===== Synopsis =====

  * [[Elysium]] was held at [[Bacchus]].
  * Local authorities and Federal investigators	have converged on the headquarters of the [[New Life Church]] located at the law office of Kris Ryder, but no conspiracy has been found.  Further investigations of the church membership are planned, but already counter charges of religious persecution have sprung up partially foiling efforts to expand the investigation.  
  * [[Frogg]], Primogen [[Murdock|Murdock's]] personal assistant arrives tells the assembled kindred that [[Murdock]] is dead in his Thomasville hangar.
  * [[G.R. Whitehorse|Prince Whitehorse]] orders that the hanger be immediately secured by [[Brujah]] and [[Malkavian]] groups.  
  * The [[Prince]] asks the [[Tremere]] in general, and [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] in particular, to make arrangements for thaumaturgical lie detection services.
  * [[Byron]] considered a prime suspect in the slaying , and is staked by [[Q]].
  * [[Aaron Thompson|Aaron]] is ordered by [[Q]] to go to the [[Anarchs]], but is later recalled to secure the hangar.  He takes with him [[Jimmy C]], and [[Jasper the Bastard]] to help him out.  
  * [[Jack Strayer]] also helps Aaron's efforts to keep any non-essential kindred from entering Murdock's hangar.
  * The Prince arrives with [[Q]] and [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] and sees what is left of Murdock.  His ash silhouette shows little signs of a struggle.  It appears that he was staked from behind and then his head was cut off with a knife.
  * A note from [[Constance "CJ" Jones|Constance]] is found discarded by the body.
  * The Prince determines that both the stake and the knife belong to [[Craxus]].
  * Prince Whitehorse questions [[Constance "CJ" Jones|Constance]]about the note, and she is found innocent.  
  * The Prince visits Murdock's surprisingly orderly personal sleeping chamber, and takes one of his flying trinkets - a zeppelin.  
  * [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] contacts Craxus and meets him in front of [[Bacchus]] to ask a few questions. Craxus drives off.
  * [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] enters Murdock's hangar, and manages to view into the past.  There he sees some of Murdock's last moments including when he walked to the door of the hangar saying "What brings you here so close to dawn, your grace".
  * [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] leaves the hangar with a large, leather bound tome and signals Aaron to act on Prince Whitehorse's orders.
  * Aaron and the Brujah squad light the hangar on fire and burn it to the ground.  
  * Q calls Craxus and meets him at the ballpark as the game is winding down.  She asks him some questions, but leaves with still more.
  * Q sends Aaron to watch Craxus, but Aaron loses him when Craxus goes feral in the wilderness.
  * [[G.R. Whitehorse|Prince Whitehorse]] and [[Q]] visit the [[Giovanni]] to ask to retrieve [[murdock|Murdock's]] spirit.  They speak with [[serina_o_riley|Serina]] who takes them to [[Natalie Volpe]], [[vito_milliner|Vito's]] second in command.  A deal is made and Prince Whitehorse hands over the zeppelin to summon [[Murdock]].
  * [[Byron]] is questioned, but there is absolutely no evidence that he killed [[Murdock]] or stole [[Craxus|Craxus']] items despite clear motives.  
  * The Prince questions [[Frogg]] again, but finds the assistant to be completely guiltless.
  * [[serina_o_riley|Serina]] arrives with Murdock's spirit, tethered to the zeppelin.  
  * The assembled kindred learn that [[G.R. Whitehorse]] was indirectly responsible for Primogen Murdock's final death.
  * Prince Whitehorse has decided to accept a new position within the [[Camarilla]], so [[Q]] is the new [[Prince]] of York.  She sets up her new [[Praxis]].
  * Constance is the new [[Seneschal]] and [[Emile delecroix|Emile]] is made the [[Harpy]].
  * Jack Strayer is made the [[keeper_of_elysium|Keeper of Elysium]] now that [[Mikhail]] has departed as well.
  * [[Craxus]] is named the [[Sheriff]] for the time being.
