Meet Testament: the premier caretaker android for the future. Not only were they designed to care for the wellbeing of dozens of interstellar passengers; explorers- scientists- poets- and artists - they have also downloaded millennia of religious texts and liturgies to best serve the members of a religious commune that make up the bulk of their human charges. These members of the Order of the Abundant Grace of the Cosmic Christ- having already chosen a monastic and scholarly life- are ideal for their mission: a one-way voyage to discover all they can about a miraculous far-flung planet capable of life and- by choice- not repopulate. Soon- only Sister Judith remains on the distant planet- facing decades of life alone with her caretaker and no other human company. Struggling with faith and despair- she seeks purpose- or perhaps something else- in a sudden research trip into hazardous territory. Testament tries to carry out their directives- while staring down their own immortality- and questioning their place in a spiritual infinity equipped with the knowledge and traditions of people who could never have imagined a being like them.
