Thanks for the answers! I'll keep an eye out for it to appear on the fate page, then.
One other question: Is it true that one doesn't get a criminal record for failing to rob the brass embassy? I would like to make the acquaintance of the repentant forger, but keep my criminal record nonexistant. The only options I knew of so far was having connected: the masters 5 or a certain rather hungry path...
Yes, failing to rob the brass embassy will whisk you away to prison without adding to your criminal record. This is specifically the Brass Embassy; the other Big Score targets will add to your record.

McGunn/Bsymstad is on the slow boat, waiting to see if he can find out what death is. (I'm done with London for now. Thanks for everything!)
Amanda Albright is a *spoiler* now, like she always wanted.

Just at the Pathfinder level - Tanah-Chook was nothing more than an unremarkable islet off the coast of Venderbight, with no story of its own, until Failbetter very kindly chose it to host an offshoot Tomb-Colony for the Exceptional Story!

Middle-click also works, if you're using a mouse with a scroll wheel. I actually wasn't aware that spoiler tags and links didn't behave very well - good to know.

The Slavering Dream-Hound has a Rare card that wipes your Wounds and gives you Rostygold (20 per level of Wounds, I think). That's the only somewhat helpful thing that comes to mind.

If you've unlocked Empress's Shadow (which I recommend for the story alone), you can teach at Sinning Jenny's Finishing School to refill your opportunity deck and thus get more chances to draw favor-providing cards. If your class includes a nun, you can possibly earn a church favor as well. A full cycle through the school takes 12 actions and also pays out in assorted material rewards (including hard-to-find Dubious Testimony and particularly elusive Moves in the Great Game).

Dubious Testimony is now readily available from public lectures in the Forgotten Quarter, for what that's worth. Only a couple per action, but they're also virtually never used, so quantity isn't much of a problem.

I'm not sure about the second question, but I believe the first answer is:
[spoiler]Not a devil, but Feducci. He specifically requested that position after helping Hell with their revolution.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]There's an option in the dream to speak with the helmsman which reveals that it is indeed Feducci.
Another fun fact: Feducci is still in league with the Embassy, to an extent. Their collusion can be observed here, from the Foreign Office carousel ending unlocked by siding with the Teeth in the Fate-locked Mysteries of the Foreign Office.[/spoiler]
