Returning after a long absence - Where is SMEN?

I took a long break from the Neath, but returned after Sunless Sea came along.
I left while SMEN, working on S/S/C step, apparently after losing my soul for the 5th time. I recovered my soul, but have yet to draw the card I need to lose it for the next trip around the merry-go-round.
Am I needing to be in possession of certain objects in order to be eligible to draw the card? Or was the SMEN line changed? Or have I just been unlucky not seeing it in over 3 weeks?

This isn't quite accurate. I had been running it as a personal out-of-hours project because it lost us money to do commercially. Consequently, it was explicitly unsupported, no customer service, abandon hope all ye who enter here. It became apparent that wasn't a workable approach, so I put it on indefinite hiatus.
I still hope to bring it back, but it has to be de-fanged to be commercial content, we've had other priorities the last year, and it's been harder to find time now the company's grown. Maybe this year.

Curse ye! Your title made me think Seeking was coming back and I got all excited.
I've adjusted the post title to hopefully be a little less confusing to future forum browsers.

Alas, while you were on a break, SMEN went on a break as well. Currently there is no way to progress it, but the powers that be have stated that it will return in the future, subtly but irrevocably changed.
