The Fourteenth Day of October, 1886
As this chapter opens, the sonorous voice of the Lord Chancellor addresses the Council of Knights in the roundtable room of the Palace of Westminster. He speaks of centuries of tradition, and of The Order’s sacred mission to preserve the balance between Man and Half-breed.

Legend has it that the Lord Chancellor fought side by side with The Order’s founder, none other than King Arthur himself. But when Sir Perceval calls for a mission into Whitechapel, the Chancellor dismisses it as a matter for the civil authorities. Not even the intercession of the Lords Darwin, Hastings, and Dunglass can persuade the Council to act in Whitechapel.
When the meeting ends, walk Galahad completely around the table, stopping if you want to eavesdrop on fellow Knights, including a tense conversation between the Lord Chancellor and his daughter, Lady Igraine. Exit the council hall to trigger a series of scenes.
First, Lord Hastings speaks to a peer of a pending voyage across the Atlantic to America aboard the Agamemnon, a massive airship built by the United India Company. Then Sir Perceval makes a pitch to Sir Lucan, the Knight Commander, for an incursion into Whitechapel. (Lucan, born Alastair D’Argyll, is also son of the Lord Chancellor and brother to Lady Igraine.) Perceval receives grudging, unofficial permission to make a reconnaissance. And so, as Commissioner Doyle might say, “The game is afoot!”
Follow Tesla
After Galahad has his own short conversation with Lucan, you hear Nikola Tesla call from just down the hall. Follow Tesla around the corner to the elevator to trigger the next scene.
