Notes

• In reaction to an attempted lap dance that Issa had secretly purchased to be performed, Autumn in his horror at the woman grinding on his lap granted her a brief taste of death sight. This shook the woman quite severely.
• The cabal rescued Valentina from being vampire chow on a cruise ship - she was not very appreciative of their help, sensing no danger - the just pulled her away from wealthy clients as far as she was concerned, though by the end of a lecture she was somewhat doubtful
• Issa having grown tired of watching Valentina drag her sister Sophie's potential down decided it was time for a change. He called his lover in Africa & warned that he'd be sending a woman his way that needed help cleaning up her life & while Valentina was sleeping sent her through a portal to Africa for "rehab". He then dictated to the air in case of anyone using precog, explaining what he did & why and forged two letters - one to Sophie instructing her to seek out Malachite as her new ward and one to Malachite explaining the same until she returned from rehab. If all went well, Valentina WOULD return eventually & have cleaned up her act. If she did not, then Sophie would be better off anyway. No one else was made aware of these actions.
• Val has become one of Issa's umthakathi students and has also began assisting Jelani in his medical research by running errands and/or supplies.
