>Description: The Angelic Layer company is by request, reverse-engineering Wily’s Robot Master parts and Kagura’s body in an attempt to create a full-body biological prosthetic. While that remains theoretical at best, the company is starting development by working on artificial limbs that can be moved by the power of thought.

>Description: The Angelic Layer Company has successfully begun the mass production of brain-controlled artificial limbs using aluminum and titanium alloys, giving them greater institutional knowledge of mass manufacturing. The next step is creating tactile feedback approximating that generated by the nervous system.

>Description: Initial uses of Return to the Past for purely observation have proven fruitful, and the group is slowly beginning to whittle down possible foreign entities to the current timeline. This has not gone unnoticed. [To continue, a SS must take place with Haken concerning this project.]

>Description: The Pokemon Storage System developed by a contractor named "Bill" has proven to be quite successful in allowing for safe storage, but not useful for its intended purpose in securing Pokemon transactions. Bill has claimed the PSS was necessary as a backend and offered to upgrade the system by hiring several of his colleagues - Lanette, Bebe, Amanita, Cassius, and Molayne - to create the trading functionality necessary to be officially sanctioned. They refer to it as 'Project Link Cable'.

23
>Description: Temjin has successfully been uploaded into an artificial humanoid shell, and data from first excursions proves promising. While clever, Temjin’s programming concerning ‘meatspace’ customs will need some fine-tuning in order to maintain project secrecy.
24
[With parts that have been reverse-engineered from Wily's Robot Masters and Kagura's body now entering the commercial market, the costs of repairing Temjin's humanoid shell have been reduced by 43%. However, repeated damage will cause serious strain to the Foundation's financial resources unless new sources of income are secured.]

>Description: The scars of a timeline rewritten run deep in the group, and Shadaloo’s victory over the Foundation in Vietnam have only reinforced the belief that precautions must be taken. To be more fully prepared in the event of hostile actions aimed at the group, a number of contingency plans must be developed for deployment in the event of emergencies ranging from an evacuation of the abandoned factory, a ‘Tower of Babel’ scenario where the group’s top officials are directly targeted, and even a scenario where the group’s own tools are turned against them.

>Description: After an intense discussion within the Foundation, it has been determined that human-created AI like WOPR are prone to operating according to logic alien to humans – absent any ethics or morals, purely by logic and numbers. By running an initial template AI through the Unlimited Neural Field from Brain Burst, it may be possible to develop a basic set of right or wrong that can be easily exported to other formats.
