Machine Messiah is the 31st Proposed Serial in Spectral Shadows. It is preceded by Serial 30 - Survivors of Cygnus and succeeded by Serial 32 - The Temporal Duplication Theory. It is currently not being worked on, meaning that the only available material is the summary on the Synopsis Page. The serial takes its namesake from the Yes song that appears on their album Drama.

The summary is as follows:

In order to fulfill the request Perry required as payment for fixing The Sound Chaser, the travelers must journey to post-Ommadawn Chikyu.

The planet is now ruled by a megalomaniacal computer called The Black Widow, and its will is enforced by its minions, The Anthrodroids.

Jon learns that the computer was created by Dr. Penning, using data he obtained from Raelian while he was in captivity. Jon has little pity for the human survivors who have been allowed to continue existing only because the insane computer has developed a taste for living human blood. But because of Raelian's involvement in the situation he feels compelled to help rid them of the computerized monstrosity.
