Diary: 12.30.2000 The subjects made a foray to their feeding grounds and behaved supremely incompetently. Do they believe that they are no longer responsible for their actions? Ah well, I doubt they will be killed for their idiocy, at least not until they have enemies willing to capitalize on their mistakes. Thomas's contact has been able to furnish me an audio recording of Jan's declaration that he would take back the city. Most interesting. The significance of his name change seemed to be lost on the majority of the audience, as such trite sentimentalism so often is. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his announcement regarding siring rights met with a bit more acclaim. Given MacMillan's essays on the Camarilla's philosophy I'm surprised Jan was able to offer so much, but perhaps the old man got a thing or two wrong.     Transcribed and maintained Elizabeth Kent
