I’d be interested to get the answer also. Did the same as you, came back from the Boatman and it was all over.
Did anybody manage to shoot the weapon, and would be willing to share an echo?
Here is the Echo of the crash:

I did manage to shoot it once. Here’s the echo: Fallen London
Absolutely loving this entire end-stage of this event!
You know, eventually, Hell came to help us. They were a little late, but they helped eventually. Then, at the very last moment, the Masters came to our aid. Again, they could have helped sooner, but at least they did something. But you know who never helped? The Traitor Empress. All She had to do was give a quick little speech about London and how we would get through this, but She did nothing at all! I am in a railway board meeting right now, and heavily considering installing the Fervent Widow instead of the Unyielding Highlander. Sadly her reward is not nearly as flexible as his.
I chose to spend my Service for brass (good for echo-to-scrip conversion), threnodies (rat market arbitrage) and MoDS (mammoth ranching).
Scandal reduction item will be useful for worm-riding. Also got +Mithridacy for Estival coins. Not bad, but non Hearts Desire players probably profited more from this event.
Also there is time-gated Cultural Exchange thing, intriguing.
Thank you!
So the shot is just a bonus and we all crash ultimately :)
Heh, told you all we’d come back to that Horticultural prestige yet.
Funnily, I got to accept the “best in show” prize twice over. With… no less than 154 points to spare.
For myself, I never considered any option besides her.
Would anyone happen to have an Echo of the updated plan of attack text, after the Masters join? I accidentally clicked ahead before I could save it.
Incidentally, the main reason I brought it up was in case you hadn’t sold the hams for scrip yet. You may yet wish to consider selling them for echoes to convert via the bone market. It’s more work, of course, but at least it doesn’t cut your prize in half.
Went to the Cultural Exchange, gave The Starved Men some wine and then the storylet up and B____y vanished before I could look at the other option locked behind a Quality provided by giving out the wine.
It’s a new weekly activity! Also that new option unlocks at 6 of the new quality. The puzzle-damask gives 3, the wine gives 2, and the extraordinary implication gives 1.
Well it would have been nice to know it was weekly refresh a bit earlier. /s
Don’t forget to grab a new Affiliation item from a card.
Not sure why you’re addressing that to me, I’ve had it for hours already.
Yeah it was one of the first things I got as as well.
Preponderance of Opinions, I’ll miss you my girl.
Actually come to think of it, the best Scrip exchange might be ARMS. Ivory humerus ain’t nothing.
She isn’t called the Traitor Empress for nothing, alas.
I think tinned ham might actually be the worst scrip option. There are normal items you can buy at the rat market that sell for scrip at less than a 50% loss. Ham is for converting scrip to echoes, not the other way around.
Ham is a perfectly fine way of getting echoes though. If you’ve got ham, sell it for echos and convert the echoes to scrip using any of the normal routes.
Your dancing days are done, oh Wagger of the Dog, I hardly knew ye.
