Simguru Pranav Antal announced completion of the community goal to preserve the Sim-Archive, and his plans to eventually digitize human consciousness. Guardian expert, Ram Tah, thanked the community for the Guardian artefacts contributed to his research, which will lose its funding soon. Maybe those who seek to digitize human consciousness should support research into Guardian relics, a now dead culture which appears to have developed artificial intelligence. Potential funding could from the Bulwark Project, a non-Aegis 'initiative to develop autonomous military hardware' to combat the Thargoid menace. Shadow President Felicia Winters claims the Bulwark Project is not attempting to create prohibited artificial intelligence, despite the rising criticism from Imperial commentators. Imperial Senator Gianna Tachibana criticizes the entire response to the Thargoid threat to date, claiming that mankind has been 'reactive, rather than proactive'. While the human experience with artificial intelligence has been lost to a past more cloudy than the history of the Guardians, this Imperial commentator profoundly hopes that the powers refrain from opening the pandora's box of artificial intelligence, especially when the warning provided by Ram Tah's Guardian historical research cannot be more clear, specifically, the 'Information Age' and the wars that followed.

On the political front, four powers are attempting to expand their influence, and it appears that Prime Minister Edmund Mahon and Princess Aisling Duval are most likely to succeed. Though with the way the Federal Unified Command has been leveraging their workforce, anything could happen in the last 24 hours of this week's news cycle.

Due to the Shadow President's Expansion in Akuntsu, the Shield of Justice has no expansion this week, though there are combat targets on the cycle priorities sheet. In order to have a useful expansion next week, Research suggests that commanders loyal to the Emperor deliver corruption reports to Legendre Terminal or Napier City in Kutenis. Establishing a garrison in Kutenis will hurt the Federal Liberal Party's efforts in Ida Dhor's sphere of influence.

And finally, overt undermining operations are showing a few systems pledged to the Emperor under threat, with more reports due to arrive over the next 24 hours. Research expects a couple more distant systems to see criminal activity, but calls for heavy haulers to focus on the systems listed on the cycle priorities sheet. The best use of our time now is to secure our best systems against potential threat.

Good luck and Godspeed commanders.
