[QUOTE="writernextdoor, post: 6027894, member: 6689303"] The team assembled in the safehouse. Mace was holding court. MikeSmith's theory was a good one, and Mace knew it. In the time it took the team to assemble, he did some digging around [2 point Occult Studies, 2 point Research, 1 point Vampirology spends] and it was possible. But first he had to sell the team on it. He ordered pizzas. "Okay, we're used to fighting one type of enemy. It has fangs, it's fast and strong and it's a crafty bastard. We know they have chains of command, hierarchies and plans. But until now, we've always assumed that they're the only problem we'll have to deal with." "Isn't that enough?" Nick said. Rossini nodded. "But," Mace continued, "if their structure is like our structure, then all we've done is knock pawns off the chessboard. We've dealt with agents, not handlers, until now. And I think, and Mike thinks, we found a new tier, which we're calling Knights and Rooks. They have a few pawns underneath them, which we've dispatched, so now they're free to move." Everyone was still in the room. "So they're going to hit us, and hard. The Ephraim Agency issue is a food source for them. And we showed them it wasn't safe." "Food source? None of the kids are marked." Rossini's question was a good one. MikeSmith answered, "Because they're feeding psychically. A kid's brain is a data sponge, full of chemicals and brain waves. Load a kid up with info, which they absorb easily, then feast on the resulting thoughts. " "What tools work against a psychic eater?" Nick asked. This was the tricky part. Mace wasn't sure, and said so. "We're assuming that the usual ones still apply, but I've got a call into Father Craig for whatever he can offer, we're going to need protection and a lot of it for what we're going to do." "Which is what?" "We're going to capture one. Mike thinks he can build a cage out of iron, cypress and black candle wax. " "And then what do we do with?" "And how do we capture one?" These were questions Mace didn't have answers to. [/QUOTE]
