Level Change Description

1: You've shown you don't consider yourself above the other citizens. Well, you've shown it a little. A token amount, really.

2: You've shown some signs that you don't consider yourself above other citizens. Perhaps someone will tell the story.

3: You've shown some humility. You've put your work in, and not always assumed you should have the best seat. They'll like that around here.

4: You're past doing this for show. You're putting in some real work now.

5: You can take some pride in the day's work.

6: You can take some pride in your aching muscles and the simplicity of your efforts.

7-9: It's become routine, living like any other citizen and working like any other citizen. This is what it means to be one of many.

10-12: Here is what a great deal of effort has taught you: you are not as good a worker as most of the rest of the city. Not at the ordinary tasks. There's a whole other skill, being one of this crew. Everyone is patiently covering while you learn it.

13-14: Even when they are no longer laying track, the folk here know how to synchronise as though they were still laying rails and ties.

15-24: You did, of course, do your own labour towards the railway. So many supplies procured. So many meetings held. But it was not like this.

25-39: We could not have been what we are, in London.

40-49: We work as one.

50-76: None among us now holds the leash.

77+:Though each of us may die, we together shall live.
