SchreckNET
The Hidden Truth
The management of New York City, while a titanic task in and of itself, is merely a part of the agenda of the Nosferatu of the Five Boroughs. Their real project is what is affectionately referred to as the SchreckNET, a worldwide information network piggybacked onto the Internet which servo as a gigantic clearinghouse of information for members of the clan. Run from a node established at Cooper Union, the SchreckNET is also a constantly humming, heavily encrypted communications link between the Sewer Rats of cities from Down Under to Newfoundland. This discourse gives sub-, scribed Nosteratu access to a vast pool of experience and talent, and also provides the clan with tighter internal lines of communication than any other clan save perhaps the Tremere or Giovanni.
As far as the SchreckNET reaches, New York remains its nerve center, and with good reason. For it is New York, not the labyrinths dug into the Rockies and elsewhere, that the elders of the clan regard as the last, best hope for thwarting the Nictuku. By controlling the city's resources, greater than those, of any other metropolis in the world the Nosferatu hope to co-opt the 11 million or so denizens of the Big Apple into the war against the Nictuku as unwitting allies. Years and tens of millions of city dollars have gone into making New York a deathtrap to approach from below, preparing for the inevitable battle that will make-the wars of the sects look like children's squabbling at recess.
