It's positively outrageous, I tell you. The man's allowed the Independents to take over the whole damned city. Why, he's even given them a seat on the Primogen Council! He can call it whatever he wants to call it, giving them a “voice” on the Council is the same thing as giving the vermin a seat. It's positively contemptible. Filthy Snakes, walking around in the open like they own the place. And the Sabbat is still just inches away from beating down our own front door, I tell you. I don't care about that half-baked story that they've pulled out and are withdrawing from our area. That's a snake-oil salesman's story, mark my words.
