I don't see Babeester Gori as being emotionless killing machines. I see them as angst ridden individuals desperately trying to make sense of horrific personal experiences while following the demands of their goddess. Too psychotic for my taste in characters but it doesn't make them unplayable. Also the cult writeups tend to define what the god(dess) expects of their followers. Being human those followers will at times fall short.
