Editing An opportunity: (Opportunity)

{{Action
|Icon = puppet.png
|From Storylet title = Begin an intrigue

|Description = [''Varies'']
|Description summary = The title and description for this action depend on {{IL|An Opportunity in the Khanate}}.
{{Variant table|Condition = An Opportunity in the Khanate|Condition alias = Opportunity|Effect = Title|Second effect = Description
|Value 0 = 0 |Effect 0 = '''debrief an old agent'''
|Second effect 0 = Not one of yours, a spy for a network that was dismantled long ago. It seems he's tired of life in hiding, and wants to trade secrets for safe passage elsewhere.
|Value 2 = 2 |Effect 2 = '''shelter a defector'''
|Second effect 2 = Rumour has it, a Forlorn Captain has been making discreet inquiries aimed at deserting the Khaganian navy. Perhaps you could facilitate that, if you could understand her motivations and make contact.
|Value 3 = 3 |Effect 3 = '''steal a codebook'''
|Second effect 3 = Your network has learned of the disappearance of a Khaganian naval codebook, presumed lost.
|Value 4 = 4 |Effect 4 = '''retrieve stolen blueprints'''
|Second effect 4 = Plans for a new class of war trimaran recently vanished from the offices of the Khaganian admiralty.
|Value 5 = 5 |Effect 5 = '''locate a Taciturn Magician''' |Second effect 5 = A Londoner of some repute, associated with (and expelled from) the Glass. It's unclear what he's doing in the Khanate, but the face is unmistakeable. 
|Value 6 = 6 |Effect 6 = '''break into a quiet factory''' |Second effect 6 = The building is nondescript; public records claim it manufactures valves. But your network has noticed that it's being constantly observed by agents of the Taimen. Clearly something of value is within.
|Value 7 = 7 |Effect 7 = '''secure a treasure''' |Second effect 7 = A publishing house in the Chalk Quarter has gone out of business, leaving behind only a stored cache of romantic literature. By applying the right pressure, you could swoop in and buy it out before the Bazaar's agents show up.
|Value 8 = 8 |Effect 8 = '''investigate unusual shipments''' |Second effect 8 = Your agents have reported the arrival of a ship at a wharf in the Nephrite Quarter. The vessel is heavily laden with blocks of ice taken from Void's Approach - the third such vessel in many months.
|Value 9 = 9 |Effect 9 = '''contact a dissident''' |Second effect 9 = It is difficult for Revolutionary cells in the Khanate to make contact with their counterparts in London, and vice-versa. But one particular dissident is insistently trying to open a line of communication.
|Value 10 = 10 |Effect 10 = '''interfere in a trade dispute''' |Second effect 10 = The markets of Khan's Heart have been flooded with cheap London-made goods. Suspiciously cheap: the prices they are being sold for are downright implausible.
|Value 11 = 11 |Effect 11 = '''answer a request from Mr Stones''' |Second effect 11 = A message has arrived, addressed to your assumed identity. The paper is heavy with gold leaf.

|Success summary = {{Variant table
|Condition = An Opportunity in the Khanate |Condition alias = Opportunity |Effect = Success description |Compact = yes
|Value 0 = You will need to locate this sleeper agent, then arrange for a few discreet overtures. If he's reaching out to networks like yours, he must be very desperate.
|Value 2 = Defection is the raw material of all espionage. If everyone was perfectly loyal, there would be no business in it. But it's a matter of dangers and degrees; you will approach cautiously, at least until you know the details.
|Value 3 = Naval intelligence codebooks aren't simply 'lost'; this whole story reeks. Was it stolen, and the Admiralty is now trying to save face?
|Value 4 = As far as your agents can determine, the Admiralty suspects devils are involved. It makes little sense – surely Hell doesn't care to steal electric engine designs. But the theft […] coincides with the presence of a […] delegation from the Iron Republic.
|Value 5 = Perhaps the Taciturn Magician is simply in hiding here, though it's unclear how he got across the bridge into Khan's Heart. It would be best to isolate this variable, lest it interfere with your other plans.
|Value 6 = [...] the Taimen are surveilling the building in hopes of catching whoever was using it; if they wanted what was inside they would have simply taken it. [...] The opportunity to steal something from under the White-and-Golds' noses is deliciously tempting.
|Value 7 = The export of romantic literature from the Khanate to London is a substantial business, but [...] you'll need to locate the actual owner, and [...] convince them to sell to you – rather than [...] the Bazaar who'll undoubtedly be making an offer soon.
|Value 8 = Cursory investigation reveals that the ship and its berth are both owned by the Tortoise clan. Whatever they are doing with this much ice, it must be worth risking men and ships for.
|Value 9 = Telegrams addressed to [...] known Revolutionary cells in London; cryptic advertisements taken out [...] An unmistakable attempt at making contact, perhaps even a cry for help. If you can locate this hidden Revolutionary cell, you can be that point of contact.
|Value 10 = The suspicious imports are mundane[...] What's unusual is their quantity and price. No one could be making a profit on these items. Their appearance must be part of some scheme, but who could be behind it? And what is their goal?
|Value 11 = [...] But the request is for the extraction of a certain person from the court of the Eagle Khan. There is some preliminary information on when, where, and how – but you should put your agents to work investigating this matter further, before acting.
