ArgentaThe confessor is covered head to toe in jewellery. Even her nails are gilded, and her smile reveals teeth inlaid with mother-of-pearl. "Great Beacon, our glorious master/mistress!"
YOU"Are you the new ship's confessor?"
Argenta"Confessor Arabella Bolint, Your Lordship/Ladyship, of the Calixian Lesser Bolints. It is an honour to be welcomed aboard your vessel. You may entrust me with your crew, for I am a lifelong missionary and preceptor. I was drawn to serving the faith from a young age, and I have been fortunate enough to have studied under some of the most doctrinally rigorous mentors in the Expanse."

YOU"How are you enjoying your new position?"
Argenta"Here, away from all those austere priests, I feel liberated. The canons are strict: they only take, and give nothing in return." She touches her heavy adornments lovingly. "I much prefer my present circumstances."

YOU"How will the spiritual life of the vessel change?"
Argenta"I have shortened some less significant parts of my sermons, such as the ones that talked about all the various saints, and instead put a greater focus on explaining Your Lordship/Ladyship's divine nature as the master/mistress of the Warrant who commands our destinies." The confessor smiles obsequiously.

Argenta"My predecessor was a heretic, and only the Emperor knows how many blasphemous thoughts he managed to instil in the minds of his congregation. I will start from nothing, as if I were arriving on a world unfamiliar with the Creed, and from there I will rebuild the citadel of faith aboard this vessel. Within one year, you will be surrounded by the righteous."

Servants of the Ecclesiarchy must stand together in this grim hour, and news of your pious deeds, loudly proclaimed, will contribute to this. Let our faith unite us in the face of the trials ahead."

Argenta"Never before have I served on a ship, but the faith in Him must be uniform and consistent with the Creed in every place, must it not? I see much unorthodoxy in the life of the voidsmen, but by the Emperor's grace, I will rekindle the light of His teachings until it banishes the shadows from your subjects' hearts."

Argenta"Where a heretic once preached, the Imperial Creed now thunders as before! It fills my heart with a joy almost as deep as that of fighting His foes." Argenta exchanges a look of pious resolve with the confessor.
