Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

From: Cornelius Leading (a no-Prehistoricists city)

You can't expect things to remain this way forever.

Game Instructions: The city will do as it pleases, but at least you won't gain any Tracklayers' Displeasure.

Success

Cornelius is expelled

The Tracklayers argue amongst themselves, at considerable length. The end of it is that they remove Cornelius from office and appoint someone else. [...]

Description summary:
The end of the first paragraph varies based on the city's Official Alignment. A second paragraph may be added with sufficient Acquaintance: Cornelius.

Alignment	First Paragraph
Radical Liberationist	Someone who claims to be a very ordinary Tracklayer just as committed to the Liberation as the rest of them. You may know differently, but the electorate is (distressingly) satisfied with their choice.
Radical Emancipationist Anti-Prehistoricist	Someone who claims to be a very ordinary Tracklayer who serves only the common good. You may know differently, but the electorate is satisfied with their choice.

Acquaintance	Additional Paragraph
20	Cornelius is irked by this turn of events. But perhaps, he acknowledges, it will give him more time to attend to his projects. Let the city learn later how they misjudged his genius.

Alternative Success

Cornelius is moderately compelling

His ideas were always considered a bit peculiar [...] And yet... there is something about his pictures and diagrams and his large collection of fossilised creatures. [...] The Prehistoricist way becomes thinkable, and then it becomes speakable.
