Ep 58 - The Third Option

by Anton Rossini

Friday, 5 March 2021
 
An eye-catching woman pulls up
a mutual acquaintance has asked for a meeting and she invites him for a ride
 
Car pulls into the underground carpark of a skyscraper in central Melbourne.
Anton is handed a small leather folder containing an access card for the elevator to the 14th floor
 
Door opens to a small hallway and open doorway, leading to a modern but minimalistic two-tone lounge-like meeting area.
 
Seated in the midst of the room is the red-headed woman wearing a well-fitted suit, who Anton immediately recognises as Dr Sutton.
 
She says she is aware of Primogen Nora Pendragon’s plan to instigate a coup. Anton, incidentally, is intrigued by the full naming of Nora - Pendragon is spoken in Ventrue circles with utter reverence, and he is curious why she would keep this information private.
 
Sutton suggests that Nora’s ambitions are not what was best for the city, and that her ascension to Princehood puts Melbourne at great risk. Anton does not disagree with either premise but, when she asks if he thinks Nora is the best choice for Princehood, he replies that his thoughts on the matter have no influence over the outcome.
 
She then proposes a third option as a way to save Melbourne and, incidentally, promising protection to the coterie as well as being instrumental in Anton’s escalation and longevity.
When Anton suggests that this is in contrast to her multiple attempts at assassinating and otherwise causing them all harm, she alludes to the emotional fury and randomness of “a woman scorned”. However, as the prime Primgen, she states she will have influence over these whims, and will also promote Callidora to a senior associate role.
 
You bring me Malady and I will supply the arms.
 
 
Elysium is in 3 days, and she requires an answer by daybreak.
 
 
 
Monique arrives and announces there will be an Elysium at the Trade Union Hall in three nights, and we (along with all other kindred) are required invitees.
 
 
Malady tells us that she was killed by Sutton when she was unwell, presumably as Sutton wanted to re-make Malady in her own image.She became a ghost, but Sutton continues to pursue Malady.
 
Callidora will request a meeting with the Schenesal (John Saxon).
