Story so far

The Church of Humanity Ascendant sends delegates in loose orange robes aboard the Thomas Prince. Tilly Fagan dismisses their belief as humanity pretending to be gods, while Father Michel knows the group's elder and describes her as a wonderful woman.

At the long interfaith prayer service, an elder leads meditation and breathing exercises that leave Anna Volovodov refreshed and energized.
