|Description summary = The first paragraph is dependent on your {{IL|Under Attack!}} quality. The second paragraph is dependent on your {{IL|Far Afield from Station IX}} quality. And the final two sentences are dependent on your {{IL|Damage to your Airship}} and {{IL|Fuel Depletion of your Airship}} qualities respectively.
{{Variant table|Condition = Under Attack!|Effect = First Paragraph|Compact = yes
|Value 0 = The Roof is quiet. No sound but [...] your own heart; [...] the engines, [...] the propellers. There are candles lit in some of the pale citadels, but the Starved remain out of sight. For now.

[...]
|Value 1 = Candles gutter in the citadels. The Starved can see well enough in the dark. The silence is broken by the slice of serrated wings; the skittering of elongated limbs crawling down stone; the shriek as they prepare to leap – and rend.

[...]

{{Variant table|Condition = Far Afield from Station IX|Effect = Second Paragraph|Compact = yes
|Value 0-5? = London is close below. There are few citadels here; the stalactites are calm. Pale pillars hang like needles from the rock, waiting to fall.
|Value 6-10? = The False-Stars move above, so close you could reach out and touch them...
|Value 11-20? = A vast carapace lies dormant ahead. Its flesh is the blue of midnight, its million eyes pale and curdled as milk. Once a Moon-Mother, now it is merely this.
|Value 21-30? = The citadels of the Starved are near. There is movement behind the yawning openings in their pallid facades. Within one, you see a great vat, ochre and boiling.
|Value 31-40? = Starved Men hang pinioned to slender stalactites. A hunting ground? An experiment, failed – or ongoing? A long limb twitches as you pass below, beseeching, or grasping...
|Value 41-50? = Tunnels above, burrowed into the rock, extending towards the Surface. Fat and amber clots these openings, though you fancy you can see movement within. The Starved do not share a singular purpose – who knows what this might be?
|Value 51+? = A vast citadel ahead, formed of flesh and bone as much as of stone. Its facade resembles a skull, but not that of any human. [...] The mouth [...] is composed of five rows of [...] teeth.

{{Variant table|Condition = Damage to your Airship|Effect = Fourth Paragraph|Compact = yes
|Value 0 - 1 = Your airship is in fine fettle. 
|Value 2 = The craft has taken fire, but no more than a glancing blow. You remain fighting fit!
|Value 3 - 4 = There are holes in the deck and one engine billows with black smoke. Yet you persevere.
|Value 5 - 6 = Half the crew is lost. Fires rage across the deck. Yet still, the airship holds, guns blazing.
|Value 7 = The craft is almost lost. Only the sound of cannon through the smoke lets you know that your gunners fight on.
|Value 8 = The airship is a lost cause. Retreat, while you still can!

{{Variant table|Condition = Fuel Depletion of your Airship |Effect = Fifth Paragraph|Compact = yes
|Value 0 - 2 = You have sufficient fuel.
|Value 3 - 4 = Your boilers are at half capacity.
|Value 5 - 7 = Your fuel stores are running dangerously low.
|Value 8 = Your fuel is depleted. You must head back, while you still can.
