Marina Czevak believed that<span style="font-style: italic">agape</span>love was the only true God, so she didn't call what she was doing a<span style="font-style: italic">prayer</span>, she called it 'communications. She didn't call what she was building 'shrines', either, but rather an 'interplananr communications centre'. What was the purpose of communications and the comm facility, one may ask? Simple, to establish contact with the Prothean 'Gods' in order to gain further help in the war.<br/><br/>She reviewed what she knew from Prothean legends; apparently, the 'Gods' were situated in the plane of Yu-Shan, the Prothean's version of 'heaven'. Said 'Gods' were also a corrupt bureaucracy that used distilled prayer/communications as currency. As a Spiritual but not Religious, Marina found that idea...troubling. Anyway, her shrines/communicators created and improved said currency...<br/><br/>...allowing her to send a straight flow of it to Yu-Shan. This flow was directed to Ahlat, the Varren God of War and well, Varren, along with a plea for him to bless the armies of the Systems Alliance and Turian Hierarchy. Another interplanar comm device/shrine was directed to the loathesome entity Ryazala, Goddess of Paperwork and Bureaucracy, promising her a comm device as big as a city if she would make the Citadel Leaders less obstructive.<br/><br/>For a moment, Marina remembered something about Sidereals being tasked with making sure 'Heaven' ran smoothly and that unauthorized prayers/communications stayed forbidden, but she shook the thought aside; after all, they've got a Sidereal with them, right? And besides, desperate times called for deseprate measures, and any rule that delayed Justice for Earth was no rule she lived by.<br/><br/>Anyway, if the comm to Ryazala didn't work (She was known to love obstructive bureaucrats), Marina would open up comms to the 'Gods' of Luck, Health, and Peace, with a special comm to the last asking for peace between Quarians and Geth, Krogan and Salarian, and Krogan and Turian. She would also consume fruits and other offerings in fire, which, by the way, was not 'offering sacrifices', as she did not believe the 'Gods' were Gods, but rather transmitting materials to another plane...
