Actions	Requirements	Effects	Notes
Increase your Iron “I'll swap yer.”	1 x Secret Iron ≤ 49	Days with the Regiment The Gunner ran with the Regiment, the urchin-gang who keep a cannon in a high clock-tower. But the urchin-gangs reject adults, and now she plies her skills at sea. From the way she stumbles over the story, she still misses them. -1 x Secret +1 x Iron	Game note: Spending a Secret will improve your Iron, but no higher than 50.
Ask her what she wants from life Why did she come to zee?		“Khan's Shadow!” “It's like the Flit at zee, right? No one to tell yer what to say or do. And no one to kick yer downstairs, just 'cos you got a little bit tall. I'll be a faithful officer, but put me ashore at the Shadow, and I won't forget yer.”	Game note: Khan's Shadow is east of the Khanate proper, in the east-central Unterzee.
Proposition the Longshanks Gunner “I always liked you. Back when we was still on the roof-tops.” Game note: The Gunner has grown bored of subtlety. Ensure your Iron is at least twenty points higher than your Veils.	Iron ≥ Veils + 21 Romance: an Affair with... ≤ 0	A tousled heap You bear her laughing to the bunk, where you both do your best to stifle the laughter. (It wouldn't do to have the crew overhear. An affair with an officer would cause trouble.) The Gunner is lean, forthright and energetic: you are exhausted by the time you both drift off to sleep. Game note: Opportunities for other trysts with the Gunner will occur while you're at sea, substantially reducing Terror. However, if you have a lover in port, they might find out. -5 x Terror Romance: an Affair with... = 2 [You have begun an affair with the Longshanks Gunner] Romance: Love in the Dark = 1 to 100
Exchange a secret smile No one must know.	Romance: an Affair with... = 2 [Longshanks Gunner]	Later... Game note: Opportunities for other trysts with the Gunner will occur while you're at sea - but not quite yet.

Let your Longshanks Gunner go ashore “I'm no more good to yer, Captain. I've got the scent o' freedom, now, and I'm for the city of broken ships.”	1 x Longshanks Gunner	A profitable parting “So I've got a confession to make. I've been moonlighting in the old trade. Not aboard ship. I'd never steal from a shipmate, cap'n, I zwear!” She winks. “But a port here, a port there. Here's some of my haul, and thanks.” She hands you a collection of clinking objects wrapped in cloth, shoulders a bundle, and, whistling, hurdles the rail to land in a rusting coal-barge. She's gone. -1 x Longshanks Gunner +1 x A Casket of Sapphires +1 x Ambiguous Eolith +1 x Hunting-Trophy +2 x Outlandish Artefact +3 x Drowning-Pearl
