NeoTheology Preacher

Description:

Head of the local church and representative of NeoTheology on the CEV "Eris". His task is not only to spread the influence of NeoTheology by any available methods, but also to maintain unity among his flock as well as the revival of believers and the funeral of the infidels according to Catholic-like canons.

Guide:

To start - look at your equipment, most of it has a mechanical value:

Item	Description
	Cruciform - Cornerstone of NeoTheology, it is necessary to revive believers and to use litanies from the Bible. It violently detaches all augments and prothesis from a body when implanted and activated. Baptizing Changelings gibs them. Removing the cruciform causes the wearer to instantly die. The common cruciform has: 50 energy, Preacher cruciform has: 80 energy, and Inquisitor cruciform has: 100 energy.
	Ritual Knife - Necessary to speed-up the proccess of baptism. If the unbeliever has one or several prothesis and wants to become one of NeoTheologians, the implantation of a cruciform will cause the augmentats to detach violently, and he will be driven into critical condition. Kill him with your knife and start the process of cloning, then hide the body and wash the floor. Very effective.
	Cahor - church wine. The most effective anti-toxin on the whole ship but in limited quantities. Can be purchased in TheoMat, or be found inside cahor barrel at the ritual room.

After that, look at your machines:

NeoTheology machines

Machine	Description
	Clonepod - A new body will be formed inside it. For a single body you will need 300 biomass, if you have not enough biomass or there is no energy inside ritual room, the process of cloning will be stoped but not canceled. The process is activated by reciting the "Resurrection" litany infront of the cloner.
	Cruciform reader - It is necessary to start cloning. To begin the process, place a cruciform with a mind into it to clone the dead person who the cruciform belonged to. After cloning is finished - extract it.
	Biomass container, it only accepts meat and it's necessary to form new body. Red meat counts as 50 biomass, green meat such as that of giant insects counts as 40 biomass. To form new body, you need 6 slices of red meat, or 300 units of biomass.
	TheoMat - This will sell you everything you need to worship God. - 500 credits. - 200 credits. And candles for 200 credits. Hides inside it some if you hack it.

Also available to the Preacher is an expanded list of litanies, which can be accessed by:

Basically, using them is your main job as they allow you to convert people to your faith, and much more.

Common litanies

Name	Description	Text
Relief	Short litany, weakens pain much like a painkiller.	Et si ambulavero in medio umbrae mortis non timebo mala
Soul Hunger	Litany of piligrims, relieves you of some of your hunger but also gives a small ammount of toxins.	Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie
Entreaty	Call for help, this can be heard by other NeoTheology believers.	Deus meus ut quid dereliquisti me
Reveal Adversaries	Gives you information about your environment. Most of the time it tells you about roaches and other aggressive monsters and traps. Very rarely it can reveal to you that somewhere around you hides a changeling.	Et fumus tormentorum eorum ascendet in saecula saeculorum: nec habent requiem die ac nocte, qui adoraverunt bestiam, et imaginem ejus, et si quis acceperit caracterem nominis ejus.

Group rituals

Most of the group rituals work equally. The Preacher reads the first word of the group ritual litany, and after that the believers repeat the Preacher's words. Then the Preacher reads the next word and the believers repeat again. This continues until the end of the ritual. Any other words or incorrect litanies will cause the believer to be removed from the group ritual, or the Preacher to stop it. If the ritual failed, you can't trigger it again. Only one ritual can be started per round.

Mainly, group litanies increase your stats by 3 points with a 1+ per each believer who was in the group ritual. Also, group litanies will give you access to the "Crusade" litanies, which are mostly used by NeoTheology battle troops.

Preacher litanies

Name	Description	Text
Epiphany	Litany which will activate an installed cruciform and finish the baptism of a new believer. It works only from the Preacher's lips. To make it work you need place a naked person on the altar, and while looking at him, read this litany. After the cruciform is installed and activated, use a bandage on his chest since installation creates minor wounds. Activation of a cruciform will cause ALL augments to fall off, and will also gib changelings.	In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus sancti
Resurrection	Litany which will activate the cloning process. To make it work you need to remove the cruciform from a corpse by using the Deprivation litany, and afterwards place the cruciform into , then move to look at and read this litany.	Qui fuit, et crediderunt in me non morietur in aeternum
Reincarnation	Returns the soul to a body. After creating a new body, remove cruciform from , and place it on the altar with the new body. Use "Commitment", and after that - "Reincarnation". That will connect the ghost to the new body. If the ghost sitting in their old body it will create problems with connecting to the new one.	Vetus moritur et onus hoc levaverit
Commitment	Litany which will command a cruciform to connect to the chest of new human. After that, you can activate the cruciform and baptize someone or connect a soul to new a body. It causes damage to the chest and some bloodloss.	Unde ipse Dominus dabit vobis signum
Deprivation	Litany which will command cruciform to detach from chest. It's important, because it's the most simple way to remove a cruciform from a corpse. It doesn't need an altar to be used, only a dead body.	Et revertatur pulvis in terram suam unde erat et spiritus redeat ad Deum qui dedit illum
Asacris	Litany that will remove any upgrades from the believer. Almost useless, but can be used by Inquistiors to remove the current Preacher. But also, Preacher can use it to make some of believers safer by removing the Crusader upgrade.	A caelo usque ad centrum
Pounding Whisper	Gives a temporary increase to the stat "Mechanic" to everyone who hears you. This buff will stay for ten minutes.	Vocavitque nomen eius Noe dicens iste consolabitur nos ab operibus et laboribus manuum nostrarum in terra cui maledixit Dominus
Revelation of Secrets	Gives a temporary increase to the stat "Cognition" to everyone who hears you. This buff will stay for ten minutes.	Quia Dominus dat sapientiam et ex ore eius scientia et prudentia

Canto of Courage	Gives a temporary increase to the stat "Robustness" and "Toughness" to everyone who hears you. This buff will stay for ten minutes.	Huic David ad te Domine clamabo Deus meus ne sileas a me nequando taceas a me et adsimilabor descendentibus in lacum

Crusader litanies

Any of the Crusader litanies needs a special amount of people to unlock the highers tier of it. To open all Crusader abilities you should have atleast 4 believers with you, and the Preacher.

Название	Описание	Текст
Eternal Brotherhood	Shows to you all other believers, or anyone who has cruciform, by giving you the NeoTheology HUD. This although stops your cruciform from regenerating energy.	Ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo singuli autem alter alterius membra.
Call to Battle	If you have any Crusaders around you, using this litany will cause a global upgrade of the "Toughness" and "Robustness" stats.	Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos clangetis ululantibus tubis et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
Searing Revelation	The most powerful litany that you can get. Using it will stun everyone who doesn't have cruciform for 4-5 seconds, but it also has a big chance to stun you. It can be a reason why IH would start making problems to NeoTheology. It would be better if you hide this litany until it is needed in battle.	Per fidem enim ambulamus et non per speciem.

Tips

• Litanies can be use without just say it.
• Infidels very rarely will convert into NeoTheology by themself, you need to search interested ones, and propagand NeoTheology by using words, paper, and messages. We don't recommend radio usage, IH can dislike that. Bring people to Church, tell them more about religion, convert them, ask believers to help you with propaganda. Find your own ways to increase your influence, don't sit in Church. Use your mind, people conversion is like dating simulator!
• Check morgue, there you can find some weapon for your believers. You are a public person, would be better if nobody will see you looting dead people. But don't forget about funerals, placing dead body into coffin and sending it into space will make player respawn faster if he isn't believer. If you can't take care of corpse right now, place him into morgue.
• While trying to convert people, try not to use "fear of death" and other factors like that, you will scare people, not make them more loyal to you.
• You are Preacher, not a soldier, prevent your death by any means. If you will die, all believers will lose their chance to get back from the dead. Hire yourself a bodyguard if you wish, convert him to bound him to you.
• Public botany is the most simple way to grow alot of plants, transform them into biomass, and after that make meat. Plump helmets have the best number of harvested crops, and amount biomass that you get from them for short amount of time.
