Welcome to Agents Dossier, a Delta Green actual play series brought to you by 12 Sided Stories.

2
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:48,360
And now your GM, Wes Otis.

3
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Hello Patreon listeners.

4
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:58,680
This is Delta Green's Agents Dossier and I am here with some new players to this particular

5
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,680
story.

6
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,960
And so let's introduce them.

7
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Let's start with Pooja.

8
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Hi, I'm Pooja.

9
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,480
I'm playing Neha Singh, a former military security contractor.

10
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,480
And Jay.

11
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Hi, I'm Jay.

12
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,560
I'm going to be playing Parker Allen, a former FBI agent.

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,560
Cool.

14
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Well, you guys have actually already been in Delta Green for about six months.

15
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,320
We are going to do a really quick flashback scene, one for each of you, about how you

16
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:34,800
came to find out about Delta Green and how you two met and started working together.

17
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Now as the cells are usually made up of two to four people and they usually have code

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,620
names that are part of whatever alphabet letter they've landed on.

19
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:49,940
So A is obviously the top.

20
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:55,720
So you're not going to be A. And I believe the other group, Michelle and Mac, I think

21
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,560
they're M right now.

22
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,840
So what letter do you guys want to be?

23
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,600
And then you'll have to pick a code name that just starts with the same letter.

24
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,680
So the other group is M and I suppose we're newer than they are.

25
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,680
So

26
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Not really.

27
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,080
You guys started about the same time.

28
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,040
So if you wanted to be like O or S or whatever you can.

29
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,040
And people die.

30
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,200
So you could be an earlier one if you want.

31
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,760
Just cycles right back around to the top.

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,760
What do you think?

33
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,760
O sounds fine, I guess.

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,760
O works.

35
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Yeah.

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,760
All right.

37
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,680
So what name starting with O do you want to use as your code names?

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Ocelot.

39
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,680
Ocelot.

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Awesome.

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
So Ocelot.

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I'll get behind that.

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Pooja?

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Well, if that's the case, Osprey.

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Osprey.

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
It's a bird, right?

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Yeah.

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
A cat and a bird.

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
That sounds like fun.

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Yeah.

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Good combo.

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Sounds like a mid 1990s Marvel comic book.

53
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Ocelot and Osprey.

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Yep.

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Yep.

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Yep.

57
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Yep.

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Lots of pouches.

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Lots of pouches.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,200
You can knock Hawk and Dove off the...

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,240
It's the new cloak and dagger team.

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Yeah, absolutely.

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,600
All right.

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:25,560
So let's start with Ocelot and describe your character, their name, and how they came to

65
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,360
be in Delta Green.

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,360
All right.

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,240
So as I said, it's Parker Friedman Allen is his full name.

68
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,480
He just goes by Parker or Park or Ocelot.

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,360
And he was a career FBI agent, black guy, shaved head, sort of tall, you know, very

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,480
sturdy FBI brown shoes, square jaw kind of dude.

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,780
He is married.

72
00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:54,500
His wife is Janice and his wife is an archivist and librarian.

73
00:03:54,500 --> 00:04:00,480
And I'm still not sure where she came across it, but she's the one who stumbled into the

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,760
sort of mysterious goings on.

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,640
And the first place that I heard the name Delta Green was through her and through her

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,720
research, research that drove her increasingly paranoid and obsessive until a couple of years

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:20,080
ago she went missing, leaving me and our daughter Miranda, who's about nine on our own.

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,640
I would investigate and I tried to get my FBI cohort to investigate with me.

79
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,960
They all refused.

80
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,860
Everyone just thinks she split on me.

81
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:33,920
We had a slightly rocky marriage that was made worse by her descent into weirdness.

82
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:40,100
And so after being frustrated at the FBI, I split, hung out my own shingle for a while

83
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:41,600
and continued her investigation.

84
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,240
And that eventually led me to Delta Green and they recruited me since I was on to them.

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,820
Okay, cool.

86
00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:56,200
And have you personally run into anything that makes you believe that there are horrible

87
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,160
things out there before you joined Delta Green?

88
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,160
Not personally, no.

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,160
I've not run into it.

90
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,360
I believe it because I do believe in my wife and she believed it.

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,620
Her files are full of all sorts of very bizarre pictures that don't make sense and scribbling

92
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:15,320
in notes, events that don't quite add up.

93
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,560
So I believe that it's there, but I personally haven't seen anything yet.

94
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Okay.

95
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,820
You are located in Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, and you've been there for a while.

96
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:31,380
It's not very far from the FBI headquarters and your kids have been going to school there

97
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:32,380
for a while.

98
00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:38,200
And one morning you're making them breakfast and they're getting ready for school or whatever.

99
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,720
And you hear a knock on the door and when you open the door, there's an envelope with

100
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,940
just your name on it.

101
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:45,940
It's just says Parker.

102
00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:46,940
Yeah.

103
00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:48,200
Well, I pick it up and open it.

104
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:56,660
There is a note from this guy named Jake Woodman and he used to work with you at the bureau.

105
00:05:56,660 --> 00:06:01,480
You guys were pretty close friends before you left and then you kind of lost touch.

106
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,560
And it just says, Hey man, I came across this picture.

107
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,480
I'm not sure where it was taken, but I thought you'd find it interesting.

108
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000
And it's this picture.

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,620
It looks like there's a man standing and you see his back and then you see a bunch of people

110
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:21,880
in front of him with robes on, but with the hoods down and they're on their knees.

111
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,560
They look very joyous as they're looking up at them and they're kind of have their hands

112
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,360
up and in the front row is Janice.

113
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,560
And she has this kind of euphoric, strange look on her face.

114
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,600
It's a black and white photo.

115
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Hmm.

116
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Okay.

117
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,600
Are there any identifying marks?

118
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,720
Is there, you know, on the back of the photo, is there a photo development place printed

119
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,720
back there?

120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Is there anything, a timestamp, a date, anything on it?

121
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
There is.

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,240
It just says on the back, Edna Bay photo processing.

123
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,240
All right.

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Well, I mean, I get back in, get Miranda up and out to go to school.

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Okay.

126
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,160
You know, keeping the picture from her.

127
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,360
She asks, who was at the door?

128
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,520
I'm like, a salesman, send them away.

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,840
Don't, don't worry about it.

130
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,640
Go to school, you know, get her on the school bus.

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,760
And then I go to the internet and then look up Edna Bay processing.

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,760
And where is that?

133
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,800
Edna Bay is in Alaska.

134
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,360
You know how Alaska has that little tail that comes down the coast of Canada?

135
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Yep.

136
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,900
There's a bunch of islands.

137
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:29,440
It's on one of those really small remote islands all the way out there.

138
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Can I call them?

139
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Yeah, sure.

140
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
I call Edna Bay processing.

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Hello?

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,440
Hello.

143
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,440
Is this Edna Bay processing?

144
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Yeah, yeah, it is.

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Yeah.

146
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,440
Yeah.

147
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,440
You do a photo processing there?

148
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Yeah.

149
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Yes, we do.

150
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,440
So I've recently come across a photo from a friend of mine.

151
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,880
I'm trying to track down maybe who or when this was processed.

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,400
A black and white photo of a number of people.

153
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Maybe there's other sets of these.

154
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,640
They seem to be maybe some sort of religious sect.

155
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Does any of this ring a bell?

156
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Yeah, we have a lot of different people that come through here that come to see the town

157
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,640
and the local.

158
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Look, I don't like speaking ill of them at all, but there are some funny people up here.

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Yeah, definitely.

160
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Okay.

161
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,640
How long have they been there?

162
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:31,200
Ever since the fishery opened, the cannery, we have a new cannery.

163
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,200
It's a black cod fishing company.

164
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Suddenly, all these people started showing up.

165
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Yeah, you think that new business is going to do you good, but it just doesn't.

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,160
I'm so sorry to hear that.

167
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000
I'm really, really sorry.

168
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,280
I was wondering, with these new people coming to town, do you get to know the new people?

169
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Do you get to know the new arrivals at all?

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Not like we used to.

171
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880
We used to be a town of 75 people.

172
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,720
Now there's like 200, 300 and growing.

173
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,720
That's a lot.

174
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,720
That's a lot of big growth.

175
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

176
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Does the name, does Janice Allen mean anything to you?

177
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,520
No, no, I'm sorry it doesn't.

178
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,520
That's fine.

179
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,520
So you said the company was Black Cod?

180
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Fishery, yeah.

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,320
Fishery is the company that built this new cannery in town and is bringing these new

182
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:28,680
people and seems to be maybe involved in some not quite normal religious practices.

183
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,680
Yeah, we get a lot of hippie-dippie stuff.

184
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:32,680
It happens.

185
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:42,280
I mean, you know, people come up here for the nature and they don't wear shoes or have

186
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,280
flowers in their hair.

187
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,280
You just get used to it.

188
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Yeah, you know, I've heard that much about that part of the country, about Alaska.

189
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,720
Yeah.

190
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,480
If they're not hunting moose, they're trying to find God.

191
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,280
It's just one of the things, yeah.

192
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040
The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

193
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,040
I know, I've heard.

194
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,040
So, well, thank you.

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Thank you for this information.

196
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,040
This is very helpful.

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,240
If you come out here, come by and show me the picture, I might be able to help you more.

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,240
I will see.

199
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320
It's quite a distance for me right now, but it's very possible I'll be making my way up

200
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,320
to you very soon.

201
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Well, have a good day.

202
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,320
You too.

203
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
So I hang up the phone.

204
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Okay.

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,160
And then immediately go and search Black Cod Fisheries.

206
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,160
All right.

207
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,040
So you go on there and we will get right back to you in one second.

208
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,040
All right.

209
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,960
So tell me what a day starts off like for you, Pooja.

210
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,960
How does your...

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Neha wakes up really early, no matter what, just from years of getting up and having to

212
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,160
go train from her time in the MMA circuit.

213
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,080
The downside is now she doesn't sleep very much anymore, but no matter what time she

214
00:10:53,080 --> 00:11:00,960
can finally fall asleep, like 5 a.m., 5.30 at the latest, eyes are open and she must

215
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,600
go do something.

216
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Whether that's bleary eyed, like she stumbles in, mixes up some coffee and hits a workout

217
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,400
just to get all the crap out of her brain.

218
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,500
It's a lot harder than you think.

219
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,640
Somebody would want to work out first thing in the morning, but she's used to it.

220
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,340
This is her thing.

221
00:11:22,340 --> 00:11:26,400
This is what she does every day because nothing else is an option.

222
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,680
And how did you get involved with Delta Green?

223
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,560
What was the incident that brought you into the fold?

224
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:41,840
Neha used to work for a security firm called White Ice and they were military subcontractors

225
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:48,180
who did operations in the States sometimes, but mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan, just like

226
00:11:48,180 --> 00:11:49,960
most military contractors do.

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:56,280
Her team went out on what should have been a routine extraction and along the way, one

228
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,840
of her team came into possession of like a really old coin.

229
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,440
It was at a market.

230
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,280
He thought it looked cool, bought it and it all went downhill from there.

231
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,280
How did it go downhill?

232
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,240
What do you mean exactly?

233
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,440
Well first, the person that we were supposed to be extracting turned out to be dead.

234
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,680
They had their throat slit in their room.

235
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:24,600
And when we were getting out, our team, like we got a little ways out of town.

236
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,600
We were just going to go meet up with our contacts, like our transport and get out after

237
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,400
what had happened.

238
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:38,280
But we ran into a sudden sandstorm and inside the sandstorm, I mean nobody believes it.

239
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,000
Nobody believes me.

240
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,720
But like the shadows made by the sandstorm were not the shadows made by the sandstorm.

241
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,640
And they were their own thing and they came for us.

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,240
And it didn't matter what we did.

243
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,680
We couldn't, like shooting them didn't do anything.

244
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:07,040
I mean at one point, at one point Pete threw, he lobbed a flashbang out to try to dissipate

245
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,640
it like with light.

246
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,880
And I still have nightmares about what I saw and they were fully lit up.

247
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:24,440
The creatures, the shadows, they got James who was the person who had bought the coin

248
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,440
and then the storm died.

249
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Okay.

250
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,480
And did the coin disappear with James or no?

251
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,600
The coin was on the floor of the truck.

252
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,600
Okay.

253
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,600
And I have it now.

254
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,600
Okay.

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600
I haven't ever actually touched it with my hands.

256
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,240
I pick it up like with a, like I wrapped it in a handkerchief when I saw it and shoved

257
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,640
it in my pack.

258
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,920
If I don't touch it, it can't hurt me, but I have to know what happened.

259
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,040
I have to know how this happened.

260
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,160
So you wake up in the morning super early, like what?

261
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,840
Five thirties you think?

262
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,000
Yeah, something like that.

263
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,920
And you hear the sound of movement in your living room.

264
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,920
Okay.

265
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,440
Well, I grab a gun that I keep in the, I have a thumbprint safe right?

266
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,000
Like a nine millimeter or something?

267
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Yeah, just like a standard home protection kind of pistol.

268
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,520
And so I grab it out of the safe under my bed and go slowly and carefully to find out

269
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,440
who the fuck is in my house.

270
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,720
When you go out to the living room, there's no lights on.

271
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:33,760
The sun is, I mean, like there's that really early pre-dawn kind of, it's going to be brighter

272
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,360
soon, but it's not quite there yet.

273
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:43,080
And you see that the bathroom door is open and there's a light on and you know you shut

274
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,080
it.

275
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280
I'm going to go around and kind of peek around.

276
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:54,840
So you peek around the door and you don't see anybody in the bathroom, but your tub

277
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:02,800
is halfway filled with sand and the coin is sitting unwrapped away from where you put

278
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,520
it in the center of that sand.

279
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,840
Fuck, fuck, fuck.

280
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Can I get a sand check from you?

281
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,800
Yeah, absolutely.

282
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,400
Well, I got a 24.

283
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,560
Excellent.

284
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,520
So you take no sand loss and what do you want to do?

285
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,680
I'm going to grab the hand towel or bath towel or whatever is right there and grab the coin

286
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,640
with it and scramble back into my room and shove the coin into my gun safe.

287
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:38,680
Okay, so as you're reaching for the coin with the hand towel, you see behind you casting

288
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:47,320
a shadow on the wall, two hands and a humanoid figure start to reach down for your throat

289
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,320
from behind.

290
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,440
I'm going to duck down, like sharply bend.

291
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,440
All right.

292
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,800
To try to evade their grasp.

293
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,680
You drop down and kind of see what's going on and like, because it's a bathroom, you're

294
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,440
like, it's not a huge bathroom.

295
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Yeah, I don't live in the Ritz.

296
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Right, exactly.

297
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,000
You look around real quick and you see that there is no one there.

298
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,640
You've got this.

299
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,640
You've got this.

300
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,920
You just have to hold on long enough to find out what happened to James.

301
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440
What happened to all of us.

302
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,440
Just have to figure it out.

303
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,440
It'll be okay.

304
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Locking it up.

305
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,440
Locking it up.

306
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Okay, you grab the coin with the towel and make it back to your gun safe.

307
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:36,160
You put it in there and in your hurry, you're in the other room.

308
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,740
You have a light switch in the bathroom, but it's also one of those older bathrooms where

309
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:47,680
you can also pull the little light switch on the actual light and you hear that sound

310
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,000
of it turn off as you're putting the coin in the gun safe.

311
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,880
And I'm just, I'm like, going to call out, fuck you.

312
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,240
We didn't do anything to you.

313
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Leave me alone.

314
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,640
There's a lot of the sounds of like crickets and things like that, like thick crickets.

315
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280
You have, you're from New Orleans, so you know, you know what that sound is.

316
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,280
Yeah, I know the deep south.

317
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Yeah, yeah.

318
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,120
You know that, but that's all you hear.

319
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:19,040
James, I'm not going to let you down.

320
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,040
I'm not going to.

321
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,040
I'm going to figure this out.

322
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,200
I'm going to get my damn life back together.

323
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,600
And this morning, instead of coffee or with my coffee, I'm going to have a healthy shot

324
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,600
of whiskey.

325
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,000
It's a good way to get your life back together.

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Absolutely.

327
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,840
The morning, morning whiskey is a great way to start that health regimen we all want.

328
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,920
It's medicinal.

329
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,280
So at some point, do you go back into the restroom, back into the bathroom?

330
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,280
The sand is gone.

331
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,920
Yeah, it saves me from having to clean it up.

332
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,920
Exactly.

333
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,840
And like just a really long sip of my Irish coffee.

334
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Okay, cool.

335
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:07,600
So Parker, yes, you were going to do some research on this black cod fishery, correct?

336
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Yep.

337
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Well, there's actually a small island literally off the coast, not far, maybe 20 minutes away

338
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,440
from Edna Bay called Black Cod Island.

339
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:26,200
And it is associated with a indigenous tribe, the Hydaea tribe, basically owns the entire

340
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560
island, but it's basically their native lands.

341
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:36,400
And you do research and you find that there's been a split in the tribe and some of them

342
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,400
are still living on Black Cod Island.

343
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,400
But then there's a large contingent of the younger people who have moved to Edna Bay

344
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,160
and have opened up this fishery.

345
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:56,240
They are working for a conglomerate, some huge like craft or whatever to basically go

346
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,000
out and process local fish.

347
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,720
And then they send like a thousand pounds a month.

348
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,980
So they're processing a good amount through there.

349
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:09,120
There's not a lot of information though on the actual owners.

350
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:13,080
You do not think that the owners are from this tribe.

351
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,320
Got it.

352
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:20,760
You are guessing that they are probably from, like I said, one of these big food conglomerates.

353
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,880
There's not a lot of information.

354
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:30,500
And a few months after they opened the fishery, there's this talk of this holy man.

355
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:38,600
And they never say what his name is, but he basically has these people that follow him

356
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,880
and it kind of has a Jim Jones feel to it.

357
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,640
That's not good.

358
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,600
No, it's not.

359
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:53,400
He's very charismatic, but there's not a lot of information about him.

360
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,760
And you're not quite sure how he's recruiting.

361
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:02,840
He didn't have a church in Boston, you know, or whatever for 10 years before he moved them

362
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,840
all to.

363
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:10,360
They've just show up as if drawn to this tiny island.

364
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:17,280
Before the fishery opened, there was literally 50 to 75 people there and it was just a mail

365
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,520
point.

366
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,560
Mail would come in from smaller communities and then it would go out from Edna Bay.

367
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,960
That is not what I thought you meant by mail point.

368
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:34,260
You're looking at all this and you're like, okay, you don't really see a connection between

369
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:37,740
this guy and the fishery.

370
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:41,520
You're not sure if there's a connection.

371
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Are there any pictures of him?

372
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Is anything actionable?

373
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:52,200
Everything is his back or he's being obscured by somebody because there's pictures of the

374
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:58,080
cult on the internet, but it's always other people.

375
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,040
Which is very odd for someone running a cult of personality.

376
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,040
Yeah.

377
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,040
I call up my buddy Jake.

378
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Okay.

379
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,040
I was figuring he'd be giving a call.

380
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,440
I didn't know when they were going to be delivering that piece of information to you.

381
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,440
Yeah, yeah.

382
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:19,360
It arrived this morning and I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out a few things,

383
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,120
but why don't you tell me, where did you come across this?

384
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:24,680
Jake is part of Delta Green as well.

385
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Well, so we know you've been searching for your wife, obviously, and there's been an

386
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,520
open order to keep an eye out for any information that comes across.

387
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,960
Now just out of character real quick, Delta Green is incredibly segmented.

388
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,960
The reason that is, is because if you go cuckoo banana pants, they don't want you infecting

389
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,640
a bunch of other people or causing damage to a bunch of other people.

390
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,920
They keep everything very segmented to contain knowledge.

391
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,920
Got it.

392
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:04,520
So yeah, when you joined on, they kind of put out this order saying if they saw this

393
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,080
person to report it in.

394
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,680
Anyway, it came up.

395
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:16,840
I guess there was some kind of investigation going on out there due to the fact that all

396
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,040
of a sudden this cult popped up in the middle of nowhere.

397
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,920
They basically wanted to send people out there to find out what was going on.

398
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,120
I don't have any information about what happened to that investigation, but this picture came

399
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,560
back and I was pretty sure it was her.

400
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
So I thought I'd pass it on to you.

401
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:47,920
If I'm being honest with you, I think that there's probably a pretty strong request in

402
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,920
that picture.

403
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,920
Yeah.

404
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,880
I was thinking that, but I wanted to get a sense of what I was getting into.

405
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,160
What happened to the team that was doing the investigation?

406
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,160
Come on, man.

407
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,160
You know they don't tell us that shit.

408
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,160
Yep.

409
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,160
Yep.

410
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,160
Yep.

411
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,160
All right.

412
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,160
Well, okay.

413
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,160
Well, I guess I know what I need to do next anyway.

414
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,160
Right.

415
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,160
Well, be careful and get in touch with your handler.

416
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,160
Yep.

417
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,960
And before you go out there, just let them know.

418
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000
I think it's a little shitty to do it this way.

419
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,360
They should have just said, hey, we need you to go out there, but you know.

420
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:24,360
Yeah.

421
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:28,920
Well, listen, I'm at least glad to have a little, you know, a little forewarning is

422
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,920
better than none.

423
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,920
Well, be careful.

424
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,920
All right.

425
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Thanks, Jake.

426
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,920
No problem, man.

427
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,920
All right.

428
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,460
So what do you want to do?

429
00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:38,460
How do you want to proceed?

430
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:42,360
Well, I go upstairs and start packing a bag.

431
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:43,480
Okay.

432
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,160
I guess I'll call my handler.

433
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,160
You want to call ostrich.

434
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,160
Ostrich.

435
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:56,960
Just so you know, as a GM, if the players pick something, I lean into it hard.

436
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960
So that's always good.

437
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,960
That's what we like.

438
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:00,960
That's all we ask for.

439
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,400
That's all we ask for.

440
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,160
If you guys, if you guys go a certain way, I'm just going to go with you and just be

441
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,160
like, all right, that's where we're going.

442
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,160
All right.

443
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,160
Let's do it.

444
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,160
Ostrich.

445
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,160
Yes.

446
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,160
Ocelot.

447
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,880
Nice to hear from you.

448
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,520
It is a pleasure.

449
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:27,960
So I got a picture here taken in Edna Bay, Alaska.

450
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,440
Okay.

451
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,640
And I guess I'm planning to go there.

452
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,880
Well, yes, we had Jake send it to you.

453
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:43,040
It wasn't my idea of how to entice you to go there, but the last set of people that

454
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,720
were sent out that way didn't make it back, unfortunately.

455
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,720
Oh.

456
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,920
It's a dangerous mission, but they all are, you know.

457
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,920
Of course.

458
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Of course.

459
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,720
I mean, that's why we do them, right?

460
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,720
Because of the danger.

461
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,720
Yes.

462
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:04,240
And obviously this cult, from what we've been able to tell, is able to call people

463
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,800
from across the globe.

464
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,000
They don't even have an Instagram account.

465
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
It's very different.

466
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Oh my.

467
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Wow.

468
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,640
And without an Instagram account, that's unheard of.

469
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:26,880
Well, we want to try to find out what's going on, if the fishery is involved at all.

470
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,840
And we saw that your wife was out there.

471
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
We know you've been looking for her.

472
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Yeah.

473
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,400
I mean, I have to say, you know, you hit the nail on the head there.

474
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:42,000
I don't necessarily appreciate this sort of handling, you know.

475
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,760
While I'm glad to know that she's there, I'm glad you didn't just send me blindly to the

476
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,760
wolves.

477
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,000
You know, I would have liked to have heard it from you.

478
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,360
I know, I know.

479
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:57,360
I usually would like to tell you straight, but I have people above me as well.

480
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,760
And for some reason, they felt that this was the way to go.

481
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
I don't always agree with them.

482
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,760
And I apologize.

483
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,480
I really do.

484
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,920
It is what it is.

485
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,920
So we live with it.

486
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,680
But you know, you can let them know.

487
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,640
I understand we're a covert operation, but sometimes all this cloak and dagger nonsense

488
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,640
is...

489
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,640
Nonsense?

490
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,640
I know.

491
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,240
They do treat us like cogs sometimes, and I apologize for that, you know.

492
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,240
It's very difficult.

493
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,240
It is.

494
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,240
All right.

495
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Well, nonetheless, I guess I am getting on a plane.

496
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,480
Not by yourself.

497
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,480
What?

498
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Well, you can't go by yourself.

499
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880
Why?

500
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,080
Because we deal with supernatural things that...

501
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Any backup, of course.

502
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,080
And Osprey is, you know, not doing anything right now.

503
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,080
And we both know what that means.

504
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,080
Yes, we...

505
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,080
We meet at all hours in the morning.

506
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,080
She is that way even when she has better things to do.

507
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,080
True.

508
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,080
No one else available, huh?

509
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Well, she's very...

510
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Look, she's...

511
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,080
She's very reliable.

512
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,080
She's just a little bit drunk.

513
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,080
Drunk is the opposite of reliable, but again, if...

514
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,080
She's the only one you've got at this point, unfortunately.

515
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:29,080
If you insist, then I guess I'm going with Osprey.

516
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,080
Well, I...

517
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Well, I mean, it's better than a rookie.

518
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,080
Is it?

519
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Is it, though?

520
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,080
It is.

521
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Okay.

522
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Well, like I said, I'm sorry they decided to do this, but, you know, good luck and keep

523
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,080
in touch.

524
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,080
Yep.

525
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Ours not the reason why, I suppose.

526
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,080
I'll call you once we've...

527
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,080
We touch down in Alaska.

528
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,080
Okay.

529
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,080
That sounds good.

530
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Bye, darling.

531
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Bye.

532
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:11,600
I note to myself, we didn't actually talk about how I'm to get to Alaska and who is

533
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,800
paying for my ticket.

534
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Oh, they pay.

535
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,800
They pay for everything.

536
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:15,800
They'll have...

537
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,800
A jet?

538
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,440
No, you're not.

539
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080
At least business class, so it's not too terrible.

540
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Okay.

541
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,080
All right.

542
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Fine.

543
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,080
So how many drinks do you have of your Irish coffee?

544
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,280
Are you just having one or a couple?

545
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,280
I'm just going to do one.

546
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Okay.

547
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,280
And then work it out.

548
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,880
You mean like go for a run?

549
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:36,880
Yeah.

550
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Okay.

551
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,800
So we'll say that you go for your run a few hours past because obviously no parent gets

552
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,560
up at 530 unless they have to, just speaking from experience.

553
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,960
And we'll say Parker will give you a call after he gets off the phone with Ostrich,

554
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,800
who if you didn't figure out is a nice older woman.

555
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Mm-hmm.

556
00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,800
Lovely.

557
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,800
Lovely.

558
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,480
So yeah, I pick up the phone and I call Osprey.

559
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,480
Yeah?

560
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,480
What's that?

561
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,480
I need to multi-hear from you.

562
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Listen, Osprey, it is what it is.

563
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,320
We've got a mission.

564
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,320
What wild goose hunt are they sending us on this time?

565
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,320
Edna Bay, Alaska.

566
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Yeah, I could go for somewhere cold.

567
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,320
All right.

568
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,320
Be prepared to eat a lot of cod, apparently.

569
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,320
To Alaska?

570
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,320
I mean, don't they have crabs or something?

571
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,320
Apparently, yeah.

572
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:30,440
Apparently, not.

573
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,960
Apparently, this island is all about the fish.

574
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,320
So prepare for plenty of fish.

575
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320
All right.

576
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,760
I'll pack some turnalobars.

577
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Good idea.

578
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,200
The car will be around soon.

579
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,200
How hot are we going in?

580
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,200
Mm.

581
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Well, they've already sent a team that didn't come back, but it looks like the situation

582
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,080
on the ground, it's not, you know, open warfare.

583
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Okay.

584
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,080
See you.

585
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,080
Yep.

586
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,560
See you at the gate.

587
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:09,220
So usually what they do is they'll have the cash of whatever weapons you usually use and

588
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:13,880
you'll get like money, you know, petty cash and all that stuff.

589
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:20,720
And the way that they do that is they have people in all different branches of the government

590
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,720
moving money around.

591
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:29,400
Now you guys are part of the project, which is your branch, Delta Green, is sanctioned

592
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,480
by the government.

593
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,120
So you guys have government spending money, which is a lot.

594
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:42,280
We're going to fast forward to you guys do the trip, you eat the peanuts and you make

595
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,760
your way out there.

596
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,720
I 100% did not count every drink Osprey had.

597
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,740
Now we have been joking a little bit, but does Osprey drink a lot or just?

598
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:56,740
It's not a ton.

599
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:59,140
I mean, she's still an alcoholic.

600
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:04,360
It's not fall down, you know, very type of an abusive dad situation.

601
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,480
She's a high functioning alcoholic.

602
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Right.

603
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:14,440
You guys make it out there and it is early September and the difference between early

604
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:23,760
September here in lovely Southern California and there is that up there is actually cold.

605
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,560
Leaves are starting to change.

606
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,240
I mean, there's a lot of like evergreens.

607
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,680
There's you know, you have to fly into a larger city and then take a boat to Edna Bay.

608
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640
You land on Prince of Wales Island.

609
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,040
Thank you, England.

610
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,280
You have to take a boat around the Horn to Edna Bay.

611
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,680
It almost looks like I don't know if you guys have ever seen deadwood, but it kind of has

612
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:56,620
that feel of like they just threw up wood buildings really fast and it kind of looks

613
00:31:56,620 --> 00:32:03,940
like a Wild West silver town that is on the grow, you know, and there is this facility

614
00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:09,560
at the back of town that is obviously the fishery.

615
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:17,200
And there are quite a few of these cultists and I use the word cultist with in Cthulhu

616
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:23,680
cultists means somebody that's actively worshiping a god of whatever.

617
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,680
I'm using cultists as in the 70s cults and stuff like that.

618
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,920
Just to discern the difference for people.

619
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:37,200
You guys get there, you've got all your stuff and you do get kind of a rundown of general

620
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,240
information.

621
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:45,560
The last team came in and they reported that they were going to check out the fishery at

622
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,240
night and then weren't ever heard from again.

623
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:55,160
There were three people, they were heavily armed and something went terribly wrong.

624
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,800
They tried to get close to the compound where the cultists are, but kept getting turned

625
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,940
back by security and whatever.

626
00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:09,760
So they went in on the first night and reported back that there was something like 50 makeshift

627
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:15,960
huts that they had put together and it looked like none of the tribes people seemed to be

628
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,720
involved with the cult at all.

629
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:24,680
There seemed to be about a hundred to two hundred people, they couldn't get a good head

630
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,800
count and more people were showing up every day.

631
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:36,560
And when they show up, they have items with them, so money and luggage and all that, and

632
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:42,600
they turn it over to the cults to help pay bills.

633
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:43,600
That's the line.

634
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,160
Oh, you know, we're here.

635
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960
You don't need your earthly possessions anymore.

636
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,500
Leave them at the door and we'll turn them into love and flowers.

637
00:33:53,500 --> 00:34:01,160
The line of this particular cult is very innocuous and very like all we're trying to do is find

638
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120
a deeper meaning to life.

639
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:09,660
It does seem like there are people from all over the world showing up.

640
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:11,280
So that's the information that you got.

641
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:17,040
So they tried to get into this compound and couldn't, but got a head count.

642
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,120
And then the next night they went to the fishery and just disappeared.

643
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:26,040
All right, let's not go to the fishery.

644
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,360
That seems like a bad idea.

645
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Is there like a bar in town?

646
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Oh, yeah.

647
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,480
Yeah, you can go there.

648
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Definitely.

649
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,840
I mean, I figure that's a good place to start.

650
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,800
We should probably start chatting up the locals and try to get a little more sort of human

651
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,520
intelligence before we rush into the gap here.

652
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,520
Right.

653
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:48,520
Right.

654
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,240
I mean, is this a let me ask you, is this is this the kind of deal that we're sort of

655
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:57,120
required to identify ourselves as federal agents or can we?

656
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,120
No, no.

657
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,120
Oh, yeah.

658
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,120
Awesome.

659
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,120
Just one.

660
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
So you can lie as much as you want.

661
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Let's go do some lying.

662
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Okay.

663
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,400
Find out some information.

664
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,080
The last thing they want you to do is go Delta Green or whatever.

665
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,080
Clandestine.

666
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,080
Yeah, exactly.

667
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:21,880
Hi, I'm from Delta Green and I want all your Cthulhu information now.

668
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,960
Point me to the spookiest person available.

669
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:24,960
Thank you.

670
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,960
There's a guy in the corner with his hands like this.

671
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Welcome.

672
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Welcome.

673
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:37,080
So, yeah, so no, I once we're sort of settled, I contact Osprey and say, OK, let's try to

674
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,680
do some recon.

675
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,560
Maybe take a walk around the town and look for a bar or a coffee shop or something.

676
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,720
OK, try to talk to the locals.

677
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:46,720
All right.

678
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:49,880
So you guys are set up at a bed and breakfast.

679
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,720
It's really the only place in town.

680
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,460
They're literally building a hotel right now.

681
00:35:55,460 --> 00:35:59,260
So the bed and breakfast is the only place for you guys to stay.

682
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:06,440
And unfortunately, it is not the most ideal place in the world for two people who don't

683
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,000
necessarily want to even be in the same plane with each other.

684
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,480
And the lady running it seems very nice.

685
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,360
Her name's Charlotte and she assumes that you guys are married.

686
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,160
I don't know if you tell her that you're not or that are we sharing a room?

687
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,160
Yes.

688
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,800
Delta Green was only able to get one room.

689
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Is that more than one bed?

690
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,120
No.

691
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,800
You sleep in the bed.

692
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,560
I can sleep on the floor.

693
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,560
We can swap out.

694
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Whatever.

695
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,560
It's fine.

696
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,560
I'll sleep on the floor.

697
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,040
I've done worse.

698
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,040
You take the bed.

699
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,040
We both have.

700
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,720
Stop being such a martyr about it.

701
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:47,960
Who was being...

702
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,160
We'll swap out.

703
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,160
I can take you tonight.

704
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,160
You can take the bed tomorrow.

705
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,160
They changed the sheets.

706
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,160
Whatever.

707
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Don't worry about it.

708
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,160
Whatever.

709
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,160
It's fine.

710
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,520
So how do you want to play this?

711
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:04,520
Well, I guess the easiest way to do it would just be that we came because we heard about

712
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,280
the new religious group.

713
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,280
And we're interested in joining up, but we're not 100% sure yet.

714
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,680
We wanted to get the lay of the land before we made a commitment.

715
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Okay.

716
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:22,280
I mean, I'm a little worried about us getting into the compound and having to give up our

717
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,400
worldly possessions.

718
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,400
You know what I mean?

719
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,840
How many worldly possessions did you bring with you?

720
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,620
I'm thinking of a very particular kind of worldly possession that would make getting

721
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:33,520
out of trouble a little easier.

722
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,440
I don't think penises work that way.

723
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,440
Wow.

724
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:43,800
I don't even, I can't even, I don't even know where to start.

725
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,800
I don't even, I don't even.

726
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,800
Fine.

727
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,640
I mean, do we just walk up to the door and say, hi, we'd like to join your cult?

728
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,720
No, I'm saying we go like to the bar and ask people about it, but tell them like, that's

729
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:02,240
how we heard about them and we're interested, but we're a little unsure before we approach

730
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:03,240
them.

731
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:05,240
We want to know if they're like ax murders.

732
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:06,240
All right.

733
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:07,240
That's fair.

734
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:08,240
Let's do that.

735
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:14,600
Are we doing this as husband and wife or just friends?

736
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,280
We might as well keep up this marriage thing, I guess.

737
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:24,040
Seeing as the woman downstairs has probably already told her 17,000 closest friends about

738
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,040
it.

739
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,040
Fair point.

740
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,040
All right.

741
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,800
You'd think, I mean, it's a bed and breakfast.

742
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,840
You'd think they'd have more rooms available.

743
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,840
You would think.

744
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,200
You would think, you know.

745
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,400
But apparently not.

746
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,520
So that's fine.

747
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,180
That's a fine cover.

748
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:42,180
We can do this.

749
00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:45,800
You do get the feeling that you're getting fucked with a little bit.

750
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:46,800
Definitely.

751
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,800
Yeah.

752
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:53,360
Like they know that there's some tension between you two that you fight kind of, you know,

753
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,520
maybe a little tension there.

754
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,360
And so being able to say that you've been married for longer than five years is a good

755
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,360
cover for you.

756
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:08,160
Because you're just like, tell me how much I dislike you.

757
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,200
Yep.

758
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,400
I mean, it's obviously Ostrich's idea of a joke.

759
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,880
She should read fewer romance novels.

760
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,880
Yes.

761
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:28,360
Because the stuck with only one bed trope shouldn't be combined with enemies to lovers.

762
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,760
So fewer Sandra Bullock story movies.

763
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,760
All right.

764
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,760
Cool.

765
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,960
You guys head out to the bar.

766
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:44,720
The bar is called Hook and Net to go with the fish theme that the city has.

767
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:47,380
Have you guys ever been up to Big Bear?

768
00:39:47,380 --> 00:39:51,460
Every single thing up there is named after like Little Bear, Big Bear.

769
00:39:51,460 --> 00:39:53,800
That's the same thing that they're doing here.

770
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,640
Everything's like fish this, fish that, hook that, whatever.

771
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:05,720
So the bar is packed with people and people that are here to join the new religious path.

772
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:11,200
Usually they don't have shoes on or they have sandals and they, they look very stereotypical

773
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,400
of the kind of the new agey movement.

774
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,000
So how do you guys want to approach this?

775
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
What do you want to do?

776
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,280
I'm going to get us some drinks.

777
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,640
You want to find the most friendly folk?

778
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Yeah, I'm going to actually try to find a townie instead of one of the cultists.

779
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,960
I'm going to look around and see if there's, if you're going to go to the bar and see

780
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,000
if you can chat up the bartender and I'm going to look for the friendliest looking townie.

781
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600
If they got a pool table, I'll go maybe put my name up for the pool table.

782
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,440
That is probably where the most townies are.

783
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,600
So yeah, there's some, there's some people hanging out by the pool table playing.

784
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,480
You go over to the bar, Osprey, what do you order?

785
00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:01,720
I am small town bar, so I'll get whatever like a pint of.

786
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,920
The cult actually makes their own IPA.

787
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,440
If you want to give that a try.

788
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,560
That's disturbing in the extreme, but the IPA isn't for me.

789
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,560
It's for Ocelot.

790
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,520
I'm getting a double well whiskey.

791
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:25,760
So they turn around and they take your money and they put down the two drinks and then

792
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,200
they put your change next to the two drinks.

793
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,480
And as you're reaching for it, you notice that the coin is sitting there on top of the

794
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:41,460
two bills that you left in your gun case all the way back in Virginia.

795
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:44,240
And that's where we're going to stop it for tonight.

796
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:48,120
Oh my.

797
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,060
So thank you guys so much.

798
00:41:50,060 --> 00:41:51,520
That was a lot of fun.

799
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,480
Where on the internet can people find you too?

800
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:57,820
We'll start with Jay.

801
00:41:57,820 --> 00:42:01,480
The best place to find me on the internet is on the Twitter's at Jay Holtham.

802
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,360
You can find me on most socials at that number.

803
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,360
Awesome.

804
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,960
I am Pooja and you can find me on Twitter at LADC girl.

805
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:16,120
That's L A D E S I girl and everywhere else as Forgotten Saves.

806
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,640
Well thank you guys so much for playing.

807
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,960
I really appreciate it.

808
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,320
And thanks to everyone listening.

809
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,960
Thank you for being Patreon backers.

810
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,200
We really appreciate the support.

811
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:51,680
We will hopefully talk to you very soon with part two of this little adventure.

812
00:42:51,680 --> 00:43:09,580
Drive home button.

813
00:43:09,580 --> 00:43:11,580
You
