The Schaefer and Harrigan Incidents
File Number X992 and X993

SUMMARY OF EVENTS
   Between the hours of 11am on Saturday 14th March and 5pm on Sunday 15th
March 1984, a battle took place in the jungles of South America.  This
battle occurred between an eight man unit of Special Forces veterans, the
least experienced of which had been with the Special Forces for a decade,
and an unknown, unnamed, single  individual.  The Special Forces Unit was
butchered to a man, with only their leader, Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer
surviving.  His whereabouts are presently unknown.
   Over the week 1-7th July, 1995, the Colombian and Jamaican drug cartels
of Los Angeles, the LAPD unit set up to destroy them and a Special Affairs
Division Unit headed by William Chapel were all butchered, again by an
unknown individual.  As before, the killings ended with a protracted duel
between one man and the killer.  Again, the man in question, Detective
Michael Harrigan, won.  However, Harrigan's whereabouts are most certainly
well known.

SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION
   These two files have been combined because it is my belief that we have
conclusively proven that the two cases are connected.  They are designated
900, because I believe that we have uncovered conclusive proof that the
cases are connected, not only by method, but by perpetrator.
   Our investigation began at the Ravenscar Mental Institute in West
Colorado.  Detective Harrigan has been incarcerated there for almost two
years now and, when we met him, it's easy to see why.  Harrigan is
paranoid, aggressive and almost disturbingly fit.  Indeed, almost the first
thing he did was show us exactly how fit he was, by lifting the orderly, a
23 stone gentleman, off the ground.  Before being restrained, he looked at
us, smiled and said:  "learnt that trick from the thing."
   Harrigan told us of his experiences with pride, emphasising the "honour"
of the duel he fought with the killer.  He explained that, unintentionally
or not, the killer had instigated brutal gang war by his killing of the
Colombian drug lords and this war had only seemed to bring the creature out
more, making it far more active than normal.  He also stated that the mass
killing of almost a hundred commuters, previously thought to be a
particularly bloody gang shootout was both provoked and participated in by
the killer.  He also pointed us towards Detective Marisa Sanchez, a member
of his team and still serving on the force.
   Sanchez still works out of the 93rd, the precinct Harrigan worked out
of, and was only too happy to talk to us.  Indeed, she explained at great
deal how the "Fucking Feds" had got Jerry Lambert, her partner and over a
hundred others killed.  When we explained that we were investigating
Summers' actions, she went on to explain what she'd seen in the train.  A
panicked commuter had pulled a gun on the gang working the train, leading
to almost everyone else in the carriage drawing their own weapons.  Lambert
and Sanchez were diffusing the situation when the killer cut the lights and
rampaged through the carriage, killing anyone with a weapon.  Lambert
pushed Sanchez towards the exit, screaming at her to hurry the commuters
out.  Looking back, she saw Lambert empty his gun, then hurl it and his
lucky golf ball at thin air .  Lambert's spine and skull were ripped from
his body when it was recovered and they have never been found.  Please note
the similarities between this and the deaths of Corporal Billy Widehawk and
Lt.  Mitchell Hoskins in the Special Forces Unit. A new, and I feel vital
factor is added to the case however, by Sanchez' own experiences with the
"Predator".  It accosted her on the platform, lifting her one handed  
three feet into the air.  It then stared at her chest for a second and then
let her go.  Detective Sanchez was pregnant at the time, although the baby
was miscarried as a result of the shock.
   The conclusion that can be drawn from this is clear.  The creature is
intelligent or, at the very least, discriminating.  Either it has a very,
very specific criteria with which it selects it's opponents or it has
ethics of a sort.  Either way, Detective Sanchez' experience is one of
several which allow us to discern the killer's ideal victim, or rather,
those it will not select.

A)  The unarmed are safe.  Therefore, a person who is armed or capable of
defending themselves is a viable target(It is worth noting that Carla
Fulton, New York State Middleweight Karate Champion was almost certainly
killed by one of these creatures.  Therefore, it clearly classifies unarmed
combat as a viable means of defence.

B)  Either women OR pregnant women OR both are safe.  Either way, it seems
likely that the killer will not attack those carrying another life{This is
complete supposition, although I agree with Shenko's logic}.

   As a result of this, and based on the experiences of the Special Forces
Unit, it seems possible to construct a profile:

   Rigid self control, similar to the warrior monk orders of the Middle
East.  For him, honour is everything and dictates his every action.  He is,
in a sense, a very lonely individual, his search for and combat with the
opponent is both self destructive and self defining.  The individual gets
an almost religious thrill from combat, becoming a full individual only
when engaged in it.  As a result, he is both tremendously strong and
tremendously weak when involved in it.  Whilst he is an incredible fighter,
his obsession with single combat often blinds him to other
possibilities(Both Schaefer and Harrigan defeated the creature by cunning. 
Schaefer via a booby trap and Harrigan via "playing dead").  The usage of
the self destruct device would also suggest a need to win, transcending
even the honour of single combat.  This makes the individual a strange
combination of honour driven obsessive and cornered animal.  As a result,
he is extremely dangerous.

NOTABLE OTHER FACTORS
HEAT:  The creatures have shown a notable fondness for heat.  The 992
creature had, according to what records we can recover, lived in the jungle
for up to three years.  The 993 creature had been attracted to Los Angeles
by an unusually hot summer.  As a result, this Agent recommends that any
areas where the heat is uniformly 90F + should have a trained Special
Forces Unit available at all times.

"ROGUE ELEPHANTS":  There have been two cases recently, one on the East
Coast and another in Nevada where the creature involved has itself been
hunted by another.  In these cases, the creature involved has shown notably
higher levels of brutality and less regard for the "Honour clause" that the
others have shown.

UFO ACTIVITY:  In both the Harrigan and Schaefer cases, UFO activity has
been reported.  Indeed, Harrigan claimed he had been aboard the alien
vessel, seen numerous others there and their "Trophy case" containing the
severed heads of their victims.  Whether this is true or not, intermittent
UFO activity(Suggestive of "dropping off" the individual off) is a common
factor in the buildup to Predator activity.

TECHNOLOGY:  This, I believe, is ultimate proof that we are dealing with an
extra-terrestrial race.  The Predators have time and again shown incredible
technological advances.  Personal, light bending force fields create
near-perfect invisibility(Imagine the effectiveness of device in Awakened
Reconnaissance), Plasma based weaponry and amazingly small and advanced
computer equipment and explosives.
RECENT INCIDENTS
ITEM:  Sevenaya Weapons Research Station, Russia.  There is evidence that
the Russians were field testing some genetically engineered troops in this
area.  They were slaughtered to a man.

ITEM:  The USS ELKRIDGE , a Special Forces Insertion Vessel was attacked
and heavily damaged by three of the creatures.  There is evidence that this
may have been an act of the "Rogue" Faction encounter twice before.


CONCLUSION  
   Agent Hanrahan and I are in complete agreement on this.  We believe the
Predators to be an incredibly dangerous, although controllable factor. 
It's also worth pointing out that, should we be able to acquire any of
their technology, the fight against the Awakened would be far, far easier.

               Playing The Predator in the World of Darkness

General
   The Awakened provide a tremendous attraction for the Predators(Like Gary
Busey says in Predator II:  "Lions, tigers, bears...Oh my ").  Indeed, the
Rogue faction is becoming increasingly difficult to control, due to the
tremendous variety of prey on Earth.
   Basically, the Predators should be played as they are in the films. 
Silent, ruthless and utterly, utterly deadly.  In fact, the Kindred are
increasingly using them as a "Bogey Man" for Neonates("Don't kill
unnecessarily and don't brag about how tough you are or the Predator will
get you.")

Other Races' Views
Camarilla:  Not as we are.  The easiest way of defeating them is not to
arouse their attention.
Sabbat:  Hey!Dread lock boy!Bring it on!

Garou:  They are not of Gaia and cannot be reasoned with.  Kill them
without mercy, wherever you find them.  

Magi:  Fascinating technology!  If we could only get our hands on one of
their computers...

Wraiths:  They are no concern of ours.

Changelings:  Ha!  A rogue pawn enters the game.  Uncontrolled, playing by
their own rules, savagely violent.  Chaos truly has beauty.

Immortals:  They've killed at least twenty of us over the centuries.  Fight
without mercy, kill without mercy.  And fight with help, they're deadly
when cornered.
