In “Researchers and Collectors” replace the second paragraph with:

Each Individual has a Location, which is either a Place or Unknown, defaulting to Unknown.

Replace the text of “Places” with:

Several significant places are being observed by the Institute.

Add a subrule to “Places”, titled “Public Places”:

An Individual may Travel to any Public Place at any time by updating their Location to this effect. Whenever an Individual Travels to or from a Public Place, they must gain 1 Soul Damage.

  • Jerez
  • Kielce
  • Rennes
  • Eindhoven
  • Bergen
  • Norwich

Add a subrule to “Places”, titled “Secure Places”:

A Researcher may Travel to any Secure Place at any time by updating their Location to this effect.

  • The Institute
  • The Containment Facility

Add a subrule to “Places”, titled “Esoteric Places”:

Esoteric Places may only be Travelled to or from by methods defined in their descriptions, even if Travelling to a Place would otherwise be allowed.

  • The Warp
       
    • An Individual may enter The Warp by the use of an Artefact that allows it.
    •  
    • An Individual in The Warp can Swim Out of It to Travel to any Public Place by gaining 1 Spatial Damage.

Making the rules around Places easier to parse. Also patching a hole in the rules for The Warp which allowed you to ignore the Swim Out of It action.

imperial I’m not sure how much this really improves parseability. Or if anyone was seeing the Swim action as a barrier rather than an additional option.

This is maybe leaving it a bit on the implicit side that the things in the bulleted list are the Places.
