Want to think about "branding" all of their stuff - one unique symbol, color, style, so arm patches designed by Darrel & Scott. Skull’s head, women’s hair, vampire teeth with “Queen Bitch” embroidered on top, Aeternitatem on bottom. Bethany Anne called them her bitches. Symbol, name on planes, equipment, etc.

Planned to get Were teams, so trained humans to utmost so they would not be wanting in comparison. Made 3-car garage of new home into work-out gym

Dan bought Gulfstream G550 . Bobcat and William checked out on transport pool - planes (upgrade Shelly to Lever II armor and weapons, new Gulfstream G550 being re-fitted), cars (own 5 SUV's (2 currently receiving upgrades, put three on list for full armor support from Texas Armoring).

Looking for ships to buy. Have eye on Amels Sea Axe (big enough to accommodate Shelly, all small equipment and a support ship

Bethany Anne plans for Dad (Gen Lance Reynolds), Frank Kurns to join group. Frank Kurns had threatened to write book re BA’s activities. If memoirs, will be famous after he’s dead. OK with BA, as fiction or fantasy. He can publish book 25 years after faster than light travel accomplished. Will enhance him.

Lance joins group. Will be in charge of all business activities. Nathan joins group as head of her Intelligence Agency, and liaison for Were groups. Ecaterina to negotiate his buy-out price.

Dan set up Home Security Co., offered free 1 year contract to BA’s neighbors, if they used his Co. They all agreed, so BA had security in the neighborhood for little money

Stephen asks her if she is interested in helping him with the European problems, her choice, and she does choose to do so. She will be his new spymaster in charge in Europe.

Gabrielle meets Ivan, is interested also in computers, as well as a handsome young man. Ivan falls for her dimples, and they spend the nights together while she is there.

TQB Action Events; Martin Brennan; Adrien; Killing Sheikh Rahid; Team TBQ Details

Chapter 11

Martin Brennan, Bethany Anne's boss from "before", and a surrogate father image, found dead, He was found before 2 AM, tortured, with a chunk gone out of his neck, killed by a vampire. He had a potential line on who Bethany Anne had become, and had perhaps been killed for that information. Bethany Anne freaked out, plans to kill whoever responsible. Bethany Anne, TQB, Dan, Peter and Ecaterina fly to DC, go to Brennan's office. Bethany Anne can smell vampire in the area. Bethany Anne finds that Adrien, a Forsaken, had killed Brennan. Finds him, gives him bad nanocytes in blood, so he will die slowly. he tells her that Clarita (his Mother who had turned him) had assigned the task to him, so Bethany Anne goes after Clarita, in Costa Rica. Bethany Anne gives Adrian a task, to go back to her and inform her that she had signed her death certificate by sending him, and that iof her whole family as well, and that if there are any vampires left in Central America in six months, they will also die. She gave him a ticket to Mexico city, money and allowed him to leave. Adrian did go to Mexico City (feeling poorly) and then to Costa Rica to Clarita's home (ears falling off, no hair). He gave her the message, and blew himself up in front of her.

When Bethany Anne found that the Sheikh was a sexual sadist, she decided to kill him. Bobcat flew Shelly to within parachute distance of the Polarus, Bethany Anne 'chuted out, and went the last short distance through Etheric transfer. She would incapacitate the crew (sleeping gas), and talk to the Sheikh alone. She did so, and after all crew were disabled, Shelly landed TQB. John found Bethany Anne in the Sheikh's cabin , crying, with a lead female in her arms. She had found the Sheikh sleeping (gas), with Natalia Berona on the bed, almost dead. Bethany Anne had tried to save her (blood given), and was unable to do so. She was now crying uncontrollably. John snapped her out of it, carrying both the sleeping Sheikh and the body to the upper deck. Bethany Anne took the sheikh to the after-deck, tortured him for an hour before killing him (cutting off his head, with a pic of same) and dumping him overboard. A solemn ceremony was conducted for Natalie as well, offering her proper respect throughout. A trial was then conducted by Bethany Anne and TQB, sentencing the 10 Security Guards to death for not protecting the innocent, and most of the crew as well, keeping just enough to run the ships for her (10), wiping their minds so that they thought she was the new owner. It was a solemn occasion that cemented the role of the Queen Bitch’s Guard. They had a sacred trust that encompassed the protection of Bethany Anne and the protection of the innocent.As a new crew was now needed for both the Polarus and the Sea Axe, Dan, Frank and Ecaterina were employed in finding therm for her.

Planned to get Were teams, so trained humans to utmost so they would not be wanting in comparison. Made 3-car garage of new home into work-out gym. AC/DC song Big Balls. AC/DC became official team band. Team acquires nicknames, P1-Scott, P3-Darryl, P2-Eric. Became “pussies because they couldn’t draw Bethany Anne’s blood the right way. Ecaterina did it for Frank’s computers, etc.

Killian, sniper, joins team (6 month probation). Eventually learns to keep his mouth shut.

Polarus and Sea Axe=

Chapter 16

Because Bethany Anne wanted to expand her activities more, on the oceans, she had instructed Nathan to look for an Amels, and a Sea Axe. Nathan had found one for sale, by the Sheikh of an Arabian family, and Bethany Anne and TQB flew out on Shelly to investigate it. Bethany Anne had offered $2 mil down, and all was being checked out. The family wanted the sale to go through,(Polarus and Sea Axe) as the ships' owner (Sheikh Robban Rahid), was a sadistic (9 females) family wastrel and a disgrace, and was not carrying his share of the costs.

Chapter 17

After yachts purchased, Bethany Anne had the full responsibility of running and registering the ships. She found that Bobcat knew quite a bit about that, so gave those responsibilities to him to handle. Frank and Dan had been collecting possible crew names, so Frank began making calls ("My name is Frank Kurns. I’m ‘selling’ a job...) to the potential crew members he and Dan had lined up. Called first one, Capt. B. Thomas, to start the ball rolling.Frank began making calls ("My name is Frank Kurns. I’m ‘selling’ a job...) for interviews on the Polarus. They were Capt B. Thomas (High-lever officers double dipping- consulting/representing companies) Gunnery Office Jean Dukes(blew whistle on 2 officers mistreating a woman), Chief Engineer John Rodriguez(supported Duke's position, so did not re-up), Marine Todd Jenkins (Undermined a Congressman, so stepped aside, left Service), Lt. Commander Paul Jameson (Rules of Engagement caused best friend's death, would not be changed, so left), Lt. Commander Max Wagner (Discovered theft ring in Destroyer/port activities) . Paul Jameson piloted the plane ti Nassau, first leg of the interviews, so he spoke to them from Pilot's seat.

Chapter 18

On Polaris, saw presentations - a promo on the Forsaken(TQB working to defeat supernatural threat - showed Everglades activities activities, Bill's death, other operations). Notice vampires in videos, asked about good ones and bad ones, were told the difference. Bethany Anne spoke, left TQB to answer questions, disappeared. Came back, talked about Polarus and Sheikh Roddan and his activities, "vamped" as she discussed activities which made her angry. All decided that they would, indeed like to take care of the FCCs (Forsaken Cocks and Cunts).

ADAM; First thoughts; re AIs

Chapter 23

TKG04 Bite This/03 Jeffrey Diamantz, CEO of Patriarch Research, has tech problem doesn’t know how to solve. Learning program had crossed the technology singularity, allowing it to make super computers with no limit, with abilities to learn and grow in capabilities - an Artificial Intelligence. Malevolent or benevolent? Doesn’t want to launch it into the world. As Patriarch Research was a company of Michael's, and, as TQB Enterprises now owns it, Lance Reynolds comes to interview Diamantz re problem.
