Our intrepid techie, Max, has finished installing a high tech fingerprint scanner and recorder in surreptitious locations in the sensitive areas of Gabriela's home. He believes it is a great success [7-6-6-6], Gabi is a bit unsure, she is still wary of Technocratic tools.

Max has also been splicing into security cam feeds in area nite-clubs (is Max worried about somebody tracking him or is he just helping his friends tracking these killers?). [Are a section of the Technocracy known as the Syndicate on the trail of the talented Max? If so Why?]

Max is also configuring a document device to make and/or forge documents, such as drivers licenses and passports.

Rumor gets back to Gabi that Max and What's-his-name are trying to locate a serial killer who may already be imprisoned. They must need some info from this vile being.

Gabriela Adagio is ecstatic over the success of her Adoration Chamber (which poses as a cozy bar and entertainment room).[Rote success 10,9,8,6,5,5]. The pictures and paintings on the walls, as well as the crystal and its hologram of her, seem to come alive. One can almost hear and feel the roar of the crowd from a spellbinding performance. The room gives off the power and feeling of the adoration expressed by the audience after the power of an incredible concert. Gabriela's physical presence in the room only enhances this feeling. She becomes the center of attention. Anyone in the room cannot help but to be caught up it in the Adoration of Gabriela and the thought of any harm coming to her would be abhorrent in their mind.

The next time Gabi sees Max she gives him a big kiss, “Without your help I'd never been able to do it, “ she gushes.

****************************************************************************

It turns out this friend of Macair's, Uri, is a automobile acrobat from Russia. He drives Zells and can do fantastic stunts while at the wheel.

Gabi thinks it would be a terrific act to add to her Gasperrila crewe. Uri agrees and Gabi hires him as a personnel driver as a cover story for him while he's in Florida. She also has his stunt-car sent for. It's in France right now, but will be flown over on Gabi's dime.

Uri is here looking for a pair of Fumori spirits poising as a man and women team that are using sex to lure the victims to horrifying deaths and mutilations.

Out of all of Gabriela's cars to chose from Uri likes the Volvo 4 door sedan for his use while in Florida. Gabi sees this as a man with good sense and stability. He could have taken the Asten Martin, but taking the Volvo revealed a stable pattern within Uri.

Gabriela calls her friends in the entertainment biz in Miami letting them know she and some friends are coming down for an evening to enjoy the sites. (This will also be a reckon mission for the crew to find evidence of the Fumori's work in Miami where Uri suspects them to be.)

******************************************************************************

Meanwhile Ike Black is at work building his Sanctum and using it as a Skrying point to spy on the mysterious Austin Thorell.

Ike also goes on a tour of the Tampa area with Gabi and her new driver Uri (also a tour will let Uri get acquainted with Tampa's thoroughfares ). Gabi enjoys her relaxing drive around the Bay, while Uri and Ike are taking in vital details of the trip.

*********************************************************************

Gabi is given a picture of the killers by Uri which she circulates to her locale contacts in Tampa's Entertainment community. She tells them they are scam artist and a syndicate will deal with them. Just call this phone # (a secret line to Uri) if they are spotted. No one wants the police involved in this (we all know how corrupt they are).

Max is searching Interpol databases for info on the killers and finds unsolved killings, but few details. Max is also hacking into certain security cams in Miami clubs (about a dozen clubs).

Max also buys a used Delorian sports car. Gabi supposes he'll be able to wire a bunch of stuff to that stainless steel heap. She's heard that a Time Mage got lost in one of those some time ago, with disastrous results (Tried to go back in time and ended up sleeping with his own mother or something like that.)

***********************************************************************************

Macair performs a weapons ritual to guarantee all will be working in top condition. (Success.)

********************************************************************************

A white dove brings Jacek's RSVP for the party. He assures her that only a rouge would dine on guest at a party. Gabriela hopes she hasn't offended Jacek. He lets her know to expect him an hour or so after sunset.

*********************************************************************************

The next day Gabi, Ike and Uri (Uri Drives) travel over to Miami to go clubbing. Max and Whats-his-name travel in the Delorian. Ursula is still on her bender at Gators and declines to go along.

Macair's eyesight is returning though it flickers from time to time.

Gabi introduces her friends to Felix Kincade a Music Producer for Sony and Israel Gold the owner of a number of Fabulous nightspots in Miami as well as New York, Berlin and London. It's not a surprise to them that Gabi's bringing non showbiz friends around everyone has a posse nowadays.

Unfortunately none of Gabi's Cultist friends are around, but Gabriela makes sure that Felix and Israel will be at her Gasperrila Party in February. They assure her that they'll be there. "Wouldn't miss it for the world babe," chimes in Felix. 

Gabriela gets alone with her friends, hands them all cell phones for a coincidental effect and creates a mind link with all of them (very successful results). All are linked and will just have to use the phone to communicate directly with one another.

They are their looking for the Fumari or evidence they've been around. Gabriela is there for that, but she is also strengthening her ties within the entertainment community and she sings at a few of the smaller clubs that night as well.

Ike tries some correspondence checks, but seems distracted by the throbbing young flesh and the lights (could be a sign that his absentmindedness affected him as well.)

Max photo shops the pictures into 3D and broadcasts them to the other vie the mind link.

*************************************************************************************

While Ike was in the Nature's Fury bar he spies a familiar face. A Hermes named Carmine and a - well built in an athletic sense - woman named Jade. After greeting are exchanged, in secret language Carmine lets Ike know Jade is a Werewolf. [Black Fury from the Everglades?]

Ike shows them the pictures of the Fumari and tells them why he's here. Soon after Jade politely leaves the bar.

***********************************************************************************

At Temptation's Fulfilled Gabriela is partying with Kincade and Gold at their private table, when a group of three strange looking men barge into the club. They are dressed in black suits and are wearing sunglasses (they are out of place). They are staring up at the private table. As a coincidental effect Gabi does the old take a picture it will last longer gesture at them to fix a mental image of them in her mind (she gets 3 successes). Gold send his bouncers down to offer them a drink near the exit, They get the idea and leave.

Israel Gold tells Gabriela that these guys have been bothering him a lot recently. At first he thought they were Carlos Traficantie's family, but they weren't, they belong to somebody else. They want to buy out Gold's clubs in Miami and possibly elsewhere.

********************************************************************************

Gabi meets up with her friends at an after hours place called Fidel's Grave There they exchange info on the nights happenings have breakfast and prepare to head back to Tampa early in the morning.

********************************************************************************

Ike's tux is waiting when he returns from the excursion. Ike notices that Austin has left home.

Gabi checks with Boz Stallion about food preparations for the party, then gets to bed and sleeps the day aways, shes been a busy little (4'11”) Mage.
