2. The topic of which Elysium to enter comes up, and there is much debate, with all three options reviewed.

 1. Christian had provided them coordinates and an address which matched up with the NOLA shipyard.
2. Many warehouses were located there, with the Rest Ever After warehouse - a storage and shipping hub for a coffin retailer - seemed to be at the center next to another warehouse called Holding & Co.
3. Carver initially tried to trick the guard into opening the gate, but when Suzannah stepped out in her police uniform and Carver used Chimerstry to make banging noises, the guard decided to open it up and let the car (with tinted windows) through.

	1. Someone with the initials XV comes by twice weekly and the date of their next visit, a few days hence.
	2. They work odd hours 8-10, seemingly for Security.
8. Carver, while in the logistic manager (Elliot Cena) office, noticed:

	2. There is a specific, luxury model of casket that the warehouse receives in a fixed amount at regular intervals and that it did not change over time, unlike the other types shipped.
	3. The warehouse papers had signatures with the surname Patron.
	4. The floor map from the floor supervisor’s (Miguel DeSanto) office showed that the caskets Carver had noticed were stored in special storage rather than on the warehouse floor.
9. When the group began searching for them, Ivy began feeling as if they were being watched. She had noticed it earlier, and the feeling returned.
	1. An active Auspex roll revealed a womanly apparition dressed in a long, dark dress.
	2. Ivy began talking to the woman, and at the others’ confusion, the woman appeared to the rest.

 1. Inside the chamber was an old, ornate wooden casket with gold detailing and the letters SV on the lid.
2. Shiloh’s body was inside the casket, held fast by a strange wood and metal spike.
3. She did not wake when it was removed, so Gianna used Celerity to snatch the guard and bring him back unconscious.
4. Carver and Gianna wanted to drain him to feed Shiloh, but Suzannah stopped them.
5. While they debated, Ivy’s instincts were again triggered, this time by the spike. She told them they needed to run.

 E
 1. While trying to figure out how to wake Shiloh, the group heard footsteps.
2. Suzannah went out to head off what she assumed were more squatters but came face to face with an older black man who seemed more scared by Suzannah than her gun.
3. Picking up on this, Suzannah had him follow her back to the room with the others.
4. Levi reacted with anger upon seeing Carver, proclaiming that he did not wish to help the “lick” who killed his cousin.
5. Suzannah talked Levi down, convincing him to step out to another room so that they could talk.
6. He agreed, but before he left, insisting on “stopping the crying” he placed the spike back into Shiloh’s body stating that it had to be in place when they fed her.
7. Levi then headed up stairs.
8. The group fed Shiloh eleven points of their own vitae using IV bags, during which time the spike began to glow and her body healed.
9. Shiloh awoke, disoriented, scared, and upset, drawing herself into a ball on the gurney.

	1. Levi waits for Suzannah in the room where Luke, Charlie, Chip, and Brenda died. But their bodies are gone.
	2. Levi explained that Luke, the man Carver killed, was his cousin and that Levi knew he was missing because Luke had never met up with him to go to Luke’s housing interview.
	3. Chip (Ivy’s kill)  had been trying to find a job so he could get his own place because he had a girl he wanted to marry.
