00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,680
Welcome to Agents Dossier, a Delta Green actual play series brought to you by 12 Sided Stories.

2
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:38,680
And now your GM, Wes Otis.

3
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:49,040
Hey everybody.

4
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,240
Welcome to Agents Dossier.

5
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
I have some cool players with us.

6
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Let's start with Pooja.

7
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:03,960
Hi, I'm Pooja and I am playing Neha Singh, who is being haunted by a coin that she thought

8
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,120
she left in a different state in a safe.

9
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,120
Hi y'all.

10
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,120
I'm playing Parker F. Allen, also known as Ocelot, a former FBI agent now working for

11
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Delta Green.

12
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,560
And I'm trying to find my wife, sort of on the down low, who may be somewhere in this

13
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,000
town in the hands of a cult or maybe there are more.

14
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,960
And just in case it becomes relevant, who is our special guest?

15
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:28,960
Pooja?

16
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:29,960
Our guest is Frieda.

17
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:30,960
Frieda is my kitty.

18
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,920
She likes to knead on my face.

19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,120
If possible, I will try to get a picture of Frieda for the Patreon people so you can see

20
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,120
the kitty.

21
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Oh, trust me.

22
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,860
I have hundreds.

23
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:48,880
So last time we got together, you guys were in Virginia.

24
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:56,620
You basically hadn't had any projects or things that you were doing in a while.

25
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:58,600
You hadn't worked for Delta Green.

26
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,380
And basically, Parker, you got this envelope with a picture of your wife and this cult

27
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:08,320
and this strange guy with his back to the pictures all the time.

28
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,800
No one can say who he is.

29
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000
No one has a lot of information about him.

30
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,200
But your wife's been missing for a while.

31
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,440
And you find out that this is basically a long play to get you to go out there, Delta

32
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Greens being cagey as usual.

33
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,840
And so you ended up hopping on a plane and your code name was Ocelot, correct?

34
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Yes, Ocelot.

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Okay.

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,880
You took yourself and your teammates Osprey.

37
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,280
You guys went all the way out to Alaska to Edna Bay to find out more about this cult.

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,260
You also were told that another team had gone out but had disappeared.

39
00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:48,920
And so you guys got a room at a bed and breakfast.

40
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,400
This place is growing.

41
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,040
It started with 75 people.

42
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,480
It's now at 300.

43
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,900
So there's a lot of people moving in.

44
00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:02,940
Half the city is working at the cannery, which is employing a huge amount of people.

45
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:09,680
The other half of the city are these religious cultists or new age people who are looking

46
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,360
for enlightenment at this compound that's not very far from the city, from the town,

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,360
I should say.

48
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,080
The town feels like a gold rush town or whatever.

49
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,820
The streets are not completely paved.

50
00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:24,600
There's a lot of dirt everywhere.

51
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Buildings are being thrown up very quickly as all of this new money comes in.

52
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,580
You guys are at a bar called The Hook and Net.

53
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,120
That was another thing.

54
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Most of the places are named after either some kind of fishing or sailor regalia.

55
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Parker you were looking for a place to go and play pool and try to talk with some of

56
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,920
the locals.

57
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:57,080
So Neha, you went to the bar and ordered a whiskey for yourself and a cultist IPA for

58
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Parker.

59
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,120
They gave you change and on the top was the coin that you had left in Virginia.

60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
That was very disconcerting to you.

61
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
We're going to start off with a sanity roll.

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,520
Go ahead and give me one and let me know what you get.

63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Okay.

64
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Let's do the thing.

65
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,520
That went poorly.

66
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Okay.

67
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,520
So let's see.

68
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Let me roll real quick.

69
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,520
All right.

70
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,520
So not too bad.

71
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,520
You take two points.

72
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,520
You're shaking.

73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,840
What do you do in response to this coin sitting there?

74
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,280
I'm going to swipe it, gather up the bills that are underneath it so that I can basically

75
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:35,280
not touch it to my skin.

76
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,280
It can't touch my skin.

77
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,280
It can't touch my skin.

78
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,280
Look at the bartender.

79
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,280
Where did you get that?

80
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,280
Where did you get that?

81
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,280
Just in the till ma'am.

82
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:43,280
Did you touch it?

83
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,280
Well, I mean I picked it up to hand it to you.

84
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:46,280
Oh my God.

85
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:47,280
We got to go.

86
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,280
We got to go.

87
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,280
We got to go.

88
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,840
And I'm going to run over to, I'm going to run over to Ocelot on a

89
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,840
I'm just going to grab you and it's like, we got to get out of here.

90
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:57,840
We got to get out of here right now.

91
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,840
We got to go.

92
00:04:58,840 --> 00:04:59,840
We got to go.

93
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,840
We got to go.

94
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:01,840
What are you talking about?

95
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,840
We just got here.

96
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:03,840
Trust me on this.

97
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,840
We do not want to be here right now.

98
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:07,840
Why?

99
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:08,840
It's it's it.

100
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:09,840
I'll explain.

101
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:10,840
I'll explain once we get out of here, please.

102
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,840
Please.

103
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:12,840
Okay.

104
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:13,840
Okay.

105
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:14,840
Okay.

106
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,840
Fine.

107
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:16,840
Let's go.

108
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,840
Leave the way and just like dash back to the bed and breakfast.

109
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:20,840
Okay, cool.

110
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:21,840
Yeah.

111
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,840
You get back to the bed and breakfast and you run upstairs.

112
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:27,840
Do you want to explain yourself to your partner?

113
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,840
So I don't know how much anybody I mean, how much do you know about why I am in Delta Green?

114
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:35,840
Nothing.

115
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:36,840
You know, they don't tell us anything.

116
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:38,840
Do you have any idea why I'm in Delta Green?

117
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,840
I didn't until like, you know, we came here looking for your wife.

118
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:43,840
Yeah.

119
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,840
So I mean, people have their, you know, oh God, I don't know how to say it.

120
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,840
Just say it.

121
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:56,840
And I'm going to pull the kind of wadded handful of bills out of my pocket and let it drop

122
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:57,840
onto the table.

123
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:58,840
Okay.

124
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:04,840
So this small coin falls out and Parker, the first thing that you notice about it is you

125
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,840
can just feel that it's old.

126
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,840
It's like it has its own aura, but it doesn't really look all that old.

127
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:12,840
It looks pretty well preserved.

128
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:13,840
What is that?

129
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:14,840
Don't touch it.

130
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,840
Don't ever let it touch you.

131
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,840
Let it touch your skin.

132
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:19,840
Okay.

133
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:20,840
Okay.

134
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:21,840
Why is it here?

135
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,840
What?

136
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:23,840
What is what?

137
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,840
Why?

138
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,840
I don't know, but I know that I left it in a safe in my apartment in Virginia.

139
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,840
And it followed you here.

140
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:31,840
Looks like it.

141
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,840
Man, I should have taken a bottle of whiskey with me.

142
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:35,840
Okay.

143
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,840
I could use a drink right now too.

144
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:41,840
So I'm going to raid whatever mini bar there might be in this B&B.

145
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,840
There's a 50-50 chance on the luck roll.

146
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,840
Just give me a luck roll, see if you can find any booze.

147
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,840
Well, I got a 27.

148
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:49,840
Excellent.

149
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:50,840
There's booze.

150
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:51,840
Yes.

151
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,840
Lots of booze.

152
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,840
I can roll well when it counts.

153
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,840
So you guys start dipping into the...

154
00:06:58,840 --> 00:06:59,840
Yep.

155
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:00,840
Let's start drinking.

156
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:01,840
All right.

157
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,840
My last mission went completely fucked.

158
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:05,840
Oh, geez.

159
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,840
And this thing is why, somehow.

160
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:08,840
This coin is why.

161
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:09,840
And you kept it?

162
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,840
After a while, I didn't have a choice.

163
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Okay.

164
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
At the time, I just wanted to know why.

165
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,840
And I still want to know why.

166
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,840
I still need to know why, but I also can't get rid of it.

167
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,840
And something, I don't know, something's attached to it.

168
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Something's possessing it.

169
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,840
I don't know.

170
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,840
I haven't been able to find much out.

171
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,840
And I mean, I don't sleep much anymore.

172
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,840
It's getting impatient.

173
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Okay.

174
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Do you need to go home?

175
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,840
No, I don't think that would help.

176
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,840
I never drain the sand out of my bathtub.

177
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,840
I have a lot of questions, but not enough time to unpack everything that you just said.

178
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840
I have no answers, so might as well keep it to yourself.

179
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Yep.

180
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,840
That's what I was going for.

181
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Okay.

182
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Okay.

183
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,840
So do you think this has anything to do with this cult, with why we're here, or is it just

184
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,840
following you?

185
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,840
I don't know.

186
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,840
But I do know that the bartender at that bar took the coin out of the cash register to

187
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,840
give it to me.

188
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Okay.

189
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,840
And the last time somebody touched this thing, nightmare doesn't really begin to...

190
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Nightmares are normal.

191
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,840
Everybody has nightmares.

192
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Whatever the hell is attached to this thing is beyond.

193
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,840
There's nothing we could do.

194
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,840
I'm going to ask this.

195
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840
I know the answer probably, but I'm just going to ask it anyway.

196
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,840
You are 100% sure it's the same coin.

197
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,840
How many ancient coins just travel around and circulate?

198
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:32,840
I don't know.

199
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,840
Do you?

200
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,840
I mean, I had never seen this one until I went overseas.

201
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Okay.

202
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,840
I'm just saying.

203
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:47,840
Like, I know every tiny scratch, every discoloration, every bit of it.

204
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,840
So this is either the coin that came out of my safe or it has a fucking doppelganger.

205
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,840
Okay.

206
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,840
All right.

207
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,840
Fine.

208
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,840
Like I said, I figured that was going to be the answer, but I'm just trying to make sure.

209
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,840
So then what do you want to do about this?

210
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Because we still have a job here.

211
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,840
We still have a thing to do.

212
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,840
You said you're not going home.

213
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,840
We have this coin.

214
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,840
What are we supposed to do with it now?

215
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,840
Does the room have a safe?

216
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Yes.

217
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,840
Okay.

218
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,840
I can try logging it up in the safe here.

219
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,840
But you locked it up in a safe in Virginia.

220
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,840
I don't know if it can't get that far away from me.

221
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,840
Okay.

222
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,840
But I definitely don't want to carry it in my pocket while we deal with whatever the hell is going on here.

223
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,840
So I just pray that it's close enough that it'll calm the fuck down.

224
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Or maybe it'll go to sleep or something now that it's traveled this far.

225
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,840
I've my notes, but okay.

226
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:49,840
So just so you know, it is from more than likely the Mesopotamian area, Akkadian, which is a dynasty.

227
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:57,840
It was like one of the first empires from about 2350 BCE to about 2100.

228
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,840
You know that it's from that period from all the research that you've done.

229
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:03,840
It is quite old.

230
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,840
You know that it's probably one of the first forms of money.

231
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,840
They would call it shekel now.

232
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,840
It's made out of silver and some other impure, probably lead or something.

233
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,840
Anyway, what do you guys want to do with all this information?

234
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,840
I mean, that's my question to Osprey.

235
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,840
I guess if you put it in your safe, that's fine.

236
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:31,840
But also, I suppose we should go back and check on the bartender and make sure the bartender has not turned into a nightmare, as you describe it.

237
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,840
That's not so much they turn into nightmares as they come for you.

238
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,840
But yeah, but yeah, I guess I guess I mean, we can't just leave them, right?

239
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,840
No.

240
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Are you sure we can't just leave them?

241
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,840
No, we've got to go and at least check.

242
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,840
Fine, fine.

243
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,840
And I just down two more of the little mini airplane bottles that they keep stock in those mini fridges.

244
00:10:50,840 --> 00:11:00,840
And I wrap the coin up like in an old tank top and shove it into the safe and say a prayer that it stays the hell there.

245
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,840
OK, best $14 you ever spent.

246
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,840
You guys make your way back to the bar.

247
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,840
And before you guys left the bar, it was loud and people were coming in and out.

248
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,840
It has one of those little porches with the wood railings.

249
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:29,840
The door is closed and just underneath the door, there is a moderate amount of sand just there.

250
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,840
Well, it's definitely the same coin.

251
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Yeah, that doesn't seem right.

252
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,840
We're in Alaska.

253
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,840
That seems out of place.

254
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,840
OK.

255
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,840
Well, you know, I'm sure beaches do have sand, too.

256
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Yeah, yeah.

257
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,840
That's that's a thing, right?

258
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Totally a thing.

259
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,840
That's yeah, does not look like beach sand.

260
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,840
And there's some moderate amount, but that's OK.

261
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,840
Let's go inside.

262
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Are there any do we hear any sounds or anything?

263
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,840
Completely quiet.

264
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,840
I'm going to grab your arm like Osala.

265
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,840
Don't touch anything.

266
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,840
OK, I think I can manage that.

267
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,840
Here we go.

268
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840
So you guys swing the door open.

269
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,840
Yep.

270
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,840
Open the door and step inside.

271
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:16,840
OK, so there is a inch of sand covering every part of this place.

272
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,840
All of the people that you left when you ran out are generally in the same area.

273
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,840
They look like they've been one sunburned to death.

274
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,840
They've been cooked or they have been drowned in sand.

275
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,840
There's probably about 20 people in here.

276
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:42,840
And the bartender is on top of the bar with his eyes just wide open.

277
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,840
And it looks like he was burned almost instantly.

278
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
And it's completely silent in here.

279
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,840
I definitely need a sand check.

280
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,840
I got a two that time.

281
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,840
I got a 66.

282
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840
OK, how much do you have in general?

283
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,840
Insanity, 60.

284
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,840
OK, so you just missed it.

285
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,840
All right.

286
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,840
I don't generally believe in this stuff, so you took kind of a big hit from this.

287
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,840
Because how the fuck did this happen?

288
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,840
These people look like they've been sunburned to death.

289
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,840
This all looks like exposure in a sandstorm.

290
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Basically, a sandstorm happened in this fucking bar.

291
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,840
How the hell did that happen?

292
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,840
You take four points.

293
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,840
So four points for my sanity?

294
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Yeah.

295
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840
Osprey, I'll say you didn't take a point because you got a two.

296
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,840
So that's a pretty good roll.

297
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,840
So we'll just leave you there.

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:36,840
But you're now standing in the middle of this bar that has a bunch of dead people in it.

299
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,840
What do you want to do?

300
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,840
I'm going to walk in.

301
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,840
I'm going to really steal myself and take whatever.

302
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,840
If I have a handkerchief or a piece of cloth or something in my pocket or just pull my shirt up over my nose and mouth.

303
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Right.

304
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,840
And walk in.

305
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,840
OK.

306
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,840
And see if there's anything by the bartender's body.

307
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,840
Parker, what's your...

308
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:02,840
What are you doing as she's walking in towards this corpse that is obviously trying to escape whatever and didn't get very far?

309
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:09,840
I mean, I guess I'm just walking through to see if there's anyone still alive or moving in any way.

310
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,840
You are walking around and...

311
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,840
Let me see.

312
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,840
No, unfortunately, nobody's alive.

313
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:18,840
OK.

314
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Like I said, it looks like they just got caught in a sandstorm like no other.

315
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840
It just hit hard.

316
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,840
Yeah.

317
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:31,840
I'm making my way back to Osprey and say, and there are no other tracks in the sand other than ours?

318
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:32,840
Yeah.

319
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Yours are the first.

320
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,840
This obviously just happened probably not long after you guys walked out the door.

321
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840
We should probably get out of here.

322
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:47,840
You walk over and in the sand written out is just a quick sentence.

323
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,840
It just says, still alive.

324
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Oh, no.

325
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Who's still alive?

326
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
I...the coin didn't originally come to me.

327
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Uh-huh.

328
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,840
One of my squad got it.

329
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Uh-huh.

330
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,840
And he was the only one we lost when they came.

331
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,840
They came for him.

332
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,840
There's no way.

333
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,840
There's no way this could be true.

334
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:16,840
There's no way that a sandstorm could have appeared localized entirely in this bar, killing everyone in it.

335
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,840
And yet...

336
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,840
Well, chalk another mystery up to this bullshit.

337
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Well, yeah.

338
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,840
So let's go before someone comes here and starts asking us very uncomfortable questions.

339
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,840
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

340
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,840
And I'm going to grab a couple of bottles.

341
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Sure.

342
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,840
From behind the bar because, like, I cannot deal with this.

343
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840
I'm not going to sleep anyway, but I might as well be drunk for it.

344
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Parker's getting a complete and full view on why exactly you drink now.

345
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,840
Nope. That makes sense. All that tracks.

346
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,840
On my way out, I'm going to scuff up our prints in the sand.

347
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Yeah. Clear our prints as we go.

348
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,840
When we step outside, is there a payphone or anything nearby?

349
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Yeah. This is an older town.

350
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,840
There was 75 people.

351
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Pacific Bell never got their phone out of here, so AT&T took it over. It's here.

352
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:14,840
All right. I dial 911 in the hopes that 911 works and just say, from far away, and sort of as best I can disguise my voice,

353
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,840
something's wrong at the bar, let the phone go so it stays on the line and walk away.

354
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Okay. No problem. So you do that.

355
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,840
Do you guys go back to your hotel or are you going to walk around the town and take a look at some of these areas?

356
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,840
What do you want to do?

357
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,840
What time of day is it now?

358
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840
You know, at this point, it's probably about six-ish.

359
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:39,840
You guys had gone there after the shift was done to kind of see if you could meet some people from the fishery.

360
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:46,840
So it's later, and I believe we had said that it was in the fall, so it's already getting dark.

361
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Right. Should be getting pretty dark.

362
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Yeah.

363
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,840
I mean, what do you want to do? Us right here, do you want to?

364
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Honestly, I want to drink until I forget everything that has happened.

365
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,840
Realistically, I've been trying to do that for six months. Hasn't worked so far.

366
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Okay.

367
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,840
Let's go by, we can change, maybe scope out the fishery.

368
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,840
I guess, yeah, I guess that's the next place to go.

369
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Let's go. Yeah, let's go back, change, get into some night gear and go check out the fishery.

370
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Okay, cool. So you guys go get changed and you do your thing and you can have goggles.

371
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,840
You can have the whole nine yards of basically spy gear, you know, usually used.

372
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,840
Are you going completely kitted out?

373
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,840
Not going completely kitted out. Just sort of basic tactical black.

374
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,840
So just in case, you know, I'm also armed this time, I'm going to make sure I've got my weapon handy.

375
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Right.

376
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Just a handgun. So at least we can possibly be like, hey, I was just out walking in all black at night in Alaska.

377
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,840
But, you know.

378
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Not holy shit, is that a ninja?

379
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Exactly.

380
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Okay, cool.

381
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:58,840
I'll take my cue from you. Just the regular gear. Oh, we could totally just be a married couple who really likes black.

382
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,840
Exactly. We're just up from New York taking in the night air.

383
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,840
It's like the Goths from Portlandia.

384
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Exactly.

385
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,840
At the beach in full black.

386
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:14,840
All right. So you guys head out. The basic layout of the fishery or the cannery or whatever.

387
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:21,840
It's got these really high eight foot tall fences with razor wires on the top.

388
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,840
And that strikes you as very odd for a fishery.

389
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:32,840
You do notice that there are a couple of security guards with dogs that are making the round around the perimeter.

390
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:39,840
And every once in a while, you see a light of somebody walking through either upstairs or downstairs.

391
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,840
So there's at least four security guards, two inside, two outside.

392
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:51,840
You guess that your last team that was here might be the reason for the sudden expansion of security.

393
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,840
Got it. Because this all looks the fencing looks new.

394
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Yeah, it looks new. Cool. Cool. Cool. Good thing I brought my wire cutters.

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Standard issue wire cutters.

396
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Yeah, that's right. Is there anything else around? Like, are we in sort of a industrial area?

397
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Is it a residential area or is it just sort of wasteland factory in the middle?

398
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,840
It's kind of it's actually because it's a fishery. It's it's close to the shore.

399
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Because they have boats that pull up to the docks and then they take it about maybe 200 yards from the docks to the fishery.

400
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,840
It's on the outskirts. Like I want to say Main Street probably has about 10 or 12 buildings on it.

401
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:37,840
The camp or the cult is is in the forest on the other side away from the bay.

402
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:44,840
The fishery is about 600 yards, 700 yards from where the city ends.

403
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:53,840
And there's just a bunch of trees between the main city, the main town and the fishery.

404
00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:03,840
So you guys are surrounded by large pine trees and it is completely black except for these big basically spotlights.

405
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,840
But there are several spots where there is not a lot of light at all.

406
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,840
It's a pretty big area because they're processing a lot of fish.

407
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Got it. I mean, yeah, would love to take sort of find a good vantage place from the woods as well.

408
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:26,840
I've got my phone, a camera phone, so I'll take plenty of pictures of the guards and the watchtower and sort of get the lay of the land.

409
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,840
All right. That's not a problem. You can do all that with no problem.

410
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,840
So you get all your pictures. Do you just want to do recon or are you guys thinking about sneaking in?

411
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,840
I think recon for tonight. Yeah. OK.

412
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Let's see how close we can get. Let's try to let's see if we can find a path that gets us close to the fence.

413
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,840
OK. Yeah. All right. Both of you give me an alertness roll.

414
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,840
All that booze went to my head. Same.

415
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,840
All the nervousness because I got an 85. That's so funny. I got an 86.

416
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:06,840
You guys are looking around for the closest way to get to this place and they have about 10 to 15 yards cleared around the fence.

417
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,840
So obviously they don't want people coming right up to the fence where there's trees.

418
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,840
And you guys get to about the tree line. There's a parking lot between you and the building.

419
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,840
So fence parking lot building and the security guards are all the way by the building right now.

420
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:29,840
And one of the dogs, as soon as you get to just the outer edge, starts to bark. OK.

421
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,840
Lesson learned. So they don't see you.

422
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,840
The dog sees you probably or has some kind of sense that you're there.

423
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,840
And you see that the dog's kind of pulling on the guy.

424
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,840
And so he starts to make his way closer to the fence.

425
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,840
Do you guys want to try to hide and see what he does or do you want to just leave?

426
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840
I want to hide and see what he does. OK. Yeah.

427
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,840
Like back up a little bit further into the tree line.

428
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,840
So he like you would have to really look or like come on this side of the fence to find us.

429
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,840
But OK. But definitely knowing what their protocol is is important.

430
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,840
Yeah. I'm not going to make you guys real stealth.

431
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,840
I'm just going to say that, you know, you're able to kind of blend in back there.

432
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:15,840
So you back up and he walks up to the side of the fence and the dogs bark.

433
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,840
It's a classic 90s German shepherd and he's barking, barking, barking.

434
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:30,840
And the guy gets on his walkie talkie and says, Jake, do me a favor and flip on the lights for the west side of the fence.

435
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:40,840
And this big floodlight comes on and it lights up the entire 10 yards between the forest and the fence and then like five yards past.

436
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,840
So these big floodlights just do their job.

437
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:49,840
And he looks around real hard. He doesn't see anything because, you know, calm down, calm down.

438
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,840
It's probably just a raccoon or something telling the dog to just, you know, chill.

439
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,840
And after good luck, he goes up and down the entire fence.

440
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,840
And then he says, all right, you can turn off the lights. I think it's just a bear or something.

441
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,840
But be on the lookout.

442
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,840
Can that escalate it quickly? From a raccoon to a bear?

443
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,840
Right, right, right. Sorry.

444
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,840
Raccoon, bear, something. Something's out there that's pissing the dog off.

445
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,840
So raccoon bears are very dangerous.

446
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Yes, they are.

447
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Yeah, that's what happens. That's the information.

448
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,840
So you know that they do have lights. They just don't turn them on unless they have to.

449
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,840
Got it. And they only turn the lights on for this side.

450
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Yeah, he made it very specific. He's all like turn on the lights for the west side.

451
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840
So that tells you that they probably have lights everywhere.

452
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,840
There's no tower or anything where someone is watching over the fence either.

453
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Got it. But it also suggests that they can be distracted.

454
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Correct. Very much so.

455
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840
All right. If you can find a raccoon bear, your goal.

456
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,840
Well, there are two of us.

457
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,840
I mean, bear coons, bear coons.

458
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,840
Bear coons, man. It's a thing. Get behind it.

459
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840
That's horrifying.

460
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,840
What do you guys want to do? You want to go back to your hotel room now?

461
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,840
Or do you want to make your way over to the cult site?

462
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Yeah, let's, I mean, we're out for the night. Let's make our way over to the cult.

463
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,840
So you guys head over and by this point, you know, you left, it was, let's say, seven o'clock when you got all together.

464
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,840
So not like everyone's asleep or anything, but still late.

465
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,840
By the time you get back over, you probably like in about nine o'clock at this point.

466
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,840
You spent a good amount of time walking and looking around.

467
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:41,840
And the cult, the cult campground is completely different from the fishery security wise there.

468
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:49,840
It is pretty dark. You see a couple of just lamps or lights that have been nailed to trees.

469
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,840
There are several different tents.

470
00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:02,840
There is one building that has been erected at the far end, which is this creepy silo looking thing.

471
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:11,840
It's it's weird looking. It's made out of like the corrugated steel and they have a pit in the center.

472
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:18,840
It's got like a fire, you know, like almost like a like a little like there's seating on all four sides

473
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,840
and then a fire thing in the middle. And it's all like what were the 70s in the 70s?

474
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:30,840
They had the living rooms that sank into the floor. Suck in living rooms. Suck in living. That's it.

475
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,840
So it's a suck in amphitheater kind of thing. So it's pretty dark.

476
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,840
And how far into this do you guys want to go?

477
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:47,840
Or are you just scoping it out with your infrared? Mostly scoping out. I didn't bring the goggles, just mostly scoping out again, taking pictures.

478
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,840
OK. Keeping sort of to the woods at the fringes of the camp.

479
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Do we see people? Are there people around?

480
00:25:53,840 --> 00:26:01,840
There are people that are walking around in different levels of undress from one tent to another.

481
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:08,840
The tents are pretty large and you do hear a lot of talking and laughing and that kind of stuff.

482
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,840
The corrugated building on the other side that kind of looks like a silo is completely dark.

483
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:21,840
And the top of it, which is a dome, the top of it is open partially and to the night sky.

484
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:30,840
OK. As much as I am tempted to be closer to the tents and try to see if I can spot my wife, I'm like that's another day's problem.

485
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,840
Right now we need to figure out what's going on here.

486
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:40,840
I'd like to move sort of through the woods around the edge to get as close to that building as possible and sort of get good reconnoiter on the silo.

487
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,840
So I am going to say this time I will like stealth checks.

488
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,840
OK. Let's see how this one goes. Not well. Not well, Bob.

489
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Oh, come on. Why are you going to ruin my good rolls?

490
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,840
I got an 84.

491
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,840
Whoa.

492
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,840
I got an 11.

493
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,840
Oh.

494
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,840
So tonight Jay is our paladin in plate mail.

495
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,840
Just tromping through the woods.

496
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840
I mean, if you wanted to be a bard.

497
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,840
So you're sneaking around and Osprey, you're you're being perfect.

498
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,840
You're making tree to tree.

499
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,840
You're like flitting between one shadow to another as if the wind is your sidewalk.

500
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,840
You suddenly hear this sound.

501
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,840
It has to be a tree branch of some sort, relatively thick that goes.

502
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,840
You suddenly hear somebody in a not not a close by tent, but it was a pretty loud.

503
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,840
It's like, wait, everyone, be quiet. Did you did you hear that?

504
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,840
And another one goes, shh, remember what he says.

505
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,840
We have to be quiet if it gets too close to the tents.

506
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,840
We don't want it to just shh.

507
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:58,840
And suddenly you hear this horrible loud close by how?

508
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,840
And that's where we're going to end the episode.

509
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,840
I'm fine. I'm fine.

510
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Everything is fine.

511
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,840
Thank you guys so much.

512
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,840
Thank you guys so much.

513
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,840
That was a lot of fun.

514
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:24,840

517

00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:41,840
Hey, you can find me generally on the socials at Jay Holtham in all the regular places.

519
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,840
And sometimes you'll find me playing games at Happy Jacks.

520
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,840
And often you'll find me here.

521
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,840
And sometimes you'll also find me on it's probably OK's Twitch channel.

522
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,840
Hi, I'm Pooja. You can find me on Twitter at L.A. Daisy Girl.

And pretty much everywhere else as Forgotten Saves.

524
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,840
And also a barely I just follow Jay around.

525
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,840
You could also find me on the Happy Jacks and probably OK's.

526
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:14,840
What's funny is if Michelle had had time to be on it's probably OK's Star Wars thing, it would have been all three of you.

527
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,840
It's like I would have had. Yeah, it would have been awesome.

528
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,840
Again, to our supporters, thank you so much.

529
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:26,840
And we will talk next time to see what happens on Agents dossier.
