| 3+ | "Surely you've seen more than me." The Veteran nods at you. "Still, maybe I've been in the right place at the right time, and have something to share." |

Description summary:
| Gains | Description | Success Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | "You much of a scientist? It's not something you can tell just by looking at someone." […] "I hear that if you do enough work at a laboratory […] you'll get invited to lunch with the Dean of Supernumerary Fellows. You could learn a lot, there." | You will need a base Watchful of 200, and to reach 40 in the Prestige of your Laboratory. |
| 3 | "You can learn a lot from that Dean. If he thinks you're sufficiently attentive to your work in the laboratory, he might even invite you to tea. I'd accept that offer. That is, if I wanted to learn whether he had any ulterior motive […] | Speak to the Dean of Supernumerary Studies and research Mr Spices' Private Stash. |
| 6 | "I'm sure if I'd tried a different career, I could have been a scientist. There are other ways of learning, but close study can be invaluable." He grins. "You've been looking into Mr Spices' stash. Have you tested it on anything?" | Return to the laboratory and test Mr Spices' Private Stash on animals, then speak with the Dean. |
| 12 | "Have you been helping with the railway? You might find something worth looking into the factory at Station VIII." He considers you for a moment. "You'll need to go there out of hours, if you know what I mean?" | Discovering the Dirigible Mast at Station VIII will add Something is Landing to your Station VIII deck. Draw this enough times, and you will be able to talk with a certain Master. |
| 15 | "The Masters seem rather interested in Station VIII, don't you think? I wonder why." The Veteran stares into his pint. "How is Spices doing, by the way?" | Mr Spices will visit Station VIII. Offer your medical opinion on its health. |
| 18 | He shrugs. "Well, you took a sample of its tears? Take them to your laboratory!" | An experiment is available at your Laboratory. |
| 21 | "Huh," the Veteran says, staring into his pint. "That's quite something. Have you gone back to Mr Spices with your results?" | Return to Mr Spices at Station VIII – or, perhaps, you could talk to the Solicitor-Baroness, at Moloch Street. Doing so will unlock a new experiment in your Laboratory. |
| 24 | The Veteran looks increasingly alarmed at what you're describing. "I, er," he stammers. "Right, well, what you ought to..." he starts, but then he can only nod and trail off. | Board the locomotive you've built for Mr Spices at Moloch Street. |
| 27 | The Veteran has no advice for you – he's much too distracted by the infant idly chewing on your head. | Depending on your choices, you may be able to bring Mr Transport to a number of destinations: Try Marigold Station, the Magistracy of the Evenlode, and the Bazaar Side-Streets. |
