I get back to the east end, to docklands as fast as i can, carnage burning bodies everywhere,
this is wrong it shouldnt be done like this, now they will fear now they will lash back out just as we were getting through to them and starting to change them! a small sigh of relief as i reach home, the 'office' it still stands, some of the windows are broken and the corpses of two ratkin are in the doorway, as i call out i hear the calls of daniel and rachel, good the kin are safe

'we pretty much lept up and got on with it boss, broke out the emergency stock' as they hand me a large shotgun loaded with silver rounds, and damn thought id only ever have to use this against spirals
well at least wont have to worry too much about smoothing things over with the police after this, does that count as gallows humour i wonder
as a few ratkin come into view i decide if they wont play by the rules neither will i, tossing the gun into the air i shift up to my full glory the gift of every Garou and catch the gun in one hand looping a claw through the trigger

leave now and dont return

they hesitate, i think its actually surprised them to find a garou protecting an office building in the heart of poplar

one of them seems to be a little more zealot than rational, with a snarl of 'for the pro' he leaps to be answered by a shotgun and several rifles as the kinfolk let rip, a mangled corpse falls to the ground full of silver shot

take your friend's remains and leave now

im through with negotiation as i chamber another round with a double clunk,
and fortunatly they leave and i return to my normal stature smoothing my suit out as it reclothes me

okay people we have lots of work to do, first lets barricade that damn door properly, second lets take stock i presume the regular staff are in the bomb shelter locked away? best investment ever but then inner london did have a reputation thanks to the IRA and we will probably have to break out the emergency supplies all of them, at this scale food is going to be short we can raid that sainsburys near by and haul plenty of it back here as well but there is going to be a hell of a lot of people and no food coming in for a while, we split everything up ration well we can probably keep most of the local community going for a week maybe more depending on what we can manage, and get the radios out we can get the streets and estates around here one each and we can get a communications net going until the power and other means become available,
now people, my kin, we cant help london, we are just a few, but we can help the people round here, watching people isnt enough, Mike Jessica get me the regular security guards and we go for shopping supplies, the rest i think the desks on the third floor will make good barricades and get the rest of the security up here and the spare guns out
Thank gaia for glasswalker paranoia, and armouries profits are likely to be down this quater but new investment oppertunities arrise
and we may need to shelter some people at least temporarily but hold off on that till i get back, now to the vans
