You manage to infiltrate several the circles of several dissident groups and organizations.

( -1 Diplo Power, -20 wealth, +Infiltrated [dissidents] )
Several dissident leaders agree to meet with you, several don’t. They voice their concerns to you (largely what you saw last action) and assure you that they never had any allegiance toward Istania or their beliefs. They promise to do their best to cool the populace if you do your best to make the nation more fair. (NOTE: They are not asking for a complete equalization of the country; they are essentially asking for “Emancipation”, allowing humans freedom, but not necessarily equality. Complete equality is obviously their long term goal, however.
