You really aren't under any obligation to figure out exactly what Troika had in mind. Just tell a good story. The one you want to tell. While keeping it a bit consistent with what's in the game.

I think you're all reaching for something that doesn't exist. There is very likely no good explanation for HOW anything was done in-universe. Stuff happens to advance a story and it's themes, no matter if it makes sense.

The game story is nihilistic. It plays with themes about lies, deception, power, immortality, impending doom etc, but ultimately it is only a long trek that ends with an ironic punchline (whoever gets the desirable mcguffin dies). That is ALL it is. A story about vampires dicking each other over thinking they are involved with something really important and that they may come out all powerful if they play their cards right, but in the end it was all just a prank for absolutely no reason.

It doesn't play into the greater Classic World of Darkness story, it is just a slice of life in the Final Nights before Gehenna.

Sufyan: There is very likely no good explanation for HOW anything was done in-universe.
As the Prequel intends to show how it actually was done, it needs to make sense in my opinion! I contacted Brian Mitsoda about the two major theories, Jack in the container or attack near LA, but he answered diplomatically: "I'd leave it up to interpretation, but I think you are on the right track with those theories." :)

wesp5: Who is this and how can he be contaced?
Andrew Meggs was the lead programmer IIRC. He even has a giant tombstone on the Hollywood cemetery (hard to miss). I don't think he will be able to help with the story though, I'm just saying that he still remembers his work - so should the others. I think he had a Facebook page.

If Brian Mitsoda says that, then there is a chance that they never had thought much about the Jack's little adventure.

"Jack's beard is hypnotic". Damn, now just what the hell this means??? It is the one and only thing i haven't figured out and i still need answer! Also, why is he a demon??? "What are you pontificating, demon?"

Thanks for letting me join the club.

I think I will drink some human blood and defile a holy object.
This is a game about vampires after all.
