[X] Babylon: Another result of last year's analysis is the conclusion that you need a place to host any guests. Earth's climate and atmosphere, whilst well suited to humanity, may be hostile or entirely toxic to any extra-terrestrial guests. Designing and building an orbital platform to cater to all the complex needs of other species won't be easy, or cheap, but according to your analysis it's likely to be a requirement more than a choice.

[X] Transliterate Dominion: The translation software discovered within the Shiplord databases is unlike anything you've ever seen, but Marcus and Vision both agree that whilst it's incredibly useful it also probably shouldn't be entirely trusted. They'd like to take an instance of it, take it apart, and try to build their own model. [45%, locked 1 year]
[X] The Secured Unknown: No one alive really knows everything that the vast scientific enclaves on Mars were researching before they were destroyed by the Shiplords, but Mary's successful unlock of the sealed databases has revealed a great deal of theoretical research. There could be some very interesting data left in there, you just need to go looking for it. [50%, locked 1 year]
[X] Realising the Soul: Thanks to the data that the Ministry has been able to put together on what they think Marcus did to himself, they're able to put together a set of techniques. It's not much, and the chances of any breakthrough like Marcus is low, especially with the need to train the Two Twenty-Three. It's still better than no chance at all. [20%, locked 1 year]
[X] Restoring the Observatory: The first part of the physical rebuild will almost feel like a demolition, but that's just how it has to be. All the components, decades of work, have to be ripped out and then painstakingly replaced. You'll be pulling a lot from Insight's own experience, as well as Vision's hardware architecture for this though, so it'll actually be the simplest part of the whole business. [65%, locked 2 years]
[X] Cracked Souls: The real difficult however, is that even if the restoration goes perfectly and you can fuse it all together into a functioning whole afterwards, you need the Insight Focused to actually run it. Project Insight, and Phoebe especially, were dealt a terrible blow. And not just to their minds, but to their souls. Vega has fixed this before, but never on such a vast scale, and she's going to need help. [50%, locked 2 years, requires a Practice dice]
