Independent journalist Gethin Okonkwo has shared more details about his time with the Far God cult:
“After three months of living as a Far God worshipper, I’m now acclimatising to life as an ordinary citizen. There, I was known only as Third Witness of the Tenth Chapter, although that was more of a title than a name. Identical in our robes, we were all nameless servants of the commune.”
“That may sound despotic, but there was a strangely seductive aspect to surrendering one’s identity. At times I almost experienced the tranquillity that true adherents seemed to feel.”
“I’m relieved to see Far God believers returning to their hive-chapels, having survived weeks of persecution. This has been a baptism of fire for the sect, with hundreds dead and several chapters still missing.”
“Many other doomsayer cults have since faded away or, like the Church of Eternal Void, been outlawed. But it seems that the Far God faith will endure, perhaps even beyond our conflict with the Thargoids.”
“I have been contacted by the exotheologian Dr Alfred Ulyanov with a view to combining our research. Together we hope to produce the definitive account of this tenacious religion.”

独立记者Gethin Okonkwo分享了他与the Far God邪教的更多细节:
“之前我以the Far God教徒的身份生活了3个月，现在我开始适应普通公民的生活。”在那里，人们只知道我是第十教会（ the Tenth Chapter）的第三个见证人，尽管那与其说是一个名字，不如说是一个头衔。我们穿着一样的长袍，都是公社无名的仆人，信徒。
“这听起来可能有些专制，但放弃自己的身份却有一种奇怪的诱人之处。有时，我几乎体验到了真正的追随者所能感受到的平静。”
"看到远神的信徒们在经历了数周的迫害后回到他们的小教堂，我松了一口气。这对该教派来说是一场火的洗礼，有数百人死亡，还有几个分教会仍然缺失。"
“此后，许多末日预言家邪教逐渐消失，或者像“永恒的虚空教会”(Church of Eternal Void)那样被取缔。但似乎the Far God的信仰会持续下去，甚至可能在我们与Thargoids的冲突结束后持续下去。”
“外太空神学家Alfred Ulyanov博士联系了我，希望能将我们的经历与调查结合起来。我们共同希望能对这一信仰坚定的宗教作出明确的阐释。”
