An Absence of Cigarette Smoke

 is a random event that can occur in the High Wilderness when certain conditions are met.

Trigger Conditions
 Learning About the Fatalistic Signalman = 60 (The Signalman needs nothing from you at the moment. Be patient.)

Description
''A junior signaller collars you in the galley. She asks if you've seen the Fatalistic Signalman, who hasn't reported for duty today.''

''The other crew haven't seen him since he retired to his cabin last night. But the junior signaller has tried knocking and received no response.''

''Several crewmen exchange glances, but the young signaller says she's already checked the exterior hatch and found it securely closed. A macabre, but pragmatic precaution.''
