|Value Furnace = Furnace is not best pleased. It's not easy managing a city in the dark. And fine as it might be to imagine a city with no sort of leadership at all, she has seen what happens in that event.

|Value Fires' Lackey = Mr Fires' Lackey suggests to you that this is only likely to hasten the destruction [...] Mr Fires didn't care for the place before, and he'll care for it even less now [...] But do as you like; he doesn't mind. It will be something to see the place go to smash.

|Value Furnace = Furnace tolerates this development, though the exasperation is evident in her voice. The purely Prehistoricist plans were impractical when Cornelius was advocating for them, and she considers them even sillier now.

|Value Cornelius = Cornelius regards this outcome with great satisfaction. The possibilities are limitless [...] Why, he has four or five speculative anatomies already drawn up. Regarding the problem of sewage, for instance, what do you think of this little beauty?

|Value Fires' Lackey = Mr Fires' Lackey regards all of this as a pointless exercise. He has no intent to listen to what the citizens want, so why bother to persuade them one way or the other? Though he admits he does find the assembled creatures very funny.

|Value January = January offers pungent views on the folly of this approach. What good will these bone-configurations ever achieve? The oppressor wins when the oppressed turn their energies to anything other than revolution.

|Value January = January's comments on the current population are acerbic. It is naive to suppose one can merely ignore the oppressor. She will, you know, always be pulling the city in her own direction, and spitting invective at the stars.
