[color=#ff00cc]The Severe Bluejacket is ready to cross the bar.
The Season of Wrecks has finished. If you played Where You and I Must Go, Our Lady of Pyres, and The Final Curtain, you will have gained an item unique to each tale. You can trade in these items to unlock a short tale suffused with lore and adorned with an alluring reward.
This option opens today, and will remain permanently, so there is no need to trade in your items by any deadline.
The story can be found anywhere in London through The Season of Wrecks: His Time Has Come.[/color]
This was great - I know having all three stories share a theme/thread means that people disinterested in that thread might care less, but to have the mysteries of the Bluejacket’s life slowly unfold over four months has been great, and this turn-in was a lovely little ending with an extremely difficult and touching choice.
This is perfect timing! My Seeker - on whose account I’ve played that season - is ready to go North and I was afraid I’d have to wait another month for the bonus story. Thanks Failbetter, now the good Doctor can meet his fate before Christmas :)
This was one of my favorite seasons, and the ending options were apropos. Overall, I am enjoying the monthly stories, and glad to be a regular subscriber.
I’ve been waiting eagerly. A good ending, though I wonder what the wife and butler would’ve said at the deathbed, and if different ending for stories lead to a different ending for the Bluejacket.
As for the Emissary. I loved that part. Good way to tie up the loose ends. If anyone wants to see the Wife ending I’ve echoed it (though seems most of this thread’s participants also echoed it), and I’d appreciate a message if anyone did other endings.
But the best part? This was the final thing I wanted to finish before heading North. Now for that too.
Oh my God, for what was probably the first time, I had no idea what to do. I never have actually weighed many of the moral quandaries of Fallen London, but this decision was stellar. I was freaking out wondering just what I should do. Bravo Failbetter
I ultimately made the merciful choice and put the bullet to good use. It’s better for the widow to think that her husband died at sea than to see what he has become. I also got a dreadful surmise.
So, how many destinations does the Bluejacket have? Pasta and I already have the tomb-colonies and the Gant Pole.
Does anyone have the result of Chat with the Iconoclast? Could you PM me with that? Thank you!
And, I’ve seen different story-results for the Widow option. So it seems that whether it’s better for them to reunion is uncertain. Any uncertainty in other options?
(BTW, PM me if you need the information of different material rewards.)
For the first page, PM sent.

That was the most gut-wrenching choice I’ve made in this game. I picked the “release it” option, and it’s echoed in my journal. Does anybody have an echo of the mercy kill or the other one that isn’t the wife?
