Location: Sykesville, MD
Agents:
Summary:
A-Cell tasked D-Cell with executing all adult staff at the Cornucopia House children’s residential facility in Zion, Maryland. Agent Duncan briefed the newly recruited agents on the mission details and provided a disturbing dossier of evidence to convince them of the necessity of the operation. Despite initial hesitation, the agents agreed to participate after reviewing the unsettling contents of the dossier. The team began planning their approach, focusing on acquiring untraceable firearms, communication equipment, and other necessary supplies. During the planning phase, an unusual incident occurred involving Drummond being bitten by a rat.
Operation Report:
- Agent Clove of C-Cell tasked Agent Duncan with leading the newly formed D-Cell in an operation to eliminate all adult staff at Cornucopia House, a children’s residential facility in Zion, Maryland.
- Agent Duncan briefed Drummond, McCarter, and Monroe on the mission details during a meeting at a Holiday Inn Express, under the guise of discussing domestic violence.
- Agent Duncan provided the team with a dossier containing disturbing Polaroid photographs as evidence to justify the extrajudicial killings. The contents of the dossier, contained within a child’s damaged Hello Kitty folder bearing traces of gasoline, oil, and blood, deeply unsettled the agents.
- Despite initial reluctance, particularly from McCarter, the team agreed to participate in the operation after reviewing the dossier.
- During a break in the meeting, Drummond was attacked and bitten by a rat in the bathroom. He killed the rat and informed the team of the incident, expressing concern about potential rabies exposure.
- The team began planning their approach to the operation, studying satellite imagery and maps of the target location to identify entry points and building clearance strategies.
- Drummond and Monroe were tasked with procuring untraceable firearms from nearby gun shows, while Agent Duncan and McCarter focused on acquiring communication equipment and other supplies.
- The team discussed the importance of preventing the targets from speaking to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous supernatural whispers or voices.
- Agent Duncan provided approximately $1,000 in cash from his go-bag to fund the firearms purchases, with Drummond and Monroe agreeing to withdraw additional cash from ATMs.
- The team acknowledged the risks and legal issues associated with acquiring untraceable firearms but determined it was necessary for the success of the operation.
Analysis and Recommendations:
- The assembly of D-Cell and their willingness to engage in extreme measures following exposure to the dossier contents suggests the severity of the threat posed by the targets at Cornucopia House. The disturbing nature of the evidence, coupled with the child’s folder in which it was contained, raises questions about the extent and duration of the alleged activities at the facility. Further investigation into the background and history of Cornucopia House is recommended to determine potential connections to other ongoing investigations.
- The unusual rat attack on Drummond during the planning meeting warrants closer examination. While the incident may be purely coincidental, the timing and location suggest a possible link to the operation. Monitoring Drummond’s health in the coming days is advised, as well as investigating any potential symbolism or occult significance associated with rats in the context of the mission.
- The team’s decision to acquire untraceable firearms through unofficial channels carries inherent risks. While necessary for operational security, the potential for exposure or legal consequences cannot be ignored. It is recommended that A-Cell monitor the team’s procurement activities and provide support or intervention if required.
- As D-Cell proceeds with Operation CORNUCOPIA, it is crucial to maintain close communication and oversight to ensure the mission objectives are met while minimizing risks to the agents and the organization. The psychological impact of the operation on the newly formed team should also be closely monitored, as the nature of the evidence and the required actions may have lasting effects on their mental well-being.
- Cross-referencing the individuals associated with Cornucopia House with other ongoing investigations, particularly those involving child endangerment or occult activities, may yield valuable insights and potential connections to a larger network of threats. A-Cell should prioritize the sharing of relevant information across cells and with trusted external partners to maximize the effectiveness of counter-operations.
Session Notes
- The session begins with the GM recapping the previous events of the Delta Green campaign. The players’ characters - David Cortez, Graham Miles Drummond, Matthew McCarter, PhD, and Steel Monroe - have been assembled by Agent Clove of Delta Green’s C-Cell.
- Clove has briefed David Cortez on a mission to eliminate all the adults at a children’s residential facility called Cornucopia House in rural Maryland. She has provided him with a folder of “evidence” to convince the other agents to participate.
- When the session starts, the agents are gathered in a conference room at a Holiday Inn Express, ostensibly discussing domestic violence but really there to learn about Delta Green’s mission against supernatural threats.
- David Cortez lays out the details of the mission - to quickly and efficiently kill all the adults at Cornucopia House and then contact Clove. He emphasizes that the agents’ identities must be hidden.
- The other agents, especially McCarter, express hesitation and discomfort with the plan to carry out extrajudicial killings. McCarter questions whether the FBI would be better equipped to handle this situation.
- Cortez insists that the agents look at the contents of the pink Hello Kitty folder, warning that “the things you’ll see in here, you can’t unsee.”
- Steel Monroe takes the folder and begins looking through the disturbing Polaroid photographs inside. His face contorts with terror and disgust as he reacts to the contents.
- McCarter also looks through the folder, and both he and Steel have intense physical and emotional reactions to what they see.
- After processing the contents of the folder, Steel closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and declares “I’m in,” indicating he is now convinced to participate in the mission.
- The group is discussing the contents of a mysterious folder that Steel Monroe examined, which caused a profound change in his and the other agents’ demeanors.
- Steel describes the folder as belonging to a child, damaged, with smells of gasoline and oil, and what appears to be blood spray on the back.
- The other agents, David Cortez and Matthew McCarter, are also disturbed by the contents, with McCarter pounding his fist on the table and saying “Fuck” before resolving to move forward.
- Drummond steps away to the bathroom, seemingly to collect himself and decide how to proceed. The other three agents discuss the situation, with Cortez admitting he lost several hours of memory after viewing the folder’s contents.
- In the bathroom, Drummond is suddenly attacked by a rat that bites his leg. He kills the rat and returns to the group, showing them the dead animal and his injured leg.
- The other agents are taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, with Cortez appearing genuinely unsure of how to respond to Drummond’s rat attack.
- There is a sense of unease and uncertainty among the group as they try to make sense of the disturbing folder contents and Drummond’s bizarre encounter in the bathroom.
- Graham Miles Drummond is describing his appearance, stating he is wearing a well-tailored outfit and a Speedo due to his European heritage.
- Drummond brings up a dead rat in the middle of the table, which he finds bizarre. He says he has never seen two people (referring to McCarter and the other academic) react so drastically to a case file before.
- Drummond was attacked by the rat and got bitten. He is unsure if the rat was rabid. He jokes about throwing the rat in someone’s face, but decides against it.
- Drummond is concerned about the rat bite and wants the others to know about it, citing a belief in full transparency. He says he will need to get a rabies shot.
- The group discusses the strange situation and Drummond’s reaction to it. They acknowledge it is a weird and unsettling occurrence.
- Drummond suggests they should procure earmuffs or other sound-blocking equipment to prevent the targets from speaking, as they have been instructed not to let the targets speak.
- The group examines the satellite imagery and maps provided, identifying potential entry points and routes to the target location, which is a remote rural area.
- They discuss the logistics of clearing the various buildings on the property, with Drummond suggesting they start with the main house.
- Drummond considers checking his military science knowledge to inform their tactical approach, but realizes his military experience is limited as he was likely only a low-ranking officer.
- The group continues to strategize how best to approach and execute their mission, with Drummond providing input based on his limited military background.
- Graham Drummond volunteers to handle procuring firearms and other necessary equipment for the group’s upcoming operation. He suggests looking into nearby gun shows, potentially in Virginia or Pennsylvania, as a way to acquire untraceable weapons.
- The group discusses the logistics of Steel Monroe examining the rat bite on David Cortez’s hand. Monroe recommends getting it checked out at an urgent care clinic, as a precaution against potential rabies, even though rats are very rarely carriers of the disease.
- Cortez is hesitant to go to the hospital, as it could distract from their immediate plans. The group debates the necessity of getting the bite checked, with Monroe ultimately advising that it’s likely not a serious issue and just needs basic first aid treatment.
- The group discusses strategies for acquiring firearms discreetly, including looking for gun shows, finding private sellers, and avoiding anything that could be traced back to them. They acknowledge the risks and legal issues involved.
- Drummond volunteers to handle the research and procurement of the necessary weapons and equipment, while the others focus on other preparations.
- The group determines the location of the operation is in Zion, Maryland, near a golf course. They discuss logistics like transportation and disposing of any bodies.
- There is a discussion about the potential dangers of hearing supernatural whispers or voices, with the group deciding it’s best to eliminate any threats quickly and quietly to avoid such risks.
- The group is in an ambulance outside the location they were just at. Mark appears to be falling asleep.
- Steel and Drummond discuss plans to go to the Rose Reveal annual gun show over the weekend to purchase firearms. They want to get the guns as soon as possible, ideally that night or the next, to help with the mission.
- Steel plans to take Monroe with him to the gun show, while leaving Cortez and McCarter to handle other tasks.
- The group discusses whether they have cell phones, with Drummond likely having a CIA-issued phone in addition to a personal one. It’s unclear if the others have cell phones, though pagers were still common in 2001.
- Cortez has a go-bag with around $1,000 in cash that can be used towards purchasing firearms at the gun show. Drummond and Monroe also agree to withdraw additional cash from ATMs to contribute to the firearms budget.
- The group discusses the logistics of purchasing firearms at the gun show, noting there will be paperwork and identification requirements. They hope to find a seller willing to sell without much paperwork.
- Cortez asks if the organization (Delta Green) will reimburse them for the firearms expenses, but is told the mission comes first and they shouldn’t keep receipts.
- While Steel and Drummond go to the gun show, Cortez and McCarter plan to handle other tasks like getting communication equipment and supplies.
- The session ends with the group now fully engaged in carrying out their mission, though there is some humor around the potential for things to go wrong.
- The conversation continues, with one person asking another how long they have been at a particular place, to which the response is that it has been around 5 years.
- There is a brief exchange about a “bondage one”, though the context is unclear from the provided transcript.
- The tone of the conversation seems casual and conversational, with the participants responding to each other’s statements.
