Report No: GT/CO-010203-003240314

Location: Baltimore-Washington Corridor

Agents:

• Cortez (Duncan)
• Drummond (recruit)
• McCarter (recruit)
• Monroe (recruit)

Summary:

D-Cell agents, led by Agent Duncan, began planning an operation to eliminate the adult staff at Cornucopia House after reviewing disturbing evidence suggesting ritualistic and supernatural activities. The agents acquired firearms, communications equipment, and a stolen vehicle in preparation for the mission.

Operation Report:

• Drummond and Monroe acquired firearms, including four 12-gauge shotguns and two light rifles, at a gun show in Rosaryville. They took precautions to avoid creating a direct connection between their purchases.
• Monroe encountered a suspicious vendor selling exotic meats and accidentally stabbed his thumb on what appeared to be a fang or tooth embedded in a piece of jerky.
• Agent Duncan and McCarter acquired electronics components which Agent Duncan later used to create communication equipment and night vision goggles.
• When returning home, McCarter observed a large flock of crows circling and dancing around an object in a field near his house, which turned out to be a dead possum.
• The crows attacked McCarter, with one striking him in the forehead and causing a minor injury. The encounter unsettled McCarter.
• The team stole a 1998 Kia Sportage in Baltimore, with Monroe hotwiring the vehicle and Agent Duncan disabling the aftermarket alarm system.
• While driving towards their destination, Agent Duncan re-examined the disturbing photographs, using his expertise to determine the likely location where the photos were taken, just north of Cornucopia House.
• The team scouted the area around Cornucopia House, identifying a field to the northeast as a potential discreet parking spot for their approach on foot.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The psychological impact of the evidence on Agent Duncan and the unsettling crow encounter experienced by McCarter should be monitored closely, as these events may affect their judgment and performance during the operation. Consideration should be given to providing additional support or counseling if necessary.
• The anomalous behavior of the crows and their apparent attack on McCarter may be an omen related to the supernatural activities at Cornucopia House. Further research into the symbolism and occult significance of crows should be conducted to better understand this incident and its potential implications for this and other ongoing missions.
• The suspicious vendor encountered by Monroe warrants further investigation. The exotic meats, particularly the alleged lion jerky containing a fang or tooth, may be connected to other ongoing investigations into anomalous wildlife trade and cryptozoological phenomena.
• The team’s acquisition of firearms and a stolen vehicle, while necessary for the operation, poses significant legal risks. A-Cell should prepare contingency plans to mitigate the impact of any potential legal entanglements to reduce exposure risk.
• The disturbing nature of the photographs and the implied involvement of children in the ritualistic activities at Cornucopia House suggest a potential link to the ongoing “Night Lights” investigation. Cross-referencing the evidence with files from that case may provide additional insights or connections.

Session Notes

• Steel and Matthew examined the contents of a folder, which contained disturbing information that made them enthusiastically support a mission to kill the adult staff at Cornucopia House.
• The CIA case officer was nervous and did not fully understand what was happening, but was willing to go along with the mission even without understanding the unnatural elements involved.
• The case officer was also bitten by a rat in the bathroom.
• The group discussed plans for executing the mission, including:
  • Acquiring untraceable firearms at the Rosaryville gun show
  • Obtaining an untraceable vehicle
  • Acquiring communications and night vision equipment
  • Splitting into two teams to carry out these tasks
• David Cortez was feeling mixed up and slightly drunk after viewing the disturbing folder contents. He was concerned about operational security (OPSEC) and recommended getting burner phones to avoid leaving a trail.
• David was also worried about his wife being upset that he had been out all night without contacting her, as this had happened before. However, his wife also works in a government “seeker project”, so she may understand the need for compartmentalization.
• David lost 1 Sanity point due to the stressful situation, but accepted that he needs to focus on the mission at hand.
• The group decided on the plan to split up, with Graham Drummond and Steel Monroe going to the gun show, while David Cortez and Matthew McCarter obtained other necessary equipment.
• David took a USB drive/flash drive that was left behind, even though it likely had limited storage capacity for the time period.
• The group discussed whose personal vehicles they would use, with David and Graham likely taking their own cars, while considering using an ambulance to take advantage of the siren.
• There was some joking about Agent Steel potentially trying to steal the group’s equipment or interfere with their plans.
• David Cortez and Matthew McCarter go shopping for equipment needed for their upcoming operation, including:
  • Burner phones - to avoid leaving a trail
  • Two-way radios with earpieces - for communication during the operation
  • Civilian night vision goggles - McCarter plans to build his own set using cheaper components to save money
  • Other gear like balaclavas and gloves
• McCarter is nervous about the criminal nature of their plans, but also feels a drive to stop the evil they’ve witnessed
• On the way home, McCarter notices a group of crows circling something in the field behind his house, which gives him pause as he enters his quiet home
• The group notices a large flock of crows circling and dancing around something in a field near the character’s home. The character decides to investigate, calling out to their spouse but receiving no response.
• As the character approaches the crows, they see the birds are circling around a dead possum. The crows then suddenly attack the character, with one striking them in the forehead and causing a minor injury. The character loses 1 point of Sanity from the unsettling encounter.
• After the crows fly away, the character finds a forgotten post-it note reminding them of a children’s birthday party they had forgotten about that day.
• The scene then shifts to Graham and Steel, who are heading to a gun show in Rosaryville, a suburb outside of DC. They plan to purchase firearms without proper paperwork or background checks.
• At the gun show, they observe a vendor who is negligent about checking paperwork, making him a potential target for their illegal purchase. However, they note there is a CCTV system in place that could potentially link them to the firearms.
• Graham and Steel discuss splitting up to handle different purchases separately, in order to avoid creating a direct connection between them. They decide one will purchase the firearms while the other gets other supplies like night vision goggles.
• The group had previously discussed David handling the electronics portion of their plans, but it’s unclear if that is still the plan.
• The group discusses purchasing firearms at a gun show. They determine they have $2,000 to spend, which they estimate will cover two standard firearms purchases.
• They decide to purchase four 12-gauge pump-action shotguns, such as the Maverick 88 or Mossberg 88, for around $200 each. This constitutes one standard purchase.
• They also decide to purchase two light rifles, such as a 30-30 Winchester, for another standard purchase.
• While Steel is waiting for Graham to finish his purchases, he is approached by a strange, emaciated older man at a booth selling exotic meats. The man, who does not give his name but is referred to as “Frank”, tries to get Steel to try some of his jerky, including a piece he claims is lion.
• When Steel reaches into his pocket to get the jerky, he accidentally stabs his thumb on what appears to be a fang or tooth embedded in the jerky. This raises Steel’s suspicions about the legitimacy of the meat.
• After acquiring the firearms, the group discusses how to transport them discreetly, considering options like covering license plates or using a police scanner to avoid detection.
• Graham mentions having had a previous experience of flipping his license plate to avoid detection, though he acknowledges the legal risks of such actions.
• The group decides to meet up at a parking garage in the early evening to consolidate their purchases before heading to their next destination.
• The group discusses stealing a car, with Steel Monroe revealing he has the skills to hotwire a vehicle. Graham suggests they find a suitable car to steal in Baltimore.
• Steel approaches a seemingly abandoned car, finding it unlocked but with an aftermarket alarm system installed. He reports this back to the group.
• David, the electronics expert, offers to try disabling the alarm system. He is able to successfully disable the alarm by tracing and disconnecting the wires.
• With the alarm disabled, Steel is then able to start the car by hotwiring the ignition. The group decides to drive the stolen car a few blocks away to meet up, rather than drawing attention by driving it directly from the scene.
• The group ends up with a 1998 Kia Sportage, a smaller four-door SUV, which they drive out of Baltimore and towards their destination, with the others critiquing Steel’s driving along the way.
• As they drive, the group discusses their plan to approach the farm they are targeting from the west through the surrounding forest, rather than taking the main road, in order to avoid being seen.
• The group discusses their plan of action moving forward. Matthew remembers his military training from playing video games, not actual military experience.
• David plans to re-examine the folder of disturbing Polaroid photos found earlier, despite the toll it takes on his sanity. The group decides someone should sit with him in the back seat to monitor him.
• When David opens the folder, the photos depict horrific scenes of men, women, children, and inhuman creatures engaged in violent and sexual acts. The photos seem to have been taken at night in a wooded area near a farm called Cornucopia House.
• Matthew, with his expertise in computer science and satellite imagery, is able to determine the photos were likely taken in the wooded area north of Cornucopia House, just inside the tree line. This suggests the group should avoid approaching from the north.
• The group discusses the ritualistic and supernatural elements implied by the photos, including the use of electric lighting and the presence of inhuman, monstrous entities. They speculate on the origins and purpose of the photos.
• As the group prepares to approach the area, they decide to do a lap around the property to scout the layout and look for potential entry points, with everyone making an alertness check. They identify a field to the northeast as a potential discreet parking spot to approach on foot.
• The group continues to discuss their plan of action, with Matthew suggesting more surveillance before proceeding, but the group seems eager to take action.
• The group discusses finding what may be a lion tooth or possibly a dog tooth, with some speculation that it could be from a Chihuahua.
• There is a discussion about “dog jerky” and whether a hypothetical “Chihuahua” brand of dog treats would be made from actual Chihuahuas, which the group finds concerning.
• One player, Robert, is mentioned as having heard an earlier version of the story that the group is discussing, and there is some comparison between the current version and Robert’s original.
• The group notes that the “crows thing” does not seem to be present in the current version, though one player is unsure if it was in the original.
• Towards the end, one player indicates they will be leaving soon.
