**1. You’re as committed to Counterpoint as anyone. Hell, maybe more so - half of your comrades seem resigned to losing the Prince fight, and are just interested in what they can get out of it. If you have your way, [[MacDaniel]] is going to be the next Prince of this city. But the only way that’s going to happen is if some of the rhetoric gets toned down. The Theses were fascinating work, but they don’t form a useful path forward for the faction, and if it comes down to it, they’ll sink Counterpoint’s chances at victory. Get them dropped.  2. [[MacDaniel]] is gonna be the next Prince of this city, and he’ll need a Seneschal. Someone who understands the politics of this city, who can balance his glorious vision with the art of the possible. You’re the obvious choice, maybe the only choice. Still, even the good guys can have short memories. Make sure that MacDaniel has good reason to look favorably on you when the moment comes.  3. You know that there are Caitiff among the members of Counterpoint. You’ve never been wild about that - yes, you agree the policy of destroying all Caitiff is incompatible with the Camarilla as a place of peace and civilization, but that doesn’t mean you like spending time with them. Anyway, the Firstborn have been sniffing around your faction for any signs of weakness, and exposing a Caitiff would be the perfect way of spoiling your reputation. Do whatever it takes to keep things quiet.**
