Interactions[]

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
Call on a favour from the Bespectacled Official
You have proven your value to the Eagle Khan. Perhaps some strings could be pulled.
Vital materials
It takes some convincing, but eventually several crates are delivered to your locomotive, containing redacted documents, incomprehensible machinery and even more incomprehensible blueprints.

"The Jochi Collection," an accompanying letter from the Official informs you. "This is all I can risk, but it includes accounts (appropriately edited) of the earliest attempts to open the gate." The letter makes it very clear that you are no longer warmly regarded by the Empyrean.

The Friend(ID2) is satisfied. "This will have to do. It's enough to get started on, anyway. We'll have to establish a base of operations at the gate itself."
Call on your favours at the London Embassy
The embassy has come to rely on you. Perhaps enough that'll they'll give you what you want.
Vital materials
It takes some convincing, but eventually several crates are delivered to your locomotive, containing redacted documents, incomprehensible machinery and even more incomprehensible blueprints.

"The Jochi Collection," an accompanying letter from the Ambassador informs you. "Obtained by me at some cost. It includes accounts (unfortunately edited) of the earliest attempts to open the gate." The rest of the letter makes it very clear that you are no longer considered the apple of London's eye.

The Friend(ID2) is satisfied. "This will have to do. It's enough to get started on, anyway. We'll have to establish a base of operations at the gate itself."
Ask how to win over one side or the other
How can you prove yourself to them?
Walking the line
The London Embassy and the Rose-and-Thorns, the Empyreal security agency, are engaged in a covert war of information. Both require up-to-date intelligence on other ports in Eleutheria. If you can provide it, you can build a rapport with one side or the other.

Game note: Seek out the London Embassy or Bespectacled Official here at the Empyrean, find out what ports they want intelligence on, and provide it.
