Notes on Sunless Stories
And on other parts of Sunless Sea which I frequently wanted to refer to for purposes of trading around the Zee making money

Unclear Device
Acquire from the Revolutionaries, or buy from the shop at the Grand Geode for 1 token
May only bring one.
This auto-clears one 'big stage' of the assault
Optimal use is probably to completely banish the boss, winning the combat and preserving the rewards

==============================
Sniper Promotion
==============================
Once the Reluctant Sniper's hunts are at an end, she can be brought to Polythreme or the Chapel of Lights to upgrade her to a different Officer.
Chapel of Lights:
	Unflinching Sniper, Gunnery Officer
Polythreme:
	Dancing Technician, Chief Engineer
Returning to Khan's Glory allows her to build something novel:
	Unflinching Sniper: Falcon, forward gun (Hull 36, Life 18, Crew 1, Stagger 6s), sellable at Chelonate for 999E
	Dancing Technician: Pike, engine, sellable at Grand Geode for +9 tokens, ~10,000E value

The Dancing Technician, and possibly also the Unflinching Sniper, allow you to acquire a Port Report at Khan's Glory if you have Recent News. This doesn't consume the Recent News and is worth 75 Echoes + Fuel, which is quite a good deal.

==============================
Comparative Port Report Rewards
==============================
Once you've accrued the Khanate favors to unlock their port reports, you may wish to sell information to whichever side is more interested in paying. Most reports are better-rewarded in London by a substantial margin, even if you aren't receiving Admiralty Favours, unless you want to buy the Khanate ship in Khan's Glory for 80 Khanate Favour. (It's a respectable midgame ship but unimpressive for the time needed.)

Advancing the Pirate-Poet's storyline makes Polythreme able to accept Port Reports. This provides the exact same rewards as the Admiralty, except for the Iron Republic (10E, 1 Fuel, -1 Terror) and 'Recent News' (treated as a report on London).

If you have Zubmariner, Unter-Unterzee reports may be turned in to Low Barnet to advance storyteller, which can be redeemed lucratively at 7. The Khanate and Polythreme are uninterested in these reports and will not buy them.
