Line 1,496:
*August 9 - The Marlinist Colonies are wracked by instability following the NMLA bombings. Fears of further bombings stoke mass panic, and known Neo-Marlinists become targets of violence from their fellow citizens. After Minister Aaron Whyte claims that the Marlinist Colonies invited the NMLA's attack by failing to elect Verity Dexter as prime consul, an infuriated Minister Octavia Volkov calls for his arrest. Some fear that the rift between Marlinists and Neo-Marlinists may continue to widen.
*August 10 - Senator Zemina Torval announces the creation of Torval-Mastopolos Mining, a new autonomous branch of the megacorporation Mastopolos Mining. This lends credibility to reports of a falling out between Torval and her cousin, Mastopolos Mining CEO Gabriella Mastopolos. Insiders claim Senator Torval was motivated by a desire to take on a more active role in Mastopolos Mining and burnish her personal legacy. It is also believed that Torval intends to establish her new business's headquarters in a permit-locked system.
*August 11 - Dr. Paul Baumann, chair of the independent board of inquiry assembled to investigate Aegis, provides an outline of the investigation's scope, which involves a complete analysis of Aegis and its work, with a focus on the circumstances leading up to the Alexandria's disappearance. The inquiry divides politicians in all three superpowers; some worry that it will weaken humanity's defences, while others push for more localised anti-xeno operations.
