Attacks from hyper-evolved vampires are on the rise in Mexico
Annalee Newitz —
It's just like something out of Guillermo Del Toro's Blade II, where the vampires use genetic engineering to create hyper-evolved super vampires with giant jaws. Over the past several weeks in Mexico, sheep have been brutally attacked and drained of blood by a large, unrecognizable animal . . . who leaves huge bite marks behind.
UFO site Inexplicata reports:
The first incident was recorded in the early hours of 16 February with 12 dead sheep and others with severe wounds.
The affected party stated that his animals were in a pen with a two meter tall fence, which natural predators are unable to penetrate. Even so, the strange animal entered and attacked the sheep without eating them, relieving them of their blood and leaving marks suggesting a jaw that can open up to 20 centimeters. There were also scratches and puncture marks from long fangs in evidence. Lambs had their heads crushed.
The second attack occurred during the first hours of Monday, 21 February on the property of Mr. Roberto Villalobos, with 20 dead sheep.
The third attack took place again on Mr. Villalobos's property.
"The custodian saw what was happening and unleashed a Great Dane to fight the animal, which he was able to see in the shadows. But the dog fled after receiving a push from the assailant," said a startled Roberto Villalobos.
Local residents are fearful of going out in the evening, saying that for a week now they have been victimized by attacks from an unknown animal whose prints they are unable to recognize.
The place where the events occurred is Estación de Terrazas, a rural areal located 40 km from Chihuahua's state capital.
DATES OF THE ATTACKS:
Wednesday, 16 February – 12 dead sheep, 10 wounded
Monday, 21 February – 20 dead sheep, 25 injured
Friday, 25 February – 15 dead sheepRead more at Inexplicata

[Mage: the Awakening & Vampire the Requiem] What do you want to see in the chronicle - and open discussion
So far for myself, I am about half way through statting up my Changeling setting, and it is of course coming to it's end. Exalted will be started and I will do the odd story of vampire.
But to help with ideas for plots,
What do you guys want to see in a Vampire game and Mage? Already I think we have a sort of theme for Vampire, but I would like some suggestions from you guys, or at least what the political aims of the coterie is.
As for mage what sort of stuff do you want to get out of it? I plan for a game based around magical revolution in the face of ancient mysteries. So there are elements from the Matrix, Pi, the Books of Magic, the Invisibles, Dark City, Neverwhere and I am also now looking at how to incorporate ideas from Inception.
