2032 Houston Battle Plan

Houston

Stage 1 - Preparations

• 1.1 -- Get Germano Giovanni and I out of Houston. {}
• 1.2 -- Travel to New Orleans. {}
• 1.3 -- Meet the Prince and introduce everyone, explaining that we are all just passing through as reinforcements for Houston versus the Sabbat.
• 1.4 -- Find and purchase all the gear we will need in Houston (ammo, explosives, body-armor, etc).
• 1.5 -- Arrange transport of all the Giovanni and I, back into Houston, secretly.
• 1.6 -- Find and setup a secret base of operations within a 100 mile radius of the Houston suburbs.
• -- Time to stage 1 completion: 96 hours or 4 days.

Stage 2 -- The Setup

• -- Find source of information on the structure of the Houston Gangs; preferably gang related watchdog groups.

• -- Locate a Houston hacker who will hack the police department, specifically the vice rap sheets. We are looking for hookers with specific gang affiliations.

• -- Figure out which gangs to target first and which hookers are affiliated with them.

• -- Once a particular gang has been chosen, we will dominate key hookers affiliated with that gang's primary rival club and spread the rumor that the target gang is allying itself with the Italian mafia.

• -- 24 hours later begin the assassinations of key leadership member in the rival gangs via standard Italian gangland style, usually a point blank shot to the face at close range.

• -- Time to Stage 2 Completion: 120 hours or 5 days.

Stage 3 -- The False Target

So what is the false target? Its an actual attack against one or more of Zion Vangonni's sacred sites with the goal of stretching his time and resources to the limit and convincing him that the attacks on the sacred sites are the actual point of the exercise. In reality, its just another distraction designed to make him look in any direction except the one in which we will be coming at him. The following four targets are all theoretically capable of being destroyed by mortal demolitions, so while they are somewhat predictable, they are also equally vulnerable to the mortal Giovanni who will be moving by day-light.

• -- #2 -- Holyoake Salt Mine (Abandoned Mining Site)
• -- #4 -- Houston RV Super Center (Abandoned & Unofficial Junkyard)
• -- #6 -- Carol Vance Unit (Abandoned Prison Complex)
• -- #9 -- Bryce Refinery (Abandoned Refinery)
• -- Time to stage 3 completion: 12 hours of daylight. {Its March, which means its really close to the Spring Equinox.}

Stage 4 -- Coup de Grâce

• -- While different groups are carrying out assassinations of certain key gang leaders to fuel the paranoia, greed and chaos, another set of groups will be carrying out demolition strikes against 3 or 4 of the nodes in Vangonni's geomantic star. That will free up a core group of the Giovanni and I to enter Zion's lair via the downtown sewers of Houston.
• -- The Nexus -- Houston Savoy Hotel (Abandoned Early 20th Century Hotel)
• -- Time to stage 4 completion: 12 hours of night. {Its March, which means its really close to the Spring Equinox.}

Total Time to Mission Resolution

• -- 10 total days.
