Pastoral Outreach Associate
A junior Inquisition operative running community-facing 'spiritual engagement' that is really infiltration and intelligence-gathering.
Overview
A young operative in understated civilian clothes — a dark jacket with barely visible NCC lining, hood pulled low. A compact data-pad for copying seized records. A concealed neural disruptor on the belt. A small silver crucifix-trademark pendant at the collar is the only visible affiliation. Furtive posture, weight on the balls of the feet, already planning the exit route.
Their primary value is expendability — an Associate caught infiltrating an Emergence Faithful cell can be disavowed as a rogue seminary student, and most carry no Church identification in the field. They catalogue everything: tithe records, membership lists, schedules, personal devices. The intelligence is always more valuable than the confrontation.

Pastoral Outreach Associates have been assigned to trace audit proceedings involving deceased Emergence Faithful members — the NCC's position is that a deceased believer's posthumous Revenant constitutes an unconsecrated soul requiring pastoral presence; the Associates attend in civilian clothes, log the proceedings, and file theological incident reports; their data is the primary source for the Corrections Ministry's ongoing eleven-month complaint draft
Directs Associates, Specialists, and senior agents as the working members of the cell.
