Location: Miami, Florida

Agents:

• Cortez

• Monroe

Summary:

Agents of Working Group Masticate continued their investigation into the recent events connected to Cornucopia House and the associated unnatural phenomena. Their inquiries led them to Miami’s West Flagler and Flagami districts, centered around St. Laurence Church. The agents gathered intelligence on local belief systems involving the “Quiet Children,” the “Hungry Mother,” and “Red-Minded Men.” They identified potential leads on the whereabouts of key individuals and planned further action.

Operation Report:

• Morning Arrival in Miami:

  • On September 20, 2016, the agents traveled to Miami, targeting the West Flagler and Flagami districts due to prior intelligence linking red brain graffiti to the area surrounding St. Laurence Church.
  • The neighborhood was noted as low-income, with several houses in poor repair and signs of economic hardship.

• Incident with the Greyhound:

  • Upon exiting their vehicle in the church parking lot, the agents observed a greyhound dog erratically crossing traffic, carrying a live coral snake in its jaws.
  • The dog approached the agents’ vehicle, violently dispatched the snake by thrashing it apart, and then succumbed to the snake’s venom, dying near their car.
  • Agent Murphy examined the dog’s collar, discovering its name was “Thanks Obama,” along with two contact numbers.
  • The agents contacted the owner, who expressed distress over the loss of the valuable dog and arranged to retrieve the body.

• Attendance at St. Laurence Church Mass:

  • The agents attended the morning Mass conducted by Father Mauricio Robledo, noting the modest attendance and the church’s state of upkeep.
  • Following the service, Father Robledo approached the agents, initiating a conversation.

• Interview with Father Mauricio Robledo:

  • The agents introduced themselves as Department of Justice personnel and inquired about Elle Gable, presenting her photograph.
  • Father Robledo recognized Elle Gable, recalling her presence at the church approximately five years prior along with a group of four other youths.
  • He described the youths as non-communicative, exhibiting violent tendencies, and ultimately had to ask them to leave the shelter provided by the church.
  • Father Robledo identified another individual from a photograph, Thomas Perez, noting that Perez had visited the church a few weeks earlier and occasionally used sign language.

• Information on Local Belief Systems:

  • The priest detailed a local belief system among the homeless community centered around figures known as the “Quiet Children,” the “Hungry Mother,” and “Red-Minded Men.”
    • Quiet Children: Regarded as near-angelic beings who oppose the Hungry Mother and are seen as guides or saviors by some in the community.
    • Hungry Mother: Personifies the hardships and suffering experienced, viewed as an adversary responsible for pain and turmoil.
    • Red-Minded Men: Considered servants of the Hungry Mother, symbolized by the red brain graffiti. They represent those in authority or perceived as oppressors.
  • Father Robledo mentioned that the Quiet Children might be responsible for the spread of these beliefs and that their supposed actions serve as lessons or warnings.
  • He provided the location of a nearby abandoned house frequented by individuals associated with these beliefs.

• Discussion and Analysis Among Agents:

  • After departing the church, the agents convened at a local diner to analyze the information received.
  • They recalled prior encounters with similar symbols and entities, considering the possibility of connections to the Skoptsi cult and the events at Cornucopia House.
  • The agents discussed the scars each bore from past animal attacks, pondering the significance of being “marked” and potential implications.
  • Agent Drummond referenced a voice memo containing cryptic messages that paralleled the belief system described by Father Robledo.
  • The agents debated the nature of the entities involved, their own roles, and the potential influence exerted upon them.

• Planning Next Steps:

  • Recognizing the potential lead, the agents planned to investigate the abandoned house indicated by Father Robledo.
  • They considered the need for caution due to the volatile nature of previous encounters with individuals connected to these phenomena.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• Potential Threat from Unidentified Entities:

  • The agents’ recurring encounters with symbols and entities suggest an organized and potentially dangerous group operating under the guise of local mythology.
  • The belief system involving the Quiet Children and the Hungry Mother may mask a cult-like organization with possible ties to the unnatural.

• Agents Possibly Compromised:

  • The shared scars from animal attacks indicate the agents may have been marked or influenced by unknown forces.
  • Psychological evaluations are recommended to assess potential cognitive or behavioral alterations resulting from these experiences.

• Need for Enhanced Intelligence:

  • Additional information on the Quiet Children, the Hungry Mother, and the significance of the red brain symbol is crucial.
  • Cross-reference with other operations involving similar symbols (e.g., Operation RED HARVEST) to identify patterns or connections.

• Operational Support Suggested:

  • Provide the agents with access to specialized resources or personnel experienced in handling cults or entities related to these phenomena.
  • Consider deploying backup or extraction teams in anticipation of potential escalation during the investigation of the abandoned house.

• Monitoring of Local Networks:

  • Increase surveillance in the Miami area, focusing on homeless communities and locations marked with the red brain symbol.
  • Liaise with local law enforcement discreetly to gather intelligence without compromising operational secrecy.

• Containment Measures:

  • Prepare protocols for containment or neutralization if the agents confirm the presence of unnatural threats.
  • Ensure that any actions taken minimize exposure and prevent widespread panic or knowledge of Delta Green activities.

Session Notes

• The session begins with the agents planning their next steps in the investigation.
• They conclude that they need to travel to Miami to follow up on leads related to the case.
• On the morning of Tuesday, September 20th, the agents check out of their hotel and drive to Miami.
• They arrive at the St. Laurence Church, located on the border of the West Flagler and Flagami districts in Miami.
• The neighborhood is described as low-income, with many older homes in poor repair, abandoned houses, and small businesses serving the local community.
• The church itself is modest and could use a new paint job. It’s not a ritzy place.
• As they park in the church’s parking lot, they hear a car horn blare. Looking up, they see a greyhound dog darting across traffic, causing vehicles to swerve and brake.
• The greyhound is carrying a colorful red, black, and white snake in its jaws, specifically a coral snake, which is venomous.
• The dog approaches their vehicle, sits near the passenger side door, and begins thrashing its head violently, killing the snake by breaking it into pieces.
• After killing the snake, the dog looks up at the agents, then starts seizing and dies within a minute, presumably from the snake’s venom.
• The agents are disturbed by the unnatural behavior of the dog and the bizarre event they just witnessed.
• The Handler asks the agents to make Sanity checks due to the unsettling nature of the scene.
  • McCarter and Drummond fail their Sanity checks and each lose 1 SAN point.
• The agents discuss the possibility of the dog and snake being symbolic or connected to their past experiences.
• McCarter exits the vehicle to examine the dog’s collar and tags, despite the reluctance of the other agents.
• The dog’s name is “Thanks Obama,” and there are two phone numbers listed on the tag.
• McCarter also examines the remains of the snake and recognizes it as a coral snake using his survival skills.
• A passerby, a Hispanic man in his early 30s, notices the dead dog and expresses concern, asking if it’s their dog.
• The man suggests that the dog might have protected them from the venomous snake, viewing it as a sign of someone watching over them.
• He offers to help move the dog’s body using an emergency blanket from his car.
• McCarter accepts the offer, and they use the blanket to cover the dog.
• The agents consider calling the dog’s owner using the numbers on the tag.
• Cortez calls the owner, a man named Paul, and informs him of the dog’s death.
  • Paul is upset, mentioning the dog was worth $50,000 as it was a racing greyhound.
  • He offers a $500 reward for the return of the dog’s body for insurance purposes.
• The agents agree to wait for Paul to arrive to collect the dog.
• While waiting, they decide to attend the morning Mass at the church.
• Steele, Drummond, and McCarter enter the church, while Cortez remains outside to wait for the dog’s owner.
• Inside the church, the agents observe the Mass, which is sparsely attended, mostly by blue-collar workers.
• The Mass is led by Father Mauricio Robledo, a Latino man in his 40s with curly dark hair and a well-trimmed beard.
• The agents attempt to gauge the congregation but fail their HUMINT checks, not gaining significant insights.
• After Mass, Father Robledo approaches the agents, noting they are new faces, and engages them in conversation.
• He introduces himself and asks if they are new to the neighborhood.
• The agents mention they are investigating a series of crimes and are from the Department of Justice.

• Father Robledo recognizes Elle Gable, noting that she and a group of youths came through the church about five years ago.
  • He recalls there were four youths, all troubled and often not speaking.
  • They exhibited violent tendencies, and despite his efforts, the priest eventually had to ask them to leave the shelter.
• The agents show him pictures of other individuals, including Samuel Ball and Thomas Perez.
  • The priest identifies Samuel Ball as one of the youths from five years ago.
  • He also recognizes Thomas Perez but notes that Perez came to the church more recently, a couple of weeks ago.
• The agents inquire about a potential fourth individual but the priest does not recognize Nika, another person of interest.
• Father Robledo discusses a belief system held by some of the homeless youth in the area:
  • The “Hungry Mother” represents the harshness and pain of their lifestyle, acting as the adversary.
  • The “Red-Minded Men” are seen as servants of the Hungry Mother, representing authority figures who control and harm them.
  • The “Quiet Children” are viewed as angelic figures who have transcended suffering and warn others about the dangers of the Hungry Mother.
• The priest mentions that the youths often paint a symbol of a black silhouette with a red brain, representing the Red-Minded Men.
  • He acknowledges seeing this symbol painted around the church and shelter, sometimes even on the church itself.
• The agents show the priest a picture of the symbol, which they have encountered during their investigation.
  • The priest confirms it is the same symbol used by the youths.
• Father Robledo expresses concern that this belief system discourages the youth from seeking help, as they distrust authority figures.
• He offers to help the agents find these individuals and asks them to treat the homeless community with respect and empathy.
• The priest suggests that the agents might find more information by speaking to some of the shelter’s residents.
• He provides a lead on a nearby house where some of the youths connected to this belief system may be staying.
  • The house is just across the street, a few houses down from the intersection with Hunt.
• Meanwhile, outside, Cortez meets Paul, the owner of the dog, who arrives in a Ferrari, noticeably out of place in the neighborhood.
  • Paul is upset about the dog’s death, mostly due to its monetary value.
  • He struggles with how to transport the dead dog in his car but manages to place it in the passenger seat.
  • Paul initially neglects to offer the reward until prompted by Cortez.

• Cortez, after Paul leaves, gives $100 to the man who provided the blanket for the dog as a gesture of thanks.
• The agents regroup and decide to discuss the information they’ve gathered at a local Waffle House.
• Over breakfast, they debate the significance of the Hungry Mother, the Quiet Children, and the Red-Minded Men.
  • Monroe expresses concern about not wanting to be manipulated by the Hungry Mother and mentions his own troubling experiences.
  • The agents consider whether the Hungry Mother might be connected to the cult they previously encountered, the Skoptsi.
  • Cortez recalls that the Skoptsi worshipped a deity referred to as Magna Mater, which might be linked to the Hungry Mother.
• They discuss the possibility that the Quiet Children are opposing the Hungry Mother and what that means for their investigation.
• McCarter becomes introspective, hinting at a deeper understanding or experience but is reluctant to share fully.
  • He mentions the connection between themselves and animals, noting that each agent has a scar from an animal encounter.

  • Cortez has a scar on the back of his hand.
  • McCarter has a scar on his forehead.
  • Monroe has a discolored spot on the end of his thumb.
  • Drummond likely has a scar on his leg, although it’s not explicitly confirmed.
