Looks like ffutures has the final podium, the Chalice, and an appointment for some serious plastic surgery to add (or extend) limbs - podia for the occupation of.

v2.11 makes no difference. NaN still displayed at Digebiti. Could the NaNs be implying that no rail route exists between (Present.Location) and that destination. Thargoid bombing, triffid leaves on the line, or "the distance is too short to make a train link feasible. Which, crazy though it so...

Nobody else coming back on SF assassination techniques.
