Black Water

To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. Black Water has decided not to pursue any more sites on our behalf. I told them, at the outset, that the Alps were not a good target, that there were better ones elsewhere, but the Alps were close and accessible and not a potential war-zone or underwater. Better to pursue an easy target if it might yield success than pursue a hard target that's a better target, but which might fail. That was their reasoning so far as I can tell anyway.

I got a call from some anonymous worker bee at Black Water and a very tersely worded apology regarding any future targets. Then I read what actually happened after my Canadian friends visited the Alps. Basically Executor happened, and I'm really pissed about it. I fully believe that if Executor had kept his long nose out of my research, Black Water might have continued to look into some of the other sites I suggested. At least it would have helped me cross some off my list, whether they continued to pursue the cheap and local options or not. It's a darn sight better than I can do considering my limited funds and mobility.

So... now what do I do? Any Indiana Jones types interested in traveling on their own dime to parts exotic to see if they can find ancient relics to help in our fight? All I can promise is danger both mundane and supernatural and possible disappointment as well.

Better than sitting on your hands and doing nothing though, right?

News to keep you in the loop

Hello there...

I hope the posts up to this point have at least been helpful to those looking for answers. You might have noticed that (up until recently) we had no centralized base of operations, the better to keep our individual authors safe. I thought we'd be more secure that way, not keeping all our eggs in one basket as the saying goes. Unfortunately, with the attack on Shady last month, I had to revise that assessment. Maybe we should be more aggressive, maybe we should have been from the start. Since heading into Jersey, we've begun taking in anyone needs it, and we'll continue to do so. Runners, ex-proxies, fighters, in short- anyone who needs a safe haven. Our place is as safe as I can make it, and I add new protections every day. I've offered that info here for anyone willing to try it, though I know magic is not everyone's cup of tea.

I can't make promises for the future, but for the present, our place is safe. We have long term plans which we would like to implement, given the funds and hands to get the job done. We've already had some contact with Blackwater to the extent that they've opted to send men to one of the sites I suggested. I hope it bears fruit, but it's not at the top of my list of potentials. Potential whats... I'll not say in public, not yet.

You should know that I'll do whatever I can for anyone who asks. Whether you need help or want to know how you can help, post here and I will answer. You see those links at the top of the page? Go there and post if you have info to share. News, discoveries, tactics, your location if you need help... I think it's time we stop sitting alone in the dark, worrying about who or what is on the other side of the door, and start helping one another like human beings should.
