|Value 1 - 3, 9, 181 - 187 = "I am not as familiar with this terrain as with certain other countries," he says. An allusion to the Elder Continent? At any rate, he waves through the plan.
|Value 4 = "The land is voracious," he says, with a keen and unkind smile. "Let's feed it, then."
|Value 5 = "I have an ambition to go out there myself," he says. It's hard to be sure, but the grin under the bandages looks wolfish.
|Value 7 = "They say Station VIII's a good place to be poisoned," he says. This is approval.
|Value 11 = "Please, yes," says Feducci. "Let us be rid of the Commissioner and her endless pedantry. She will weigh down the debate with history even the Tomb Colonists have forgotten."
|Value 13 = Feducci gives a raspy laugh. "Yes, we can do without Jenny on the board. Her weapons are fierce but her targets are poorly chosen."
|Value 15 = "I believe," says Feducci in a rusty voice, "that we can do without my distinguished successor-but-one." It is popular in London to say that Virginia accomplished more than any mayor since Sinning Jenny herself, and Feducci holds a grudge.
|Value 16 = "By all means, let us rid ourselves of Furnace," says Feducci. "I never understood why we needed to listen to her in the first place."
|Value 100 = Feducci rasps out his agreement to this idea.
|Value 205 - 220 = Feducci refrains from threatening to run you through, which you must interpret as support.
|Value 230 = "A vile idea," says Feducci. "One that encourages the most slovenly behaviour among everyone we might hire in the future... but I can see that I will not win this argument. Very well."
|Value 240 = Feducci agrees to the plan, and offers to help lead the strike-breaking effort himself. He appears to consider members of the Tracklayers Union a limited threat to a person like himself.
|Value 300, 320, 340 = "The Charter could be more definitely worded," says Feducci. "But in substance, I accept." He has a blade handy even during the meeting, which raises the question of how much the Charter is likely to bind him. No matter.
|Value 310, 932 = Feducci says yes, in a way that suggests he hopes someone will fight him over it.
|Value 340 = Feducci's comments on the Church are such as could not be printed in the newspaper. It does not seem that he considers the Church's mission worthy of promotion.
|Value 400 = Feducci's calculations apparently satisfy him about the financial wisdom of such a step. "This should suit," he says, in the hoarse whisper you know is an affectation. Usually he does not bother with such foolishness here.
|Value 500 = "Parabola suits me better than the alternative," says Feducci. "And the train need not spend very long in the realm of the Is-Not. Put the mirrors a short distance apart, on that side..."
|Value 510 = "Have they been deployed in combat, I wonder?" Feducci 's mind is racing ahead to acquiring one for personal use.
|Value 520, 522, 523, 525 - 529 = "If we are not doing it in the way I would recommend, this way will work," admits Feducci. "But my way would have been better."
|Value 620 = "It cannot be a worse idea than some other mayors we have had," says Feducci. Everyone stares in his direction.
|Value 700, 720, 800 = Feducci's expression is hard to read under the bandages, but he doesn't have anything against the idea.
|Value 710 = "He has a fighting spirit," says Feducci. So that's a yes, then.
|Value 850 = If you were expecting enthusiastic solidarity amongst Tomb-Colonists, you are destined for disappointment. But Feducci does not evidently disapprove.
|Value 905 = Feducci shrugs. "Her presence or absence make relatively little difference to me."
|Value 910 = Feducci shrugs. "He manages to keep up his work here with his duties at the Club. I cannot imagine a little church will overtax him."
|Value 940 - 941 = "Very well," says Feducci. He seems relatively uninterested in the whole affair.
|Value 1000 - 1020 = "I have dealt with powers of the Elder Continent," Feducci remarks. Which is apparently to indicate that the Tower does not alarm him.
|Value 1100, 1110 = Feducci lets out a long, throaty chuckle. "Of course I am in favour," he says. "Provided I may sit in the gun-battery when we make our little jaunt."
|Value 1200 = Feducci's expression is hard to read under the bandages, but he doesn't have anything against the idea.

<noinclude>|Condition type = Raw</noinclude>
|Effect = [[Persuade Feducci/Tables|Failure Description]]
|Value 1 - 3 = Feducci does not like any suggested route for the train. He agrees that it must go westward, but he does not care for any of the […] directions or terrains. "A flat terrain, with firm soil and no existing inhabitants, would be a better bargain."
|Value 4 = "Those plains kill," he says. "As indeed do many of us. But the Tracklayers may not like it."
|Value 5 = "Those hills are not our territory," he says. "We might be wiser to respect other ownership."
|Value 7 = "Won't it be a great deal of cost and bother?" he demands. "I have serious questions about the cartographical competence of our esteemed fellow director." And he gives you a glance that dares you to strike him.
|Value 9 = Feducci does not like any suggested route for the train. He agrees that it must go westward, but he does not care for any of the available directions or terrains.
|Value 10 = "His Amused Lordship stays." Feducci does not bother to advance an argument.
|Value 12 = Feducci expresses his displeasure with knife-slash to the upper arm. It's more persuasive than most of the arguments advanced by other board members.
|Value 100, 105, 115 - 160 = Feducci reaches for his lance, then pauses. "I disapprove," he says. "Though a poor choice of architecture may not deserve my full duelling power."
|Value 181, 182, 184 - 187 = "No, no, this is all wrong," says Feducci. "The terrain is just not defensible. Where would you put the ramparts?"
|Value 200 = Feducci lays out a counter-proposal: instead of spending the company's money to protect the passengers, why not arm anyone who expects to ride, and let them protect themselves?
|Value 205 = Feducci lays out a counter-proposal: why not strap the passengers' possessions to the roof of the train?
|Value 210 = "A duelling room would be a greater improvement," says Feducci. A few of the others exchange glances. Is he sincere?
|Value 220 = "Break the strike by force," says Feducci. "We cannot be hostage to such demands."
|Value 230 = Feducci's hand goes to his lance and the other to an off-hand dagger. He dislikes this proposal as intensely as any he has ever heard, and he is ready to fight you, and any other comers, here or […] at another location of your choosing […]
|Value 300 = "Nonsense," says Feducci tersely.
|Value 310, 932 = Feducci says no, in a way that suggests he hopes someone will fight him over it.
|Value 320 = Feducci lets it be known that his favourite science is the science of duelling, and that bones are not interesting to him unless they are [...] encased in the body of one of his enemies. [...] none of the other board members particularly wishes to argue with him.
|Value 400 = Feducci has been working out his own accounts for the Company the whole time others have been speaking. Something in the numbers displeases him.
|Value 500 = "I never turn away from danger, but I would not put our trust in the Snakes," says Feducci.
|Value 510 = "A daring exploit," Feducci remarks. "But I don't consider it wise."
|Value 520, 523, 525, 527 - 529 = "I can suggest a superior alternative," says Feducci. "This approach is nonsensical."
|Value 700 - 720 = Matters of inheritance and royal prerogative are just the sort of thing to gall Feducci into action, and he barely hears out the proposal before reaching for his lance.
|Value 800, 850 = Feducci groans. "Why can't we have more adventurous candidates?" […] You get the sense he'd prefer a Union that spent most of its time fighting duels and hunting the stranger beasts of the outer Neath, and ignored the tedious nonsense of the rails.
|Value 905, 910 = Feducci waves a hand. If he has to attend every one of these meetings as a Board member then so should they.
|Value 1000 - 1020 = "One might cooperate, if one cannot fight," says Feducci. "But have we considered demolishing this tower? Explosives and a good set of cannons should do it."
|Value 1100, 1110 = Feducci looks disheartened. "It's not that I disapprove of loading the train with bombard and send it hurtling into the unknown. I just find myself ideologically against the idea of doing it in a place that technically does not exist."
|Value 1200 = Feducci sighs. "Its distance from London is what provides its savour. It would be a pity to ruin that."
