mattbaby anton has auspex??? th<strong>is</strong> shouldn't be too difficultVermain There's complete silence from Anatoli's end for awhile. A little whip of wind blows across <strong>the</strong> two of<strong>the</strong>m in order to punctuate <strong>the</strong> stunning lack of sound.Finally: "Oh."Nicolae Dietrich lifts <strong>the</strong> webcam <strong>and</strong> looks into it up close."You fucking prick," he says clearly into <strong>the</strong> camera'smicrophone, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n grinds <strong>the</strong> thing to dust in h<strong>is</strong>palm.<strong>banana</strong> mattbaby: you can do it! I'm just being atmospheric.mattbaby oh ok!!Vermain "So, eh... hm." Anatoli just sort of st<strong>and</strong>s <strong>the</strong>re,looking down at <strong>the</strong> grass. "Maybe we should delay plansfor killing Rosenberg, yes?"mattbaby Anton carefully slides h<strong>is</strong> way out of <strong>the</strong> screamingelevator. He <strong>is</strong> fucked if <strong>the</strong>y shut down power to <strong>the</strong>whole building! What <strong>the</strong> hell <strong>is</strong> going on! What floor<strong>is</strong> he even on?<strong>banana</strong> Anton slides one foot carefully out onto <strong>the</strong> gap - <strong>the</strong>nit bangs into a wall. He's between floors,unfortunately.There's enough of a gap that he could drop down, if hewanted to!mattbaby That will be exactly what he does!Nicolae "Delay <strong>the</strong>m? If that was Firius on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r end ofthat camera, <strong>the</strong>n he knows we know who he <strong>is</strong>." Hesnarls. "And I don't think our two-thous<strong>and</strong> year oldfriend <strong>is</strong> going to just sit back <strong>and</strong> let us walk around<strong>the</strong> city with h<strong>is</strong> secret."mattbaby Anton checks <strong>the</strong> intercom button. Anything working?<strong>banana</strong> You step back into <strong>the</strong> lift, <strong>and</strong> press <strong>the</strong> button -<strong>the</strong>re's a crackle of sound, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n a voice on <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r end!"Hello? ...Hello"mattbaby "The power's out in th<strong>is</strong> lift. Send someoneimmediately."<strong>banana</strong> "I'm sorry.. Anton."mattbaby whose voice <strong>is</strong> it<strong>banana</strong> "I can tell, by calling, that you did turn off <strong>the</strong>phones. But.. I can't take <strong>the</strong> r<strong>is</strong>k that he's alreadygotten to you."Nicolae Three guesses.Vermain "Perhaps we are going back to Elysium, <strong>the</strong>n? I, eh, amnot knowing how much you care about Carrel, but if welet <strong>the</strong> secret of Rosenberg slip, <strong>the</strong>re will be farmore people against him. Much harder to track us down,yes?"<strong>banana</strong> That would be <strong>the</strong> voice of Simon Peter, 'former
secretary to Duke Firius Rosenberg'.mattbaby Anton's voice trails off halfway through <strong>the</strong> word"lift".Anton considers th<strong>is</strong> - poetically - for a moment.<strong>banana</strong> "Thanks for hitting <strong>the</strong> alarm. You never did ask aboutour old contacts in emergency services."mattbaby "You're fired."<strong>banana</strong> "...""I admire that, I think.""Goodbye."mattbaby Anton swings h<strong>is</strong> legs out, staring down <strong>the</strong> loomingdarkness of <strong>the</strong> shaft. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> going to suck.Nicolae Dietrich nods. Taking down an Elder vampire on h<strong>is</strong> ownwould be quite <strong>the</strong> fea<strong>the</strong>r in h<strong>is</strong> cap, but <strong>the</strong>n againhe'd ra<strong>the</strong>r not have h<strong>is</strong> cap shredded to pieces tryingto get a fea<strong>the</strong>r to put in it."You got Carrell's number, Anatoli?"Vermain Anatoli pulls out h<strong>is</strong> cellphone. "On speed dial. Just amoment." He punches a few keys, holding <strong>the</strong> phone up toh<strong>is</strong> ear. Hopefully <strong>the</strong>re's good reception here."You, eh, do know where he <strong>is</strong> now, yes?" Anatoliaddresses Dietrich as <strong>the</strong> phone beedles.<strong>banana</strong> Where are you? Somewhere between <strong>the</strong> docks <strong>and</strong>Hammerfest? If so, yes, reception.Nicolae "He's probably not in h<strong>is</strong> apartment."mattbaby Is <strong>the</strong>re anything Anton can grab on to in <strong>the</strong> shaft?Surely <strong>the</strong>re's a ladder or something nearby!Vermain "Where <strong>is</strong> it? It might be a good lead, ei<strong>the</strong>r way."<strong>banana</strong> Anton looks around, sharpening h<strong>is</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion to <strong>the</strong>maximum extent possible. Like a spy movie or something,objects st<strong>and</strong> out ludicrously, darker shades ofdarkness, becoming three-dimensional. Yes, <strong>the</strong>re's aservice ladder.. on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side of <strong>the</strong> shaft.On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>, velocity.. if one was to jump, <strong>and</strong>fall for a while..Nicolae "I know where it <strong>is</strong>. Let's hope he's ei<strong>the</strong>r too proudor too stupid to go elsewhere." Dietrich grabs h<strong>is</strong> owncell phone. Time to make a call to Mr. Chernovic.Dietrich, of course, doesn't know that Mr. Chernoviccurrently <strong>is</strong> operating under <strong>the</strong> Byers-Langly-FrohikeSchool of Telephone Conversations.<strong>banana</strong> The phone rings.. <strong>and</strong> rings..Strangely, <strong>the</strong>re's a no<strong>is</strong>e coming from a side alleyway,next to a Burger King.Nicolae "Fuck. Anton's not picking up. Probably in a fuckingmeeting doing... something." Dietrich still has h<strong>is</strong>Auspex up from <strong>the</strong> warehouse, having activated itbefore going in.
