	As Zoe Graystone perfected her resurrection program, a movement parallel to the technical achievement was occurring in the spiritual world. Inspired by Graystone's achievement Zoe's mentor, Sister [[Clarice Willow]], saw the potential for life after death in the Virtual World as a religious opportunity. Dissatisfied with the monotheist movement as it stood and the actions of the [[Monad Church]], Willow believed the program would serve as a lightning rod that would unite the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol\|Twelve Worlds]] under the "One True God." Willow called this "'''Apotheosis'''" and rallied many of the [[Soldiers of the One]] of {{RDM\|Caprica}} in its pursuit ({{CAP\|Pilot (Caprica)~~}}, "[[~~Reins of a Waterfall~~]]," "[[~~Know Thy Enemy~~]]," "[[~~End of Line~~]]," "[[~~Unvanquished~~]]," "[[~~Retribution~~]]," "[[~~False Labor~~]]")~~.

	Encountering resistance to the notion of Apotheosis from many among the STO on Caprica—including rival cell leader [[Barnabas Greeley\|Barnabas Greeley—]]Willow presented her idea to the monotheist conclave on [[Gemenon]]. There she produced a [[holoband]] simulation that depicted the bombing of [[Atlas Arena]] in [[Caprica City]] by members of the STO and their subsequent rebirth in a virtual heaven. Projecting the casualties of such an act in the tens of thousands, Willow described only a chosen few—those who had rejected the prevailing [[The Lords of Kobol\|polytheist]] beliefs—living on. In an age, Willow said, in which myth and mystery had been replaced by science, the monotheist church would be the only religious movement capable of providing a tangible and assured afterlife {{CAP\|Unvanquished}}.
