conversations.value: Before her disappearance, the spy reported to us a disturbance brewing in the north. Something has the Lord of Kerryford on edge. He is said to be increasingly agitated, spending an inordinate amount of time cloistered in chambers among his advisors.
  
  It's time we sent a small team of rebel spies to the edge of the North Sea to discover what our other spy could not. We have to find out what has the Lord of Kerryford so bothered. If the enemy of our enemy is our friend, then perhaps we will find an ally who can finally break the lord's iron grip and free Kerryford's citizens from the grueling factories and mandatory mechanical augmentation forced upon the injured in the name of efficiency. Human dignity may yet return to Kerryford.
  
  Or perhaps the devil we know is better than the devil we don't.
  
  Time will tell.
  
  **Note:** This game would best be categorized in the genre of steampunk dystopia. The advertised pace is 2-3 scenes per week. Stragglers will be brought up on charges of high treason and summarily executed.
