	When Rev. Waterhouse's wanderings brought him through New Romulus, he managed to sweet talk his way into an audience with ~~the~~ Empress Janika Selok and left her curious about his unusual faith. After agreeing to let him paint her portrait, she dispatched Vaebnak to learn more about the ~~pastafarians~~. He was in Clew Bay when the coup occurred on New Romulus, and has not heard anything other than what the Federation and the New Romulan Star Empire have released through official channels. He's resigned himself to being stuck on Earth for the foreseeable future, but that resignation has certainly started to manifest in some anger as he continues to try to reach out looking for anyone he can trust to help him navigate the power change and determine if he can go home.

 Fast forward to the 24th century, and Pastafarianism was going strong but it had changed. Over the centuries humanity had gotten better about stopping their bigotry and a lot of the laws and societal problems the church pushed back against weren't enough to keep the pirates busy anymore. Humanity also reached the stars and met other species. The church splintered into mainly two groups as a result:
-One group leaned into the pirate lore, forming crews of people who dressed up much like the old Hollywood movies portrayed pirates. They purchased ships—both tall sailing ships on earth's oceans and spaceships—or land surrounding bays on islands near earth's equator to build into cities modeled after Nassau as portrayed in the "historical" series Black Sails, and formed communities that leaned into all the romanticized glory of pirate life: sword fighting, rum, every person their own boss, and high adventure. Sea Shanties sung, rum drunk, and pasta eaten on Fridays, and art often portrayed the Flying Spaghetti Monster. When people elected to become ordained ministers, they would take on a name inspired by the famous pirates of old — real and fictional alike. The post scarcity society of the Federation made this lifestyle pretty easy to achieve.
+One group leaned into the pirate lore, forming crews of people who dressed up much like the old Hollywood movies portrayed pirates. These were informally called Silvers, after Long John Silver from the book Treasure Island.

-The other group leaned more into faith and service. Where the first group was often a mix of ordained ministers and followers, this group was largely ministers who would wander and spread the noodley word to any who would listen, and do good deeds as they needed doing without expectation that those they helped would need to listen to a sermon to get it. Their dress was more humble and based in the historical fact of the golden age of piracy, practical garments with lines and finishing in line with what was actually worn during the tall ship era. They also would learn trades that would better enable them to help others, ranging from carpentry and engineering, creative pursuits such as writing, music, and physical arts, or more academic and skill based things like medicine and law.
+The other group leaned more into faith and service, becoming known as Durums after the wheat traditionally used to make the flour used for Italian style pasta such as spaghetti.

-The two groups had overlap, and the second group would often stop over to visit their more flashy counter parts, or even travel with them when their paths were pointed in the same direction for a spell, but the perspectives of the two groups were different enough that they were hard pressed to find common ground outside of sharing pasta and rum on Fridays.
