VII is an unknown entity among the vampires of Vampire: The Requiem. They are a covenant in the loosest possible sense of the word, and might not even be a covenant in the sense of a political/spiritual organisation. It is unknown if VII is a true covenant, a particularly insular clan, or merely a strange cult among the Kindred.
The name Seven, by which Kindred recognise the sect, originated due to the use of a symbol left behind at the scenes of many attacks upon the Kindred - the Roman Numeral seven - VII. Members of VII are fanatics on a mission to exterminate all Kindred who are not a part of themselves. It believes itself to be a legacy of vampires which exists purely to destroy the betrayers who brought about the pain of their current existence. (Source: whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/VII)
Lords and Masters of the Kindred, the Ventrue are the Kindred's most fervent social climbers, frequently seen at Elysium vying with one another to rise to the top of the pyramid. Regal, commanding and aristocratic, yet also prone to falling into madness, this clan gives rise to legends of Damned Lords and rulers in isolated, lofty castles. Ventrue are masters of Dominate, the Kindred Discipline of mental subjugation. They are sometimes called Lords. (Source: whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Ventrue_(VTR) )
A clan of vampires renowned for stealth, brute strength, their unnerving social manner and their hideous physical disfigurements. Stealthy, strong and terrifying. Nosferatu are masters of Nightmare, the Kindred Discipline of fear and terror. They are sometimes called Haunts. (Source: whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Nosferatu_(VTR) )

Here's stop number five of my chase of Vermont Railway train RDHJ making its 59 mile southbound trip from Rutland to Hoosick Junction where they will interchange with the Berkshire and Eastern Railroad, which operates the Pan Am Southern's ex Boston and Maine west end. Only a mile further south they are seen at about MP 16.5 on the B&R Sub mainline crossing a small marsh as they parallel the Batten Kill River at one of the signature locations on the line. Dominating the background is 3840 ft. Equinox Mountain, the highest peak in the Taconic Range and interestingly home to the longest privately owned toll road in the US which opened in 1947 climbing 3248 feet over 5.2 miles from Route 7A up to the summit.
The train is led by leased Providence and Worcester Railroad 2010 which was built new for Penn Central in Oct. 1969 as PC 7808. It passed to Conrail 7 years later and was sold to the PW in 1984, and then rebuilt in 1999 at Paducah and is now classified as a GP38-3. Trailing are VTR 210 (a rebuilt GP38-2 purchased from GATX that was originally blt. Oct. 1971 as Baltimore and Ohio GP40 4034), 432 (EMD SD70M-2 blt. Dec. 2006 as FEC 103), and GMTX 2202 (EMD GP38-2 originally blt. May 1972 as Penn Central 7943).
As for this line, it can trace its history back to the Western Vermont Railroad which was incorporated in 1845 and opened between Rutland and the New York state line south of Bennington in July 1852. In 1865 it was reorganized and renamed the Bennington and Rutland Railroad. Other reorganizations followed until the line was purchased by the Rutland Railroad in 1899 which by 1902 reached its peak at a 413 mile system. In 1904 the Rutland came under control of the New York Central which later sold half its shares to the New Haven. The railroad entered receivership in 1938 and the two big Eastern roads divested their shares to local ownership in 1941. Reorganized one last time in 1950 as the Rutland Railway. Strikes in 1952 and 1960 led management to finally give up and the entire railroad was shut down in 1961 and then in January 1963 the ICC approved total abandonment of the road. But six months later the state of Vermont stepped in to purchase the core of the system from Bennington to Burlington which began operations here in January 1964 as the new Vermont Railway. It's hard to comprehend, but now this route has been operated by the VTR longer than it was by the Rutland!

Mekhet are a clan in Vampire: the Requiem with an affinity to darkness. The hallmarks of the clan are stealth, finesse and wisdom.
There is often a certain amount of finesse and refinement in whatever Mekhet do. Mekhet can appear as stealthy information-gatherers, spies, assassins or scholars; but just as well they can be aristocrats making their mark in the societies of the damned. A Mekhet bodyguard for example is unlikely to rely on brute force, but rather know an ornate fighting style. A Mekhet thief is gracious or invisible, not a sloppy vandal. To the others, Mekhet appear to be the most ordinary of the kindred, the ones who seem to have the least to distinguish them from other vampires. They watch and hide, and the other clans don't seem to take much notice of them. Because Mekhet alone from the major clans have no powers of control over animals or people, they prefer to work in secret behind the scenes, via conspiracies and shadow cults.

This is one my favorites of this fun chase as the skies finally began to brighten a bit, hinting at the gorgeous afternoon to come.
Vermont Railway train 263 is seen passing Jersey Girls Dairy and crossing Thompson Road near MP B16.5 on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision. Leading the way on this historic former Rutland mainline which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849 is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham.

This is Links VTR, an orphaned joey. He was rescued near Link Road and then carried home on a Honda VTR, safely tucked into the hospital supervisor's bike jacket.
This photo was taken while Linksie was being lovingly cared for at home by his human foster Mum, Barb, before continuing his R&R at the hospital. Last year he also endured another mishap when he fell from a tree and dented his nose. These days though Linksie is a plump, happy and healthy little juvenile koala whose earlier setbacks are now far behind him!
Links is a favourite among we Koala Hospital paparazzi as you can see by all the Flickr photos tagged Links VTR. You can 'adopt' Linksie from the Koala Hospital website. Adoptions are a primary source of funding for the hospital to continue their critical work. They receive no government funding.
I didn't take this photo -- it's a scan of a printed snapshot, so it was originally very flat and dark. I cleaned it up in Picasa and then "ortonized" it by following these instructions.
