A couple of things have been rolling around in my mind.
-Michael Moore's "Capitalism" & the supposed new aristocracy.
-The term "White Knight" and the role of knights in the medieval world as enforcers of oppression, eating from their lord's table and so subject to his rule.
-The dependency of a Transhumans upon expensive maintenance and so their requirement for sponsorship, i.e. their binding to one or several financial lords.
All this inspiration combined to become a single vision of a hypothetical future, of an Artilect in bright glowing armour. His/her/its armour glows because the projected-energy based ballistics-interception systems work better when there's more photons reflecting off the incoming projectiles; it's like how radar and large ground based lasers can shoot down missiles, except movement sensitive optics are used instead of radar and some other form of energy other than lasers is used to disrupt the projectiles flight path, possibly high intensity directed pressure waves (sound) or something else like that which has a kinetic rather than thermal effect on the target (lasers destroy missiles by overheating them, and somehow people think this will actually work or a real battlefield, that's just sad).
