There are sone exceptions to the ARO, spelled out after Godwinson pointed out that they weren't obvious or evident in the then presented wording.
Things like antimatter-nukes, cloning facilities, biological weaponry, etc. are all automatically confiscated but re-imbursed by the Imperial Facility.
Walkers have an open bounty on them by the Imperial Family, where it doesn't matter what you want, they will buy them. With or without your consent.

In doubt there's always the Sun!
Basically think them less a big stompy mech and more as treasure troves, 4 of them means a lot of favor that can spend ensure that the BHV's be un fucked, get high end knight frames if the core's are akenened and cooperative, a lot of founding and material wealth to develop pilgrim controlled industry base, basically boosting our power to be second only to the church of the light on the region.

You know what ever happened to that one random survivor that Needle picked up from before the entire world went to shit? I never saw anything about him other then the fact that we picked him up...
I'm thinking about a write-in to update our buildings with "modern" security/safety features. Emergency lighting, electrically lit-up signs that point to emergency exits, ventilation, etc. Maybe combine smoke detectors/silent alarms with short-range radio tech (once we finish the Rugged Radios project) to inform other Pilgrim buildings in the same city when something goes wrong.
The Poorhouse incident would have gone differently if Pilgrim guards from the local hospice/soup kitchen would have shown up during it.
Ah, then probably the giant, black skeletons.
Joy. You know, Tessen has five Knight-Chapters listed as being stationed in this region. All of this sounds like even the resources of the entire region would fail against those dug in and prepared Walkers.You need a Knight-Chapter to kill them in a prepared open field where the entire Chapter can manoeuver!
You have the pleasure to fight them in CQC within a prepared killing field!
Sand is impractical for sudden, big, and widespread fires like what happens due to firebombs. Water is also not really optimal against oil-based bombs.
But having a bunch of those fire extinguishers might have prevented the guards from panicking and running out into the firing lines of the Watchers. Really, a smoke bomb could have changed that situation a lot.
I'm not sure he would be willing to spend resources in excess of what an entire region has on dealing with a problem that isn't active yet and might not get hostile at all if ignored.
We currently lack a Martial Action to spend on this anyway, but we could consult the Forge-Clans on how to best infiltrate the bunker and hopefully reach the Command Center. They should have a very good idea about how dangerous the various robots are and how far-reaching the influence of the Command Center could be.
That would be our second (and I think final?) specialization for Norqod. I'm tempted by the Airship Trade Anchor And Depot; to synergize with the cultural developments we have and to spread them quickly across the empire.
We can attack any room we want so we can hit the command center first.
Ahh, so a OSHA tech? I don't know if that's an option or something we already do automatically. @HeroCooky would safety protocols like fire escapes and alarms be something that we have to research or something that we have to build?
We can take all specializations iirc, its just that they have less of an impact over the image and feel of the town the more we build.

He got snatched by the Internal Security after they realized that he was a survivor.
Against them, dug in? Absolutely.
On the open field? Dice roll.
There's a reason the Imperial Family yoinks all Walkers and functional components from the people, even against their will. A piloted Walker like Big Sister and Emperor Elianus could kill most/nearly all of the Chapters in Tessen on their own.
Its what people have, so its what people use. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Something you can build (I'll put the option up later), due to your "What Was, Will Be" Tenet. There's a lot of things you don't need to research due to that, and only need an impetus to create that stuff.

Once again, it proves its worth as our most valuable tenet.

"These rules are written in blood."
There probably is some form of safety standard already in place, but well... we didn't have electric lamps in our buildings until we spent an Action on it. I doubt stuff like illuminated emergency exit signs or anti-smoke ventilation is part of that standard.
Maybe we could look into something like a sprinkler system? Getting the required water flow could be difficult and it probably shouldn't be automated to avoid false triggers.
That's good to hear.
Ok, so the first draft of a plan. I probably going to change something to add the OSHA project later.
But first, something I noticed while writing the draft up.
@HeroCooky this shouldn't be locked, right?

Unlocked it.
Oh, and sprinklers will be within the safety-package. You have the reason and drive to shill out the money for that right now.

Blergh, the Faith Action choice is a nightmare. These Rules Are Written In Blood is really good and we can afford it, but we also owe House Ulatarn and a new 'Consensual' would be the best way to get anyone, that escaped from the DOR, off the streets.
Edit: Changed the Faith Actions and switched We Are Legion for From The Brink. We can finish a new 'Consensual' in one Turn and I hope House Ulatarn will be understanding about things going a bit slower due to all the chaos.
Also changed the Followers Of Light Action to For The Nation - (Build An Orphanage). I have the sneaking suspicion Ularn might need one after all that fighting.
Edit2: Switched the new 'Consensual' for the House Ulatarn favor and changed the Followers Of Light Action again.

- Diplomacy keeps working on the BHVs
- Martial hunts the Watchers in two different fashions
- Learning finishes the pesticides, starts on radios(faster communication!), and starts+finishes Electric Guardians(the Autonomous Turret seems fitting)
- Archeology scouts a new area because I don't have the Boni to salvage another airship and I'm curious about what attacked the other scavengers
- Holdings does the first half of Schooling Incentives and finishes the Palace Expansion
- Aria relaxes because we want her at her best once we go after the Watchers
- Martyris hunts all the Watchers
Edit: Changed the Faith Actions and switched We Are Legion for From The Brink. We can finish a new 'Consensual' in one Turn and I hope House Ulatarn will be understanding about things going a bit slower due to all the chaos.

I think we should take it, if only for the huge Piety boost. Especially since we are not raising it with a Hero Action.
@HeroCooky Does We are Legion carry Political Consequences?

I can confirm that this will work.
"Aah, an EMP, eh? Gotta get some of the ol' screw-heads on diggin' up the blueprints, but we can do that."
(Retroactive Item: No Up-Front Charge, 5 Material per used Grenade as decided by either the Thread pre-battle or the QM in-battle.)
Likely. Or maybe not? Who could say, there are arguments for and against such happening.
Could we change this to something else? I'd rather not do this until we have an actual reason to.

I say we do it, since it gets our piety back up and its bonus will decrease if we don't immediately take it.

That is a mood I didn't knew I needed right now!
I could change that, probably to From The Brink, but the whole subversion thing is an inherent part of Doctrine of the Second Life.
Then the only question left would be what to do with the second Action. A new 'Consensual' to get people off the street or the Rudimentary Territorial Hospices to get the political favor out of the way?

Question can wee proceed in absorbing the lost before it blow ip on our faces?
Yeah while its a meme here implying that we are the tech muchkins hippie, this is couldn't be futher from the truth. I think the more accurate cultural picture pf a seriotipical pilgrim would be an low class person with well made work cloating and a speadsheed talking about some cultural taboo as a mater of fact thing while proposing se buisness venture, and the worst of all the math is good.
while the pilgramage military is a small milita with high end gear because of course they are premier tech scavangers on the region.
