Temple of a God
Begin Transmission,
They serve a multitude of functions. One of which is to house a large source of nanites for their particular god or pantheon. As such a follower or representative; dependent on the laws and tenets of god/country, can direct nearby nanites to heal the injured or sick. Of course this depends on if they know the power comes from nanites. But that will be explored more in the technology section.
Temples differ from the body in that they have more space to house nanites without causing issues. Too many nanites in a body and they interfere with the natural processes. With the building the nanites can reside in a basement or as the building itself. Therefore if someone injured is in need of assistance, a source of nanites is nearby.
Caretakers see an increased supply of nanites for use than the general public. This is either due to the selection process to be a caretaker or to high saturation of nanites in the workplace.
It is rumored and speculated that temples cannot house more nanites than the local area can support. One school of thought believes that either the God Council or the Angel of Death dictated rules for the nanite population. The other school believes that nanites are supported by the bodies and work of the followers.
We have been unable to confirm which school is right as the gods are not forthcoming on their limitations. What we do know is information found from the landing. It states that those from the colony ship Orphan figured out that housing people in a designated temple passively healed them. They tried to expand the temple to house all of their people. What they found was that the effect ceased. One document indicates that they were getting worse not better from being in the same building.
Further experimentations will have to come into effect.
