The Circumspect Envoy's townhouse is a hoard of state secrets. Citizens with an interest in the city of Arbor's business would pay highly for them.
Londoners who frequent the secretive strata of the Flit will now find a new Heist at the Circumspect Envoy's Townhouse!
You can access the Flit via your Lodgings, providing you have 50 Shadowy - or enough moon-pearls to bribe your way.
You can also access the Flit by drawing The Ways of the Flit card from your opportunity deck.

I just finished my fourth heist to see all the different responses from the Injurious Princess, and they're all absolutely lovely. They're on my profile if anybody with a different ambassador wants a look.

First of all, I love Heists in general. Second of all, I really like the branching reward structure of this heist. It increases replayability, and it promises to dole out a healthy amount of lore over a reasonable amount of action investment.
This new content continues the trend we saw last year that items that were previously extremely limited are now becoming more available.
[spoiler]I stole the secrets of the Rosers. Echoes in my journal. Reward from selling to London's Ambassador are 2xPresbyterate Passphrase, 1xFavor in High Places, 1xVital Intelligence(!!!), for a total echo value of 30.00.
Note that if you sell to the Ambassador, the reward text reflects your choice of who that person should be from Hallowmass. Seeing as I am the Ambassador, the wording is a little awkward.[/spoiler]
Edited because I cannot math.

Just the other day I was thinking how great it would be if we got new heists and zailing destinations.
Excellent news!
Now if we get a little something for zailing too, I'll be as happy as a clam.

Both Heists and Expeditions have to do with the Rosers.
It could be that the Parabolan Base Camp is approaching. Or something Parabola-related anyway.

Yeah, I received an e-mail about it and went on another run for that particular result. I was delighted to see the Widow herself.
At the same time, I stole the Rosers document again on a character that got the Duchess as the Ambassador and noticed there's a small but striking difference in the Duchess' respond between the result I got properly and the one I got from the bug.

To be clear, the "Purloined Paperwork" quality reflects which paperwork was burgled by parties unknown, not how much of it. You have Paperwork #3, not 3 piles of paperwork. And you must, erm, "offload" that one before another one can somehow make its way into your hands through no fault of your own.

On one hand, it's nice to see artifical scarcity being remedied somewhat. It can be kind of odd if any old zee-captain can get a live specimen with proper payment, but any Fallen London-playing citizens (even one who are also highly experienced at zee, incidentally) were limited to a select few rare sources no matter how vast their wealth.
On the other hand, the entire game (at least, its mechanical/collectionist aspect) is founded on articifial scarcity, as is the nature of games involving the collection of virtual items. Having certain items be unusual and rare added some flavour in a way. I always liked the fact that Silent Souls were, for no discernible reason, only acquirable once a year or so, and didn't have any obvious use - adding an air of mystery to the already unusual item. And I hope I'll never see the day when my Recipe for Zzoup or my Tins of Zzoup become commonplace commodities.
All that being said, new lore is always appreciated, and the new gameplay sounds positively great: I always did like heists, so more options on that front is extremely welcome!

Alas! I know I saw that warning, but I guess I forgot about it in the excitement. Well, we already know what happens when we sell that particular information to ... er ... back to ourselves, so let's see what happens with the Glass Faction....
[spoiler]
The secrets of the Rosers is worth, to the magicians of the Glass:
2 x Live Specimen
1 x Puzzling Map
1 x Silent Soul
That's 30 Echoes, I believe. There again, I don't think I've ever possessed a Live Specimen, and Silent Souls seem pretty hard to get, so this might be something to grind in the future, just to have the things.

I noticed something. I attempted to get 7 instead of 5 in the Heist quality, and the rewards changed. The Ambassador (me) handed me among other things an Antique Mystery and some artifacts.
Unfortunately I lost the copy I made, but 7 seems to bring different rewards than 5. I will try the same for the Glass.
Are you sure you did not steal different documents? There's five different sets of rewards, 4 vary with which documents you picked (the Purloined Paperwork quality) and one is always available. The wax tablets give a mystery, an artefact, an antique hunting rife and 5 dubious testimony if you trade them with the ambassador.

Pretty sure Tuxi's observation is correct.
Just to avoid further confusion, here are the rewards for trading in the various documents:
[spoiler]
- collection of scrolls about the Kingdom of Vesture: 2 x Vital Intelligence, 2 x Outlandish Artefact
- series on the succession laws of Arbor: 1 x Favour in High Places, 1 x Magnificent Diamond, 10 x Memory of Distant Shores
- vellum book on the Rosers: 2 x Presbyterate Passphrase, 1 x Favour in High Places, 1 x Vital Intelligence
- set of wax tablets, inscribed with ancient treaties: 1 x Ancient Hunting Rifle, 1 x Antique Mystery, 5 x Dubious Testimony, 1 x Outlandish Artefact
- Deliver any documents to the Glass: 2 x Live Specimen, 1 x Puzzling Map, 1 x Silent Soul [/spoiler]
