Chaplain blessed Firebots, Floorbots, Cleanbots, The eyebots of 2562

I've been playing some Tale of Two Wastelands recently, and I've got some appreciation for the humble Eyebot

It acts as a mini avatar of the enclave, repeating their doctrine and being friendly to the player unless the line is crossed with their master. E.D.E. is great in New Vegas and Lonesome Road
The same could be done with Chaplains blessing firebots, floorbots clean bots, and transform them into sanctified water dispensing variants of the chaplain bot.
There would be a few differences between the sanctified and regular versions. Firstly, the name kind of gives it away, it's the domain of the chaplain, that means it is his ID that locks/unlocks their control panel, and the chaplain who would be responsible for upgrades.The water and tiles dispensed would be blessed, for whatever ethereal jaunt or cult effect that has. These bots would actively attack station threats, like minebots currently do, and especially halo'd cultists and constructs. Associated with each bot would be a few reaction dialogues specific to a religion. So a line when putting out a fire, extinguishing a player, laying down tiles, attacking a cultist, cleaning floors, replacing a broken tile with a new one. These expanded dialogue options could be gotten by default by choosing one of the existing religions, and the character preference tab could be expanded so players can have a make their own religion with unique dialogue.
This would add a new layer of story telling to the game. There could be a few ways to expand it too. Like having a built in station bounced radio, that is by default on both settings. So as it passes through it brings radio, even if comms are brought down. There could be an upgrade making its station bounced radio unjammable as well. There is a potential for custom sprites for different religions of bots.
