	''Current protocol is to record blank-bodies of this type from a distance. If cornered by one, permission is granted to detonate a micro-bomb on the agentâ€™s person, as even the fast types do not show resistance to areas of fire or shrapnel.

	The ability to strike fast, dodge blows, and escape pursuers allows Kindred to become extremely effective predators. Celerity enables vampires to move faster than any natural creature, though it does more than grant a supernatural speed, with vampires employing it actually appearing to think almost as fast as they act. While some vampires use to slice and stab at enemies without fear of riposte, others simply use it to get from A to B faster than any other person on foot.
