The Poseidon Matter

Soon after the attempted coup by the Lycans to overthrow the Ordo Noctics Eternus (British Vampire Coven) an investigation was launched to find out how they had managed to mobilise so quickly and always hit at the most vulnerable area of the Order. The proposal was brought forward that the Lycans had inside help from within the Order. Such a scandal would have devastating consiquences and was initially rebuked by the council. However, they could not escape the fact that such a betrayal was the only credible explanation for the events that had occured, however no proof could be found. Several months passed.

Recalled from New York, Kensington returned to London, to the seat of the Order to take charge of the investigation, which by now had stalled. After several weeks search he tracked down a source which provided him information which proved that someone within the Ordo Noctis Eternus had indeed provided informatiion to the Lycans, though not directly. The information came in the form of a scrambled email, there were no names in the email, but it hined at a larger plan, something which had tried to use the Lycan attacks as part of it, sadly for the plotters this had failed, but it seemed that such a setback would not deter the plotters. It would seem that further plans would be set in motion.

The email had been titled "Poseidon".

Kensington had traced the IP address that originated the email and found it to come from New York. Kensington and his team returned to the city to continue their inverstigation and ultimately foil the plot to destroy the Ordo Noctis Eternus and discover the conspirators.

The Poseidon Matter

UPDATE 31/08/09

After tracing the IP address to New York, Kensington and his team eventually located the computer terminal which sent the email. The computer was in a large office complex belonging to Xeno Corp. After some background checks the business appeared to be legitimate.

The team had snuck into the building one night and planted surveilence devices on the computer. They were able to identify the user of the terminal and began watching his every move. However the man didn't appear to have any connection whatsoever to any Lycan or Vampire activities. Rather than waste more time, effort and money on monitoring this man, they hired a private investigator to take over whilst they focussed their efforts on tracking the New York Lycans.

Several days passed without incident, then the P.I. reported that his target had sent another email regarding the Poseidon matter. Kensington and Jack went to question the man. They turned up that evening as the man was leaving his office. He appeared to have no knowledge whatsoever about anything called Poseidon. When Kensington probed the man's mind he could feel that something had been altered.

When they questioned the man further he had become defensive and had struck out at Jack. Angered by this Jack had revealed his true vampiric form, hoping it would scare the man into cooperation. It failed and the man fled.

The insuing chase resulted in the man's death, but not before Kensington had ripped the information he needed from the man's mind. The man had unknowingly been used as a messenger, the message would be planted deep into his subconscious mind by a psychic, he would then relay that message unknowingly via email using his computer terminal at work at a specific time.

It was a shame, Kensington had thought, for the man had never known what he was doing and for all intensive purposes, was innocent. Still he was a step closer to unravelling this Poseidon case. The message had been sent and was no longer present inside the man's mind, Kensington couldn't let the man live because his enemy would know the messenger's mind had been tampered with. So he had killed him.

Jack was sent to meet with the private investigator and retrieve the surveilence material, he met his contact in Las Noches, the documents revealed that an important shipment was coming into the NY docks in a few weeks and that the conspirators greatly valued it's contents. However they had been watched by a Hunter posing as a dancer. After the meeting Jack had followed his contact back to his home to ensure he wasn't followed. He had been.

The dancer appeared at the man's home and attempted to co-erce the man into telling her what he had told Jack. The man had not been able to utter a word as Jack had killed him, using a sniper rifle. The Hunter, knowing she had been discovered, fled the scene; but not before searching through the dead man's computer. She had discovered a file named 'Poseidon' and copied it.

Jack chased the girl though the strets of the city however she had managed to escape. What had she learned? He did not know, but it was enough to make him and Kensington wary, they needed to find this girl and either persuade her to help, or eliminate her.

Little did they know that the Hunters were quite interested in this Poseidon matter and had shifted resources into exploring this further. The file taken from the dead man's apartment made reference to the incoming shipment at the docks, they too would be waiting, when the time came.

The case continues...
