First comment, no clue how to edit. Hope it's useful.

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)

Action edit is not allowed on comment pages.

A new option just opened up for me due to 'The State of the Emergency' becoming 2.

Commit yourself to the work of defending

Fight! You will always fight, whenever it is needed!

This will permanently dismiss this card from your deck. Instead, you will gain a Burden that accelerates your Wounds and lowers your skills. This Burden will persist until London's Ruin is low enough – which may be longer than this card would remain in your deck.

I'm avoiding choosing it for now. Also- the difficulty check for the challenge appears to be based on Base Watchful instead. My stats are around base 85 on this account and the check is still feasible for me.
