The man wore a long white coat, buttoned down the middle and with the burning cross emblazoned on his chest. A chain with an additional cross had been hung around his neck, lined with long fanged teeth. His face was obscured by a deep black veil, a head-covering similar to a tiny little tent obscuring any identifiable features. But better than all his clothes he wore an aura of respect, of fear. It was in his step, and without even seeing his eyes they could be felt burning just out of sight. It was the movement of a predator about to strike, a panther circling it's prey.

Kami no Kage walked through the doors of SOLDIER HQ, flanked on each side by a SOLDIER operative. One of the few who had been granted the honour of personally guarding the High Council. He was lead through a series of corridors, twisting and turning, until eventually a great metal gate parted before him. What awaited him was a circular room, lined with large screens.

The High Council of SOLDIER had, of course, not chosen to meet with Kami no Kage. They were not fools. However, a video conference had been established, and Kami no Kage sat down at the provided chair even as the obscured faces peered from their respective screens. And then, in a monotone voice, he spoke.

"A vampire is heading towards America. He goes by the name of Void, and he is one of the most deadly oldbloods on the planet. An ancient force of pestilence who specializes not in individual combat, but the slaughter of millions. As such, I have come here to you with an offer, a treaty of sorts. You will destroy the indicated plane utilizing heat-guided missiles. If you succeed in doing such, then the Purge will disband, and all military assets will be moved to SOLDIER."

Kami no Kage's voice was straight and monotone, as it droned on. "Within 5 hours, the plane will land on American soil. Make your choice, and be ready to bear the consequences thereof. For if Void were to be unleashed, it will be the end of SOLDIER. And potentially, the end of America as a whole."
