In light of recent occurrences, the Proto Institute puts out a formal announcement regarding changes in their political standing, as well as some notorious acquisition that occurred over the span of the last few months - Which had its conclusion at an unfortunate time.

Bullet points the announcement goes through are as follows.

• Following some recent alignment, Dawn de la Croix is officially pardoned by the Proto Institute. The bounty on their head is, therefore, no longer valid.
  
• As of a recent meeting between the Director and the Oracle of Gloomlight, the two states have formally withdrawn their boundaries. Those of Gloomlight who wish to come to Final Frontier, particularly to collaborate with the Church of Alacritas, are free to do so.
  
• Through peaceful means, the Dryden Industries has absorbed the Midpoint as a Branch Office, officially attaching it to the Final Frontier. For more details, consult the other announcement.
  
• Recent developments in the 4-A robots are promising. As a sign of a new future the prototype, WOLFRAM, is promoted to the position of Coordinator.
  
• The Dryden Industries found a lot of success in the showing of the Replicator, a marvel of technology capable of - Well, replicating whatever is fed into it, provided there are adequate instructions to do so.
  
• As of now, the Proto Institute sought to make amends with the Church of Alacritas in full. As a sign of good will, both are set to work together in the Magnum Opus of the Dryden Industries!
