2025-12-12
- Black vans, drones, sniper believed to be connected, possibly Anubis Group (multiple shell companies, ties to Prospect and Los Angeles).
- Sniper did not attempt to retrieve journal.
- Anubis Group may be a front or rival of Order of St. Michael.
- Vegard's orders: do not draw attention, quietly identify root causes and eliminate issues.
2026-01-02
- Order of St. Michael seeks Christian relics lost during or after World War I. Current target is "Angel's Blood", aka Sanguis Angelorum, whatever that is. West Horizon Realty LLC (front company, presumably for the Order) has been buying up old churches.
- Augur_1837 traced to Paladin Games.
2026-01-09
- Morgue security guard unnaturally unconscious, rose petals nearby (to frame someone, presumably Gaunt).
- Court interrogates Marcus's spirit. He sensed the church warding, and talked to someone else about an occult investigation group meeting at a game shop near UC Prospect.
- Second body (since identified as Bill) dropped off, killed by claw attacks. Court removes body to be investigated elsewhere.
2026-01-15
- Court interrogates Bill's spirit. He was killed by an unnatural creature (since identified as hybrid #2; humanoid, claws, bone plating, no pain reaction when shot by police; likely connected to railyard and Echo Bridge events, and black vans; possibly another attempt to frame Gaunt). He may have been killed just for happening to be there.
- Court investigates Pilot Travel Center. Blood trail leads to large steel culvert beneath road.
2026-01-22
- Astral scouting turns up:
- Hybrid #2, dead or at least incapacitated.
- A kindred matching the biker's description and MO (since identified as Daniels), severely injured, presumably due to taking out the hybrid.
- Biker was fed enough to draw him further from the point of Final Death, then staked for safety reasons before both of them were evacuated to the cells at Secrets.
2026-01-29
- Biker is unstaked, fed more, and interrogated.
- Identifies himself as Daniels, deputy to Sheriff Mitchell of Los Angeles, tasked with tracing the hybrids to their source. Says their creators are field-testing them.
- Used a silver bullet to kill hybrid #1, which was merely distracted by police gunfire.
- Mentions "strange rumors" about the Court of Prospect, implying prior suspicion that the source was local to us rather than them.
- Mentions Bright Sun, a holding company shipping freight out of Laguna Beach. About three months ago, they received a major funding increase and expanded throughout the West Coast.
- Released to contact Sheriff Mitchell, politely invited to attend our court.
- Hybrid #2 was released from a van, starving. Dragged a trucker out of his truck and fed, spat some blood back into his mouth, then heard Bill nearby and killed him, then was attacked by Daniels.
- Autopsy of hybrid #2 is pending.
