The Temples Operation In New York New York
In the shadowed streets of New York, the Temple and Vampire Empire clash, with the Temple's mission to plant explosive charges and cement their dominance over the city. A bitter confrontation ensues at the historical shop on Chamber and Church Street, where the Vampire Empire has established its last defiance. The Temple forces, led by Ethan and his allies, Carmine, Amy, and Luna, are embroiled in a ferocious battle against Harriet and the crimson-clad troopers of the Vampire Empire. They dodge bullets and parry lethal strikes, with Kylia, a Vampire Empire sniper, barely missing them multiple times. The fight is chaotic, with each side narrowly escaping death as they sprint toward taxis, buses, and ultimately, the sedan where the explosives need to be set. Harriet, a standout opponent, is persistently targeted by both sides, with the Temple forces managing to blind and wound her with precise shots until she eventually fades out of the nightmare, symbolizing a significant win for the Temple.
As Carmine methodically sets the explosive charges, the Temple continues to fend off determined assaults from the Vampire Empire's troopers. The escalating conflict is intense, with Amy evading lethal stabs and Luna's flaming arrows narrowly missing their marks. Ethan, grappling with an injury, insists on covering Carmine and ensures that their mission proceeds unhindered. Despite the occasional interruptions from the Empire's forces, the Temple soldiers maintain their positions, committed to seeing their task through. Finally, after enduring the strife and the persistent enemy, Carmine successfully plants the final charge, and the Temple claims a momentous victory, with the shop and resistance destroyed, signifying the end of the Vampire Empire's challenge and the Temple's unshakable hold over the city.
At Mon Nov 27 2023, in the city of New York, New York
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue setting the explosive charges until the process is complete.
With the Temple's grip on New York City solidified through recent military and political victories, establishing a covert capture and tracking outfit in Bellevue Hospital's expanded cancer wing, and converting the city's political and financial elite to their cause, the faction is poised to strike at the heart of the city and establish a permanent foothold. Leveraging previous connections with Tyrell Corporation, the Temple has been offered a substantial section within one of Tyrell's downtown skyscrapers, positioning themselves to take part of it over as a future base of operations, ensuring unhindered progress for New York's current supernatural surveillance programs, as well as laying the foundation for other future projects.
However, the recent abductions, forced implantation surgeries, and general antagonism of the supernatural community have not gone unnoticed. Weakened and fearing the worst under Templar control, the Vampire Court of New York has reached out to the Vampire Empire. With promises of money, influence, and the Empire's natural inclination to defend their kind, the Empire has dispatched a task force to disrupt, deny, and degrade any further Templar expansion. Making overtures to native supernaturals in New York who have thus far evaded Templar capture, the Empire has established an initial presence somewhere in the city.
Temple Intelligence, with information from Tyrell Corporation, has located a historical shop at the intersection of Chamber and Church Street, which the Vampire Empire is using as its staging point to strike at Templar operations. Rather than merely removing the interlopers, the Templar cell in New York has decided to send a message by blowing up the building, serving as a warning to other would-be trespassers. By eliminating this last vestige of resistance, the Temple aims to fully establish itself as the dominant presence in New York.
