Worship is an operation outcome
The sponsoring organization must have an actual foothold in the claimed territory and must publicly worship the guest. Allied support alone is not enough. The operation must be open and allow at least four player characters. It must be scheduled at least two days ahead with speed 5 or higher.
A higher power can sign up for its own worship or attack operation without normal society deployment settings. It cannot join unrelated operation goals or another higher power's event. Bribing an operation cannot substitute for the required victory.

Remake or banishment
Three successful worship operations unlock a Tier 4 remake. Five unlock Tier 5. Redeeming retires the guest and consumes all accumulated progress. A successful attack resets worship and banishes the guest for 30 real days. It cannot act or redeem a remake while banished.
Cortex always opposes all higher powers. A saved affiliation or a new command cannot turn that into worship.
guest remake t4 <new name>- Redeem an eligible T4 remake.
guest remake t5 <new name>- Redeem an eligible T5 remake.
