The Resistance is a cell-based organisation from the twenty-third century whose primary goal is to fight back against the tyrannical Novus Ordo Seclorum, the governing organisation that rules Britain in that time. Like Novus, the Resistance is based in the city of New Philadelphia.

## Background

The Resistance was formed at some point prior to 2263, and, like Novus' twenty-first century predecessors, operates on a cellular structure. The exact number of members is unknown.

## Cells

### Westminster Cell

#### Members

* Nasir Flint (leader)
	+ Jonah West
	+ Nic Black
	+ Gemma Rubrum (unknown status)

#### Former Members

* Carl Stone (leader, deceased)
* Ian Wood (deceased)
* Amanda North (deceased)
* Ollie Water (deceased)
* Enora Gallou (returned to 2020)

#### Activities

Several years ago, the Resistance came into possession of one of the servers from the London Hub. Nic Black, the Westminster cell's engineer, recovered enough data to learn about the London Field Team's mission to 2263, and spent the intervening years planning and preparing to act on this data, intending on abducting Sarah Cunnington to get her to kill Philip Walker, the scientist responsible for creating the Pariahs, before he actually did. However, when it came down to it, they accidentally took Enora Gallou instead. After Enora informed them that their initial plan would have failed anyway, she decided to join the Resistance and help them plan an attack on Novus anyway. Two weeks after they took Enora, Sarah returned to 2263, and Enora persuaded Carl to let Sarah help them. ("Resistance")

During the attack on Blackgrace to capture Walker, the Westminster cell took heavy casualties; Ian was killed by Jacob Dorody after being experimented on by Walker, Amanda was murdered by a Pariah, and Carl took his own life by detonating a bomb that destroyed Blackgrace, all the Pariahs and killed Dorody along with it. The mission, though costly, was ultimately successful however, as Sarah and Enora managed to return to 2020, bringing Walker back with them. ("Walker")

Seven months later, during a mission that was unauthorised by Carl's replacement Nasir Flint, Nic Black was captured by Novus forces. When Jonah returned to report back to Nasir, Nasir refused his request to mount a rescue mission since doing so for just one person was far too risky and they had lost too much already. ("Nicole")

#### Trivia

Each member of the Westminster cell kept an old bottle lid as a token of their membership; upon deciding to join, Enora was given one by Carl. ("Resistance")

### Putney Cell

The Westminster cell often collaborate with the Putney cell. During the planned attack on Novus in September 2263, Jonah and Nic were with the Putney cell, meaning they could not help. ("Resistance")

## Freedom Movement

In a potential future, following the Blinding and the dissolution of the QIA in the year 2027, in which Novus have taken control over most of the world, a possible precursor to the Resistance, calling itself the Freedom Movement (or the FM), was founded by Tasneem Hafiz, Blake Kishell, Iulya Dalca and Sam Lucas. Other members include Juliet Shepherd and, later, Novus operative and last-known Natural; Gaby Marshall. By 2033, the FM launch a desperate attempt to change the future by sending Gaby back in time to *cause* the Blinding and to then kill someone. It is unknown yet whether their efforts succeeded.
