    Lina Moretti

    To speed this along, feel free to come in and dump intelligence right away so we can get back to it! Anybody who wants in on the plot can come here to be assigned.


    Kindred had gathered at the Sheriff's call, bringing together any and all who wished to assist the Domain in dealing with the Hunter menace. Some were veterans, fighting this fight with guile and wit since the beginning. Others were new to the problem, taking their first steps in service of the Domain.

    In any case, Lina Moretti and her ever-present whiteboard were present, wheeled into the central space of Elysium.

    "Talk to me, folks. Tell me what you've got."

    Lindasfarne (M, Mediterranean, big mustache, shoulder length black hair): ACTIVE. Safe-cracker.
    McGregor (F, no distinguishing features): ACTIVE. Medic, C/N: doesn't look like a fighter.
    Giuseppe (M, tanned, penchant for wearing suits): ACTIVE. Arms dealer. Confirmed as a member of the Italian Mafia (L. Moretti)
    Laxalt (M, tall, wilf hair, bags around eyes): ACTIVE. Swordsman. Uses BROADSWORD. Informant praised Laxalt's combat prowess.
    Jerry Game (M, good-looking for the camera): ACTIVE. Subject indicated that Game is a "sorcerer". Interviewee claims Game can shoot balls of fire from his hands and gave all hunters a mantra. Possibly to protect against Disciplines.

    Dr. Culpepper (M): MISSING.
    Jonas (M, no exceptional features): MIA. Not heard of since visiting street Dr. Culpepper
    Moretti (M, hearty, big): DECEASED, killed by Izayoi Goto - Hunters believe Tribulation Militia killed him (though unproven)
    Jebediah Matthews (M, scrawny, mustached): DECEASED, killed by Aaron van Valen after interrogation

    Tribulation Militia (regional Hunter group; tenuous alliance with Bushwhackers BROKEN due to Moretti's death):

    Derrick (M, suspected leader of the Tribulation Militia): Known to haunt Elk Grove in <<area>>, where he is a street preacher. To be investigated.
    Remainder of the Militia is secretive.

    North Sacramento Hunters (under Yusuf/Ronnie G):

    Yusuf (M, no desc avail.): ACTIVE. Spiritual leader of unnamed Hunters in North Sacramento. Yusuf owns a gym. Notably, interviewee implied Moretti (an ally) had to escape the gym after seeing it first hand.
    Ronnie G (M, no desc avail. during interrogation): ACTIVE. Instrumental in forming the Bushwackers. Coordinates hunter efforts from a vigil set up in Sacramento. Noted to have significant influence.
    Pico (M, mulatto): ACTIVE. Assists Ronnie G. Noted to have never worked with the Tribulation Militia.

    Ronnie G and Pico are known to believe that the Bushwhackers are falling apart.

    Uncertain Allegiances:

    Bruce Harcourt (M, unknown description): ACTIVE. Former pornographer hosting significant parties in the tunnels under Old Sac. Paid off the Gang Task Force. Known to be collecting various weaponry, including knives and firearms.
    SPD Gang Task Force: ACTIVE. Known to be significantly funded and operating in South Sacramento, Florin and Elk Grove.

    Hunter Logistics:

    Tunnels underneath Sacramento lead all over the city. Areas of interest:
    a) Bruce Harcourt's Party Nest under Old Sacramento
    b) Potential Additional Site (per J. Davis)

    Bushwhacker Safehouse Located at <<Address>> (per C. Verne)

    Ronnie G's Bar Located at <<Address>> (North Sacramento). Soundproofed Meeting Site between Hunter Groups on second level (per L. Moretti). A meeting transpired here, wherein Ronnie G and Pico indicated they thought the Bushwhackers were falling apart. Surveillance revealed that some Hunters believe the Tribulation Militia killed Moretti, though it is unproven. Unknown Hunters believe that there are no further vampires in Elk Grove (where Bushwhackers and Tribulation Militia destroyed the Brood), and that the Tribulation Militia should be left to 'mop up', as they have new targets.

    Yusuf and his Hunters Located at <<Area>> (North Sacramento)

    Sites/Assets to be Researched:

    An unknown industrial estate in Folsom where fires occurred - to be researched by Contacts
    USB Stick Acquired From Pico (by Twist) - computer analysis completed

    Forensics on Junkyard:

    Maitland Junkyard was a Belial's Brood Haven that was attacked from both the front and the tunnels below. Sophisticated directional explosives were used to assault the Haven from the tunnel network and create a firestorm from behind. (Further from Dr. Simmons)

    Mable entered the meeting area and greeted Lina, "Sheriff Moretti, good to see you. I personally don't have much to report. I was more of a look out in our search for Derrick. I do believe the rest of the group will have some useful information." Mable then went to the white board and read over the information.

    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    The Prince enters the room, heading over to the whiteboards, hands clasped behind her back as she looked them over.

    "I can help with a description of Ronnie G, I've dealt with him before. Though I don't like he likes me much. And of course Giuseppe," a shake of her head, "I'd like to take him out personally." her upper lip curled in anger, no one fucks her over.

    John Davis

    Davis entered the meeting from the back alley entry reserved for the Nos. Tipped his hat to each one present and reviewed the white board before speaking.

    "Master Lindasfarne is secured. I have him in my employ at the time being and can be dealt with once he is no longer of any use." Lina was there the night he was dealt with. Davis only hoped that the hunter's death wouldn't be required until after he is finished working on the boat.

    "I have an elaborate plan to draw out McGregor. As well as Master Harcourt. You could say I have discovered that man's weakness and it is one we can most definitely exploit to secure him. I do however say we approach with extra caution. His party den connects to a ritual site that myself with the help of the Crone uncovered. We have not returned to investigate it, but I can confirm that it connects to the Party Den. Master Harcourt has many associate hunters in his employ. Some that may have already be able to identify certain individuals among us on sight, despite our abilities to mask ourselves." Davis deliberately left out the discovery of the Plague Cat and Bugsy. He wasn't sure what the Crone's plans were with Cat and Lina seemed to want to inform the Prince about Bugsy.

    Daeva Curse - Glutton for Praise:
    Blackbird's ego often gets her into trouble. If someone offers Blackbird praise or compliments regarding her abilities when attempting to recruit her for a task, she finds the request quite difficult to refuse, even if such an action might be particularly dangerous to her well being.

    Blackbird slipped into Elysium, conservatively in a navy blue dress and a pair of black kitten heels. The conversation was already underway and, after she spotted the Colonel, the neonate moved to his side, maintaining her distance, but nonetheless staying in the southern Kindred's sphere. It was only natural. After all, she had worked with John and Aaron in the last field mission and, thus, associating herself with the pair seemed more prudent. Priscus van Valen was not yet here.

    Blackbird clasped her hands before her as Davis explained the group's victory - and the enthralled boon Aaron had twisted to servitude. She would stay silent, however, no need to repeat the findings. Instead she would offer a smile as she regarded the other Kindred.

    The neonate had come for assignment. She was now a Deputy after all and had to make herself available to aid in the Domain's defense. Uncertain whether or not her assignment had been made public, Blackbird's pistol was left in the coat room. Bringing it in if the Prince was uninformed... would have meant Final Death.

    Short on bodies, they were, different units not quite having come together yet to report in. No matter. As the Kindred of Sacramento trickled in, giving their brief reports, she added and changed things on the board. The arrival of the Prince was a pleasant surprise. "Your Majesty," she said, bowing her head. "There was actually something I wished to address with you, ma'am. Rumours of a new gang arming up in North Sacramento, buying guns and whatnot from desperate dealers from San Francisco."

    A sly grin flashed across her youthful face.

    "I wondered, perhaps, if La Famiglia had an interest in crushing the hell out of that. Mostly mortals against mortals, to make a point...? We could have some Kindred backup nearby in case things go wrong, but gangs doing their thing in North Sac where Yusuf is keeping the Gang Task Force away seems to be a solid way to stop them - and create enough noise that the Gang Task Force will have no choice but to be drawn north. The aftermath should complicate Yusuf and Ronnie G's lives. Make it harder for them to operate."

    Davis's report received a nod, and she raised a finger as though to pause the decision making right quick.

    "Before we get further into the Hunter business, there's two points I want to make. One: your Majesty, Mr. Davis found out while we were infiltrating Bruce Harcourt's party den that apparently, one of their old potential Hunter buddies isn't hanging around with them anymore. A fella named Bugsy. Apparently, he got a job here. At Nox. One wonders what he could tell us - and if he's already controlled by Kindred, or if he's a Hunter plant."

    A second finger came up, for the second point.

    "Two: I learned that Lindasfarne's boys know people are looking into them and are on the lookout. Meaning everyone needs to make damn sure your identities are solid if you're going to run people down with mortal connections, and also, schemes to lure aside members of that crew are going to be more challenging. I want to know what happened in the lookin' around for Derrick. Anybody have that information?"

    Waited a few days for people to join, moving this plot along.

    Mable has given a bow of the head to Ale when she came in.
    She smiled at John when he arrived. And gave a quick nod of acknowledgement to Blackbird upon her arrival.

    Lina spoke and Mable silently swore in her head that no one else from her group arrived yet.

    "Sheriff Moretti, I didn't see or hear anything first hand but the group did tell me afterwards that we have a new location for Derrick. He is east of elk grove working with druggie youths. He has some people he was working with Ken, Juanita, and Lincoln. Those are the names I think." Mable shared what she knew. "I'll text the others if you would like to see if they have more intel."

    This had been more a chance to update herself on what was going on and offer her own insight. But the lack of bodies was making it clear she might need to step out from behind the desk.

    Which suited her just fine.

    Davis’s words were heard, but she was letting Lina take the lead with this. And as such, didn’t say anything. Not unless she had to.

    Looking to Lina, a sly smile appears, “A new gang?” that could be fun.

    Chuckling, “Your Italian is good.” A nod, “And it certainly does, it is my playground after all. What do we have on them? Locations, movements, key players. If not much, I can put some feelers out.” Knowing what they were dealing would make it easier to wipe them out. “And if Ronnie G is still being trouble, I have no problem going to see him. It would make him,” a pause, “very unhappy to see me.” She just didn’t get the warm fuzzies from him.

    “Here? Oh well we need to sit down and have a little talk with him then. Though I personally think a Lord would be more successful with getting information. Don’t get me wrong, I can get information, but I’m not as,” another pause, “nice about it. And that can complicate things.” A hand waved dismissively, it was true. Her methods weren’t friendly. “If he’s a plant, he can be put down.” Nonchalant.

    Now that was concerning.

    “Do we know how they know?”

    "I do know how they found out, yes," Moretti replied. "Though not specifically who is at fault. I'd imagine we can get that information through interrogation down the road. Diego Pinzon was a thug assigned to bodyguard Lindasfarne. I made friends with him. He mentioned that 'things' are looking into him, and that the thing that drew attention to it was 'people whose identities don't add up'."

    Blink. Blink.

    "Which tells me some people were pulling strings without having proper identities. I know that wasn't me, because I've got real ID and a government license to be a PI. So."
    She glanced about at the others, then back at the Prince. "Frankly, someone shit the bed on basic Masquerade cover for mortal influence. I'll figure out who. This isn't something that can happen again."

    Moving along.

    "As for the buy... it's happening on an old bridge uptown, real soon. If your people are going to assert dominance over the Underworld in the... traditional way, then that would be handy. Real helpful, too, if Giuseppe were to get smoked in the crossfire."

    Davis remained quiet until given permission to speak. The women of this matriarchy were in control, a hard fact he had quickly learned. Like a good obedient dog, he would sit and watch.
