It seems they are pretty much werewolf Nephandi, complete with slow, gradual descent and their soul getting irrevocably corrupted when they decide to join.

If continuity of consciousness matter, you're dead pretty much every time you pass out, and maybe even get asleep.

Honestly the most menacing part about Aperture Labs here is the fact that they've got a replicable two-way spirit portal that's going to just vomit hungry spirits into the world every time they run tests.

The whole place is going to belong to a powerful court sooner or later.

They are also going to vomit ghosts escaping the Underworld, Reapers pursuing these ghosts, and angels that would like to know who's constantly leaving muddy boot prints on their freshly cleaned Infrastructure. There are three separate splats that would like to see this lab closed ASAP. They have it worse than Black Mesa and UAC both, because both of these companies only managed to open a portal to just one insanely dangerous place.

And, for that matter, are there any actual gods in the setting that grant miracles?

It's common enough that a Merit (Mystery Cult Initiation) exists. On its higher levels it can give you a minor supernatural power.

The only sort of person that would invent lovely Frankenstein is someone who is trying to recreate their own version of Human Centipede in space because they have space madness.

It's less space madness and more space edgelordism. The fight with leftover monsters isn't complete without their maker lecturing you through the mesh and getting increasingly pissed you're not disgusted or frightened.

Huh, Legion question: How would werewolves fight it, if it can possess them instantly with a touch? Are we given suggestions on how to prevent combat with Legion from turning into 'now we have to kill our buddy?'

I find it funny that just when 'X-Risks' are described, it turned out that Werewolf came up with its own exsurgent virus.
