Sabbat of the Month Club
Evening Edition
VOLUME XVIII
November 11th, 2000
Raiding Party Weakened by Sabbat Infiltrators
by Bloody Shame
Despite the concerted efforts of Clan Nosferatu to create a viable
straegy for the extraction of Sacramento's captured citizens, at least
one Sabbat agent was able to infiltrate the party, resulting in the
neutralization of four of its members. The infiltrator, a suspected
member of the Assamite antitribu, lured Michael, the former sheriff, into
a nondescript van and drove him to Elk Grove, where he was able to make
his escape. The infiltrator then returned to the agreed-upon rendezvous
location, where she joined the party's guide for the trip to Stockton,
wehre the captives were being held in a video store. Before the rear
party could take up its position, the infiltrator attacked three more
members of the party, staking one before being shot and beaten into
torpor by the other two, who promptly fled the scene with her body.
What Is It Good For?
by Les B. Inn
Absolutely nothin'. Did you ever wonder why we go on these raids to kill the Sabbat? Of course we have our reasons. But how many of our beloved Sacramento kindred have lost their lives so that the Camarilla could be the better half of the war? And how many more will lose their lives defending an society that does nothing but discirminate and catogerize? We are fighting an endless battle of good and evil. But which side is the good. We call the Sabbat murders and animals. Yet, we will send a group of kindred to masacure unknowing Sabbat in their havens and places of business. We might not agree with their line of work but who are to judge them. They are preparing for the rise of Caine and the Antideluvians. While the Camarilla leaders sit on their thrones and wait. Who do you think will protect you when the time comes?
Lost in the Shadow
by C. Hicken
Last week the Shadow ran an article (Sabbat Report Card by M. Emorex) stating: The
Sabbat when challenged by Xavier to combat shivered in fear so much that
they ran away under the safety of nightfall. In fact, Priests have
authorized several Monomacy challenges. Xavier, by his silence, has
refused all of them. If Xavier himself has issued any challenges, the
Sabbat is not aware of a single one of them. The Sabbat do not consider underhanded submissions to a local paper, "challenges".
Finger Pointing
by Az Holle
ShreckNet rumors have it that several members of Sabbat are Infernal,
including their liaison to the Camarilla, the Dove, and a Salubri. After
heavy scrutiny, both were cleared of charges, and demanded Monomacy against
their accusers. Both won, barely, against superior foes. Sacramento
Nosferatu have had their reliability rating accordingly downgraded.
Happi Rants
by Happi "Yes I Was Late" Goluki
Here comes the part where everyone goes, "Oh shit, what now?". Well, the fact of the matter of the Giovanni matter is simple to rectify. To the Dona, I must point out that a representative of each clan decided her family members fate. The heart was that of a pig! The Sabbat Giovanni's heart turned to ash with the rest of the body. Which brings me to the following point. According to the treaty, so to speak, he was a casualty of war. Be pleased I at least told you what happened. Also on the treaty, You attended a political Camarilla city meeting which is prohibited. I would like to remind you of your place in this. You are to remain out of Camarilla politics! From what I understand, you turn your back on family when politics involve Camarilla OR Sabbat. I feel I did you a great favor in destroying this traitor to the family. If you or any of yours feel that what I write is not favorable, I will take it to my superiors with the information on the case. I am sure negotiations will be made by the diplomats. Which could take a while. I would much rather see a more quiet and peaceful resolution to this. Next, the expedition to Stockton. I would like to congratulate Father Natasha on a job well done. Next time, lets be a little more quiet. I think that not too many kindred should do this kind of stuff. Too many turns into a war party (as usual, some bad seed has to snuff it when things go well). Whoever is selected to lead missions I must urge that you select carefully who is going with you.
Thanks guys for interesting times.
Although it was a mission to rescue kidnapped Kindred, it was successful, and the once lost, are now found. Here we have the Prince of Sacramento holding up a hostage brought to him from the raid. "We got our boys back. Bring me Dove next." Recoil was on record as saying.
Running off at the Mouth
by John Rocker
A verbal tornado entered Sacramento without warning last Saturday. The return of Tony. Tony was greeted with open arms by the Prince and his family. And Krom was happy to see his grandchilder. But as for the rest of the city, I'm sure they could have done without...with Tony back in town, no citizen was safe from his piercing insults and loud demeanor. It seems to have brought out some similiar behavior in his "bro", Recoil as well. Seems like all the relatives come out of the woodwork when another becomes famous.
Dead Man Soars
by The Opera News
The world premiere of "Dead Man Walking", an Opera based on the best-selling novel by Sister Helen Prejean and the Academy Award winning movie starring Susan Sarandon, ended it's triumphant engagement on November 4th at the Bay Area's premier Opera site--the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Starring one of the most sought after international singers of her day--Soprano Susan Graham as Sister Helen Prejean, and in a breakthrough performance--lyric tenor and local San Francisco celebrity Falstaff Jennings as Joe De Rocher. Ms. Graham, in typical fashion, gave a crowd pleasing, magnificent performance. But the splendid surprise of "Dead Man" was relative newcomer Jennings' ability to hold his own with Graham. His performance inspired the SF Chronicle to write, "Any tenor who can toss off high C's with abandon and successfully negotiate delicate diminuendo effects is going to win over any audience and Falstaff had them eating out of his hand". On a side note, the Opera News wishes to apologize to Mr. Jennings, which in the course of an interview soon to be published, inquired into his ties to Sacramento, and it appears that the mention of Sacramento quite upset him--causing him to faint.
Pastry Wave
by Ivben Cookin
This odd wave of bakery insanity has swept through Sacramento. The new craze of Krispy Kreams and pastries. Kids and adults all around Sacramento have been seen pinching each other and calling each other pastries. One fourteen year old child was hospitalized from numerous pinching on his cheeks and arms. "It's in the frosting!", one man said as the police carried him away from the bakery at Albertson's. What is this world coming to?
Laughable
by Louis "My article is on Eastern Standard Time" Cypher
I think the title says it all. Despite the assurance of Sabbat-liason
"Dove", it seems that the plan to take over Sacramento is not going as well
as planned. If any "well-laid plan" lies beneath, it must be well hidden.
Between pack after pack being killed as they come into the city, and to
brave Camarilla members that go to Stockton to destroy the Sabbat, the only
thing the Sabbat have managed to do is destroy some buildings of minor
importance and send some elders on a wild goose chase. Not too impressive
if you ask me. I would hope that the Sabbat quickly put their plan into
action before it's buried beneath a sea of their own troops.
