New Port. A city with far too many vampires. Too much of a bad thing was never a good thing. Population controls were vital to the survival of the fittest and finest of the bloodlines. Neonates. Thin bloods, and turn-tails–The new targets of a sadistic plan. A plan so vile and corrupt, it could only lead to vicious bloodshed in the streets, irrational behavior and complete chaos. 'Beautiful!'

"The moon will be full tonight. Tricks to ex sponge," flicking that bit of filth from his fingertip after sniffing it throughly, like it were a prized perfume. "Spineless . . . " He grinned slowly. "Devious."

Tell him to bring that contraption of his to me. Five of them total. I expect you both back within the hour. You may take the tract on main. "
Frank stood up from the floor. His head had been face down, hands behind his back. The usual position when anyone had been forced to encounter the ever paranoid, yet ingenious Lucius. "Yes, of course doctor." He said, bowing half-way in respect, walking backward to the door. Lucius always loved to see the eyes of those who departed his presence.
