|Value 22 = "She'll always be useful," says January. "But she might be more useful in another capacity."
|Value 31 = "I don't believe we need him for anything," January remarks.
|Value 35 = "She has courage and purpose but she sees nothing accurately," says January. "If she won't join battle on our side, then there is no reason to keep her on."
|Value 37 = "Intellectual hubris," says January. "I don't like her."
|Value 105 = "At least it acknowledges the battle in which we are engaged," says January. From her tone of voice, she's enjoying herself.
|Value 115, 120, 130, 150 = She does not like the plans, but she's willing to let it be built, if only to come to the end of the argument. "It's a bad idea, but it's not a very important bad idea. Hardly anyone is going to see it out there."
|Value 140 = "Yes," she says. "Good." She spends some time looking the plans over. It's obvious you've surprised her a little by proposing something she doesn't hate.
|Value 160 = January is softly enthusiastic. "Yes, I would imagine building it will be quite the adventure."
|Value 181, 184, 187 = "I fear that this proposal has ulterior motives," says January; you can feel the eyebrow raising even behind the mask. "But so be it. The new city will thrive whatever the circumstances."
|Value 182 = "Not my preferred site," says January. "But a fine one."
|Value 200 = "It's a good idea to be armoured out there," January says. "As long as you trust the person driving the train. But, fortunately, the tracks will prevent anyone from taking them in an unintended direction."
|Value 210 = "I don't oppose it in principle," says January. "As long as we can pay for the other things we require. And as long as we don't price the tickets so high that only lords and ladies can enjoy the comforts." [...]
|Value 300 = "Agreed," says January, a little savagely. "We might as well label what we are. I'd also endorse putting a sign on a tiger cage so you know what to expect if you climb in."
|Value 310 = "It would be better to give everyone a share and be done with it [...] Charity always involves someone bending down from a height to be 'kind' to someone else. Still, it's preferable to hoarding all the profits in one place, I'll give you that."
|Value 320 = "Even institutions of learning can put their boot on a person," January remarks. "But knowledge is a less damaging mission than most."
|Value 520, 521, 523, 525 - 529 = "Among the strange laws, stranger forms of injustice," says January cryptically. "By all means, let us go."
|Value 933 = "I am unfond of this proposal," January states. "But if it is the only way to make progress, I suppose it is a price we can afford."
|Value 1000, 1010, 1030 = "Yes," says January, leaning forward. "If it leads to calamity, it will be the right sort of calamity."
|Value 1100, 1110 = "Yes," says January. "If we are to test ulterior capabilities for our stock, we ought to do it in place where the externalities are necessarily contained."
|Value 1200 = "The city requires provisions," says January. "It will be more viable if it can trade easily with the rest of the Neath."

|Value 10 - 21, 23, 26 - 29, 32, 33, 37 = January looks at you pointedly and says that there are other people she would much sooner get rid of.
|Value 22 = January notes that she considers this board member a valuable ally.
|Value 24 = She says, with a faintly self-mocking expression, that as unlikely as it might seem, she believes September is much too valuable to the board to let go.
|Value 31 = "He is less of an impediment than some people who might be on the board," she says. This is not a compliment to the Wry Functionary, but she is still inclined to spare him.
|Value 35 = January considers for a moment. "She is not sympathetic, but she is predictable," she says. "Which means that she can be used. I vote against excising her. Any replacements might be less easily controlled."
|Value 100 = January tilts her head and considers the plans dispassionately. "There's not much aesthetic ambition here, is there?"
|Value 105 = January shakes her head. She favours the fortress idea in principle; she just doesn't have much confidence that this example is well enough constructed.
|Value 115 = January offers a rich variety of critiques on this idea, including that it is showy and bizarre; [...] and that the GHR's limited understanding of the Infernal aesthetic is likely to result in something more embarrassing than accurate.
|Value 120 = "Is it meant to gain the Bazaar's favour?" asks January, squinting sideways at the plans. "If so, we'd probably get further by writing a poem of grovelling praise, the way lickspittles used to do."
|Value 130 = If you had designed this plan specifically to aggravate January, you could not have done a better job. She despises the appearance; she despises the message. She recommends [...] a new station be proposed that is as unlike this as aesthetically possible.
|Value 140 = "It could be a great deal worse," says January, in a tone of surprise. "But I'd still rather we didn't build it at all."
|Value 150 = "It's embarrassing," January remarks, "when people think they miss the Sun." She won't be drawn to say very much more than that in the present environment.
|Value 160 = January has a great deal to say on the subjects of insulation and thermodynamics, which she is delighted to explain at length.
|Value 181, 184, 187 = "This proposal insults my intelligence," January scoffs. "Do you think I don't see through this scheme?"
|Value 182, 185 = "It's not the worst location," January says. "But it's not ideal, and I see no reason to settle for this proposal."
|Value 300 = "The proposal has the merit of frankness," January remarks. "But that doesn't make it a desirable goal."
|Value 310 = "Ah, yes. Philanthropy." January's voice is wry behind her mask. "It's always certain people who get to be the philanthropists and decide where the charity should go, and certain other people that are meant to be grateful."
|Value 520, 521, 523, 525 - 529 = "It is a fool's strategy," […] "Why is it that no group of more than three persons can ever lay down a sensible plan?" This remark seems to land more strongly with some […] than others, and you have the sense she is only partly talking about the GHR.
|Value 800, 910 = January listens intently. Then she looks as though she is going to deliver a learned speech critiquing the injustice of appointing this candidate. But she simply votes No, instead.
|Value 933 = […] "No, I don't think I'll go along with a plan so transparently driven by the Masters' desires." You can't get a good look at her expression behind that mask […] "Perhaps we should be asking the Union to consider a change of leadership, instead."
|Value 1000, 1010, 1030 = "I would take a different approach," says January. "One that offered us more leverage against our other opponents."
|Value 1100, 1110 = January closes her eyes and pinches the bridge of one of her noses. "The War is a distraction. Anything we might learn there is of necessity a lie. There are more important concerns closer to home."
