** After 13 hours of sustained conflict and 298 casualties (through a sheer display of coincidence, the casualties are evenly split; 149 angelics and 149 demonics), both sides agree to let representatives meet with each other to discuss ending the conflict. Ventis sends a shrine maiden, Abakash sends a dark maiden; the two meet and briefly discuss on how to end this senseless waste of personnel for both sides.
** After 3 hours of unsuccessful debating, the rival representatives agree to play a round of rock-paper-scissors to determine which side meets the other's demands. 45 minutes and 1047 rounds of perfect ties later, the two grow fatigued of further debating, and finally agree on the terms of a truce; both sides shall present official apologies for the other, both sides shall confirm that war has not been declared and that this incident shall remain isolated, and both sides shall use other roads than the Ventis-Abakash for a little while because it all got quite ridiculous.
* (WIP'''E7-398: Project Lambda):''' The Theoretical Physics Science Team in Roazon starts Project Lambda, an initiative to improve personal protection and body armor technology with the introduction of the world's first suit of powered armor. The initial phases of the project required the team to study new physical phenomenons which could, in theory, allow specific metal alloys to become harder and more resilient to damage when an electric charge is applied to them.* (WIP* Funding issues and poor management resulted in the project being relegated to a secondary priority. By E7-400, only three people were still officially on the Lambda team.* '''E7-414, Nonama 11: The Super-Heist):''' The [[Guild of Silver Larceners]] perform their greatest heist in history, the so-called Super-Heist, with a direct hit on the [[Yatela Crime Syndicate|Syndicate]]'s capital city, [[Greening]]. An estimated 50 Larceners, heavily armed and armored, and equipped with large bags, invaded the town and performed synchronized acts of robbery across every single shop, facility, and outlet with any kind of cash register.* (WIP* Halfway into the synchronized multi-robbery, Yatela gangsters finally sent personnel to open fire on the Larceners, prompting them to bail out with the wares they had already acquired. Gun battles erupted throughout the town as the Larceners made their escape, deploying dozens of smoke grenades. Undercover detectives estimated that over a thousand rounds of ammunition had been fired that day, with the town still bearing some of the scars, with still-visible bullet holes high on the walls and on the ceilings.** Most remarkably, the Larceners suffered no losses, only 7 wounded. The Syndicate refused to provide details or full numbers on their own casualties or the value of the stolen goods, but it has been estimated to be between [[File: New police Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''2 and 4 million'''.** The leader of the Syndicate at the time, Benito Yatela III, declared that from this day onwards, the entire Guild was marked for death; any and all personnel who are members of the Guild or associated with them is now the enemy of the Syndicate. War had been declared between the two organizations.* '''E7-415, Duplima 27 ; E7-416, Duplima 27: Benito's Revenge:''' In retaliation for the Super-Heist, Syndicate gang members lay siege to the town of [[Gimrun]], occupying the town's accesses to the UA and preventing anyone from entering or leaving the town, threatening the people that try with death. The siege lasts exactly one year, during which Gimrun is believed to have undergone rationing of food, water, and other supplies.** Syndicate forces laying siege routinely attack caravans attempting to bring goods to the town, supplementing their own supply lines, and depriving Gimrun of many resources.** Casualties are unknown, but it is believed that many inhabitants of the town have died of hunger or thirst as a result of rationing and depletion of reserves.** Despite repeated pleas from the population of Gimrun, the [[Maze Police]] refuses to get involved, treating the incident as outside of their area of influence. ** Syndicate Don Benito Yatela III called the siege off after one year, warning the Larceners to stay away from their townsor their personnel or face unspecified "greater misery".** Larcener activity outside of Gimrun virtually stopped over the years that followed, focusing on rebuilding their control of Gimrun and appeasing the town's population.* '''E7-415 ; E7-417: Police Protection Plan:''' The [[Maze Police]] expands their reach and founds three new towns, in an effort to better cover all towns in the world. The measure was presumably done as a reaction to the Super-Heist, intending to prevent such events from occurring in towns protected by Standard Law.** <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-415, Quartema 16:'''</span> [[Beadsor]] is founded.** <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-416, Prima 3:'''</span> [[Murberry]] is founded.** <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-417, Hexema 16:'''</span> [[Wayward]] is founded.* '''E7-417, Heptima:''' The Maze Police announces the Regional Coverage System, assigning each of their towns and associated police stations to a particular area of the Mazes, improving the efficiency and speed of responses to calls.** [[Citadel Lambeth]] continues assuming the role of a command center/headquarters, but has the authority to send backup officers worldwide, primarily to aid other stations.** [[Joliet Sector]] and [[Wayward]] share coverage system)of the Eastern Zone, under the ''Joint Eastern Coverage Treaty''. Wayward is also symbolically assigned to the Northeastern Zone, but due to the near-total youkai control of this geographic area, police coverage is virtually nonexistent there.** [[Elusec]] is assigned coverage of the Southeastern Zone.** [[Beadsor]] is assigned coverage of the Southern and Western Zones.** [[Murberry]] is assigned coverage of the Northern and Northwestern Zones.* '''E7-417, Heptima: Project Psyker:''' The Theoretical Physics Science Team of [[Roazon]] announces the beginning of Project Psyker.** The project was notable for its staff, largely made up of the descendants of those responsible for the earlier Project Mana. They were also famous for their disregard of many ethical and scientific procedures, adopting a sort of "results at all costs" attitude towards their research. Other scientists criticized the project members for "acting like gods" and more generally for their unsafe and unethical behavior.** The initial objective of Project Psyker was researching psychics and psionic powers, starting with the mass abduction of several [[satori]] to be observed and experimented upon. Ultimately, the objective shifted, and became a mirror to that of Project Mana; isolating the origin of psionic powers and finding a way to extract them and implement them into a [[human]] body, to form a new subspecies with psionic powers.
