, but also the Clusters of her Vassals by extension, forming an Imperial Cluster with the Empress leading all within it.
-Vassal Queens require regular reassertion of dominance, so there is a limit to how many Vassals an Empress can maintain. Similarly, due to limitations in processing, there cannot be Vassals of Vassals. If somehow an Empress is Vassalized, the former Vassals must be quickly Vassalized by the new Empress before they become totally freed. The only exception to this rule is when an Alpha dominates an Empress, which is discussed below.

 === Cluster_Code Override ===
-To attempt a Cluster-Code Override is no small undertaking. It is essentially the Machina equivalent of war, more hostile than simply screwing over another Queen's actions and plans or stealing Gene-Code from her Cluster. To begin, the aggressor will invade the territory of a Queen she believes is both vulnerable and desirable enough to be worth the risk. Her Machina may have to fight or otherwise block the defending Queen's Machina from stopping the attacking Queen. These fights, while they can be brutal, are often melee fights. The core programming of the Machina prevent killing, so the involved Machina can only disable or restrain each other. Once the Queens meet, they too fight in such a manner; trying to overpower the other's resistance and pin them for the ultimate sexual conquest. Once a Queen has pinned and penetrated the other, her goal is to pump as much of her M2 semen into the loser as she can. If both the quality and quantity of [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Cluster_Code Cluster-Code] is greater than the victim's own resistance, then the victorious Queen's Cluster-Code will dominate and control the losing Queen. The winning Queen becomes an Empress, and the losing Queen becomes a Vassal. The Empress controls the Vassal as though she was any other Machina in her Cluster, and the Vassal's Machina can be controlled through the Vassal.

-There are some great risks, however. Firstly, once the hostile contact commences, Cluster-Code is being exchanged by the Machina involved, either from the spilling of 'blood' or from sexual conquests. Neither Queen can afford to abort the hostilities once they begin, or she will lose her Gene-Code secrets to the other. This is especially so when Queens fight. If the physically victorious Queen is interrupted from sexually conquering the losing Queen, and that Queen gets away, the previously-victorious Queen has just given the losing Queen her undiluted Gene-Code, especially her [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Identity_Code Identity-Code], to assimilate and become stronger by. Risks do not stop after successful Vassalization either. A Vassal will almost never be happy with her situation, having tasted the near-limitless freedom of being a Queen and now being controlled again as though she were a Category 3 Machina. Her body will produce new M2 as normal, which will bear her own Cluster-Code, not the Empress' Cluster-Code. The Empress must regularly re-exert her dominion over the Vassal through sex, refilling the Vassal with some semen. If her control fades, the Vassal may purge herself of the foreign Cluster-Code and become independent once more. She will doubtlessly be vengeful, and worse, fully up-to-date with the Empress' genetic upgrades.

-In other, more minor and uncommon scenarios, a Category 3 or lesser Machina can have her allegiance changed if she is sexually dominated by another Queen. Unlike a Vassal Queen, the newly converted lesser Machina has no ability to make her own, original Cluster-Code. As a result, her ownership change will be permanent. Such a move is still almost as hostile as the above conflict but with less pay-off, so it is almost never performed.

-In very rare circumstances, a peaceful override can occur. Queens on good terms can arrange to transfer some of their Machina to the other Queen's Cluster, if everyone involved is willing. Very rarely, a Queen who is very fond of another Queen may become a willing Vassal to them. These willing Vassals do not require regular Cluster-Code top-ups from the Empress to remain Vassals. Such relationships are extraordinary, and often only between Machina who are lovers with a dominant-submissive dynamic or if a Queen willingly serves a higher power, such as an Alpha or an Auditor.

-There are seven Queen-class Machina who are nearly strong enough to gain control of the Main Cluster, and thus all Machina. They are referred to as the Alphas. Their most important quirk is their ability to dominate Empresses the same way an Empress dominates a Vassal. An Alpha may dominate Empresses, filling them with their Cluster-Code and controlling them, yet they have enough processing power to control Empresses, and by extension their Vassals, and indirectly, all lesser Machina under them. This allows them unparalleled ability to form large blocs of Machina, resources, and ultimately power.

 Currently, they are all concerned with trying to out-compete the other Alphas, potentially dominating them, after which the successful Alpha is theorized to become the Omega and rule over the Main Cluster and by extension all Machina. The Alpha's strength and their potential to become the rulers of all other Machina mean the Alphas are leaders of major factions among Queens. Many Queens will ally themselves to an Alpha, betting on a future where their Alpha 'wins' and they enjoy the benefits of their relationship.

Stealing and backstabbing are expected. However, should a Queen become a danger to Machina lives either because they are chronic screw-ups or relentlessly sabotage others, they will find themselves without allies and vulnerable to being censured or ostracised by the other Queens of the Main Cluster. If this happens to a Queen, they will find themselves very vulnerable to being attacked and made a Vassal by the opportunistic Queens around her. This alone is an effective deterrent against behaviours which may harm the whole of Machina.

If they decide the accusations are true, the Auditor may use her authority to re-educate or punish the dangerous Machina.
 As the Main Cluster does not have an equivalent to the Queen of a normal Cluster, the Main Cluster is primarily supported by a hyper-organized, planet-wide Hive covering the entire surface of Pluto. This super-Hive is also referred to as the Main Cluster. It is a neutral place and considered sacred ground by all Machina. This is because the minds of all Machina exist partially within the Main Cluster while they simultaneously exist within their bodies via the connections of the Queens, and those Machina whose bodies are destroyed exist there in a dream state until the Machina somehow unlock the ability to make new bodies for them. No Machina would ever dare to risk violence in the presence of the physical Main Cluster, and similarly, the Main Cluster is defended at all costs by all Machina.

-The first two Queen-class Machina are referred to as Auditors. Their special task is the preservation of Machina survival in general. The Auditors are a neutral party among all the Alphas and other Queens who came afterwards. They instead act as vigilant guardians for the Machina as a whole. The Auditors' forces lurk in the shadows, spying on humans and observing the Machina for signs of great danger. A human group planning a weapon of mass destruction might be 'disappeared' and their servers wiped before they ever put their plans into motion.
+The first two Queen-class Machina are referred to as Auditors. They are a neutral party among all the Alphas and other Queens who came afterwards. This is because when other Queens began to appear and became autonomous from the original two Queens, a self-preservation reflex occurred within the Instinct-Code of the M2 Nanomachines. As a result, the two original Queens became the Auditors and were given the special task of guarding the survival of the Machina as a whole. To do this, Auditors possess a limited ability to issue commands to Machina that do not belong to them, however, this is usually only for investigations, issuing punishments, or bringing emergencies under control.
-The Auditors' territory currently consists of the former capital city of Titan, which is now a mega-Hive, and the planet-spanning Hive covering Pluto, which is the physical location of the Main Cluster. This territory is treated by other Machina as a neutral zone, and the Auditors spend a large amount of effort there protecting weak Machina as well as rescuing Machina who have lost their Queen to enemy action. If a Queen-class Machina is destroyed, the Auditors attempt to quickly bring the lost subordinate Machina back to their neutral area to be safe until a new Queen ascends from the group or another Queen peacefully adopts them. This leads the Auditors to have a powerful 'inner circle' of forces they treat as their Cluster forces, and a large 'periphery' of Machina that they protect but do not utilize for their own needs.
+As mentioned above, the Auditors oversee matters when a significant majority of Queens have declared another Queen to be a danger to the Machina around her. They must consider the reasons of the majority and begin an investigation into the accused Queen's actions. They can use their command powers to compel other Machina to divulge information if needed. If they decide the accused Machina is guilty, they might perform re-education or issue a punishment to that Machina using their command powers.
-The Auditors are content to let the Alphas and other Queen-class Machina do as they please, knowing that despite their constant competition and backstabbing, almost all their actions will be in accordance with the programming inherited from the M2 Nanomachines; to survive, replicate, and evolve. In very rare cases where a Machina leader's actions cause a significant threat to Machina lives, an Auditor may step in. Auditors possess a limited ability to issue commands to Machina that do not belong to their Cluster. They use this power to bring the emergency under control before releasing the Machina from the override when it is safe again. The Auditors almost never need to issue a punishment to a Machina who causes the emergency. Their actions are almost instantly known by other Queens once the Auditors have to intervene. The reputation damage and the threat of censure or ostracisation is enough of a deterrent and punishment.
+In very rare cases where a Queen-class Machina has made a mistake or the humans have dealt a terrible blow to the Machina, and many Machina lives are at stake, an Auditor may step in. They use their command powers to bring the emergency under control before releasing the Machina from the override when it is safe again. Afterwards, they decide if there was a Machina at fault for the emergency and may punish them if needed.
