	The most important thing for a cultist is '''entropy'''. ~~Easiest~~ way to obtain it, and the only one available to you from the start, is your '''Siphon Entropy''' ability.

Note, however, that the target '''must be alive''' – if they are dead, the ability will not work, and if they are in critical condition, the process will kill them instantly, granting you much more entropy.

	Once enough cultists reach the final stage, '''the Monument''' can be beckoned anywhere on the station. Doing so requires at least half of the cult to select the same spot. Once The Monument is manifested, '''The Beckoning''' can begin. A cultist must awaken the Monument by interacting with it. Once this is done, the station's alert level will be set to '''Octarine''', and the monument's location will be revealed to everyone. The beckoning lasts 10 minutes, but can be accelerated significantly by ~~bringin~~ crewmembers in critical ~~condiiton~~ to the Monument – position one near the Monument and activate it, which will rip their mind out, turning them into what is essentially a ghost, and speeding up the Beckoning by 40 seconds. If the beckoning is stopped, the soul will return into the body, and if not... well, they would die anyway.

	Should the Beckoning complete, the station is all but doomed – the cult's god, '''The Unknown''', will enter realspace. Nobody knows what happens next – all that's known is that ~~shotrly~~ after The Unknown's appearance, anything in a 17 parsec radius simply ceases to exist.
