Your Majesty,

I write to advise you of developments in the Echelon case, wherein various influences were being arrayed to generate construction and control over different groups in the Rosemont-Mather area. Our agents have infiltrated and investigated various leads, and though information is still forthcoming as we continue, the scientists Dr. Simmons and Jacque were investigating a building services manager named Cummings. That man was poisoned.

The poison was chemically investigated. Scientific reports reveal that this poison is effective and very dangerous against Kindred.

I am led to believe that there is either a Kindred hand at work here - or that Hunters are trying to develop a chemical weapon for counter-vampire operation. At this time, I am leaning toward the former, but am not excluding the latter.

We will update you as further information comes available. Please be advised that the following Kindred are currently investigating elements of this case with me:

Jacque
Garrett Prosper
Adam Exlibrist
Derek Menzies
Dr. Rebecca Simmons
Mable Wood

So far, they have all performed quite well.

More to follow.

Lina Moretti
Sheriff of Sacramento
