Mackie thought that something was very wrong as his eyes caught
sight of the grey ziggurat of the Genom Tower through the massive four
stories high window at the entrance to the Junction Airport.  His heart
cloaked dark in his own shadows, eyes burning as the mortal girl pressed
herself against his right side, he glared in hate at the Tower.  When
younger and mortal, it had seemed the Tower was simply architectual
monstrousity.  Now more experienced and a member of the immortal race of
the True Masters of this world,  the Tower looked like it truly was, a
malignant boil on the surface of their beautiful world, filled with the
puss that was formori, Black Spiral Dancers, Tremere, Giovanni, and the
Technocracy.  The monster once Pentex, now the greater evil Genom, risen
from the ashes of their first defeat like a dark phoenix.

The Sabbat LIKES Pentex.

True,  but Mackie does not.  It is important to remember that the Black
Hand (which Mackie's foremost loyalty is to) is controlled by the True
Black Hand, who don't like Pentex.  Besides, in 2035, Genom (Pentex
suffered major losses back in 2015), has by and large abandoned the Sabbat
(after all, the Sabbat is at barely a third of it's former strength)

I know it is confusing, but this is a pretty weird story.  Like I said,
this is the World of Darkness, where everyone has their own agenda, and is
out to backstab anyone who gets in their way.

More will become clearer in later chapters.

Sorry about the atrocious spelling and grammar.  It was truly bad (in my
haste to copy, I even left some _words_ out.) I will try to make some
final drafts, later.

Thanks for the feedback, hope this helps a little,
