THE MONSTER OF EALING
Last night, several people reported the sighting of a "screaming red monster" in a quiet neighbourhood of Ealing. After a power shortage in the area, a building caught fire. It was then when, what was described as a "man shaped, footless creature" emerged from the flames, leaping, running, and screaming. One woman has told our reporters that the man had "teeth like a wolf, and the face of the devil". Police officers are still trying to get to the bottom of this; neither the power shortage nor the fire have still been explained. A spokesperson from Scotland Yard has stated that the "so called monster" might be a wounded person, escaping the fire.

TRAGEDY IN TOOLEY STREET
The police has found the bodies of three TFL workers in the construction site at Tooley Street. One of their colleagues raised the alarms last week, when the three workers didn't attend their shifts. The bodies of the men have been found in a deep hole, uncovered by the refurbishment works that are taking place in the area. According to the Police, the bodies were horribly mutilated, which has led to the wildest speculations. The names of the three workers are being kept anonymous, following the wishes of their families.

HOROSCOPE
MARCH 8 - PISCES
You are used to making sacrifices, to prioritising the happiness of others before yours. Even though that is a noble attitude, there are times in life where the only healthy alternative is to embrace your own selfishness and allow yourself some enjoyment. Reserve one hour per day to do something you really like. Treat yourself! Your colour for this month is blue.
Echoes from the past ring back into London. Their intensity increases until they are deafening. What once was a faded memory of a glorious time, now becomes a shocking reality. The consequences of actions taken decades ago ripple into the present, altering the lives of everybody in the City. Unguided and blind, Kindred wander around, trying to make profit out of the reigning chaos.


The appearance of four mysterious figures turned the city upside down. Mistrust and jealousy became the official currency of London. Serpents and fiends rise to power, misdirecting the blaming eyes of the Camarilla towards imaginary enemies. Only those with clear vision and the ability to trust each other strive, while the rest run towards a shallow grave.

You find yourself in London on a dreary, foggy night like any other. But what lurks in the shadows is the stuff of fantasies and nightmares, far from mortal reality.

Your fate is your own. Mingle among the ivory-tower elite in the Camarilla, join the fight of the discontented and chaotic Anarch rabble, or set out independently and attempt to survive in London's nighttime underworld. Anything is possible in our World of Darkness.

The first team had been inserted successfully, working their way into a position to observe the target building and start their assigned tasks. Their target building was a big ugly block of concrete. Most of the windows had been taped over with newspapers and other pieces of paper, othershad been boarded up completely. The neighboring buildings had about 60 feet distance to this oneand looked exactly the same, save for smaller details like the chain link fence with the company logo that was still in place, clinking while it moved with the occasional gust of wind, the satellte dish on the roof or th big antenna next to it.

They could see a man in dark clothes next to the main entrance. He was looking rather bored and tried to not call too much attention to his presence, but the glimming cigarette gave him away pretty easily. The facade was brick, it would be a challenge to climb, but not impossible with the correct equipment and a bit of experience. A few spots had caught Clarices attention already on the building layout, like the staircases, which had small windows that would be easy to avoid or a few morehidden corners in the angles of the buildings sides. The only obstacle was the 'guard'. And the cameras on the four corners of the buildings roof, slowly moving their focus over the perimeter.

She hated this, hated the uncertainty, hated the fact that they'd already been made. Because at this point? Heh, they couldn't do anything but admit to the enemy knowing they were there. Still, no rest for the wicked right? And no rest for burglars, specially not now that the clock was ticking down at double speed.

The other Brujah would wait for Clarice to pass her so that she could go back to guarding their back. Listening and watching for anything that might tip them off to another ambush.

She was not a crossbow fan.

OOC Mod Announcement


When they reached the end of the corridor, they discovered that the line of crossbows was not manned, but set up with a remotely controlled series of mechanisms. Toran easily discerned that theses devices were linked to sensors in the hall and set up to fire when movement was detected.

There were lots of doors in this corridor. The blueprints they memorized identified one as a stairwell. The others were mysteries.

What are they going to do next?

Toran motioned for Lucy to watch the stairwell and then began breaking into each room by the simple expediency of putting his shoulder into them and bursting them open with his potence enhanced shoulder.

He'd leave Clarice to scan each room carefully after he opened it and gave it a quick look with his shotgun in a one handed grip to open fire if necessary.

Clarice sneaked inside every room, keeping her head low in case Toran would use some firepower. She was looking for anything that might look like refridgerator, lab equipment, suspicious crates or research files, wearing her rubber gloves for mutual protection of her hands and target items. Bonus points for finding little baubles that could fall in her thievous hands as tonight's personal treasures

Toran and Clarice systematically searched the rooms on this level. Most were empty, some were storage. They didn't find the lab on this level--the closest they came was a room of what appeared to be extra lab equipment--vials, coats, petri dishes, and other things.

Clarice discovered a locked lockbox in one of the rooms. It was high quality and small enough to carry.

While Toran and Clarice were occupied with searching, two Kevlar outfitted individuals emerged from one of the unsearched rooms, and tried to attack Lucy from behind. One had a crossbow, and one had a stake.

When Toran emerged from the rooms and saw the two attacking Lucy he raised his shotgun and aimed from behind the visor on his helmet. Burning some of his pooled blood he used the minor speed he'd developed to trigger an extra shot from the tactical shotgun in his hands. Sending a second heavy slug screaming towards the man with the stake.

Clarice has unzipped her jacket a little and put the lockbox inside, more or less at her heart's height. Smelling some ruse she reached for her dagger and hammer, then followed Toran. After the shots were fired, she leaped forward with sole intention of cracking enemies' skulls and slitting their throats

The lockbox was a little big for Clarice to carry inside her jacket--it was large as a suitcase and unwieldy, though fairly light. She'll have to carry it by its handle and put it down when she does things like attack people.

Toran got one of the men with his shotgun--the one with the crossbow. Unfortunately, the other was behind the cover of the the wall--already in the stairwell and fighting with Lucy.

The second man was sandwiched between Lucy and Clarice. Between them, they'd be able to kill him or disable him, but not before he gets one hit in.

You get to decide who gets hit, and what portion of her body the stake is embedded in.

Well past the stage of a covert operation, Lucy let out a snarl as the stake dug into her mid section, taking the hit in order to take advantage of the subsequent opening caused by his attack.

She'd jam the pistol in under his chin and pull the trigger.

Toran wanted to see if the one with the shotgun was down, or just faking. He cocked a new round into the weapon and walked over to the body to push the barrel against the person's skull. If it twitched he'd pull the trigger and see if it could continue without a head. If need be he'd take a pot shot at the heart as well.

As it wasn't handy to keep hugging the lockbox to her chest, Clarice has carefully put it aside, memorizing the exact spot

She tried to stab the man's neck with her dagger, aiming to damage his spinal cord, thus incapacitating him

Toran, Lucy, and Clarice killed the fuck out of the two men attacking Lucy. From the smell of their blood, they'd been mortal, possibly ghouls based on the damage one had done to Lucy. The smell of their blood was immensely appetizing, especially to the injured Lucy.

Around now, each of them received a garbled message from one of the other teams. They however, couldn't tell who it was from or make out the contents. Toran ran a check, and discovered that while they could still talk to each other over his headsets, they could no longer contact the other teams. His educated guess was that their enemies had set up their own jammer inside the building--Team Sky was still out of its range, but if they descended a floor, their communications equipment might stop working.

Clarice received an urgent message over an unblocked channel--the Madness Network. It was a simple fact tinged with an almost overwhelming feeling of pain and anger: "Gideon Lockwood is Blackwood."

Toran reached over his shoulder and pulled out the last of his blood bags and tossed it to Lucy. His voice expressing concern as he moved past her down the stairs. He paused before getting to the bottom and reloaded his shotgun with solid slugs, his frost blue eyes half closed.

Then gripped the door knob and braced his shoulder against the stairwell door. His plan was pretty simple. He was hoping to rip the door off it's frame and use it like a shield to charge down the hall and flatten whatever was in front of him as he went down the hallway.

He shouted for the others to prepare to spread out and search behind him.

Clarice resisted the temptation to take a sip of blood, quickly leaving the body behind and picking up her treasure. She missed Toran moving downstairs, as the message struck her mind. She pressed her face against the wall, recovering after a while. She followed to the end of corridor, to catch up with the rest. She poked both Toran and Lucy, getting her face fairly close to the two and whispering:

Miss Jane... She's in trouble, this blueblood...Lockwood. He's the Blackwood! Get ready to fight him

She offered 2 remaining stakes to them before they moved on

There was no human threat present in the hall Toran charged into, but the door he was using as a shield took a few crossbow bolts as he charged down it, smashing into the crossbow rig at the end of the hall and demolishing it.

Clarice had been in contact with Jane's mind before, so she managed to correctly identify the source of the network-message. Unfortunately, the pain and single sentence hadn't told here where exactly Miss Marlow and Blackwood were. While they were now ready for a confrontation, they would have to decide where they should go looking for that confrontation.

Lucy hastily searched the rooms along the hall. Some were locked, most were empty, but two doors stood out. One had a barred window, and she could see within what appeared to be a cell. Another was locked, barred, and made of reinforced metal.

All of their radios were now blocked. Once he finished charging, based on the degradation of his radio's signal, Toran could estimate that the jammer had to be somewhere on the floor below them.

"Well, fuck. That's going to complicate matters. Hopefully whoever he's with snag him then because we've got to work our way down the entire building before we get to him. He was coming in from the street remember."

Toran's deep voice growled a reply to Clarice as he heard her warning. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach at the thought.

Toran wasn't going to complain about a tool that worked. He also wasn't going to complain about not finding any trouble. Doubling back he took his turn at the locked doors and his enormous boot heel with all the force his Potence fueled body could muster to slam them open and continue searching.

The evening had turned into a cluster fucked booby trapped smash and grab but he wasn't going to argue with what worked. He left Lucy and Clarice to look into the rooms once he'd opened them and when he got to the door with reinforced metal he took several deep and unnecessary breaths and then pulled out his thick bladed working knife. His intention was pretty simple. He was going to ram it into the seam where the door frame met the wall and wedge the two apart, applying a crowbar from his bag of tools to the nick made by the knife blade, so he could lever the whole secured door straight out of the wall. He'd call on Lucy to help with her own might if need be.

It took Toran a while, even with Potence and Lucy's help, to take this heavily reinforced door by force. It was a tense situation, being exposed in the hallway, knowing they'd just made a great big racket.

However, they weren't attacked again, and when Toran finally lifted the pried open door off its hinges, he revealed what appeared to be a very well equipped laboratory.

"This is what we've been looking for. We need to spread out, take samples, vials, anything that looks like it contains notes. Something we can work up a cure for. Then we got to set this stuff to burn out. Unplug everything, kill the coolant, open the fridges. Leave them nothing to work with."

His deep voice was a rumble as he started ransacking the lab, carefully. He wasn't willing to break any vials or beakers but he was looking for samples and anything that hinted at an antidote. He was stuffing file folders into his backpack and unplugging equipment as he went, smashing anything he KNEW didn't contain chemicals.

If he couldn't stop these assholes at least he could wreck the expensive equipment in their lab.

This is a thermal bag, let's put any stuff that needs cooling here. As for that portion of blood... Drink if you need

Having said that, Clarice removed the bloodpack from her emergency bag and put it on nearby table. If noone would use it, she would do it herself. She wasn't very focused on searching job, rather listening carefully what's going on in their surroundings. Without much hurry she looked for any documents, samples, pretty much anything that looks like results of Blackman's work. She was also using her pruner to cut every wire she found

Toran vandalized a bunch of electronics, and found a bunch of notes in a desk that he took some time to gather together.

Clarice snipped many wires, sometimes eliciting sparks, and collected a couple of samples before her careful attention to the outside world paid off--she heard someone moving in the hallway. She turned in time to see another armored figure, about to throw what looked like a homemade grenade into the middle of the room.

The room filled with deadly vampire-affecting disease cultures, and them.
