Verified follow-up and entry
The temporary +5 additional quality from this delivery lasts until the next sermon-report window opens. Opening that report withdraws the same five-point increment; closing it is a different event.
The script then compares the current zombie count with total quality and recalculates the Excessive Zombies penalty. It can add or remove that penalty according to the comparison; removing the bonus does not guarantee that the penalty disappears.
Related steps and operations
Keep the current objective’s requirements, earlier access conditions and other control locks. These are bounded configuration/script findings, not a saved-game test or certification of the full activation chain.
Further results of this step
Adds 5 to the resurrection area’s additional quality, increasing the quality used for its zombie limit. This does not create zombies.
Then checks the current zombie count against the integer total quality of the resurrection area. If the count is at or below that limit, the excessive-zombie penalty is removed; otherwise it is applied.
