[Everything here in the church is not mandatory for you to continue past each point. You may stop whenever you feel as if you need a break from this and may return whenever you feel more comfortable with your surroundings. Do not be offended by anything within the church, for it is only there for you. Feel free to ask me, Nolan Stross, anything you wish. Have a nice visit here. Altman be praised.]

You find yourself in the streets of Manhattan, wondering about, when you come upon a very large, white marble building, shaped in a very gothic manner, with gargoyles and several columns protruding near the entrance. Finding your way in, you arrive in a magnificent lobby, decked with pictures of an unknown man and many tapestries of a symbol you can't put your finger on.

Up the stairs sits a male receptionist, his brunette hair peeking out of his hat and laying still upon his ears. He looks up as if anticipating you to come here as you approach and smiles sheepishly.

"Welcome to the Church of Unitology, you will find everything you wish to know about Unitology here, and I can even give you a tour if you would like," he says through a genuine smile, "my name is Hans, by the way."

You wave your hand and Nolan replies simply with, "If you need assistance, I will be right here waiting for you to return. Altman be praised." You just nod and continue further into the facility.

The halls beyond the lobby are similar, and lit with candles on both sides, brightening the dim hallways with a strange orange glow, brightening the tapestries that flow without wind.

Continuing, you come upon many information booths, set up and complete with holograms next to large dark screens only portraying that same strange symbol from the tapestries. As you walk up to the closest one, you realize they are numbered in order, according to the way they are meant to be seen and heard.

Suddenly, a man in a robe come from the dark corridor ahead and slowly walks to you with a smile on his face, as genuine as the receptionist's. He stops just a few feet from you and holds his arms up in the shape of the symbol on the tapestries and puts them down as he begins speaking to you.

"Welcome, friend, we have awaited you here. My name is Brother Stross, but you may call me Nolan. You seem to be enjoying your visit here, I see." You just shrug and look around at the sites to see. "You must be perplexed, this is the information room, where our visitors come to understand Unitology more fully. Since you are new here, and by the look in your eye, you must be busy doing other things, so take this." Nolan hands you a small metal disc and you just hold it in your open hand for a bit before he begins speaking again. "You may go now. If you have any wonders about this church or Unitology in itself, just play this disc or get into contact with me via the Neural Net. Fairwell, we shall await your return, young one."

Nolan walks away slowly and you find yourself staring at your palm, at the disc that had the symbol on it. Leaving after taking in the sites and walking past the receptionist without a word, you head off to find out more about the disc in peace.

A large information sheet appears as a hologram as you are rubbing your fingers over the engraved symbol over the disc and it shows you much information:

1. The Marker
The Marker is a stone carved of unknown matter, found by Micheal Altman in 789 AS, and is used as our symbol. The Marker is proof that the human race did not start on Earth many millenia ago, but in a distant place known as the Sirius sector. Without this magnificent piece of ancient work created by an unknown race for unknown reasons, we would still be wondering where we have come from. The Marker, carved with ancient runes upon it, tells the story of Convergence. One day, we will welcome the Convergence, thanks to the Marker.
[A flickering image appears, it must be the Marker:]

2. The Convergence
The Convergence is the great event when all of our souls are freed, we are given eternal life through the marker, and are forever made one with all things living. It is best quoted by Micheal Altman himself.
[A voice can be heard, which seems to be that of Altman's:]
"We will be taken by eternal servants and transformed into more eternal servants and our souls freed. Hence WE are the road to eternal bliss." Altman be praised.

3. Unitology en Simple'
Unitology is based around the Marker and Altman's discoveries about the Marker, as well as the truth that we are all one already, but will soon converge once the Marker is activated when the time comes. Our belief is that we are all one, knowing one another thoroughly and comfortably, while also helping out our fellow Unitologists. We hold several events around Sirius space, mainly within New York or other systems we deem needing of an event. Our member roster is posted on our Neural Net address.

4. Why should you join?
We here in the Church of Unitology would love to have you in our wondrous community, we serve drinks and appetizers at regular meetings, and stock a full buffet with our higher ranked members. Joining is simple, and we are a very friendly group who wishes nothing but for our minds to remain unaltered while our bodies matter less so. When you join, you will be awarded with benefits of protection from any source, whether you are a lawful or otherwise. We are all one either way. Altman be praised.

5. How to join
Joining is simple, as simple as going to the grocery store. The only thing we ask is a small fee to keep our beautiful church in order so others may come upon us and explore Unitology themselves. Without you, we would be nothing, and we thank you very much for your donations to our humble community.
To join fully, please send 100.000 credits to our church's bank. [A link is off to the side of this, it shows where to send the credits to: BC13*N.Stross ] For proof, we require a bank statement [//take a pic and pm it to me of you sending it to the said account with timestamp and your name as well as the rank you want, and your new name\\] We thank you for your time and dedication too our humble church.

6. Gaining Rank/Order of Ranks
Gaining rank in our church is as simple as joining. Our newest members will only have access to minimal aid and the basic meetings. Higher ranking members will be able to go to more events through Sirius, may have up to full protection, and may even ask for financial aid from our church. Each rank up costs more credits, but is otherwise not needing of any further requirements except undying loyalty and secrecy. You may skip ranks and skip the lower fees and only have to pay the exact fee of the rank you wish to attain. All higher rankings may have access to everything lower ranks do also, as well as command over all lower rankings. Only Priests and higher may order any meeting and only High Priests and above may order any event.
Ranks are as follows with the fee for each one:
Recruit - 100.000
Fledgling - 200.000
Recruiter - 500.000
Priest - 2.000.000
High Priest - 10.000.000
Sooth Sayer - ▌█▐.▌█▐.▌█▐ (This spot was Micheal Altman's and we keep his place forbidden to none other, although he has since died and past in a tragic accident in 801 AS. Altman be praised.)
