| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
The false-stars have gathered overhead […]
The work here is not much like a laboratory experiment. […] The viric light and the venomed blade act as they did before. But this time, the task demands […] Things that histories will not bother to record. […]Description summary:
The first passage mentions 
the designated location of the city.
The last passage depends on

| Founding Body | Last Passage |
|---|---|
| 1000, 2000 - Furnace | While the knife cuts, Furnace looks up and past you – hearing, in viric trance, Beatrice speaking words of comfort. |
| 3000 - Cornelius | While the knife cuts, Cornelius looks up and past you – hearing, in viric trance, a false, dream-Furnace speaking words of comfort. |
| 4000 - Your Double | While the knife cuts, your double looks up and past you – hearing, in viric trance, an old ally speaking words of comfort. |
| 5000 - The Manager's Double | While the knife cuts, the Manager looks up and past you – hearing, in viric trance, a remembered love speaking words of comfort. |
