{{IL|University Laboratory (Place)|Appearance=University Laboratory}}
*To [[Research an Impossible Theorem]] requires {{IL|Laboratory Research}} 13000 and {{IL|Parabolan Research}} 300, as well as [[Laboratory Equipment]] 7. Optionally, speed this project along by using the [[Review the Prior Literature]] card to [[Relate this problem to a past Enigma]].

{{#set:Has grind objective=Memory of a Much Lesser Self}}
{{IL|Moloch Street}}

{{IL|Balmoral}}
*An amount scaling with the complexity of your cover identity with [[Realise your Cover Identity reveals the person you were]]; see [[Cover Identities (Guide)]] for detailed information. Some good options: 25x {{IL|Well-Placed Pawn}} can be converted into {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 4}} for 3 actions ({{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.33|Appearance=}}/action). Or, with 1 action to "collect", up to 16 actions can be spent at {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 1|Appearance=}}/action. Finally, building Backstory with {{IL|Mortification of a Great Power}} sourced from the Khanate approaches {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.63|Appearance=}}/action when spending Mortifications in bulk.
*Sourcing {{IL|Mortification of a Great Power}} via [[Hearts' Game (Guide)|Hearts' Game]] allows you to build {{IL|Cover Identity: Backstory}} at a rate of 1.3 per action. At its minimum conversion rate, this yields {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 29}} over 22 actions ({{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.32|Appearance=}}per action). In large batches, the efficiency approaches {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.35|Appearance=}} per action.

{{IL|Moulin}} / Parabola
* ({{IL|Mithridacy}} / 2) for [[Dip your Cross in the Waters]] at the end of the expedition to the Wellspring; requires the {{IL|Crooked-Cross}} profession. Can be done once per week. See [[Moulin Expeditions (Guide)#Expeditions to the Wellspring|Moulin Expeditions (Guide)]] for more information.

Can be done once per week. Note that returning from the Wellspring via Parabola results in an [[That Which was Taken|opportunity card]], which will cost you either some {{IL|Watchful}} points, {{IL|Memory of Light|Appearance=Memories of Light}}, or raise menaces.

{{IL|The Upper Airs}}
* Some Airs-dependent options on [[Travelling through the Air]] give one:
** 1 for success on [[Fly past New Newgate]].
** 1 for ''failure'' on [[Follow the Shivering Delta]].
