Location: Charlotte, North Carolina; Hendry County, Florida

Agents:

• Cortez
• Drummond
• McCarter
• Monroe

Summary:

Agents Cortez, Drummond, McCarter, and Monroe continued their investigation into the death of Agent Clove (Marie Noella) in Hendry County, Florida. They conducted inquiries at Clove’s residence and workplace, encountered an unexplained phenomenon, and gathered information suggesting a possible cover-up involving local law enforcement. They plan to pursue leads involving former deputy Casey Eckstein and the potential involvement of Sheriff Deacon Benson.

Operation Report:

• Agents arrived at Myers Point Trailer Park to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Agent Clove, who had been living under the alias Crystal Killian.
• They engaged Glenda Chesniewski, a neighbor who had reported missing pets around the time of Clove’s death.
  • Glenda reported that her four cats disappeared approximately a month prior, coinciding with other neighbors’ pets going missing.
  • She believed that unknown individuals were stealing pets for nefarious purposes.
  • She mentioned that Clove never turned on her lights at night and that she heard noises on the night of Clove’s death but did not witness anything significant.
• During the conversation, Agent Monroe observed an individual at the entrance of the trailer park:
  • A man wearing yellow motorcycle leathers beside a high-end MV Agusta F4 CC motorcycle.
  • Two cats, one black and one white, were moving around the man’s legs in a repetitive pattern.
  • Agent Monroe attempted to alert the other agents, but they could not see the figure.
• Agents Monroe and Cortez approached the location where Agent Monroe saw the figure:
  • As they advanced, Agent Monroe experienced an overwhelming smell of barbecue.
  • The figure spoke directly to Agent Monroe, delivering a cryptic monologue referencing hunger, games, and offering something of himself.
  • The figure’s helmet visor opened without physical movement, and an anomalous phenomenon occurred where Agent Monroe felt a striking sensation on his face, resulting in blood appearing, though no visible wound was present.
  • The figure then disappeared from Agent Monroe’s perception.
• Agent Monroe relayed the experience to Agent Cortez, repeating the monologue verbatim, including unknown phrases.
  • Agent McCarter joined them, and Agent Monroe repeated the account.
  • Agents observed the blood on Agent Monroe’s face but were unable to locate any injury.
  • Agent McCarter noted that some of the unknown phrases resembled ancient Egyptian language.
• Agents decided to depart the trailer park. Before leaving:
  • Agent Drummond spoke with the trailer park manager, offering monetary incentive for information.
  • The manager indicated that another resident, Chuck, had heard Clove’s door being kicked in on the night of her death.
  • Chuck reportedly saw dogs and cats exiting Clove’s trailer and three individuals heading into the swamp.
  • Agent Drummond obtained Chuck’s contact information for further inquiry.
• Agents proceeded to Southwestern College to investigate Clove’s workplace:
  • They met with Head Librarian Laura Corduroy, who confirmed Clove’s employment since 2008 under the name Crystal Killian.
  • Corduroy described Clove as private, intelligent, and noted that Clove had taught herself Mandarin.
  • Clove had no close associations at work and did not discuss her personal life.
• Agents reviewed Clove’s library records:
  • Clove had checked out numerous books on topics including law, government, history, child psychology, Russian and Eastern European folklore, and occult subjects.
  • Some materials related to the Skoptsi sect, indicating possible continued research into prior cases.
  • Agent Cortez surmised that Clove was attempting to understand or address past events.
• Agents interviewed Jay Oliveira, a student aide:
  • Oliveira had seen Clove at a local establishment called Joe Mama’s Swamp Shack.
  • He reported that Clove frequented the bar, consumed alcohol heavily, and occasionally left with different men.
  • This behavior contrasted with her professional demeanor at work.
  • Agents obtained the location of the bar for potential follow-up.
• While discussing subsequent actions:
  • Agent McCarter recalled that the name “Conradin,” connected to Nika Chilikov’s ghostwriter, is also the name of a character from the story “Sredni Vashtar,” possibly indicating a link to prior occurrences.
  • Agents theorized that Clove’s death might have been orchestrated to draw them into further involvement.
  • They expressed concerns about being manipulated and considered whether they were being tested.
• Agents planned to contact former deputy Casey Eckstein:
  • Eckstein had been dismissed after investigating Clove’s death and was reportedly silenced.
  • Agents suspected that Sheriff Deacon Benson might be involved in concealing information related to Clove’s death.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The unexplained phenomenon experienced by Agent Monroe suggests direct interaction with an unnatural entity:
  • The entity’s selective visibility and ability to physically affect Agent Monroe without leaving a wound indicate a high-level anomalous threat.
  • The content of the monologue may hold significance, potentially correlating with known entities associated with ancient mythology or prior case files.
• Agent McCarter’s recognition of potential ancient Egyptian linguistic elements warrants further investigation:
  • Cross-reference with cases involving Egyptian deities or cults may provide insight.
  • Consultation with specialists in ancient languages and esoteric practices is recommended.
• The pattern of missing pets and animal behavior:
  • Similar occurrences have been documented in previous operations (see references to Operation CAT’S CRADLE and Incident Report 812).
  • Suggests a potential link between animal disappearances and unnatural activities in the area.
• Clove’s independent research into child psychology, folklore, and occult topics:
  • Indicates she may have uncovered information pertinent to ongoing threats.
  • Retrieval and analysis of her research materials could be crucial.
• Possible involvement of local law enforcement:
  • Sheriff Benson’s actions may signify obstruction or complicity.
  • Discrepancies in official reports necessitate discreet inquiry into his activities and associations.
• Engagement with former deputy Eckstein:
  • Eckstein may provide valuable intelligence on the situation.
  • Caution is advised, as contact may alert adversarial parties.
• Agents’ concerns about manipulation and testing:
  • Suggests possible external orchestration of events.
  • Recommend heightened operational security and psychological evaluation of agents for potential influences.
• Monitoring of Agent Monroe:
  • Due to the direct encounter, Agent Monroe should be observed for any further anomalous symptoms or behavioral changes.
  • Consideration of prophylactic measures or debriefing protocols as per standing directives.
• A-Cell should evaluate the need for additional support:
  • Potential deployment of specialized assets to assist in containment and investigation.
  • Cross-referencing with other regional activities may reveal larger patterns requiring immediate attention.

Session Notes

• The session begins with the Handler (Luke) providing a recap of previous events:
  • Agents Graham Drummond and Matthew McCarter were hospitalized after the attack on King Torino Children’s Refuge.
  • While they recovered, Agent David Cortez spent time with Nika Chilikov, learning about her past and obtaining a copy of her thesis exploring the children’s psychology.
  • The team then traveled to Florida to investigate the death of Crystal Killian.
• Upon arriving at Myers Point Trailer Park, the agents searched Crystal Killian’s trailer, anticipating possible dangers like an alligator attack, but encountered none.
  • They found photographic evidence confirming that Crystal Killian was Marie Noella, also known as Agent Clove.
  • They discovered evidence suggesting that a large number of pets had gone missing, with tracks indicating they had entered the swamp.
  • A graffiti tag matching the red brain drawing from Nika’s collection, associated with the Cornucopia House kids, was found.
• The agents expressed concern about Sheriff Deacon Benson of Hendry County, who had ruled Crystal’s death as natural causes and seemingly covered up the investigation.
  • Deputy Casey Eckstein, who initially investigated the case and raised concerns, was fired after persisting in his inquiries.
• Steel Monroe questioned why Clove was targeted, speculating whether her attempt to help the children or possible involvement of old Delta Green led to her death.
  • The team discussed the possibility that Clove was eliminated because she knew too much or as a loose end.
• Deciding to gather more information, the agents went to speak with Glenda Chesniewski, Crystal’s neighbor who had reported her cats missing.
  • They approached her trailer, and after some hesitation, Glenda, an elderly woman with curlers in her hair and a cigarette, answered the door.
  • Glenda believed that people were stealing pets in the neighborhood for cosmetic testing and had reported her missing cats to the sheriff multiple times.
  • She mentioned that all her cats disappeared at once, about a month ago, and that other neighbors also lost pets around the same time.
  • Glenda heard a noise the night of Crystal’s death but saw nothing when she looked outside; she noted that Crystal never turned on her lights at night.
• During the conversation, Steel Monroe felt a sudden chill and noticed a man in yellow motorcycle leathers at the end of the driveway.
  • The man was thin, wore a black motorcycle helmet, and stood beside a high-end motorcycle identified as an MV Agusta F4 CC.
  • Two cats, one black and one white, were weaving figure eights between the man’s legs.
  • Steel tried to alert the others, but they saw nothing unusual.
• Steel waved at the man, who slowly waved back.
  • Deciding to approach, Steel walked towards the man with Agent Cortez accompanying him.
  • As they drew closer, Steel was overwhelmed by the intense aroma of barbecue, which became almost unbearable.
  • The man spoke directly to Steel, delivering a cryptic monologue:
    • He mentioned it had been too long since they’d been together, expressed missing Steel, and admitted his own distractions.
    • Spoke of Steel being hungry and referenced providing “fuel for your tiny fires” and “willing flesh to carry your majesty on a palanquin tour of this strange place.”
    • Hinted at playing games again before Steel recedes “beneath and between” and offered to “spare some of myself to feed so interesting a machine.”
    • The monologue ended with unintelligible words in an unidentifiable language.
  • Without moving, the man’s visor snapped up, and an enormous red tongue lashed out, striking Steel across the face.
  • The man then vanished before Steel’s eyes.
• Agent Cortez observed Steel’s strange behavior, seeing him tense up and then noticing blood running down Steel’s face.
  • Steel recited the entire monologue verbatim to Cortez, including the unknown words.
  • Cortez, alarmed, pointed his gun at Steel, demanding an explanation and questioning his sanity.
  • Steel explained what he experienced, noting that the others couldn’t see the man or the cats.
• Agent McCarter approached them, drawing his weapon upon seeing Steel’s bloody face.
  • Steel repeated the unknown words, hoping McCarter might recognize them.
  • McCarter suggested the language sounded like an ancient or reconstructed form of Egyptian but couldn’t be certain without further research.
  • Upon inspection, Steel found that although his face was covered in blood, there was no wound; the blood seemed to have appeared without injury.
• The agents noticed Glenda watching them from her window and decided to conclude their conversation.
  • A resident drove by in a pickup truck, forcing them to step aside; the man inquired if everything was all right.
  • Agent Drummond suggested speaking with the trailer park manager for more information.
• Drummond approached the manager, offering a $100 bribe for any helpful information.
  • The manager revealed that Chuck, another resident, heard Crystal’s door being kicked in the night she died.
  • Chuck saw a group of dogs and cats emerge from her trailer, followed by three people who then wandered into the swamp.
  • The police dismissed the incident as vandalism and suggested the pets were Crystal’s that ran off.
  • Drummond obtained Chuck’s contact information from the manager for future follow-up.
• The agents discussed their findings:
  • They considered tracing the pets’ tracks into the swamp but decided against it due to safety concerns.
  • Noted the eerie absence of typical animal sounds like birds in the area.
  • Considered the possibility that the animals were compelled or influenced by unnatural forces.
• Deciding to further investigate Clove’s background, they traveled to Southwestern College to visit the library where she worked.
• At the college library, they met with Laura Corduroy, the head librarian.
  • Laura confirmed that Crystal Killian worked as an assistant librarian but didn’t have an office; she only had minimal personal items at work.
  • Crystal was originally from Alaska, had only a high school education, but was highly intelligent and taught herself Mandarin.
  • She didn’t discuss her past or family, implying she had negative experiences.
  • Crystal had worked at the library since 2008, and while not close to Laura, she was considered a friend and a dedicated employee.
• The agents requested to see the records of books Crystal had checked out.
  • The list included a wide range of non-fiction topics: law, government, history, child welfare systems, child psychology, and occult subjects related to Russian and Eastern European folklore.
  • Agent Cortez recognized a pattern suggesting Crystal was conducting research to make sense of her past experiences, possibly related to the Skoptsi cult and events from 2001.
• Laura mentioned that a student aide, Jay Oliveira, might have known Crystal outside of work.
  • The agents decided to speak with Jay for additional insights.
• Agent Drummond interviewed Jay Oliveira in a private study room.
  • Jay, a 19-year-old Latino student, appeared nervous speaking with federal agents.
  • He admitted to seeing Crystal at a local dive bar called Joe Mama’s Swamp Shack.
  • Jay observed that Crystal drank heavily and occasionally left with different men, which contrasted with her professional demeanor at work.
  • He noted that after he mentioned seeing her at the bar, Crystal seemed displeased, and he stopped discussing it.
  • Jay provided the address of the bar and his contact information to the agents.
• As they left the library, Agent McCarter had a realization:
  • He connected the name “Conradin,” the person who helped Nika connect with her ghostwriter, to the main character from the short story “Sredni Vashtar,” which they found hidden in the wall at King Torino Children’s Refuge.
  • McCarter did not share this information with the team but appeared deep in thought.
• While driving to their next destination, the agents debated their next steps:
  • They considered whether to contact Deputy Casey Eckstein or confront Sheriff Deacon Benson.
  • McCarter suggested that speaking with Eckstein might not be necessary, theorizing that their adversaries were eliminating loose ends, and Clove was killed because she knew too much.
  • The team discussed the possibility that they were being manipulated or maneuvered by unknown forces, possibly being tested or used as pawns.
• Agents reflected on recent encounters:
  • Noted that the attacks they faced might not have been direct attempts to kill them but rather collateral or part of a larger scheme.
  • Considered that Clove’s death might have been orchestrated to draw them back into the situation, given that their names were found connected to her murder.
• Agent Cortez communicated with Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pizzarelli via text message:
  • He inquired whether Marie Noella, known as Clove, was ever tracked or pulled in by the program.
  • Pizzarelli responded ambiguously, stating she would “run it up the chain,” indicating uncertainty or reticence to provide information.
• The agents decided that speaking with Deputy Eckstein was necessary to discover how their names were connected to Clove’s murder.
  • They planned to approach Eckstein by affirming his suspicions about the sheriff and gaining his trust.
  • Acknowledged that confronting the sheriff directly might be premature without more information.
• The session concluded with the agents contemplating their theories and preparing to meet Eckstein, hoping to uncover more about the unfolding mystery and their potential manipulation by unseen forces.
