The Edict preaches:
Peace lies in silence and meditation, but freedom is found in strength and the power to share the Edict.
Truth is illuminated in isolation, and rejecting the word is rejecting existence itself.
Ignorance is tolerable, but to deny the truth once revealed is an offense beyond forgiveness.
Proselytization, then, becomes more than a gift to the unknowing, it is a demand. To spread the Edict is both a duty and a sacred burden. Those who resist find themselves gently, but persistently, reshaped. Through manipulation, isolation from family and dissenting voices, and the warmth of ones group , the reluctant are lifted toward “illumination.” To the Gospel’s faithful, this process is compassion incarnate and a necessary salvation. To the outside observer, it is something more insidious.
Those who embrace the Edict fully and those who uplift others and break the cycle of ignorance are granted the greatest reward: the opportunity to walk upon the First World, to stand where Kzon’s form lies dormant, and to bask in theirs ultimate truth.
In the Gospel’s eyes, this is not conquest. It is love, unrelenting and absolute.
