Aha!
You write down all the possibilities, even the absurd ones. What if Stilton were the key to the whole affair? What might the Third City have to do with it?
Description summary:
Part of the description varies based on your 
Experimental Object. The text above is the generic result[1]; objects with more specific results are listed below.

| Experimental Object | Question |
|---|---|
| 40 | Could you use a Stirling engine to recapture lost heat and eliminate the need for fuel? What if there's no such a thing as 'velocity' and it's all an optical illusion? |
| 140 | What if the Principle was given a reflection. The original could be freed, the reflection bound by its debts? |
| 230 | What if mapping is forbidden because the streets objected to being so simply described? |
| 240 | Could Parabola be a map of itself? Each square an image of the whole? |
| 260 | What if the geography of the roof is an exacting mirror image of the ground? Of the Surface above? Of, specifically, Corsica? |
| 310 | What if Polythremic clay could be baked into an exceptionally hard and robust, but still living, material? |
| 320 | What if Nevercold Brass is allergic to other metals? |
| 410 | What if the Albatross reached Parabola by passing through a twisted mirror that permanently reshaped its form on the far side? |
| 420 | What if the Warbler were created by putting an ordinary bird in the centre of a seven-fold mirror box? |
| 495 | What if rhinestone were, in this instance, more powerful than diamond? |
| 510 | What if this animal was originally a rose? |
| 1340 | What if the ushabti emits some form of confounding gas that merely makes you think that it's animate? |
| 1350 | What if the cuirass had the power to make the wearer obedient to the Sun? |
| 1610 | What if the best way to travel was in fact along the bottom of the river? |

Hmmm...
You scowl at the paper. It remains stubbornly blank. By the time you have a thought, the inkwell has gone dry.
