Dragon-bike might be cool, but how about Dragon-cloak? Or Dragon-coat?

We could take inspiration from Michael's cloak and/or Harry's coat. A Dragonhide and scale coat or cloak that serves as armor and can turn into a pair of wings for flight purposes would be neat, assuming that's even possible via Crafting.

Dont need that for flight.

Buy Mind-Hand Manipulation, roll Int 4 + Occult 5 against difficulty 6, and at 3 successes or more, we can fly at normal movement speed. Add Windborn Stride and our speed triples at base, or goes up by x10 if we spend 1 Essence. Or wait for when we go up in Essence, buy Rage Recast again, and take Flight as our next Demonic Aspect instead of Swift Stride.

Dragon whatever reagents, if ethical, are too scarce and valuable to use on stuff that we can do with internal magic.

I expect we'd be able to make a 3 Dot Prodigy of Siriothrax's stuff since we didn't kill him and take his essence personally.
Three-dot Prodigies include most useful combat enchantments, movement enhancements,
illusions, and limited-scope mind control. This is the realm of utility enchantments that give you
a significant advantage over people who aren't aware that you possess the Prodigy, such as
invisibility cloaks or boots that let you walk up walls.

Here's an Example of something consistently usable that doesn't drain magic from the world or something.
Skeleton Keys (•••)
This jangling ring of keys will fit into and open any traditional lock, although they still can't
bypass non-standard locks like maglocks or combination dials. They only operate for the Exalt
who has attuned to them; anyone else will find they refuse to fit or turn.

Assuming thats possible, and has a beneficial effect, which are both big assumptions?
Nodes are located in normal reality, where ordinary people live and wield influence.

What precisely are you going to do when someone spends enough bribes to have the entire site condemned by the local government, and some company is given the contract to clean the place up and deliver the waste for disposal to someone else, who has ambitions for dragon remains? Or even just attacks the place at night with a serious force to dig them up?

There are at least two Great Dragons still walking the Earth who might have Opinions about the disposition of Siriothrax's remains.
As well as many more people who care about what we're doing with the remains of a former pillar of Earth's cosmology.
Serious people, with serious power, from the White Council to the Sidhe Courts to the Denarians to Nemesis.

Dont make it easy for them to just walk in and loot it. Dresden hides Bob's skull for a reason.

I dont think anyone cares what happens to the bodies of most Red and Black Court vampires.
Technically they are just possessing the bodies of people they already murdered. The Lords of Outer Night might have particular mystical significance, but noone's gonna care what you do with the average Red or Black.

Siriothrax however was an actual Big Deal cosmologically. A lot of people care what happens to his remains, and will try to snatch it up for their own reasons, and for good reason. Look at what Dresden did with Sue during the Darkhallow, or what Nicky was trying to do with the Shroud of Turin (not even the real one, just an imitation).

In the Dresdenverse, Siriothrax's remains arguably qualifies for multiple Artifact 5/NA effects.
In Exalted terms, it would be like trying to forge a 2CD into an artifact. Or forging one out of a greater elemental dragon equivalent; not quite the Kukla, but one of the weaker ones, like Oberashti, Shogun of Genocide.

Dunno what the equivalent would be in WoD. Maybe an Antediluvian.

Sure. We aren't making artifacts though. As far as I know we're using the crafting system here: https://files.catbox.moe/eqro35.pdf

Awakening the Prodigy: The final step is to infuse the Prodigy with the power necessary to
catalyze its latent enchantments. This is generally the most demanding element of Prodigy-
making; luckily, a correctly-crafted and -enchanted Prodigy can sit idle in an Exalt's workshop
while she makes her preparations for the next step for an effectively unlimited period of time. So
long as the vessel suffers no structural damage, it remains ready.

To awaken a Prodigy, the Exalt must enact a ritual lasting (Prodigy's rating) hours, during which
she infuses it with her divine Essence. (Prodigy's Rating x 5) Essence must be spent to properly
catalyze vessel and enchantments.

While one-dot Prodigies can be awakened anywhere, Prodigies rated two dots and above must be
awakened within a Dragon Nest.

One and two-dot Prodigies can be awakened with nothing more than this infusion of Exalted
power, but stronger Prodigies require additional reagents. They must be tinged with the power of
the modern nights, the power of the world-that-is to ground the power of the world-that-was.

In game terms, this means that some emblem of substantial supernatural power must be
consumed in the course of awakening a three dot-Prodigy. Examples include the blood of an
elder vampire, magic mushrooms plucked from the center of an extremely powerful Dragon Nest
not controlled by the Chosen (in Mage lingo, tass from a 4 or 5-point Node), a minor faerie
treasure or sorcerous Wonder, or the offering of a spirit or ghost captured in an Essence Vessel
(see below).

Four-dot Prodigies require the spirit and supernatural Essence of a potent monster to catalyze
them: an elder vampire, a legendary werewolf, an ancient ghost, a master magician, a very
powerful spirit, or the like. The monster in question should resonate with the enchantments and
character of the Prodigy. Capturing their Essence requires the use of an Essence Vessel.

Five-dot Prodigies carry the same requirements as four-dot Prodigies, but demand even more
rare and potent sacrifices: Methuselah or Antediluvian vampires, Incarna-level spirits,
archmages, Malfeans, and the like. Again, an Essence Vessel is required.

By those rules, Siriothrax is easily this:

Though by the rules in that PDF, Siriothrax could just as easily be used to make a 5 dot raksha artifact Splendor or a 5 dot Arcana.

Basically, the remains of one of less than a dozen Great Dragons has the sort of mystical weight you expect from mining serious shit. Though, depending on QM, I expect Molly will default to mining her personal hell for reagents if she needs them.

I'm focusing on the Essence Vessel requirement. The fact we did not kill Siriothrax and take his essence at the moment of death means we can't make a 5 dot prodigy with his stuff.

Edit: I came up with an approach for sharing more details about the day

I can get behind making ourselves a cute pet spirit dragon from the residual draconic essence in Siriothrax's bones.
 
honestly if we get good enough the death curse on their stuff probably would just be useful for making turbo cursed weaponry of some kind.
 
I know it would be a frivolous waste of invaluable materials and suboptimal mechanically, but I have this image in my head of Molly walking around with a parasol, a parasol made from Dragon parts. Bones, scales, and hide, all coming together to make something that wouldn't be out of place on the cover of a Power Metal album.

Then, using a flight Charm alongside her Dragon Parasol, she could fly around Chicago like Goth Mary Poppins.

Bonus points if the parasol includes a built-in defensive circle that can be engaged when it's fully extended.
 
Does anyone have any better tactics for secretly continuing our account of the day than Bleach Fanfiction with an emphasis on how Anime is more dangerous in real life because Snipers no plot armor etc?
