From 10 UTC to 11:50, Fallen London had planned downtime to deal with the stability issues that had plagued it the afternoon prior. Unfortunately, the in-universe London had no such stabilisation, a fact noted when, at 15:07 UTC, Jenny [[Council of War|confronted]] the Admiralty leadership about the fact that repeatedly firing artillery at your own city to fight enemies more than capable of surviving artillery blasts was counterproductive. It was [[Contemplate the tactics of the Starved Men|decided]] that what was needed was more information on the enemy - and so the clue hunt returned once more. Much like the [[F.F. Gebrandt's Prelapsarian Exhibition (historical)#29 July|Exhibition's hunt]], once one player had found and reported a given clue a [[Ponder where knowledge might be found|cryptic hint]] as to its location would become visible in-game; unlike the last year, however, no amount of turn-ins would convert the hint to an explicit location, and it wasn't necessary to find all the clues to progress the story. Most clues, once turned in enough times, opened up new options on [[Tending London's Wounds]] or [[Fighting London's War]], which were much more effective than the originally-available options.
