What I could tell you about <i>eyes</i>!" As the subject bounces from that to politics, to the intricacies of sunlight, to the complex breeding cycle of sorrow-spiders, it becomes impossible to keep up. Still, he is a man who intimately knows all of his subjects. You definitely leave feeling that you have learned something important, if perhaps not exactly what. <ul>[[File:SS Secret.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Secret]]<p></p> [[File:SS heartssmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Hearts]]<p></p></ul> | |- | {{action title|Dine with the Determined Doctor}} He will bring the wine, he tells you.

He slams his hands down on the table. "Do you not <i>see</i>, [[Addressed as]]! Every year, the Bazaar... she <i>devours</i> us! From within! The rich dream honey-dreams, while the poor shovel lacre with their bare hands in the streets - just to earn a few Echoes to buy food... and above it all the Masters and the - " He never does get around to answering your actual question, of whether he enjoyed his main course. | |- | {{action title|Check on the Determined Doctor}} He has not caused any more trouble, but remains a cause for concern. | <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 25 <p></p></ul> | {{effect title|A man distracted}} The guard reports that the Doctor has barely spoken since returning to work. He certainly has not smiled. He goes through the motions solely in the hope of being left alone, away from the scorn and suspicion of the crew. His patients leave mended, more or less, but their sutures are poorly stitched, their medications miscounted, and their bones carelessly set. The crew grumbles. A word must be had. <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 26 <p></p></ul> | |- | {{action title|A Long Talk: Cold Reality}} His problem is that he lives in a fantasy world. A glimpse of life's complexity might show him his folly. | <ul>[[File:SS chesspiecesmall.png|23px]] 3 x [[Moves in the Great Game]] <p></p> [[File:SS heartssmall.png|23px]] [[Hearts]] β₯ 175 <p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 26 <p></p></ul> | {{effect title|A realist is born...}} It is not with anger but curiosity that you ask him what he hoped to achieve by betraying your trust. What plans could the anarchs have that would upend the very table where the Great Game is played? In the privacy of your cabin you let him in on your little corner of it. More. You give him your blessing to make use of anything he sees, if he truly believes it will achieve something worthwhile. He looks up. Pushes away the offered intelligence... which of course still has to be burned, as protocol demands. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. I will return to my duties. There at least I can still hope to serve." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would." <ul>[[File:SS chesspiecesmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-3</span> x [[Moves in the Great Game]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Determined Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Disillusioned Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS Searing Enigma.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Searing Enigma]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 30 <p></p></ul> | |- | {{action title|A Long Talk: Inner Emptiness}} His problem is caring too much. In the blackest reaches of the zee, he will learn that such frivolities as hope and purpose are just night-lights for the naive. | <ul>[[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] [[Terror]] β₯ 75 <p></p> [[File:SS pensmall.png|23px]] [[Pages]] β₯ 175 <p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 26 <p></p></ul> | {{effect title|A nihilist is born...}} By the last greasy flickers of a dying candle, you stand on deck with the Doctor and stare into the abyss. The question is not whether anything stares back, but whether it will choose to remain hidden. As you talk, the fellow's shoulders sink. He leans against the rail, considering the depths. Any arguments he might have made are swallowed by the emptiness. He looks up. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. I will return to my duties. There at least I can still hope to serve." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would." <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Determined Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Disillusioned Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS Searing Enigma.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Searing Enigma]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 40 <p></p></ul> | |- | {{action title|A Long Talk: For London!}} His problem is that he keeps choosing unworthy causes. Perhaps he can be pushed to a worthy one for once. | <ul>[[File:SS wolfstackdocks portsmall.png|23px]] [[Supremacy: London]] β₯ 3<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 26 <p></p></ul> | {{effect title|A patriot is born...}} Over a meal of zee-trout and wine, you do your best to bring him round. Is the world perfect? No. Neither Surface nor Neath will ever make that claim. Is all well in London? Hardly. He is not wrong there. However, you point out, he has a better chance than most to put his unquestioned skills to use in the name of <i>all</i> her people. And his regrets? Well, to do something terrible for one's country is barely a matter for shame at all! He looks up. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. Perhaps I shall put about inquiries the next time we are in port. For now though, I will return to my duties. There at least I know that I can serve with a measure of honour." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would." <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Determined Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Disillusioned Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS Searing Enigma.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Searing Enigma]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 50 <p></p></ul> | |- | {{action title|Enough! His services are no longer required}} He leaves the ship at the next suitable port. | <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 26 </ul> | {{effect title|A vacancy to fill}} The Doctor finishes work on his final patient and walks himself to the brig without objection or recrimination. He leaves his fate in your hands, thanking you for having let him perform at least a little more good while here. <ul>[[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Determined Doctor]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] = 99 <p></p></ul> | |- | {{effect title|Answer questions about your past}} <div>You've kept your secrets long enough. </div> | <ul> [[File:SS fogsmall.png|23px]] [[Memoirs: Your Past]] = 1 <span style='color:teal;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>A Past Wreathed in Shadows</span><span style='color:teal;'>]</span><p></p> </ul> | <ul> {{trigger event|Revealing your Past||SS_masksmall.png}}<p></p> </ul> | ''Game note: <span style='color: teal'>Unmask yourself!
