-15HY - More Local Autonomy, The Tuesday Group’s first accomplishment happened in 15 HY, although it was one that Project Zero had been considering for a while and there’s a real question of how much the Tuesday Group accomplished it, as opposed to just prodding it forward at the very end of the process., haven/zero/history
-17HY - The Proposal, Since Project Zero had been willing to hand out autonomy for the security services and construction, Tuesday Group decided their best step would be to ask them to formalize the volunteer greeters who staked out the arrival spots, and maybe turn the library over entirely, and a few other things that did not majorly impact anything., haven/zero/history
-17HY - The Disappearance, Brian Torres vanished into thin air on the evening of December 16, 17HY, on his way home from the last Tuesday Group meeting of the year. This resulted in utter chaos., haven/zero/history

-21HY - The Speech, At the April 17th meeting, Anna asked for time to speak. No one gave it a second thought. The rules of order were pretty lax at the meetings, and if you wanted to introduce a topic that you weren’t really sure what you wanted to do with, you could.

-23HY - Governmenting, Half the people expected Project Zero to respond to the formation of the Haven Provisional Government with threats, or even arrests, although no one could come up with anything illegal they had done., haven/zero/history
-24HY - The Jeremy Problem, Jeremy Touze had shown up just three years ago in early 21HY. He had done so well as a volunteer that Elias Burke tried to hire him. And it was there that Jeremy’s politics became a real issue, in that he was apparently a bomb-throwing anarchist., haven/zero/history
