* ''(Session Sixteen - October, 2013)''

* After the party, the Americans talk back at the house they are staying at. Walters says that the Tsarina had invited her to his rooms, changed clothes, and asked him about Hannah. 
** Tsarina has a fraught relationship with the Seelie Court, and has apparently heard about Hannah's emotional state. 
* Discuss that Victor or the Unseelie Court (perhaps Elder Vandervecken in the Court) are likely channels of information from Russia to the Seelie Court. 
* Hannah thinks that Usher was behind the hit on Macklin, done through a human agent named Vladimir Zavanov (brother of exiled Russian alchemist Anton Zavanov). Zavanov was sent to get Parkhurst's journals, and killed Macklin just because. He may have been ridden by one of the Elders, and the ritual was to feed the Elder. 
** Candide says that in the old times, the Elders spoke through people, but would consume the humans they rode very quickly.
** Hannah perhaps says that she is related to the Tsarina, but we do not know how. 
* Contrastingly, Rulinov says that Vandervecken was probably behind the hit on Macklin. 

* In the early morning, first Doc Walters, and then Lovejoy was visited by a young girl in servant's clothes - who quietly knocks, then tells him in Russian "Please hurry, wake the others, get dressed, come with me." Eventually admits that she was sent by Boyar Rulinov. (This turns out to be "Tiva".) 
** Taken via tunnel to a nearby building, over to a nightclub. A guy at the bar is 6'2", lanky, brown hair, green eyes. (Looks like modern actor Eric Balfour.) Introduced himself as as Dale Parsons or "James Hunter". Came highly recommended by Boris Valenko or Comte de la Fer. Says he is an enemy of "Joe the Boss". 
** Says had friends in occult investigations. Alexi Vichnaveski and Boris Valenko set him up here in Moscow. Said that they didn't know what would happen - including probably the Tsar. 
** Theodore "Buck" Holland is an African-American band leader from Kansas City, in the band in Moscow. 
** Natasha is a 20-year-old blonde women who also works for him. 
** Svetlana is another striking blonde woman going for the Marlena Dietrich look. 
** Says he is friends with the girl Tiva, and trusts her judgment. 

* Doc Walters says that the Tsarina offered to have Rulinov taken as a prisoner to the Seelie Court. She said that Madeline Usher wants the incubator kids (Olivia and Jason). 
* Victor and Lila bring up that we should definitely respond to this offer. Preferably 
* Walters suggests that we should ...

* Dale and Lila talk about magic. He says about the symbiosis of the Rodina (the land), the Tsar, and the Tsarina. 
** There are things older than their bodies in the Tsar and Tsarina that are integrated. 
** Says about the river of blood, Alexi may have suspected but others probably did not (including the Tsar). 
** Suspects Madeline Usher of the plot with the mutant necrophage. 

* Talk with Adela and Candide about the crimes of Rulinov. Adela wants Rulinov killed for his crimes, but Victor argued that his crimes were before he merged with an Elder. 
** Adela and Candide explain that the companions of Elders are drained of all life essence, becoming lifeless husks. 
** There were disembodied Elders, but they all embodied into Fae bodies with the rise of the ambient.
