| During the Cold War, the Trust considered the possibility that the Earth might be rendered inhospitable to life, and arranged the construction of the Runaway, a nuclear-pulse Orion spacecraft, to evacuate the Trust membership in the event of nuclear war. In the 1970s, the Trust suborned two Russian space probes bound for Mars to establish a small base ([[The Cave]]) on the planet. Since then, Macarius and Nicolet, the two eternals at the base, have dug a permanent habitat - aided by several further supply drops from Earth, which were covered up as lost satellites. The Cave will become impossible to hide with higher-resolution imaging of Mars by NASA spacecraft, and the Trust is currently voting if the Masquerade should be ended or not. | During the Cold War, the Trust considered the possibility that the Earth might be rendered inhospitable to life, and arranged the construction of the Runaway, a nuclear-pulse Orion spacecraft, to evacuate the Trust membership in the event of nuclear war.

| On occasion, the Trust has also dispensed justice against eternals. The most prominent case was that of the Blood Knight, who was consigned to burial in an oceanic trench as punishment for murdering 22 eternals, five of whom have not yet been located and revived, and at least five thousand ephemerals. Gregorios has recently petitioned for the Blood Knight to be excavated, with a view towards potential rehabilitation and to aid in locating the missing victims and potentially other victims that were unknown at the time of the original conviction. | On occasion, the Trust has also dispensed justice against eternals.
