Success
Fair enough
You make your argument so persuasively that Mr Fires' Lackey takes action on his own recognisance. He doesn't have the necessary resources here, but he does know how to lay hands on them.
[...]Description summary:
Second paragraph and onwards varies based on the city's 
Chosen Site.
| Chosen Site | Third Paragraph |
|---|---|
| Ealing | [...] The Tentacled Entrepreneur, it seems, has some complicated relationship to Mr Fires. Through various hints [...] and applications of ominous sign language, Mr Fires' Lackey appears to have persuaded all of Helicon House that they must send supplies [...] |
| Evenlode | [...] Thanks to this [...], the Magistracy sends several wagonloads of useful supplies, most [...] confiscated from prisoners. The constables are displeased to part with this modest accumulation of wealth [...] But that is a diplomatic problem for Mr Fires, not for you. |
| Balmoral | Mr Fires can instruct the Constables; Mr Fires' Lackey can give orders on his behalf. The strategy is [...] unconventional. Mr Fires has few adherents in this neighbourhood […] But Mr Fires' Lackey is effective [...] The result is a jubilee for the whole city. |
| Station VIII | Somewhere else in the Hinterland, the task might require ingenuity. But here in Station VIII? Nothing easier. Mr Fires' Lackey places a requisition in triplicate form. All that he requires is delivered by dirigible the following day. |
| Burrow | He informs the good people of Burrow-infra-Mump that they have been detected in works of Charity – indeed, even in Aggravated Philanthropy – and that their only recourse, if they wish not to be […] fined […] is immediately to surrender all the goods to you. |

The Lackey listens [...], but makes no immediate decision. This is bad. This means that he is consulting Someone Else.
The reply [...] is in the vehement negative. Your reputation here has taken no damage, but in London, you have perhaps made fresh enemies.- Persuasive is increasing…
