In the subrules of “Crime & Commerce”, remove “(although this is a Crime)” from the sentence where Flea Market is bolded, and replace “may pay 1 Valve” or “may spend 1 Valve” (whichever exists) with “may spend 1 Housing”.

In the rule “Overland Navigation”, after “As a Mechanised Action Machinists in the System of Control may”, add “spend 1 Valve to”.

i think that spending Housing to make arrests and spending Valves to instead communicate with the Great Machine makes quite a bit more sense.

and i think we’ve all agreed that the Flea Market doesn’t make sense as a crime?

Do we need to change Valves to Speaking Tubes?

no, this is specifically working against that interpretation! Speaking Tubes would be used to communicate with other humans, but Valves are used to communicate with the Great Machine — perhaps because its “brain” is just a series of vast mechanical & hydraulic contraptions which can be influenced by rerouting valves :0

I still think the Flea Market should be illegal in some instances, but I’ll need to think on how to make it interesting. You’re still dealing in objects that were likely ripped from the machine, after all.
