Report No: GT/GB-171009-048250424
Location: Greeley, CO
Agents:
Summary:
Agents from Working Group MASTICATE continue to investigate Avalon Gardens, a marijuana cultivation and distribution business linked to anomalous activity following the violent and unnatural death of Radomir Reznik. Surveillance, forensic accounting, and sensory reconnaissance yield disturbing connections, suggesting potential widespread contamination or unnatural influence involving the local water supply.
Operation Report:
- The Agents reconvened in Greeley, Colorado, focusing their investigation on Avalon Gardens due to anomalies detected in cannabis products associated with the deceased Radomir Reznik.
- Surveillance operations commenced on Avalon Gardens’ cultivation and dispensary facility. A drone reconnaissance flight revealed detailed site infrastructure, including two armored Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs parked in a restricted area. The SUVs displayed signs of extensive security modifications.
- Financial investigations led by Agent Booth uncovered irregular payroll distributions, notably:
- Dakota Knight, listed as co-owner, withdrew a substantial salary ($240,000 annually), whereas co-owner Bill Knight withdrew nothing.
- Chief chemist Dr. Reza Hushain received a salary higher than Dakota Knight, at $315,000 annually.
- Security chief John Bellamy was compensated unusually high consulting fees exceeding one million dollars annually via his security firm, Instant Deterrent Solutions (IDS).
- IDS appears exclusively dedicated to Avalon Gardens, staffed by former military and law enforcement personnel. Surveillance confirmed armed and armored IDS guards onsite.
- Agent Drummond placed GPS tracking devices on vehicles belonging to Dakota Knight and John Bellamy. Analysis showed that both Knight and Bellamy remain onsite excessively, rarely departing the Avalon Gardens facility.
- Dakota Knight’s movements involved brief stays at his personal residence near Greeley, arriving late evening and departing as early as 4 a.m.
- Bellamy primarily visited dispensaries in northern Colorado, potentially overseeing direct product distribution.
- Sensory surveillance led by Agents McCarter and Parker resulted in critical findings:
- Agent McCarter confirmed a disturbing anomalous “meaty” odor emanating from Avalon Gardens’ cannabis cultivation facility.
- The odor was subsequently detected by Agent McCarter in local tap water at various locations around Greeley. However, further tests revealed Agent McCarter became unreliable, displaying agitation and erratic behavior, casting uncertainty on these sensory findings.
- Field handler Jay intervened to stabilize McCarter after repeated exposure aggravated his psychological state severely.
Analysis and Recommendations:
Avalon Gardens presents multiple anomalous and operational security threats. High compensation for security chief Bellamy indicates awareness and active defense measures against potential threats, possibly including federal or extranormal interference. Financial irregularities suggest unusual operational priorities, potentially diverting funds to undisclosed activities or entities.
The detection of the anomalous odor associated with unnatural effects (as evidenced by Reznik’s grotesque death) strongly implies that Avalon Gardens’ product may not be the origin but rather a vector. If McCarter’s sensory input is accurate, contamination or intentional adulteration of the municipal water supply would pose catastrophic public health and containment risks, potentially facilitating widespread unnatural influence.
Recommendations:
- Immediate covert water sampling and laboratory analysis by CDC contacts under pretense of routine public health checks.
- Psychiatric and medical monitoring of Agent McCarter to determine reliability and to mitigate potential instability under continued operational stress.
- In-depth surveillance and electronic infiltration of IDS communications to assess their operational scope and connection to Avalon Gardens beyond standard corporate security.
- Consider deploying further assets to perform infiltration of Avalon Gardens to directly ascertain product adulteration methods or possible unnatural involvement.
- Cross-reference Avalon Gardens’ cannabis strain genetics with previous operations (referencing Operation HARVEST MOON, 2014, involving anomalous biological agents with psychoactive effects).
- Review water-related contamination or distribution vectors previously encountered in Operations DELUGE and BLACK SPRING for procedural guidelines on contamination containment and civilian risk mitigation.
Session Notes
-
Session kickoff & banter
- Group starts recording with humorous burp “clapper” routine; jokes about repetition and inducing Stockholm syndrome in podcast listeners.
- Luke (Handler) confirms all players are on the web app and offers either a long or short recap after several weeks’ break. Players ask for a longer refresher.
-
Long in-game recap delivered by Luke
- Incident that triggered investigation
- Radomir Reznik died in Denver County Jail after guards mistreated him; his lungs and organs violently burst from his body, killing a dog.
- Prior to death he’d been coughing and complaining he could not breathe after smoking Avalon Gardens vape cartridges.
- Evidence gathered so far
- McCarter removed Reznik’s cartridges from evidence; both those and fresh cartridges from Denver Greens dispensary felt “wrong” to him (unnatural urge to destroy/eat).
- Lab analysis of Reznik’s cartridge showed 99 % THC despite added flavorings—chemically impossible under normal dilution.
- Avalon Gardens background
- Single-site grow and dispensary at Valley Dirtlands outside Greeley, CO.
- Founded by father/son Bill Knight (money; Knight Chevrolet owner, ~60 yrs) and Dakota Knight (runs operation).
- Focuses on ultra-high-potency processed products (oils, shatter); no flower.
- Additional lead — interviewee Susanna Carmichael confirmed Reznik robbed her of newly purchased Avalon Gardens cartridges at Denver Greens.
-
First on-site reconnaissance (drive-by)
- Agents drive past Valley Dirtlands site; see T-shaped warehouse: front dispensary façade, rear industrial grow/processing area.
- Layout (from Luke’s drawing):
- Customer parking in front of dispensary.
- Employee parking with loading ramp on side.
- Fenced “restricted” lot at rear with vehicle-sized gate; access lane connects customer lot to rear.
- Nearby dirt road leads downhill to Valley Dirtlands Motocross complex.
- Luke clarifies site is surveillable with rotations/vehicle changes though simple lot-sitting will get noticed.
-
Initial planning discussion
- Ideas floated: sophisticated stake-out, catfishing, drones, using motocross area as cover, feigning drone-pilot practice.
- McCarter jokes about crashing drone into restricted lot to retrieve it.
- Group confirms weed and pungent odor can be smelled driving by.
-
Buying a surveillance drone
- Visit local electronics/hobby store; decent camera drone costs >$1 000 (unusual expense).
- Group opts to “split” cost; Matthew (McCarter) rolls INT×5 critical success, covering expense without bond loss; Franklin (Booth) complains about prior weed outlay.
- Pack drone into SUV, change from suits to casual “full dad” attire.
-
Drone over-flight results
- From altitude observe:
- Rear fenced lot contains two dark Chevy Tahoes; appear customized with ballistic glass.
- Sliding garage door chained; personnel door also present.
- Luxury SUV (large, upscale model) parked closest to dispensary entrance in employee lot—likely Dakota Knight’s.
- Jeep Trailhawk (off-road, high-end) also in employee lot.
- ~15 employee cars and a handful of customer vehicles once business hours start.
- No skylights; rear industrial portion windowless (indoor hydroponics assumed).
-
Luke supplies “Investigative Approaches” document (players summarize orally)
- Low-risk: open-source intel, tax records, CO Marijuana Enforcement Division filings.
- Medium-risk: onsite stake-out, employee informants, burner-phone hacks.
- High-risk: burglary of homes, kidnapping Bill/Dakota Knight.
- Discussion of time pressure vs thoroughness; reference teenage driver Brady Tavish March psychotic episode after heavy Avalon product use.
-
Discovery that McCarter detects “meaty” smell
- Cole asks McCarter to describe odor; McCarter likens it to greasy seafood linguine.
- Cole (who smelled it) makes SAN (helplessness) check—succeeds, rationalizes slaughterhouse odors.
-
Task division
- Booth (Frank) & Drummond (Graham)
- Gather extensive IRS/tax records for Avalon Gardens, Bill Knight, Dakota Knight, and all listed employees.
- Plan accounting/bureaucracy deep dive.
- Obtain consumer GPS trackers; Drummond (Stealth 53, Disguise 40) attaches units to luxury SUV (Dakota) and Jeep Trailhawk (Bellamy) after entering employee lot in disguise, reporting actions via earpiece with sexual innuendos to Booth.
- Parker (Cole) & McCarter (Matthew) with DG minder Jay
- Conduct tap-water “sniff test” survey across Greeley region; include blind bottled-water controls.
- Visit Greeley water treatment plant parking lot (tour canceled once odor detected).
- McCarter repeatedly smells same “meaty weed” scent from taps; bottled water indistinguishable to him → possible sensory contamination.
- Jay sedates overstressed McCarter (willpower reduced to low) and warns Cole McCarter may get “nose-blind.”
-
Tax & financial findings (Booth’s analysis)
- Avalon Gardens ownership split 50 / 50 between Bill & Dakota Knight.
- Dakota withdrew $240 k salary last FY.
- Bill withdrew $0 from dispensary but draws normal salary from Knight Chevrolet.
- Dr. Reza Hushain (Head Chemist) salary $315 k—higher than Dakota.
- John Bellamy (Chief of Security) standard salary modest, plus $1 M “consulting” payment last year.
- Company pays millions in federal tax—inefficient structure; profits high yet poor tax minimization.
- Current banking: Cimarron Credit Union routing on tax filings.
- Loans from startup phase already repaid.
-
Instant Deterrent Security (IDS) profile
- Founded 2010 by John Bellamy; originally Bellamy + 1 partner (partner since departed).
- Claims 10-person staff, ex-military/law-enforcement backgrounds.
- Avalon Gardens appears to be sole client; annual payment aligns with $1 M consulting fee.
- On-site guards wear IDS vests, armored, armed with handguns and body armor.
-
Bellamy & Dakota Knight vehicle tracking results
- Trailhawk (Bellamy)
- Stays on site most nights.
- Single daytime run north to multiple dispensaries; returns within hours.
- Luxury SUV (Dakota Knight)
- Leaves late evening once during surveillance; overnight at residence south of Greeley (matches tax-record home address); departs residence ~4 a.m., back to site before business hours.
- Both rarely leave facility otherwise.
-
Additional Bellamy personal background (open-source)
- Age 41; former U.S. Marine, wounded in Fallujah, honorably discharged 2005.
- Divorced 2009 (ex-wife Lindsay); children Max & Samantha (custody retained).
- Lives in modest Greeley apartment complex since 2010; no social-media presence.
-
Water-supply concerns intensify
- McCarter insists odor present in municipal water; Cole notes McCarter cannot differentiate bottled vs tap, suggesting hallucination or contamination of senses.
- Jay advises possible “nose-blindness” effect when McCarter overstressed.
-
Session close
- Team reconvenes to share findings: financial irregularities, IDS militarization, vehicle movement patterns, uncertain water contamination.
- Plan to decide next moves (timeline pressure vs deeper intel) in following session.
- Game ends with lighthearted out-of-character discussion of past events, Delta Green risks, and next week’s meeting.
