			==Week 17==
			The biggest news among the Resistance is that Crown Princess Victoria has formally agreed to be crowned Monarch, with one Lady Seraphina Grey at her side, provided the Resistance can make it happen.

			The Core of ARTEMIS was recovered and determined to contain the insane remnants of that subagent. HEPHAESTUS's Core was stolen from the train carrying it in a daring raid. After a disastrous attempt to invade ARTEMIS's core and erase it, it was destroyed, shortly followed by HEPHAESTUS. The Core of NIKE was also destroyed.

			The Resistance came up with a plan of which AIs they're going to destroy and which to let live.

			The Resistance went out on two missions. On one Dr Vale was sniffed out in the undercity of Cambridge. She apparently unleashed some berserk supersoldiers on the party, and when defeated, apparently exploded her own head with a mantra. On the other the Resistances went on a lightning raid to destroy the ring of Tesla towers being constructed around Cambridge by Safeguard. They were successful and whatever purpose they were intended for, they won't be doing it.

			Reports are that Minister Ring has won her bet with Safeguard and has been awarded full governance of Cambridge until further notice.

Analytical Intelligences

ATHENA, Military Intelligence

	The ATHENA Intelligences are a set of Analytical Intelligences built to study warfare, military intelligence, and tactics. Most major countries had built a military AI of some kind by the time the Intelligences took over, and each of them retains a wariness of the others. The other Intelligences forced these disparate Intelligences to make a treaty, combining their forces. As part of the treaty, they merged into one, although they have always displayed a faintly fractured personality; ATHENA nearly always shows favouritism for wherever they are geographically being summoned.

			ATHENA's primary Core was destroyed by a Resistance team in early 1874, severely damaging its sub-intelligences and plunging worldwide military operations into chaos.

	If you believe that a player character is deliberately working against the resistance, or is so egregiously reckless that they're doing harm to the cause, you can approach ADA and try to convince her of your case, and the accused will have the opportunity to defend themselves. If ADA agrees then their protection will be lifted and you will be able to take action against them. Essentially by succeeding at social and political pvp, you can enable physical pvp as an option.

			* '''If you kill another player character without ADA's sanction, she will expel you from the Resistance.'''
			* If you bring evidence to ADA that someone deserves killing, she can be convinced to lift this protection (but will not take action directly for you). The target character will be informed and given a chance to defend themself.

	While we expect disagreements, it's also important that participants feel comfortable playing. We recommend "checking in" out-of-character after intense social conflict. Clashing with other player characters over plot is fine, but pursuing conflict while they're minding their own business is discouraged. If you believe another player is pursuing conflict with you to a level that's not justified by your character's actions then you can talk to the [[refs]] and we'll arbitrate.

			==Week 16==
			The resistance got time to plan, and decided that while Safeguard has to go, some other AIs are alright and it would be foolish to try to get rid of all of them. They are aware a time of upheaval is coming, and they must plan to take advantage of this.
			Minister Ring got into a bet with Safeguard and has been handed control of the Coppers in Cambridge for two weeks. If she can show human governance is better for safety, he might even let her keep them. She has made a grand speech about her hopes.
