Here’s this week’s thread for any Fallen London questions you don’t want to start a whole thread for!
I see from Hannah’s most recent newsletter that there is a new (?) community survey of ES stories. Which is locked behind a sign-in at Google.
Some of us prefer not to hand over information voluntarily to data-slurpers. Couldn’t somewhere better be found?

How about a new T4 profession? I have been thinking about this for a while now.
Neathbow has seven colours. Each color associated with a T4 profession.
Silverer - Cosmogone - Glasswork
Licentiate - Gant - Kataleptic Toxicology
Correspondent - Violant - Red Science
Monster Hunter - Peligin - Monstrous Anatomy
Crooked Cross - Apocyan - Mithridacy
Midnighter - Irrigo - A Player of Chess
The seventh T4 profession should affiliated to Viric and Shapeling Arts.
I presume Fingerkings and Rubbery are the two factions with a natural affinity to those of that profession.
If implemented, it should be thoroughly brainstormed. What are the T2 and T3 professions leading up to it? What perks does it bring, in contrast to the other T4 professions? What are the professional activities associated with it? Any implications on the existing four Ambitions? And how does it mesh with the already existing lore?

It’s not new. It has existed for several years, and is run by community members, no direct connection with FBG staff. What is new, as of last year, is the switch from issuing a completely new survey each year to maintaining the same survey in perpetuity, on which users can at any time update their responses and add responses for new content.
I am sympathetic to your desire to avoid entanglement with Google. You could register a throwaway gmail account in a private browser on a VPN for the sole purpose of taking the survey.

Have I just not been able to see this, or was this a stealth patch? It’s so simple and elegant and I love it.
I’m aware that it’s not linked to FB.
Having been here quite some time, I also know there was a time when I did take part because no sign-in was required. So that changed along the way.
Frankly, my interest is not such that I would register with a throwaway account. All the rest is part of my everyday web security.
It’s a not that stealthy patch, since it was just documented in the latest patch notes!
Is there a way (or a reason) to re-sell your soul, if you’ve just unexpectedly re-acquired it in a Surprise Package?
Yes, you can sell it again in the same way you sold it originally (unless you lost it via the Intimate of Devils storyline, which can only be played to completion once).
The reason to resell it is to get money for it again.

Does A Latent Network have an expiration date? Does it vanish with Time the Healer? Or can I bench it indefinitely until I need it?
A Latent Network stays until you use it, I believe.
