Q Laboratories Set up by Ventrue. Q Labs invests in technologies that were deemed inefficient by normal humans.
Services Q Labs produces exquisite equipment for the discerning Kindred. Their equipment comes with training on said equipment as using any Q labs equipment without the requisite specialty applies a 5-trait penalty. Q laboratory equipment cannot be given the Durable Tag, with one exception. <ref></ref> Instead, Q technicians and partners can repair a Broken Q lab weapon for a nominal fee. They are already expensive and perfect.
