    The Kindred of Sacramento were appraised of the feeding difficulties quite some time ago. Several intrepid Kindred had investigated the situation, headed by the various Kindred at different times. Over the course of the investigation, a strange Kindred was captured and is currently being detained. An additional creature that looks like a cat has been captured. The Nosferatu Priscus continually calls the cat creature a cryptid. The tides of Sacramento have turned again, calling some Kindred to different shores. As the only Kindred who remains with the investigation, a Nosferatu makes a report to the Prince in the absence of the Reeve.
    A new night dawns. Two of the trouble makers are contained. Mr. Northbridge had detailed meeting an additional member of Forten's crew. New information had been gaine from the interrogation of the captives.

    What do you do with this information?

    Jennifer began the night in her sleeping quarters of the Necropolis. She carried white boards, dry erase markers and her computer bag containing her computer and notebooks to the sitting room that she had created adjacent to the Caldarium. The white boards are set up and Jennifer spends some time committing her notes onto the white boards. Two are dedicated to a chronological timeline of the investigation. One lists the players involved:

    Whiteboard #3
    1. Matthew Forten (Rapture)
    2. Roderick Singer (The Wrangler)
    3. Lottie (Searching for Angela)
    4. Matthew's students
    One thing was clear to her. Jennifer would need assistance to track the other members of Forten’s crew. Jennifer made a list of Kindred in the Domain who she would contact to bring into the investigation.
    Jennifer took an enlarged map of the city and marked all locations that Angela had mentioned in blue. The sites of the dead Kine were marked in red. She created small text tags next to the pins with helpful markers such as Death #1, #2, #Forten's Club, Forten's Car and so on. Jennifer sent Liam out to gather the local papers. She spent some time reading the papers, studying for mention of deaths in the city and determining if it was related to the cryptid.
    Jennifer placed a call to her contact in the media to inquire if there were any stories related to SIDS death or deaths of intoxicated people.

    Jennifer spent the night pursuing the investigation. She made a detailed summary of the investigation and made copies of her report to the Prince, removing the personal notes to the Prince and any mentions that could the Reeve look unfavorable.

    Jennifer created five individual envelopes that she marked Investigator which contained the summary of the investigation and were identical to one another. They included the cleaned version of her report to the Prince.
    She created a different envelope titled Players. Inside this envelope, she created a cardstock card of every player and the locations that they had been spotted at. The card included any details on the player, such as Forten being French and seldom visiting his high end shop. She created a duplicate of the above folders and placed them in plain sight in her sleeping quarters.

    The night had passed in a flurry of activity.

    The newspapers had a few obituaries involving two older Kine passing, a car accident that had killed two people and someone who had passed after an undisclosed illness, according to the obituary. The contact at the Bee told Jennifer that there were no such articles about the type of deaths that Jennifer described.
    The night was quickly shrinking and Jennifer had only a little time left.

    The dropping bodies had ceased with the capture of the cat and Angela. The Masquerade was protected, as far as Jennifer knew. There were no additional deaths. Perhaps this meant that Forten had only one cryptid? Jennifer updated the investigation summary in her own envelope and those marked Investigator. She would contact additional help for the next phase of the investigation. Jennifer moved to a desk that featured a gift from an ally. She spent several minutes crafting letters to her first two investigator candidates. Jennifer passed the letters to Liam to distribute as the evening had come to a close.
