Include the idea of a drake addicted to Black Jack and Hookers, who's owes a lot of favour (and/or a lot of money) to the Mafia. That would be an unexpected twist for your players, I'm sure. :D
Especially when the drake is forced to hire runner for wetworking his master, because his friends in the Mafia want that. |

If your Drake got whacked, the first two people you'd talk to would be Lofwyr and Icewing, because:
Which means that the most likely suspects for whacking him are Lofwyr and Ghostwalker, because having assassins kill one of the 'Kopfs' friends would be a sure fire way to invite him to dinner. But the next most likely is anyone who didn't like the Kopf and wasn't a powerful immortal. Swarzkopf is going to suspect mundane assassination last, so really by the time he even entertains the idea the trail is going to be ice cold. As the Russian Court, the Vory, the Hungarian Resistance League, or anyone else who wants there to be less draconic influence in Eastern Europe, you can probably just shoot his drakes and he won't figure it out. It's a very safe way to piss in a dragon's Cheerios actually. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. -Frank |

What can you say? It's Frank! I need to pick his brain about bugs sometime. I bet cha he gots some sick and twisted theories on why they opperate and I would love to hear them!
Loffy is a cock, I'm glad we all agree on that. What I'm concerned about though is what is Swortzy gonna do about it. It could also be the Atlantean foundation or IOND. I think one of there leaders got in a verbal fight with Swartzy and pissed him off enough to take action in a covert way of course :D . Would they have killed his drake? |

It ain't Atlantean! Sheila/Alachia wouldn't use the Foundation, even covertly, to further her Downcycle Hunting agendas. ;) |

She didn't get where she is, and live as long as she has, and become as powerful as she is (arguably the 3rd strongest spellcaster in the Sixth World) by being a total idiot.

I just want Atlantis to sprout up again. I wonder if it would be taken over by the corps ASAP being a hotbed for magical research and such. What did ED have to say about Atlantis?

Nothing.
The only countries that were described in (more or less) detail were Barsaive (Ukraine), Rugaria (Romania?), Vasgothia (Germany), Thera (well, an island in the Mediterranean), Indrisa (India), forget the name that Italy got, Marac (North Africa, not sure which country excatly) and forgot the name Egypt got. |

Talea
I agree with Fortune "Atlantis" can and will stay dead. It's just a red herring anyways. |

The Drake was taken out by a shadowrunning team, hired by a Johnston, who was hired by (several levels here), hired by Ares. Damien Knight was about to make a big, but subtle move, and needed Loffy distracted.
What could be a bigger distraction than having a GD go think of you with revenge on their mind. |

Maybe it's the alcohol and early morning talking, but wasn't Thera meant to be Atlantis?

There Knight goes screwing with Chicago and the bugs again! I call for his head :D Just think about him and Villers having a company BBQ. How many people do you think the to of them could screw over if they combined their power and influance? |

Yes, Thera is the source of the Atlantis myth (that is what you get for having your city float with magic, idiots), but the modern day atlantean foundation uses it as a smokescreen. They're all "we're researching the lost past, trying to find the truth behind atlantis", but they have an immortal elf heading the thing who already Knows. So she sends her deluded flunkies to places she knows have ruins to dig up things she'd find useful, all the while feeding them revisionist "atlantean" justifications for what they are finding.
