aberrantangelsI had an entry I was working on for N-Day, but it keeps growing and growing.
I don't know whom this office is attached to, but based on "extensive intelligence work and the reports of trusted operatives", it deems the Michaelites "one of the most dangerous of the NARs (Nova-Associated Religions)", with at least 4,350 members and 11,600 sympathizers, and with firearm ownership rates 2.2 to 3.4 times above the local per capita. "The apparent disorder of the cult's organization indicates the presence of sophisticated planners.... We believe that the cult's operational center is, in decreasing order of probability, in Austin, Texas; Coeur d'Alain [sic], ID or rural Montana."
(In private email, quoted [like the executive summary quoted above] in Aberrant: Church of Michael Archangel, one "Alan" says simply "This is so inadmissible. Get me an insider, not more of your nutbar 'operatives' and their magical espionage shopping carts.")
We don't really get a good sense of where the Church came from or when. The Aberrant Storytellers Handbook should probably cover that. (Maybe we could emulate the VII book and offer multiple theories?)
