August 1932

08/21/ -- Arrive New York, late afternoon. Amanda and Maxine spend the afternoon looking through books and papers recovered from the Penthus Building. Andrew goes to survey the warehouse where Edward Chandler has indicated the collection jars are taken to. After getting a good idea of the layout, entrances and exits, he goes back to the hotel, planning to return later in the evening with the rest of the group.

August 1932

08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932

08/01 -- Dr. Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose tavern in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. After a violent encounter with the tavern's proprietor, the four men discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a strange medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

08/02 -- Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, and Flynn (and one other guy, whose name starts, I believe, with G).

08/03 -- The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

08/04 -- The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

08/05 The four men meet in the Irish Rose to consider their next move. Williams recruits Drifter Joe and Dr. Obediah Walters.

08/06

  • Ecker, Williams and Joe kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).

08/07 Lila gives Katie Flynn the injection of serum from Dr. Ecker (the serum developed by Parkhurst).

08/08 A new manager is hired at the Irish Rose (Susie Q). Mysterious Russians seek an audience with Lovejoy and the Irish Rose crew. The Purple Gang tasks JT's 'gang' with importing unspecified items from Canada on the 12th (Friday). A wealthy woman, Voisoine du Montaine, gives Obediah a strange elixir after causing a scene at the Irish Rose.

08/09 Rev. Scott (allegedly) sprouts tentacles and devours one of the agents at his ministry. Obediah follows Voisoine from her hotel so that he can 'accidentally' run into her at a bar. She offers him a job producing the mysterious elixir and gives him a check for $2000.

08/10 Michael Barnes (the presumed leader of the government agents that were trying to capture Scott asks Victor (who agrees) to lure Scott to an isolated area so that they can capture him without alarming people (Victor instead warns Scott). Victor meets again with the Russians and returns to the Rose with an offer of a meeting (to be held Thursday or Saturday).
