Asserting Dominance

With Kreiger dead and the land mystically bound to Kennedy, there was only one thing left to do: Make the other werewolves fall into line. Hal and the rest of us probably talked a bit more than we should have, since it was Kenny's show, but they did call out this other guy, Steiner, who is now in charge of Kreiger's company.

Asshole made a big show of being a sexist pig. Not a smart move, especially then. In that clearing, basking in the light of the full moon... I felt warmer.... wilder.... stronger. I snapped at that fucker and my armor got a lot thicker, startling him. Made sure that dick knew who was in charge.

I got a good look at myself later, I looked like a Hoplite crossed with a Knight. Pretty badass.

Anyway, Andrew, being the clever duck that he is (duck... bird... Thoth... I'm funny) worked out a deal to have him go through the meeting with Amir Kline and get the information we need. We don't even need to be personally involved. Pretty slick.

After that, we all went to the hotel and maybe the fight got my blood pumping or the moonlight got to me, but I was feeling frisky.  Oh yeah, stuff happened.

The next day, Claire and I just hung out in our room, talked about stuff, and I got my painting done. I'm trying to make sure I have little things to remember my adventures... Claire's looking over my shoulder and tells me I've already talked about that.

Well, I'm not sure what's going on, I think we're waiting for word from Leger, Kennedy's werewolf second in command (and a real dick. Seriously, he threatened to ARREST us if we killed anyone when the fight was over. What the fuck? Really? Not to mention a jail isn't going to hold half of us.). I... oh god I can hear Hal and Kenny going at it again... in the shower no less...

I'm going to distract myself with getting some thoughts typed down on here... having better senses can suck sometimes.

So, I've been thinking about this whole situation. Hal seems happy to cast suspicion on Bryn about shoddy intelligence, but I think he's mistaken. She wouldn't be put in charge of MIST if she wasn't trustworthy, right? No, I'm beginning to think our recon gaffs are because of the hole we're trying to plug.

Alaska was... kinda different. We were sent in BECAUSE the recon was shoddy. That agents kept getting killed. Hal wonders why Bryn didn't walk in with a full squad of Valkyries at the start. Maybe I should have him read some books on military tactics. You don't commit your forces to battle when you don't know the makeup of the enemy. Not to mention, a full squad of Valks would have tipped off the titan goons faster than our presence.

Here, on the other hand, we should have known more. Part of the problem is this mission is one of those cloak and dagger, counter-espionage, internal affairs jobs. Chances are, the only one who even knows the real intent of the mission is Bryn. Our story for being here was to investigate the murders, which, by extension, ended up involving the werewolves. If Klein ends up being a part of the hole in MIST, then that's probably a good indicator that information about this region was under-researched.

This whole thing kinda makes me worried. I mean, aren't we all supposed to be on the same side? The Gods and their allies against the Titans? Oh, no. I just had a terrible thought. What if this goes deeper than a vindictive pantheon undermining MIST? What if the traitors are working for the titans?

I just heard Andrew's motorcycle take off. What the hell?
