Report No: GT/GE-170603-042250213

Location: Reno and Carson City, NV

Agents:

• Drummond
• McCarter
• Parker
• Booth

Summary:

Program operatives pursued evidence of a ritual involving remote drone surveillance and targeted killings. In the course of the investigation, two agents temporarily vanished under unexplained conditions, a suspect was forcibly apprehended, and an imminent threat was contained. The operation concluded with the disruption of the hostile activities and the removal of the primary suspect from the area.

Operation Report:

• Agents Drummond and Parker successfully extracted suspect Anthony Cooper from Peppermill Apartments amidst an armed confrontation. Cooper was subdued and his notes were confiscated.
• During the extraction, Drummond sustained a gunshot wound but remained functional. He received medical attention at a safe house in Dayton.
• Agents Booth and McCarter, previously missing, reappeared in Reno after a 12-hour absence. They claimed to have escaped a parallel dimension using a memory alteration ritual performed by McCarter.
• Upon reunion, McCarter exhibited signs of severe psychological distress, which nearly escalated to violence against Cooper. He was restrained and sedated by Agent Drummond.
• Cooper was interrogated, revealing his involvement in a larger ritual involving surveillance drones and cartel connections. His cooperation was dubious, and he was later extracted for further containment by Delta Green operatives.
• Agent Drummond coordinated with Assistant U.S. Attorney Pizzarelli to ground the drones and thwart the ritual’s completion. This action, combined with a police intervention, prevented further murders.
• The team disbanded after ensuring the threat was neutralized, with plans for debriefing and reassessment of Agent McCarter’s condition.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The psychological state of Agent McCarter is concerning. His exposure to the supernatural and subsequent distress suggest a need for mental health evaluation and possible reassignment. His ability to perform rituals could be both an asset and a liability.
• The retrieval and subsequent handling of Anthony Cooper highlight the complexities of dealing with human assets entwined with supernatural operations. Continued surveillance and containment are advised to prevent any further dissemination of his knowledge.
• The involvement of persistent vigil software in the ritual requires a thorough investigation into its origins and potential breaches in national security. The possibility of other entities replicating this method could pose significant risks.
• The reappearance of Agents Booth and McCarter from a parallel dimension warrants further exploration into the mechanics of interdimensional travel and its implications for Delta Green operations.
• The successful grounding of the drones and prevention of the ritual’s culmination demonstrates the efficacy of coordinated efforts between field operatives and legal oversight. However, it underscores the necessity of maintaining secrecy and operational integrity amidst bureaucratic entanglements.
• The operation’s conclusion suggests a temporary stabilization of the immediate threat, but ongoing vigilance is required. Connections to other cult activities and potential repercussions must be monitored.

Session Notes

• The session begins with a recap by Luke, the Handler, detailing the previous events where agents tracked a mysterious email to the Peppermill Apartments in Reno, Nevada. Upon arrival, agents Frank Booth and Matthew McCarter vanished, leaving Cole Parker and Graham Drummond to proceed alone.
• Parker and Drummond managed to apprehend a suspect, Anthony Cooper, in apartment 6A after coercing the apartment manager to identify him. However, they were ambushed by gunmen, resulting in Drummond being wounded by a shotgun.
• Amidst the chaos, Cooper surprisingly offered his notes to the agents when they arrested him. Drummond and Parker extracted Cooper and fled the scene.
• Meanwhile, Booth and McCarter found themselves in a twisted version of reality, trapped in a decayed version of the Peppermill Apartments ensnared in webbing. They discovered a corpse in a cocoon and were approached by a massive creature.
• McCarter devised a plan to escape by performing a memory-altering ritual on both Booth and himself, erasing their memory of a particular pattern, which resulted in them returning to Reno 12 hours later.
• The session rewinds to cover the 12 hours Booth and McCarter were missing. Drummond and Parker are seen dealing with the aftermath, driving away from the crime scene with Cooper as their captive.
• Drummond, wounded, takes direct pressure to his injuries while searching Cooper for anything of interest. He finds a cheap phone with messages indicating Cooper had requested protection, revealing a contact named “Santa.”
• Parker successfully evades the police with a skilled drive, and the agents head to a safe house arranged by Pizzarelli, where Drummond is further treated for his shotgun wounds.
• Drummond takes measures to secure Cooper, gagging him to prevent further outbursts as Cooper pleads to be let out of the city, citing a need to be in Reno for some unspecified event.
• Upon arrival at the safe house, Pizzarelli assists Drummond with his injuries and arranges for a program asset, a surgeon, to arrive from San Francisco for further medical assistance.
• As Pizzarelli and Parker interrogate Cooper, they learn about his involvement with a cartel and his use of magic to spy on the border patrol, trading that information for a hit squad.
• The agents contemplate using Cooper’s knowledge to ground the drones involved in the ritual, but remain wary of potential traps Cooper might set, deciding to consult Bowyer, a computer expert, to handle the technical aspects.
• Drummond continues to experience pain and exhaustion as he waits for medical assistance, but remains conscious and alert, eventually receiving treatment from the surgeon who arrives in the early morning hours.
• The session progresses to Booth and McCarter, who have returned to Reno, meeting Drummond and Parker at an IHOP to discuss their disappearance and subsequent return.
• Booth explains McCarter’s actions in the alternate reality and his use of a memory-altering ritual, which helped them return. They decide to keep this detail from Pizzarelli to avoid complications.
• The narrative shifts back to the safe house where McCarter has an emotional breakdown upon seeing Cooper, attacking him and requiring Drummond and Parker to subdue him using a stun gun.
• Pizzarelli departs with Cooper to an airfield for extraction, leaving the agents to deal with McCarter’s unstable condition. They discuss the situation and attempt to calm McCarter, who is deeply affected by the events.
• The session concludes with Pizzarelli reporting that persistent vigil has been shut down, the drones grounded, and the agents’ mission considered complete. The surviving agents reflect on their experiences and the lives they saved.
• A coda reveals Kim Bowyer being introduced to a new project based on Cooper’s work, hinting at the continuation of the technological experiments that were part of the case, despite the agents’ efforts to prevent it.
