Assessing Threats and Security

by Doctor Ella Lister

I have spoken with Roger regarding the obvious gap in security which had to have taken place in Elysium. Roger confirmed that his security is provided by his Sire - Abraham - and they are likely to be Blood-Bonded to him. Since he is paying/providing their services, it makes a lot of sense they would be monitoring our activities and reporting back. Roger was not concerned about this - which could be due to our Clan ties (to Clan and Sire). I will keep a weary eye on this, as the amount of attention being paid is concerning. There are, of course, perfectly normal and valid reason for it - for instance, Roger hadn't been Baron for a week before Abraham was contacted and assistance requested. He has already expended a decent about of money and influence in this venture.
 
However, if he continues to be as involved, we may as well not be considered our own Kingdom so much as an Extension of Chicago.
 
Ava has listed the potential threats as we know them. Wilhelm drove by the Mason Jar to do a quick assessment to rule our the presence of Weres; he stated he did not smell anything to indicate Weres were there recently and plans to do in person reconnaissance with Quentin at some point. As Ava and I are currently on restriction - she hates that I call it that - we cannot go (I am unsure as to how much help I would be).
 
I believe Wilhelm has developed a plan to start running along the rail trail of an evening as bait for whatever is killing 'junkies'. I personally find this plan less than ideal. I think it would be better for Wilhelm and Daniel to find the locations the bodies were found and do a bit of investigating to see if they pick anything up. If the Rail Trail is just a dumping ground, and not a hunting ground, being in the area just establishes a pattern or makes it more likely who ever is behind this would be able to recognize him later. I did not speak out against the plan, and so should be sure to express my concerns to Wilhelm at the soonest opportunity.
 
Ava also made note of the Hospital investigation I have been working on as a potential threat. I gave her a briefing on what information I have obtained, which included a bit that Colin was able to tell me before he left. I will admit the brief is not... as comprehensive as the information I have, but the pertinent details have all been shared. According to Colin's contacts at the hospital: she largely keeps to herself. She has a couch and shower in her office and often spends days at a time in the research suite without leaving. She leaves from time to time, but it is sporadic.
 
The events with the Officers has left me feeling I have been neglecting my studies. I will be putting more effort and time into my occult studies moving forward to address my personally perceived deficiencies.
