1. To secure our walls against the enemy without.
2. To secure the rights and liberties of every upstanding citizen.
3. To sponsor the sciences of the City, and to salvage the ruins beyond, so that our Golden Age might be reborn.
4. To support the Guardian Orders by leading the City in technological innovation.
5. To support the natural harmony of the City, and to actively dissuade any group or individual that might disrupt that harmony.
6. To hold all individuals, compacts, and alliances to the highest standards of productivity and right behavior.
7. To, by vote of the Consensus, abolish the Consensus, and transfer ultimate power, in order that the rights and liberties of all citizens be secured, to a single sovereign of unimpeachable character.

The longer the list goes the more worrying it becomes. It sounds more and more like the manifesto of a facist party.

And we know of how you began in the Golden Age. With your RECORD CHASM logs detailing dangerous, life threatening experiments meant to forewarn us of some approaching evil. Anyone who has studied the FWC's history will know they cannot not, MUST NOT, be rallied to.

Those experiments were entirely staffed by volunteers, and suspended once we realized how dangerous they are! But they still gave us details necessary to prepare for the conflict the City will face!
