Report No: GT/GB-171018-050250508

Location: Greeley, CO

Agents:

Summary: D-Cell continued Operation MASTICATE, focusing on Avalon Gardens personnel and infrastructure. Primary objectives this session were intelligence extraction and preparation for possible liquidation of the threat. Agents infiltrated Dr. Reza Hussain’s residence, secured documentary evidence of internal operations, obtained electronic credentials, and conducted a face-to-face interview that confirmed the presence of an unnatural cannabis strain (“Yerba Alcubo” / Y3) and significant stockpiled cash on-site. No hostility encountered from targets; minor intra-team instability observed.

Operation Report:

14 Oct–17 Oct (inter-session) – Agents maintained rolling surveillance on Avalon Gardens executive homes and facility; compiled movement patterns for Dakota Knight (CEO), John Bellamy (Security Chief), and Dr. Reza Hussain (Chief Chemist).
17 Oct 2300 – GPS trackers installed on Hussain family vehicles without incident.
18 Oct 1530–1640 – Exploited routine absence of Hussain’s wife and daughter; Drummond, Booth, and Parker entered residence using hidden key and disabled alarm.
- Premises searched: no contraband or company records on-site; confirmed absence of vaping paraphernalia.
- One decorative vase accidentally destroyed; fragments removed to mask entry.
18 Oct 1700 – Agents confronted Hussain at residence under DEA cover:
- Subject expressed fear of Knight, described prior violent outbursts (e.g., hurling 50 kg autoclave; punching through metal siding).
- Provided 32 GB USB drive containing lab notebooks, chromatographic data, and internal correspondence.
- Surrendered Level-3 security card (access: grow bay, processing lab, administrative offices).
- Disclosed:
  - Avalon Gardens’ commercial product derived from proprietary strain “Yerba Alcubo” (Y3), itself third-generation from “Yerba Loco” acquired from Genetic Agricultural Products (GAP).
  - Anomalous botanic morphology: insectoid appendages protruding from trichomes; accelerated growth; extreme psychoactivity.
  - Three segregated Level-4 grow houses accessible solely by Dakota Knight; believed source of “employee appreciation” cartridges.
  - Recent withdrawal of ≈ USD 25 million from company accounts, now held as palletised cash inside facility vault (Level-4).
  - Internal security: ~10 IDS contractors; two–three armed personnel on-site nightly; full complement escorts weekly cash/ product convoys. Bellamy routinely assumes overnight watch.
18 Oct 1730 – Interrogation disrupted by acute psychological episode from Agent McCarter; no injuries. Handler Jay intervened and sedated McCarter off-site.
18 Oct 1745 – Hussain negotiated temporary exfiltration plan: two-week family leave to Saudi Arabia commencing 19 Oct; agreed to maintain covert contact via provided email.
18 Oct 1815 – D-Cell exfiltrated residence; no detection.

Analysis and Recommendations:

Unnatural Vector: Y3 exhibits overt cross-kingdom morphology and potency surpassing known cannabinoids. Properties parallel archived samples from Operation MIRROR-GARDEN (1983) and the “Loco Weed” incident file in A-Cell vault. Recommend full biochemical and para-botanical analysis under Green Box 4828 protocols.
GAP Involvement: Genetic Agricultural Products’ historical contracts intersect with several Program investigations (cf. Project SALAMANDER, Operation DRYAD). Audit GAP research sites for missing inventories or classified cultivars.
Knight Physical Anomalies: Documented feats indicate bio-enhancement consistent with Y3 exposure or allied vector. Tactical models should treat Knight as parabiological threat class “Ghoul-1” (enhanced strength/durability). Non-lethal arrest unlikely.
Cash Hoard: USD 25 M at Valley Dirtland facility may fund expansion or rapid relocation. Appropriation would finance multiple Green Sites; coordinate with Treasury liaison for seizure plan post-action.
Facility Assault: Integrated grow/processing site, Level-4 vault, and concentrated IDS force present hardened target. Deploy Program Tactical Element T-3 (“Cornucopia House alumni”) with federal cover (EPA hazmat warrant citing disposal violations). Time strike for convoy window when internal manpower reduced.
Agent Welfare: McCarter exhibits escalating paranoiac symptoms and loss of self-control; probability of operational compromise rising. Recommend mandatory psych review and potential removal before breach operation.
Next Steps:
- Verify Hussain travel; arrange safe-house funding via B-Branch.
- Clone Level-3 card; acquire Level-4 credentials through social engineering or asset capture.
- Accelerate secondary lab testing of seized cartridges to corroborate Hussain data for legal pretext.
- Prepare burn plan for facility, grow stock, and cash if containment fails.

Session Notes

Session opening & recap by Handler (Luke):
- Reminder of ongoing surveillance on Avalon Gardens management—co-founder Dakota Knight, security director John Bellamy, and lab scientist Dr. Reza Hussain.
- Summarized prior clandestine break-ins at Knight’s condo and Bellamy’s apartment: sparse living conditions, unlabeled vape cartridges everywhere, dead hydroponic cannabis plant in Knight’s condo containing insect-like legs and giving off an “unnatural” scent; discovery of six burner phones tied to fake fan accounts.
- Reiterated that Hussain appears family-oriented, returns home nightly, and his house looks well-occupied, making it harder to enter without detection.
Status-update discussion with Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pizzarelli (off-screen but reported):
- Agents brief her on suspicions that Avalon Gardens’ product contains something “unnatural” lethal to some users (e.g., Radomir Reznik).
- Debate over whether to “burn” Avalon Gardens immediately versus gather more proof to justify a Delta Green tactical strike.
- Pizzarelli requests lab confirmation from a second facility; promises to line up legal cover and a Program tactical team if evidence becomes airtight; asks agents to find/fabricate justification (e.g., health violations, misused toxic by-products).
- Team agrees to forward additional samples and keep her posted.
Internal strategy conversation:
- Consensus that Dr. Reza Hussain is the likeliest weak link; plan to infiltrate his house for evidence and/or leverage.
- Decision to place GPS trackers on his and family vehicles during the night (successful).
- Surveillance shows a regular 1-hour afternoon window when wife Samina picks up daughter Sham from extracurriculars—house empty except Hussain later.
Daytime break-in at Dr. Hussain’s residence (Tuesday 17 Oct):
- Entry with hidden spare key; alarm bypassed by Drummond.
- Search team: Drummond (Chris), Booth (Brian), Parker (Mark).
- Booth critically fails Search—knocks over & shatters decorative ceramic vase; spends time sweeping fragments.
- Findings:
  - Well-kept suburban home; no vape cartridges or cannabis paraphernalia.
  - Hussain’s upstairs office holds only household paperwork; laptop normally docked there is absent.
  - Teen daughter’s diary ridicules father’s hypocrisy working for a cannabis firm despite strict demeanor; no occult or suspicious notes.
  - Confirmation that family knows his employment.
- No incriminating evidence recovered.
Post-break-in planning:
- Team concludes Hussain is likely unaware of full scope, possibly acting under duress.
- Decide on snatch-and-interview during regular Wednesday night window when wife & daughter are out.
- Secure abandoned strip-mall unit as interrogation site; clone Hussain’s level-3 keycard during previous vehicle-tracker installation.
Approach & confrontation at Hussain home (Wed 18 Oct, approx 90 min window):
- Full team present; Jay (McCarter’s handler) waiting in vehicle for standby.
- Parker presents DEA consultant credentials; Hussain opens door on chain—removes chain after agents claim protective intent.
- Inside entryway: Hussain visibly fearful; agents display IDs again; Drummond offers reassurance.
- Human Int readings: fear directed more at Dakota Knight than at agents.
Extraction of critical intel from Dr. Hussain:
- Admits witnessing/experiencing:
  - Late-night screams from Knight-only secure grow house (approx 1 year prior).
  - Knight’s super-human strength: hurled 50 kg autoclave in rage after Hussain destroyed a contaminated shatter batch; has punched through metal siding without injury.
- Confirms three level-4 “secure grow houses” accessible only to Dakota Knight; main grow house produces standard product.
- Employee “appreciation samples” come exclusively from Knight’s secret grows; staff who vape them appear unusually focused rather than high.
- Laboratory analyses show proprietary strain “Yerba al Cubo (Y3)”—3rd-generation derivative of “Yerba Loco” sourced from biotech firm Genetic Agricultural Products (GAP).
  - Y3 grows too fast, exhibits insect-leg filaments on trichomes, and yields extremely potent resin.
- Hussain holds level-3 keycard; provides it and cloned data-stick containing process logs, chemical tests, and internal records (exported to USB).
- Reports that within past weeks Avalon Gardens withdrew ≈ $25 million in cash from credit-union accounts; pallets of cash stored in onsite vault behind level-4 security.
- Security details: ~~10 IDS guards total; normally 2–3 armed on site; Bellamy now routinely pulls night shift; full IDS team mobilized for weekly cash/product convoy; Bellamy & Knight hold level-3, only Knight possesses level-4 clearance.
- Hussain fearful for life; requests protection & exit. Agrees to tell Knight he needs two-week emergency family leave, then fly wife & daughter to Saudi Arabia until agents signal it is safe.
McCarter’s psychological episode during interrogation:
- Upon seeing plant-leg photo, McCarter (already unstable) slams table, accuses Hussain of fabricating toxins, erupts at team.
- Booth attempts restraint; mutual unarmed grapple—both fail to gain control.
- Jay enters, administers calming sedatives; escorts McCarter outside.
- Temporary bond erosion between McCarter & Drummond recorded.
Session end state:
- Agents possess:
  - Hussain’s cloned level-3 keycard & full lab/process data on USB.
  - Detailed interior layout of Avalon Gardens (except level-4 zones).
  - Confirmation of secret Knight-only grows, super-potent Y3 strain, employee exposure via unlabeled vapes.
  - Knowledge of $25 M onsite cash cache and exact security hierarchy.
- Hussain plans immediate departure (after submitting two-week leave request) once agents give go-ahead.
- Team poised to finalize operation plan: potential break-in of level-4 areas and coordination with Pizzarelli for tactical strike.
