Game Instructions: This approach will be disapproved by those who side with the Church and those who support the status quo.

Board MemberRemark
The Efficient CommissionerAs the proposal begins, everyone looks to the Efficient Commissioner – some dreading, others rather looking forward to a hysterical interruption […] None comes. She does not speak. […] her eyes are circled in darkness: she cannot be sleeping well.
Bishop of Southwark"Now it's one thing – one absurd, unwise thing – to build a railway towards hell," fumes the Bishop of Southwark. "It's quite another to start trampling the sacred ground our boys died on in the wars against the Devils."
January"The whole area could be an exhibit at my Museum," January says. "Probably wouldn't fit, though. Unless..." She sketches something on a piece of scratch paper, which promptly catches fire. Groaning ensues from the rest of the Board.
September"I dinnae think there's anything there but auld bones o' foolish men and cursed Devils," September muses. "Perhaps if we dig some up, I fancy I'd make myself a wreath."

Conclusion: Take the vote and declare Victory
