Just an idea.

It does look like an Event, at least. The title could be written in the left
upper corner, with the Government mention above the text.The icon sure looks
like the inverted moon.

LSJ, 2 cards left before the Necro-Zombie-Pit... ;-)

I'm suspecting NSA Trio, but it's hard to be sure (and I'm not sure why
that would be an event - although if Port Authority can be an event, I
guess the NSA can be too...).

yep, the name is ther in the left, and is small enough to be the NSA
trio.... what would that be??? if my hollywoodian knowledges do not
fail me, NSA = National Security Agency, right?? so, they´re like,
MiB??? could be interesting, but i don´t see what they´d do (unless
they´re somehow another ally-boost like the unmasking. I can see that)

expanding on my own post, i guess it could be the "Not to Be" card as
well... both are short-named and rares... even so, i think the Trio is
more plausible. we´ll see tomorrow.

IIRC, in the RPG, the NSA at one point in the game had developed a
viewing device under which some people (vampires and maybe other
supernaturals) showed up a different color than normal people. Through
some wierd set of circumstances they came to believe that what they
were seeing was in fact some kind of extradimensional entity possessing
people and infiltrating the government. So they installed these devices
in metal detectors all around Washington, D.C.

I have no idea what that translates to in the card game, though. Now
I'm really excited.

Correct. Though, the joke about its level of secrecy
and deniability leads to the acronym No Such Agency.

If you go waaaaay back in White Wolf canon, you
can find three NSA agents in the Hunters Hunted book
(and referred to in the Project Twilight book). They
have knowledge of vampires and have undertaken
operations to destroy and manipulate vampires. Since
then, they've become compromised. One is a Sabbat
pawn, one is a Camarilla pawn, and the third is very
paranoid about the possibility that he or his fellow agents
could be manipulated by the Kindred. So, there's no
telling what the card itself will do.
