A Wyrm-tainted medicine wheel is unearthed at an SCCU-sponsored archaelogical site, which all kinds of people suddenly want to lay hands on, including the Garou; the Jedis manage to steal it out from under everyone's noses. As part of the deal struck between Nicodemus and Andrea which resulted in the mages handing over the fetish to them, Dana is "required" to be present for whatever the Garou do to take care of it. Here, Dana witnesses the ritual run by Andrea with the rest of Ouroborous and Dawn's Fire in attendance, which concludes in two catastrophic events in Dana's mind: Consumer of Stone is freed, and Velia figures out the truth of what she is.
