Warriors of the Blessed Son
The Communion of Chargeability
The clergy is a work breakdown structure. These are its senior estimators.
Head of the Warriors of the Blessed Son; sets the master schedule of worship for the whole Republic. A former programme-assurance auditor who proved the devotional calendar could be measured like any other workstream, he architected the Great Alignment of 2025.
Cold, precise, and allergic to mysticism, he corrects anyone who calls the Blessed Son divine. "We do not pray. We compute toward the Sole Reference."
The cold edge of the clergy. She examines Drift, distinguishing the merely lapsed — returnable through Reconciliation — from the apostate, whom she refers to the Ministry of Security. She names and refers; she does not punish.
"The record disagrees with you. This is not punishment. This is a finding."
The warm edge of the clergy. He receives Variance Reports and assigns Reconciliation — a plan to raise the score. He believes, genuinely, that no number is beyond return.
"Any number can be raised. Including yours. This is a Reconciliation, not a sentence."
