Descriptive
Reconstructionists are one of the off-shoot successors of The Brotherhood of the Six. They are one of the smaller, radical splinter cells.
Cult members are apparently encouraged to take on new names, and absolve themselves of their old life. It is entirely unclear what the process of this involves, but may require signing over all personal assets to the cult. Known to use aggressive recruitment tactics.
Reconstructionist scripture includes the statement "(The Cube shall) be delivered from the faithless hands of the Academics." In short, their profound belief is that the cube is a great religious item, and must be liberated.
There exists considerable speculation, both in Perplex City and on Earth, about the legitimacy of the Reconstructionist's intentions, and any possible involvement in the theft of the The Receda Cube. Although no formal ties can be found, an investigation is under way.
Reconstructionist formal garb includes long robes, worn at such times as lectures. Their daily life involves Meditation, and Farming. They posess at least one farm, which is situated away from the city. Isolation is desired by the Reconstructionists.
