4th of January, 1983 1982 has passed by us and is no more. Adelaide and I celebrated quietly, by ourselves, when midnight came around to herald the New Year. Christmas was a busy affair. Somehow the...obliterated her with a blast of power from a battleship. Meanwhile, my undercover work continues according to plan. No word from the Unspeakables, no word from Hollingberry. No new Tuatha de Dannan

11th of December, 1982 I've been too busy to write. The conference regarding Kuznetsov went about as well as I expected it would, given who was present. Arrogant fuckwit. Though I cannot say I was...Marie Drake is pregnant with twins. I did not ask how that one came about, and I am quite, quite sure I never want to know. Images of turkey basters or bovine insemination guns leave my gorge rising

15th of November, 1982 At some point in all of this madness, I turned forty-five. Adelaide and I took the time to accept an invitation to Soong's Halloween party, a gala with a James Bond theme. In...me back to square one. O'Calahan and Darius are going to have to be thoroughly informed and instructed. The conference I've called together is tomorrow night. I'd best get my shit together for it

4th of November, 1982 Where to begin? Called a truce with Rhodes until this war with Corruption is over, swapped notes with them both Soong and him, then warned them about the cultists. They managed...and Locke Kinnison's daughter to track more of them. And the Halloween party went splendidly, though now Darius and I have to play cabana boy for Adelaide and O'Calahan. Losing a bet can be a bitch

14th of October, 1982 Twice I've encountered Corruption since my last entry. The frequency with which it's appearing is growing more worrisome. Harlan Tepten's house was attacked and he was killed by...watching Vicki and Adrian squeal and giggle over that baby. The children have to be lonely for company. Perhaps a costume party for them would do all of us some good. Must discuss this with my darling

22nd of September, 1982 I've brought Cressman up to speed on events, set him to translating the script from the Torquerre castle. Wiggins-Hitchcock-Whatever is now his problem. We took a daytrip to...comforted him the first night he slept in his new home. For awhile, those two were inseparable. The least I can do for Adelaide to comfort her is make certain his line does not die with Shai'tan

2nd of September, 1982 I went to speak with Soong, who is the new Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. I knew my instincts were right. They've rarely failed me. It's been years since I've given...something that made me think of the Fae, a woman in a tree. He's been working some case on an assault against a Professor, related to Nerys Llewelyn. We may have a lead. There is much to be done

28th of August, 1982 Still no trace of Kuznetsov. No trace of Alec Lefayne. Adelaide wants to pursue the matter of the elder vampire; soon we'll be taking a daytrip to Rome to have a look about and speak...Research the Tuatha de Dannan. I'm left with the feeling that something far more sinister is at play here. Perhaps Soong will know more. I've yet to give him an update and scour his brain for information

21st of August, 1982 Olenka Kuznetsov... I couldn't keep that promise to Hedelbyrd's mother that I'd rescue the girl. Last night I found her body. She killed her. That girl died in immense pain. I can't...death, and he'd swallowed a signet ring covered with Manticore eggs. Three of his four colleagues are still missing, and the runic glyphs and that enchanted, ghostly image have yet to be translated

16th of August, 1982 Not only have I been nominated for Most Charming Smile, but there are now these odd, plastic action figure toys for children that have been made into Adelaide's, Drake's, Drake's...in a language that reminded me of Welsh but wasn't. It will take some time to interpret the message and the writing. In the meanwhile, we have to figure out exactly what happened to the victim
