Mattie Storin is blatantly taken from the Michael Dobb's novel House of Cards and the excellent BBC production of the same. Credit is given where it's due.

Moment 1 - Assignment
Mid-February, 1999 and momentarily back in the UK, Mattie's editor
passes on an ironic assignment. Short vignette.
Anything But The Ghoul
Sometimes, those human passions can get a person into the most annoying
trouble...
The Morning After
Sick of work and being surrounded by vampires, Mattie decides to have a
night out - as far as Contra Costa can offer such a thing - and lives
to regret it.
The pieces below were written during Mattie's tenure with one particular game - Darke Silver Theater - from January 1999 - June 1999, and are part of a different continuity that the Aragon pieces, above. Some elements of DST were carried over into Aragon - the characters of John Riley, Devon Ashmoore and Corianna Stancliffe - but don't let that confuse you.
