The chief of police's daughter reached headlines in the metro times as she freaked out in a local starbucks. She was standing in line, waiting to order when she started screaming hysterically at people who ere not there. Witnesses at the event were first shocked, then appalled as she continued conversations of which only her side could be heard. She was admitted into the Apex Behavioral Health facility for further observation. The chief of police has no comment.

It is only the precursor to an influence freeze... where I was wanting to go with it is in the Samdei/giovanni thread

She was one of them, also I think the BNB's might be checking it out soon along with the Nameless... I'm running DT's on sunday and they also might bring that up. How does her going crazy connect back to the supernatural? How would players successfully investigate it? And who would be watching them if they do?

A couple more rumors...
Mild mannered Dr. Anthony Polk, head of the Anthropology Department at Wayne State University, made headlines today in the Metro Times. He was in the middle of a lecture during the day when he started to interrupt himself, as if he was answering questions. Several eye witnesses confirm that he seemed to be talking to himself before he collapsed on the ground. Several students ran to check on him and as they approached, he began to frantically attack one and beat her to death. Campus security stepped in only to have their gun pulled from them and fired at them by Dr. Polk. He emptied the clip and fell to his knees. He is currently being held in the county sheriffs office for questioning.
The missing persons reports have increased as of late, especially around Lake St. Claire. Among these, there have been sightings of strange creatures near the shores of lake St. Claire, but most come from drunkards after the bars have closed.
The police chief held a press conference today to talk about the imposed curfew and the officers that have gone missing over the past week. During this, he evaded questions and seemed overly stressed. His final statement was that he is resigning his post after his faithful fifteen years of service and he needs to look after his family now. The mayor commended him and he is to receive full retirement benefits.
They need some editing, I know, but we need to get something up there so people can start looking into something besides the BNB's location.

So where be these rumors we discussed? I went to write them but for the life of me I cannot remember what we discussed them to be. There was the media one and something about a body. Was that about it?

1) A mutated human corpse was discovered by the harbor patrol along the edge of lake Erie, just south of Milleville Beach, experts have declined comment about what sort of mutation the corpse had, but said it was killed by massive claw wounds, as if from a great cat such as a Lion or Tiger.
2) Several viral videos of various media types (animation, live action, even some claymation) have been popping up all over the net depicting an attack on a home, in an office building, or carjackings, where an elderly victim is brutally attacked by a group, beaten, staked, and forced to watch a sunrise at which point the victims burst into flames.
3) The Former Chief of Police for Detroit, who recently stepped down from his position, has gone missing along with his wife and children, including the disappearance of his young daughter out of a mental institution. His brother, a city councilman, and several of his close friends have spoken out about their concern, noting the recent distress he has been under and have offered a substantial reward for information leading to their discovery.
4) (this one shouldn't be posted till Wednesday) National News Broadcast: First hand footage of a US military attack on a terrorist cell in Detroit. Video footage was released of this mornings military strike on what sources within the US state department are saying was one of the terrorist cells that have recently been active in Canada, and was responsible for the explosion the killed hundreds there just a few short weeks ago.
**A compilation video shows footage from several sources looped together. The first video is from what looks to be a missile as it closes and then impacts on it's target, a building seen only briefly but what looks like a large factory of some sort. The second video is from a ground observer, part of the screen has been edited out with a black box to hide the HUD displayed on the screen. This video captures US troops being descending from Helicopters hovering in in front of the morning sun and descending towards the wreckage. The last video is obviously taken much later in the day, sometime just after noon, and is branded with CNN's news logo in the bottom right. This video shows the flattened remains of a large building, and cuts to several shots from inside the wreckage, including a collapsed and impassible tunnel entrance.
5) The interim chief of police has bowed to political pressure to start a massive internal investigation of his officers to quash the rumors of corruption in the force. This has resulted in the Detroit Police Officers Association threatening a strike, and a massive wave of sick-outs, leaving the streets of Detroit massively undermanned.
6) More of an announcement, anyone with the flaw Haunted (unless you have been spoken to directly) has noticed that for the past several weeks, you have been somewhat free of torment.
I'll have a few more based off of Influence actions when I get the chance to write them up later.

And last but not least
7) Several small aggressive or outright hostile takeover attempts have caused a few smaller stock agencies to sell off capital to remain in business.
8) A small trucking company was closed down today by authorities upon allegations of transportation of controlled or illegal substances.
All the influence attacks from the Cam/Giovanni would already be covered in the other rumors anyway. Total attacks are on Finance, Industry, Police, Transportation

Word out of Mexico is nobody is able to get a hold of anyone in Montreal. Cardinals were too busy politicking and now that there is silence from the spiritual epicenter fingers are pointing and blame is being thrown.
Montreal has collapsed in upon itself and fallen to the ivory tower...
