Description summary:
The title varies with the level of A Pawn among Tracklayers. The description also takes the Leader of the Tracklayers into account.

Pawn	Option title
0	Replace the leadership of the Tracklayers with a promising deputy
1 - 2	Replace the leadership of the Tracklayers with a Lackey of Mr Fires
3	Replace the leadership of the Tracklayers with someone you control

Leader is Furnace or Cornelius	Description
Pawn 0	In fact, you rather suspect this individual to be aligned with Mr Fires. But does that matter?
Pawn 1	This might lead to a useful alliance.
Pawn 2	You may be able to learn something about Mr Fires' motives.
Pawn 3	You've... managed... his loyalties.

Leader is January?	Description
Yes	January is unpredictable and she does not consider herself answerable to you. An ordinary tracklayer might be easier to manage.

Success

One of their own

Most of your effort goes to pushing to hold a vote […] your candidate does the rest […] by speaking to the right people […] with a mug of lager in hand.

[…]

On the election night […] there's […] a waggish cry of "Finally! A union leader with just the one face!"

• Persuasive is increasing…
•  An occurrence! Your 'Bridge Troubles' Quality is now 10!

With A Pawn among Tracklayers < 3

•  A lackey of Mr Fires now leads the Tracklayers' Union. (Sets Leader of the Tracklayers to 3 - A Lackey of Mr Fires)

With A Pawn among Tracklayers 3

•  A former lackey of Mr Fires, now loyal to your good self, leads the Tracklayers' Union. (Sets Leader of the Tracklayers to A Lackey of Yours, Formerly Aligned with Mr Fires)

Failure

A failure of public relations

The Tracklayers' Union does not appreciate such a direct intervention in its affairs from anyone, and certainly not from the directors of the GHR. They tell you where you can put your 'recommendations' and 'considered suggestions'.

• Persuasive is increasing…
•  Tracklayers' Displeasure is increasing… (+3 CP)
•  Scandal is increasing… (+1 CP)
