Knowledge Web

"All right. First of all. It is not a 'godbond'. Do not call it a 'godbond'. It's heretical and inaccurate and really annoys me. It is a knowledge web.

"Second of all. My order's workings are none of your business. You wouldn't understand it anyway because you're all godless imbeciles, and I have better things to do with my time."

If Weft's contribution above hasn't answered all your questions, this is the lowdown on Expressors of Agape with Compassion's knowledge web.

• A way to get knowledge directly into any monk's head
• Possessed by ALL members who've completed training
• Always 'on' at a low level
• More complete absorption is accessed through a prayer/meditation trance state
• Used to issue instructions; an agent always knows what he is meant to be doing (thus the trademark self-assurance)
• Used by field agents prior to a job, to assimilate all pertinent info on the place/people in question
• Knowledge gained this way does not enter long-term memory except for a few bits that might get transferred to normal memory. They seem to forget most things after a job.
• Only works with knowledge: for example, anything requiring physical training obviously can't be learned, except in theory
