As a low-level character, this event is so funny because I couldn't go anywhere for clues or diplomacy, yet the powers-that-be have *still* decided that a person with only 1 stat above 100 is competent enough to be named captain of her own airship

Benito Sylvain (born Marie-Joseph Benoît d'Artagnan Sylvain; 21 March 1868 – 3 January 1915) was an Haitian journalist, diplomat, lawyer. He also participated and organized the 1900 Pan-African Conference.
Sylvain pathed the connection between Afro-descendants and Africans and became a representative for these groups that were colonized by France. He is arguably considered to be a pioneer of Pan-Africanism.
Benito Sylvain was born in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, in 1868. In 1887, he finished his studies in Paris at the Collège Stanislas, then attended law school, where he obtained his license and then his doctorate.
Supported by his country that appoints the officer of Marine and secretary to the embassy in London, Sylvain founded in Paris in 1890 a weekly committed against French colonialism, La Fraternité (which appeared until 1897).
In 1897, Sylvain staying in Ethiopia became the aide-de-camp to Emperor Menelik II, who defeated the Italians at the Battle of Adwa. Sylvain represented both Ethiopia and Haiti at the 1900 Pan-African Conference held in London, and was appointed as honorary president of the Pan African Association.
In 1906, Sylvain, who attended all lectures against slavery, published in Paris his principal work, entitled On the fate of the natives in the colonies of exploitation, an indictment against colonialism.
As there were very active Afro-descended students in France, including his compatriot Haitians, Sylvain endeavoured to make the connection between Afro-descendants and Africans, in a spirit of resistance to European colonialism, which he reasoned was a new form of slavery

Evolution has a good plot and good writing and I am enjoying it and I am aware that I very likely wouldn't enjoy it half as much if it were easier to do but. I just finished my Ambition. I'm flat broke. The next step needs what???

ROUND 2, MATCHUP 7
[ID: The map of Fallen London and the image for Port Cecil from Sunless Sea, with the letters "VS." between them. End ID.]
Oh boy, it's a Neathy one! Fallen London is deep, dark, marvelous, and very strange, but is it as strange as Port Cecil, the chess-obsessed colony on top of a coral archipelago?
...Yes! Probably! London does have the Bazaar, after all. Listen, they're both very strange and I love them both. But let's get to the vote before I start spelling things Britishly.
Please remember: There are no bad cities, only bad citizens! Keep trash-talk to a minimum! Despite the name, this is for fun, not fighting.
