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
For starters it is best to give direction to your local church members, such as starting the Bioreactor and fueling the Biogenerator. You are not expected to run it yourself as your clothing will not protect you from the bile mass that secretes from a dirty reactor pipe. The preacher is not expected to dive into maintenance for roaches or other critters, nor are they expected to clean the halls. You are expected to give direction for the church and spread the faith among the crew.
Inquisitors, are another story. An inquisitor will seek a private audience with you and may share their objectives with you. Their objectives are seen as utmost priority from the Church itself and must be completed. Will the be completed in haste, or will you take your time to complete them? That is up to you and the Inquisitor, as they hold more power over you and can easily dismiss you if you fail to heed the Church's will.

Group Litanies and Rituals
Unlike other Church members the Preacher can gather the church members together to perform group litanies. The preacher should announce the litany they wish to commence and those following must read after him.
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.
Upon the completion of a successful litany, everyone in the group who followed along will gain a boost in stats depending on the litany chosen. 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.

Tips
- Nonbelievers will very rarely convert to NeoTheology by themselves, you need to search interested ones and spread the word of NeoTheology by either pamphlets or private messages. We don't recommend using the radio too much as IH may dislike that. Try to bring people to Church and tell them more about the religion to convert them, and don't be afraid to ask believers to help you with the propaganda, it helps to have someone who can be trusted to reassure the nonbelievers to convert. Then notify the preacher someone wishes to convert.
- While trying to convert people try to not use the "fear of death" or other factors like that, you will scare them instead of making them more loyal to you. Remember, immortality is a reward for the believers, not a tool to scare the infidels.
- You are a Preacher, not a soldier, so you must prevent your death by any means. If you die, all the current and future believers will lose their chance to get back from the dead. Hire yourself a bodyguard if you wish, and even convert him to bound him to you.
