But then the monks found me, and helped me. No matter What happens, it’s thrilling to know that we’ll be the ones to experience the next stage of evolution. No need for crude starships any more - we’ll be able to soar through space ourselves. Will we keep our human bodies, or will we be given new forms so we can function in the Far God’s dimension? I’ve sometimes wondered if the flower-ships might once have been human - maybe people from escape pods taken by the Thargoids. But our Herald assured me that the automatic systems will wake us up as soon as It manifests. It’s a shame in a way, as I wanted to be conscious to witness the Far God’s arrival. Now we’re at the stage when we can enter suspended animation. It couldn’t be worse than what I’ve been through. i thought we were going to the hive-chapel but instead we came here. I’m ready for the peace the Far God will bring. But for so many of my friends to have suffered at the hands of the ignorant and fearful…it sickens me. When the Far God comes, we will experience a glorious rebirth that will elevate us to a higher plane. I’m not afraid of death because I know it isn’t the end. They burned our hive-chapel to the ground. I’ve been ready for a long time, actually, but the fasting and the trials have left me feeling lighter…purer. Now I worship something real – something powerful.

I wasted many years on false religions and hollow human faiths. I have instructed my fellow adherents to record their last words as they prepare for the crypts, in the hope that other be inspired to join us. In this sacred void-temple we willingly entomb ourselves, to preserve our souls until the Far God comes. On that day, humanity will be destroyed, but we who have heeded the truth will ascend, and be transformed. What the ignorant refer to as Thargoids are in truth the heralds of the Far God, preparing us for its manifestation. Know that our galaxy lies in the shadow of this omniscient and most holy being. The messages have audio, and are in the form of ‘last messages’ from members of the Far God cult. Low level materials can be found around The Prophet, but not The Sanctum. The Sanctum has messages 1-4, and The Prophet has messages 5-9. The settlements form a pair, as there are nine messages available from them, numbered 1 through 9. They have permanent navigation markers (earlier settlements needed to be scanned before you could see them in the Navigation panel of your ship). They were found via the Eagle Eye messages in week 26, the first time that new settlements were found by Eagle Eye. They have both been attacked by Thargoids, and Thargoids are seen around the settlements. They appear to have been run by the Far God cult. This pair of planetary settlements can be found on Etain 4 a and Etain 4 c.
