Eesh, this is a hard one. This is basically the mission statement of the exalters. You're reading their press promo, more or less. This is just the cohort description, and it's written as if you found it on their website. It is different from the rest of the game, though, which is maybe a problem. Shifting it to the voice of the machine intelligence would lose the voice of the religion, but perhaps that's actually for the best, since that would be more consistent with... every other part of the game.

The way it is now makes perfect sense now that you've pointed out that this is a sidebar explaining the faction, and not the AI ruminating over the choice. However, I was also initially confused until I realized that.
If you change THIS one, it would be prudent to change all the other sidebar description to be in the AIs voice rather than that factions voice, for consistency.

Maybe all the "codex" tooltips should be in the AIs voice. It does jive with the rest of the game, in that you are an unreliable narrator to yourself (the player), with all the concomitant biases and blind spots. So maybe having any sort of "objective" reference even in bonus info such as this breaks the intended experience a bit.

I'm not sure what the best approach is, but whatever it ends up being it should be consistent.

Well, everything in the entire game is in the AI's voice except for the settings menu, and then now the cohorts info. So these really should be brought in line with the rest of the game.

Kara has hit all of these, although some of them may need further edits.
