[X] Plan: Choir and Save An Action
-[X] Federation will concede Yivv system and offer Choirs to train and build up the Shipwrights' psyker institution (namely teaching them navigation) in exchange for the following concessions.
--[X] Try to bargain down the number of Choirs involved in the teaching mission to 10.
--[X] Federation gains access to enough Arumite for study and research.
--[X] Preaching rights
--[X] Cultural Exchange between the Federation and the Alliance.
-[X] Federation withdraws the offer to directly assist in reconstruction.
-[X] Create an Official Donation Drive for the affected people of Sub-Sector 621. (No Action Cost)
[X] Plan: Opportunity Knocks
-[X] Well, that makes a lot of sense, cards on the table, we do have an interest in the Auramite, but it's hardly existential for us, in light of your requirements, we're willing to cede Yivv to you, though we would like access to some down the line for our studies. We'll still send you the aid though, we've little desire in seeing someone who's halfway reasonable fall apart.
-[X] That being said, given the danger of Psykers and our own success at developing a functioning paradigm, we're willing to commit to establishing a school to to teach what we can. Full out sending twenty choirs into the territory of someone we just met is a bit much, but we Are willing to commit a similar number to instruction within one of our held systems in 621 if you're willing to reciprocate with any insights you and your allies hold.
--[X] In short, commit to establishing a University that deals in Psionics and Advanced Knowledge within 621, with the suggestion that we're willing to share what we know with the other parties if they reciprocate in kind. That this is also a chance to start getting some Social Engineering going on while also defusing potential Chaos resources is just an added bonus. Making it one of our systems in reach of them (And implicitly where they can keep half an eye on it) rather than deep in our territory where they might start worrying about never seeing anyone again.
-[X] Float the idea that we're not necessarily unwilling to lend out Choirs and pathfinding ships on a case by case basis in the future, but that's not exactly on the table right this second barring a major upset. A hundred and fifty years away from their people for someone we just met is a bit much.
--[X] TL;DR: Let them have the Auramite if they need it that badly, we'll leverage that unexpected withdrawal without getting petty about it to hopefully get a favorable deal that hopefully gets us access to a bit of it anyway and hopefully knocks their borders loose for our preachers. As a separate thing, offer the Psyker training they want, but hopefully leverage the goodwill gained here to retain control of the subsequent schoo and access to any tech insights on their end, in whatever form it takes. This approach will hopefully give us an avenue to start Missionary Work there, but we'll see how things pan out. If they get what they want and are still bullish, then just cut our losses. Can't preach to a brick wall.
[X] Plan: Well if you want it
-[X] Okay, sure, we were of the impression that you were having a rough time and weren't in any position to handle anything like that. Sure then, you can have it, if you're doing well enough to cleanse the place and make sure they're properly cared for on top of everything else then, I don't think you need any special help getting back on your feet.
-[X] We are willing to give the system, all planets within, and will offer potential assistance/guidance/training in lieu of Choirs in the Glimmering Federation
--[X] In exchange for the compass they speak of, 1/3rd of Auramite mined, preferential trade agreements with us and the Ashan Families and for them to allow our priests to spread our faith in their lands unmolested.
-[X] Create an Official Donation Drive for the affected people of Sub-Sector 621. (No Action Cost)
-[X] TLDR: We rescind our action to aid. We give them the planet and offer training for their psykers in our lands. In exchange we get preaching rights and protections, 1/4th of Auramite mined and preferential trade for both us and Ashan. Also the compass to see what that's about

[X] Plan: Coopt, Therapy, and Undercut
-[X] Establish stricter standards of security and ethics for experiments, to at least keep them from covertly infiltrating or beginning scientific experiments in their direction... and clean that up in general, making it clear that the guidelines on ethical experimentation are both moral and a way of advancing knowledge in actually-usable ways.
-[X] Research facilities really should be more secure.
-[X] Allow somewhat limited research into mind-interfacing and other similar things, within these highly restricted ethical standards.
-[X] Study and analyze the lowest extremes and moderates of the Aetherical Cog to find and select suitable candidates for legitimizing into an official properly structured and monitored cult that discards the cell-like structure of the Aetherical Cog. Encourage the lowest extreme cells to dissolve and join this official church to be protected by official recognition. They would of course have to have a new name.
-[X] Proscribe organizing under the banner of the Aetherial Cog or its beliefs that are not of the officially recognized and sanctioned doctrine. In essence, brings the hammer down on those who do not submit to the officially recognized doctrine.
-[X] Develop and create a psychological therapy organization and professional therapists to help people self-actualize themselves without being drawn into the extreme end of the Aetherical Cog doctrine.
-[X] Put money where the mouth is in working with those in the demographics most likely to be lured to provide them opportunities for new kinds of jobs, upward and sideways mobility, etc, etc. Create more opportunities for self-actualization, and when combined with the discouragement of the "Aetherial Cog Community" it will make it less popular and less able to provide those Wants.
-[X] Also utilize propaganda to celebrate individuality and personal responsibility within the bounds of the community.

Begin sending more covert specialists and indeed med-techs, to in Hives where support is still weak recruit the less vicious and irredemable gangers, give them purpose and a new mission, begin building up a local army and transforming the landscape... and also using this to survey the landscape in another way, identifying dangerous points of potential resistance, those gangs that cannot be treated with or taught a better way... and even worse, the PDF and other such forces, the Captains of Industry, the whole of what will resist... for later and further actions.

--[X] The Order of the Nurenor Roses -[x] [Shipwright's Alliance Trade Deal] The Glimmering Federation had a rocky initial diplomatic contact with the Shipwright's Alliance, but past years has seen that relationship smooth out significantly with regular trading between the two powers, especially through the verdant Irrita. But these trades have highlighted the ways in which each polity surpasses the other. The Glimmering Federation has a higher overall level of technology, especially as it relates to civilian, medical and heavy industry. Both are experienced shipbuilders, but the Shipwright's alliance has knowledge of many Imperial-derived techniques that surpass the capabilities of the Federation. More violent civilizations might seek to seize such advances, but both countries are war-weary and mislike the idea of fighting a potential friend in such a hostile galaxy. To that end, a proposal has been raised by the Federation Council to carry out an exchange of knowledge, where the Federation offers many fundamental technologies and manufacturing techniques in return for the shipbuilding expertise of the Alliance. However, such an exchange would empower both polities, and make any following war ever more destructive. Therefore, a parallel proposal has been made for a defensive alliance, to come to each others' aid if claimed systems are attacked. The proposal is flexible, able to be tailored to the desires of the Alliance, and contains cut-outs for if the attack was provoked by the nation under attack.

[X] Plan Rehabilitation and Reintegration of our Wayward Sons and Daughters
-[X] Authorize Cerberus to track and arrest every single member of the Order of the Nurenor Roses by all means at their disposal.
--[X] Grant Cerberus the authority to temporarily take local PDF forces under their command to provide the manpower needed to raid and arrest Nurenor Roses' cells and meetings.
--[X] The Nurenor Roses' views on gender and caste should be used against them to help identify suspected members and cells, by working with local choirs to identify women psychers suspected to identify with the Roses, or at risk of falling to their beliefs.
--[X] Investigate the drugs used during these "Mothering" "ceremonies" to determine which ones are used most often to force people people to participate unwittingly. Follow the trail of distributors and manufacturers to those members of the Roses buying the substances.
--[X] These should, with a combination of luck and skill, provide additional leads for Cerberus to track down and arrest many members of the Roses.
-[X] Once arrested, members of the Roses should be placed in detention centers separate from the general populace, where they will each undergo a thorough psychiatric evaluation and begin deprograming.
--[X] Attention and care should be made to recognize that many, if not most, of the adult members of the Roses were forced into the cult as children. Time and effort will need to be made to rehabilitate these adults and show them the trauma they underwent as children, and how their current belief systems are a reflection of that trauma that they were forced to adopt.
--[X] They should be regularly encouraged to provide information on other members of the Roses, to help break the cycle and prevent anyone else from experiencing what they went through.
--[X] Those who joined as adults should focus their deprograming on the route causes that brought them into the clutches of the cult: coercion, drugging, and any number of systemic societal pressures that have left them vulnerable to predations by cults like the Nurenor Roses. They should address these underlying issues and be provided with the resources to overcome and throw off the shackles that made them susceptible to cult indoctrination.
-[X] Those who refuse to deprogram, are deemed unable to deprogram by psychiatric evaluation, or show absolutely no remorse for their beliefs and actions should be tried within the justice system for the crimes they committed, and sentenced accordingly.
-[X] Those found to be corrupted by chaos should be treated accordingly.
-[X] Any and all children found should undergo deprograming specifically designed for their age brackets.
--[X] Care shall be taken to ensure siblings remain together, and that they are returned to their families, so long as said families either have no connection to the Nurenor Roses or undergo deprograming alongside their children.
--[X] In situations where the families of children are found to be unable or unwilling to deprogram, the child is to be placed with suitable foster families that have been informed and trained to care for them.
-[X] It should be recognized that tackling the Nurenor Roses it not something that can or should be done in a quick manner. It will take time and effort to thoroughly root out every cell and member, and to then follow through with deprograming people who were forced into the cult.
[X] Plan: Kick In The Door v1.1
-[X] Outlaw the Numeror Roses cult in its entirety and let Cerberus deal with the upper leadership.
-[X] After the cult is defeated, apply the Provisionary Cultist Surrender and Imprisonment Guidelines to all members of the cult.
-[X] Preach sermons emphasizing that everyone is equal under the Droman Creed, no matter their gender. Note the importance of both Teeln and Bnuy, man and woman, to the development of the Glimmering Federation.
-[X] Start an information campaign on STDs and general sex education.
