I think you underlined an important issue with the central conflict. The "Synthetic vs. Organics" conflict superseding all others goes against the cohesion of the narrative's themes. Instead of being about unity and alliances, it dissolved into an "us vs. them" scenario.

Also, that was a smashing good read!
