in the hopes that they will enable him to pin-point the locationof what he deems “Sabbat-pattern criminal activity”. I haveoffered to help.

– Joint Office of Camarilla Security created – EVANS wishes it toremain as informal as possible.

Personal Note: This fell through entirely. Evans creates his bureaucracy ashe sees fit, apparently.

Future Projects:– Attempt to use Madness Network to locate Sabbat, by bombarding

any Malkavian Antitribu with an impulse to call a traceablephone number.

Current Projects:– ROGER WILKINSON has agreed to work on computer security in the

Bobst Library secondary Elysium, but has been delayed in doingso.

Future Projects:– Fill vacancy in the Malkavian Primogenship.– EVANS has requested that I attempt to psychically read the ash

from COLIN's arms and legs.

Personal Note: He could do it himself, but he knows very well what thevision will be like. I can't decide if he's simply being practical or ifhe's afraid. Langston certainly had bad luck with this sort of thing before(idiot).

10/17/2005 – Additional Personal Note: The vision was as I expected. It feltvery much like Bojan ripping open my rib-cage, staking me, and then havingEvans saw my arms and legs off. Overall, however, I managed to maintain agrip on reality. Conclusion: Evans is a coward. Langston is still an idiot.

– Obtain Linked-Soul Elixir.– An unofficial meeting has been scheduled with one NEIDHART VON

MEIRLING (Ventrue), a Sabbat defector. Hopefully this will shedsome light on the nature of the Sabbat.

supernaturally power cockroaches, presumably from ITCH. In

10/14/2005 Elysium

addition to this, one of the prisoners was found un-staked.– A member of the Sabbat, who appears to have some ability that

allows them to move on the same plane as wraiths, was apparentlyspying on the Elysium. This Sabbat member has been encounteredpreviously in combat and has been identified as being of ClanSalubri (See further notes below for more details) The entiretyof this event was reported by ANGELUS DUNSIRN.

Notes Regarding Clan Salubri:– Clan Salubri is identifiable by the fact that every member of it

bears a third eye on the center of their forehead.– The Salubri were a Clan from antiquity that is now mostly

extinct. Originally they were divided into a Healer Caste and aWarrior Caste, although it seems that only the Warrior Casteremains.

– The Salubri are rumored to be infernalists, although there issome speculation that this was merely hearsay started by ClanTremere.

Personal Note: I discussed the Salubri with Jones to some extent, and giventhe outrageousness of his reaction, I'm inclined to believe the Tremere haveat least inflated if not fabricated the Salubri's reputation.

Network:– [M4] “My God... don't t...ure me b...r there... ... please...

keepit away Keep IT AWAY!!!”– [M4] “I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts... de dee dee DOO!”– [M5] (Sounds of shuffling and laughter)– [M3] “Green grass, green sky, green men who think they can buy

and sell slaves like puppies. They're dogs after all.”

Future Projects:– Obtain more Linked-Soul Elixir.

Arrivals:– No new arrivals

Events:– I personally attended the wake held for the Gangrel COLIN at a

warehouse in Statton Island. I brought the ashes prepared fromthe previous week's experiment.

– LANSING took KIM and MCGREGOR to view the 47th floor holdingcell. No prisoners were to be found and the two of them seem tobe satisfied.

– JONES voiced concern over tampering with a Tremere AntitribuChantry. (See notes below.)

Notes Regarding the Tremere Antitribu:– The Tremere Antitribu were a group of Tremere who defected to

the Sabbat.– Apparently the entirety of this Antitribu Clan has been wiped

out through some mystical curse.

Network:– [M6] “You have not the mentality to comprehend the simple math

of Cubic antipode creators, for at about age 6 your 2 oppositeantipode brains to Big Brother academic hirelings, to clonethought to screw evil singularity brotherhood-destroying Cubicfamilies, villages and tribes. Creation is by opposites;opposite hemispheres and opposite sexes – not queersingularity.”

10/31/2005 Elysium

But very very fast.

They all fall down but one. They won't stop the fighting until it's only one.”

Personal Note: I get the impression this has something to do with the Sumo tournament. I'm not sure however.

– [Crispin] “My body isn't under my control. I need to orderthings. When I order things I'm better. It's how I'm crazy. It'swhat it did to me. It's angry. I know. So it made me crazy, ittried to make me crazy.”

– [M9] “MOTHERFUCKERS! They have no taste... y'know? Gotta getoutside the box!”

11/07/2005 Meeting with Faustus

Notes Regarding Clan Giovanni:– The Giovanni are a family as well as a Clan, and generally are

Mafioso in addition to being Necromancers (getting their fingersin both Underworlds, so to speak).

– Originally, however, the Giovanni are descended from anotherClan, the Cappadocians.

– The curse of the Giovanni is that their bite cannot deliver theKiss. Instead, their bite brings great pain and suffering. TheCappadocians did not have the same curse as their descendantshowever.

Notes Regarding Setite Religion:– According the the Setite Religion, Set was the original vampire

(instead of the mythical Cain). Set created the thirteen Clans.– Set gained his powers of darkness after capturing Apep, the

Serpent of Darkness.– When each Clan turned away from Set, he cursed them and they

then proceeded to make others in their “flawed” image.– Setitism preaches freedom from the gnostic Aeons and the

conventions of everyday morality.

IMPORTANT: There is allegedly some form of Setite Sorcery whichcan cause a targeted victim to hallucinate snakes.

Notes regarding Devon Smith– Devon is part of some sort of Gaia-centric cult which operates

in Central Park. They call themselves the “Bone Gnawers”.– The leader of this group is known as UNCLE BOB – This group is cognizant of Kindred society, which it looks down

upon and refers to as “leeches.”–

Network:– [Evans] “The DDO of the CIA, Langley, Virgina”

Personal Note: Does he think he was in the CIA too now?

– [Evans] “He arrives at 8:30.”– [M10] “Warm in my hands. I hate to do it, but it has to be done.

I'm punished enough. I always hear him cry.”

11/20/2005 Meeting with Faustus

The Nine Gates of Setite Initiation:– THE GATE OF ECSTACY: An extreme experience of either pain or

pleasure which shocks you out of your normal reality.– THE GATE OF WRATH: To become so filled with anger and rage that

you act without concern or heed of conventional morality.– THE GATE OF SATIATY: To have something you want to the point of

being cloyed and disgusted by it.– THE GATE OF DESIRE: To want something so badly that you will do

what is shameful and degrading to obtain it.
