During a city-wide power failure, the Malkavian Primogen, Brian McCullough, broke free of his quarters and carved a swath of desctruction through the Alhambra. Several ghouls were killed and a Kindred was severely wounded before Assamite Schismatic Hasan Al-Rashid managed to incapacitate and kill McCullough. It took several months before the damage was fully repaired. Given the circumstances of the slaying, no disciplinary action was taken against Al-Rashid; the pentalty for McCullough's crimes would have been final death.
    During the assault, McCullough revealed Al-Rashid's involvement in Jonas Creed's murder, and was overheard by spectators. It is uncertain how McCullough knew these facts, but no attempt was made to deny the allegations.

    Early in the new year, Jonas Creed, a Tremere of some power and respect, disappeared without warning. When thaumaturgy-gone-wrong was ruled out, and every attempt to locate or contact him had failed, the Tremere Regent petitioned the Prince for martial law.
    Prince Holloway denied the request, but gave the Tremere permission to enter the havens of Camarilla and to peacefully interrogate all Kindred and Ghouls. Many Tremere overstepped their bounds, invading the homes of the Autarchs, but considering the suspected death of such a powerful Kindred, many allowed their concern for their own safety to override their desires for privacy.
    It was eventually determined that Creed was killed by Hasan Al-Rashid. The circumstances and motives behind the attack still remain unknown, but Al-Rashid claims the slaying was in self-defense. Due to his close ties with the Prince, the investigation and arbitration of this case is being conducted by Toreador Primogen Vincent Beltran.

    It was only due to the confusion of the Jonas Creed incident that a group of hunters were able to slip into the Blue Tree area undetected. However, when stories of wolf poachers in Blue Tree began surfacing in the newspapers, the Kindred in the city began to take notice. It was cause for alarm, because the last thing the Kindred of Verdant Falls needed was a group of enraged werewolves.
    The culprits were later identified as mortal hunters, and were ultimately killed by Hasan's ghoul, Rick Thomson. According to his claims, he had been tracking them since they entered the city, and finally killed them singlehandedly when the opportunity presented itself. The Camarilla did not question the matter further; they were merely grateful for a small amount of goodwill between themselves and the Garou.
    The 'official' story gave Park Ranger Jim Gordon full credit for tracking down, and ultimately engaging in a violent shootout with the group of poachers. RCMP Officers, led by Det. Inspector Rick Thomson, conducted a formal investigation into the incident, and Gordon was cleared of all wrongdoing. Many local media sources commended Gordon for his bravery, but strangely the story failed to make national headlines.

    Fledgling Toreador Jake Hewlett was invited to a game of Nines with the Pack, following a fundraising art exhibit in his honour. During the game, an unidentified Sabbat wandered into the field and was mistaken for a player. In the aftermath, the Sabbat was dead.
    Cardinal Chianna Grimaldi demanded vengeance without arbitration. Pack leader Luc Beaumont took full responsiblity for the death of the Sabbat, and willingly accepted the punishment of death. Camarilla representatives arrived in time to stop the execution, and demanded a formal investigation into the incident.
    The Camarilla ruled that there was equal fault on both sides: the Sabbat was tresspassing, and Luc should not have allowed the Sabbat to be mistakenly shot. Luc was sentenced to be flayed by the Camarilla Sherriff. Cardinal Grimaldi observed the punishment and deemed it satisfactory.

    It was discovered that the Nosferatu were responsible for smuggling in a Malkavian from the United Kingdom; one that was apparently the subject of a Blood Hunt. The Camarilla Elders were furious, but none so much as the Tremere Regent. Apparently, the neonate was the talented childe of a hacker of great fame in Kindred circles, and she had assisted her sire in acquiring secrets from the Tremere.
    The Nosferatu refused to surrender the girl until her case was appealed to the Prince. After a trial and examination of the offense, the Prince repealed the order for her death. This was due largely to the fact that the London Tremere had not sought permission from the Camarilla before executing her sire.
    Though her life is no longer in immedeate danger, the Malkavian is not loved by the Tremere, and is currently regarded by many Camarilla Elders to be 'bad news.'
