Quinton's Premonition:
As the Senator reaches out a hand to shake with Quinton, the Senator's sleeve pulls up his forearm just enough to reveal a tattoo of a Kraken, it's body on the bottom of his wrist with his tentacles wrap around to encircle his wrist. Upon seeing this, quinton was thrown into a premonition.
The premonition begins with a voice whispering in Quinton's ear, as if someone were standing right behind him. The voice calls out stating "Quinton... Release The Kraken...." At the same time Quinton sees ephemeral strands that are wrapped around The Lady in Red. The strands extend out and away from her before dissipating and disappearing into the thin air.
Quinton notices that the ephemeral strands that come off of The Lady in Red in the direction of the Senator, seem to be repelled by him, like the same charged sides of a magnet.
At this time, quinton feels himself being pulled onto the ephemeral strands and dragged off with no sense of control. He quickly calls out to the Cobweb with the Lady in Red's face in mind, pleading for all of the information possible on her. Quinton is ther:, dragged off, flying across the city skyline.
Quinton finds himself floating above Port Maxwell sometime in the past. A man stands on a temporary stage and cuts a ribbon as part of the port's grand opening. Upon the man's lapel is a pin with the Maxwell Family Crest on it. The Crest is that of several Supernatural Sea Monsters. As Quinton is pulled back from the scene, he sees a sign of Port Maxwell which has a symbol of an Anchor with a KrakeR beneath it, reaching up to encircle it. The symbol that Port Maxwell still uses on all of its letterheads and business cards.
Quinton is then pulled off once more along some ephemeral strands, but the sensation of being pulled changes. He feels like there is some control this time as he is pulled from one
,, pot in the city to another in rapid succession. It's the same feeling as when other Malkavians on the Cobweb are guiding him to where he needs to be.
During this, Quinton sees lines of bright lights emitting from below the city streets. It's hard to tell if the lights are originating out of the center of the center from somewhere in Central City and reach out to the edges of the city, or if the origin is from outside the city.
Quinton begins to slow down as he is pulled up into the sky over the city. As he comes to a stop and is floating in the sky, he can see another figure who floats in the sky across town from him. It is too dark to make out details, but then the figure whispers to Quinton. Despite the distance, it sounds as if the figure is standing behind Quinton once again as he whispers "Release the Kraken.... Release.... Me "
Quinton then finds himself once more standing at the party, shaking the hand of the Senator.
Other Sensations From Premonition:
• Kraken's have been known to represent the fear and mystery of the Oceans, and that the Ocean is often perceived as Chaos.
• The idea that "In God's Hands, Chaos is Creation".
