| abstract | - Samuel, tells that Dev/Null is a hacker/cracker friend of him; embraced by the Malkavian as a gift/punishment for hacking the Malkavians' Madness Network (a magical network of insanity that seems to imply that Dev/Null could be a mage before his embrace). Samuel explains that his contact, one "Dev/Null" might know a way for the coterie to gain access to the Giovanni warehouse in spite of Thorne's obstruction. The downside is that Dev/Null is one of the more incoherent of the Malkavians. In exchange for his services, he first requires that the coterie install a scanner that will intercept police communications, from which he can unravel the code that locks the warehouse door. He also grants Christof Romuald the use of his apartment as a temporary haven. In his first encounter Dev/Null seems to known about Christof (calling him Maliki for some reason at one point), and his companions. He knows that Pink is an Assamite ("Hi Pink, ass a mite stupid name"), he knoes that the Sire of Lily is captured in the Barclay South building ("Hi Lil-lita, mom is in the southern bar of clay"). The Lunatic's ravings anger Pink, who is uncharacteristically euphemistic, much to Samuel's surprise. Dev/Null tries to say that Pink is not a Brujah, but an Assamite, but his weird talking only confuses the coterie; and then he sends an e-mail to Wilhem (this seems to imply that Dev/Null could be Independent or Sabbat).
