A home for the arm

I received some good news. The lost arm of St. Gennareus that I was able to recover in Aridia has been certified as genuine by the Theology Council's department of relics. It only took them four months.

Of course I do not get it back to use it for any of LUMEN's chapels or churches. It is not up to me to decide where the relic should go. 

Revered relics bestow a special honor to the cathedral or monastery that possess them. Historically, it is not unheard of that relics get stolen from one cathedral only to reappear in another one.

The arm will find a home in a cathedral on Kador prime, close to St. Gennareus' place of birth. What I get is my name on a plaque close to the relic. I think I will go visit. And bring along my political officer to show him this example of the benefits and good results of my explorations.
