	During the course of the battle in Bangladesh, the innate ''Chimestry'' possessed by Ravnos vampires grew gradually stronger, but at the Final Death of their sire Ravnos everywhere were infected by its madness, anger, and fear.

	For four days and nights, the Ravnos attacked and fed on each other in a frenzy. When the dust cleared, barely a hundred Ravnos worldwide had survived. The Clan as it was, effectively ceased to exist.		For four days and nights, the Ravnos attacked and fed on each other in a frenzy.

	As the Technocracy's forces on the ground battled their way through the supernaturally-wrought tempest, beyond the atmosphere the mages mobilized its big guns and moved them into position: four massive orbital mirrors, just the thing needed when you've got godlike vampires on the rampage. Due to the storm however, they were unable to bring the might of the mirrors to bear, so the Technocracy implemented Plan B.

Due to the storm however, they were unable to bring the might of the mirrors to bear, so the Technocracy implemented Plan B.

	From three other orbital satellites, missile racks released their deadly payload: "neutron bombs", nuclear weaponry that affected the ~~physical~~ world as well as the ~~spiritual~~. Their effect on the battlefield was as immediate as it was deadly: not only did the nukes kill off all the unlucky mortals still in the combat area, but the supernaturals as well. Kuei-jin, Garou, Wraith, Fae... Almost all vanished in nuclear fire.

	The cost of life that came in the wake of the Week of Nightmares was tremendous. A total of 1.3 million people lost their lives, with many of those due to vampires or other supernatural causes, while about 115,~~6000~~ perished because of the flooding brought about by the summoned typhoon. Lastly about 60,800 people died from the spirit nukes, either because of the explosion or the radiation that followed.

	However all the supernatural entities in the radius of the blasts were slaughtered, including a possibly world-ending threat, so the Technocracy considered the mission a roaring success. Covering up the aftermath would be difficult, but not impossible, and in less than a month few people in the world gave much thought to what happened during that odd week in July 1999.		However all the supernatural entities in the radius of the blasts were slaughtered, including a possibly world-ending threat, so the Technocracy considered the mission a roaring success, and started investing in stopping vampires altogether.

	In India, the long simmering cold war between the forces of Clan Ravnos and the [[Kindred of the East\|Kuei-Jin]] of the ''Infinite Thunders Court'' entered a new phase. Unable to battle the Eastern vampires with quality, the Ravnos decided to make do with quantity instead, and mass-Embraced mortals to create Thin-Blood (and as such ultimately expendable) shock troops to throw at their enemies.		In India, the long simmering cold war between the forces of Clan Ravnos and the [[Kindred of the East\|Kuei-Jin]] of the ''Infinite Thunders Court'' entered a new phase. Unable to battle the Eastern vampires with quality, the Ravnos decided to make do with quantity instead, and mass-Embraced mortals to create Thin-Blood (and as such ultimately expendable) shock troops to throw at their enemies.

	As anyone knows what happens when a vampire dies (psychic backlash up the clan tree per death), this turned out to be a ''very'' bad idea. High generation vampires aren't robust to begin with, and Thin Bloods more so. As neonate after neonate suffered Final Death at the hands of the Kuei-Jin, the sheer amount of Vitae spilt in the five years of the conflict eventually caused several Ravnos ~~Methuselahs~~ to awaken from their torpor in India.

	After sating themselves on the blood of their descendants, these powerful elders turned their attention on the clan's Cathayan enemies. Soon, the war began to turn in the Ravnos' favor.

	Back in India '''Zapathasura''', Father of the Ravnos, was ''thirsty'' after a ten-millennia long nap. Sensing all of the extant Methuselah in the region, the Antediluvian would not refuse such a tasty banquet. The entire Kindred population of Kolkatta was annihilated in an evening, while untold death and destruction occured as the Ancient tore its way through the Subcontinent hunting down its descendants.
