Thanks for watching! Welcome to Agent's Dossier,
a Delta Green actual play series brought to you
by 12 Sided Stories. And now your GM, Wes Otis.
And welcome to Agents .ca episode number 18.
We have some wonderful players with us. Let's
start with Michelle. Hey, I'm Michelle Otis,
and I am playing Perla Ayala, a forensic anthropologist
who's a little freaked out right now. Hi, y 'all.
This is Jay playing Mars Paulson, an unattached
drifter who's just hoping to make it through.
Hi, I'm Saint or Norman Morales. Also trying
to make it through. Hi, I'm Pooja and I'm playing
Robin Porter. And damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor,
not a spy. Hey, guys, I'm Mac. I'm going to be
playing Desiree Kimball, who's a former cat burglar
and working on her wedding plans if she survives.
OK, well, last week, a lot happened. Basically,
I believe Perla and Robin were at the dig site.
And they witnessed the cube power up, zap someone,
turn them into a human balloon full of water,
probably a little jelly, and popped it. It was
decided at that point that the cube needed to
go. So they sent you to the tire factory. to
infiltrate it and figure out what the hell and
and if there was some kind of like power connection
between the cube and the tire factory you went
in were able to pop two of the human water balloons
that were posing as guards and norman he called
up the nsa and said hey i know you're following
me why don't you send some people over to help
And so six agents showed up to help out. You
all are in a lobby right now. There is a bay
of computers and there is an elevator. I believe
the power was cut by Norman. He cut the power
so you could all get in. Norman, I believe, I
think actually everybody's in the building right
now at this point, correct? Yes. Yeah, okay.
You have been told... that you've got about 20
to 30 minutes before they pull the trigger on
dropping a bomb on the cube to keep it from escalating
and doing damage to people. And Norman filled
out this thing and helped out with this fake
crisis thing to try to get as many people out.
of the blast area as possible, so there's now
a mass evacuation, but of course they'd like
to avoid that. Finally, the other thing that
we didn't really point out was the people in
Edna Bay were merged together into these creatures,
while these people seem to be transformed into
these gelatinous humans with... Gelatinous humans.
Gelatinous humans. That's a band name if I ever
heard one. Human hot pocket. Water balloons.
Spring fresh. So that's where we're starting.
The clock is ticking. Literally, you have only
so much time and you need to figure out if there's
anything here that can help to. stop this situation.
Like I said, the power's off. You do have the
ability to turn the power back on. There are
six extra agents here that you can kind of ask
to do certain tasks if you want. Agent one, two,
three, four, five, and six. So it's up to you.
What do you all want to do? So the place is set
up kind of like a laboratory, you said, now?
I mean, it's obviously no longer a tire factory.
Yeah, they're basically the top floor has been
retrofitted with like steel walls and everything.
There's a bay of computers where the security
guards were with a bunch of blank screens. So
it's obviously a security station. The top floor
doesn't seem to have much in it. But there is
a large elevator. There's actually two. There's
a main elevator by the guard post, and there
is a large elevator back by where they load the
chemicals and stuff into the building. So obviously
there is some kind of subterranean thing, a lot
like Edna Bay, which Edna Bay was a fishery that
had a huge complex underneath it. Yes, it did.
Are there any of the barrels of the chemicals
around here? Yes. Well, I think I'd like to go
check those out. Okay. And just sort of get a
sense of what they've been shipping in here and
or out. So when you go over to the barrels, there
are these bright orange barrels with red stripes
around them. They just say toxic. And then they
have this code on the top of them. Basically,
all these warnings saying don't open. And there's
a little window into the top where you can actually
see the goo kind of moving around. And inside
you see chunks of what you think is human parts
melding together, coming apart, very unstable,
just kind of flesh soup going on. So, yeah. Is
there like a manifest? Is there like a bill of
lading on there that says where it came from,
where it's going? You do find just, you know
how in will calls or whatever, there'll be a
nail with a clipboard against the wall. This
stuff is all coming from Greenland. It says it
has an address for Greenland. It doesn't have
any street name or anything else. It just says
Northern Greenland Station 35 Majestic. Okay.
Well, I'm definitely going to grab those papers.
Okay. And I think, is it worth it? Yeah. I'm
going to tell two of the agents to very carefully
move one of these barrels. Do they have a truck
or a car or a van? Yes. Yes. So we should confiscate.
at least one of these barrels and this paperwork.
Okay, so I'm going to give, because, you know,
if this is a cinematic situation, there has to
be a chance for the barrel to break. Of course.
So I'm going to give a 75 % chance that the barrel
will not break. So it's only a 25 % chance, but
I'd like you to roll it, Jay. Oh, God. Yikes,
yikes, yikes. So I have to roll above a 75? Under.
Under. So under 75. Yep. Ooh, that's a 48. All
right. So they cart one of these barrels out,
and you have the paperwork tucked away nicely.
Is there anything else you want to do? No, that's
it for now. We'll see what else is doing. Are
there any stairs that go down, or is it just
the elevators? There is a fireman's pole. Huh.
What the hell kind of place is this? I'm kidding.
There's stairs. There's stairs. Does OSHA know?
No, there are stairs. There are emergency stairs
that go down. The door itself needs power, though.
It can be pushed open from the inside. If you
come up, you can push out, but you can't open
it and go down. Okay, so we're going to need
the power restored, basically. Yeah, or someone,
something opens it, interestingly. So are we
definitely alone? No more creatures are nearby
or coming towards us at this moment? Why would
I ever tell you that? I guess I mean, can we
sense and can we hear things? Can I see? I'm
looking at my skills again. Okay. Norman, what
do your, what do your NSI eyes see? Unfortunately,
the force has failed you while you've been in
the lobby and you can't feel any disturbances.
So there's nobody around that you can see besides
the crew. Right now, everybody is there. is an
ally. I'll say that. Got it. And there's no immediate
danger that we've been ignoring. Great. Okay.
I wanted to, because I know that I told them
about Majestic, but I know that I didn't know
that much. Can I do a signet roll on Greenland
and Majestic? Perhaps I picked up some kernels
of knowledge. You can try to find out you're
going to do this from like your personal laptop
with your own hotspot and VPN kind of thing,
correct? Right. Well, it's got its own setup
that I was able to connect and disconnect the
power. So I assumed that was still. Yeah. You
have battery life and all that stuff. Yes. So
like a 60 % left. Well, no, let's roll to see
how many percentage you have left on your battery.
That sounds like. Ah, yes. Okay. Okay. Let's
do it. Roll high. Okay. All right, I set it up.
Oh, no. Okay, well, I have 26 % battery, apparently.
Uh -oh. So that could disappear in a wink. You
don't have much time. So why don't you make your
signet roll, and I'll tell you what you're able
to find. 13. All right. Yay. So what you can
glean from just a security, standpoint really
quick for the time remember you guys this is
all fast right majestic is a defunct agency that
was working according to rumors with some alien
entity and basically went rogue trying to take
over parts of the government and they were destroyed
by some Other agency that's not spoken of, which
you're guessing, is probably Delta Green. And
the fact that they're back up and running, they
used to be known as Majestic 12. They're now
just calling themselves Majestic, and they don't
seem to be attached to the federal government
at all. Crap. And do I know why Greenland? It's
remote. Okay. I'll tell them, hey, we're dealing
with aliens? No, no. Majestic isn't aliens. The
rumor is, is they were dealing with some alien
force and it all connects back into like Area
51 and that whole thing. They were created after
Area 51 as a way to explain alien life forms
and all of that. So over the years, they became
very powerful within the government and then
they went rogue and had to be taken out. How
are they associated with Delta Green? The original
Delta Green took out Majestic the first time.
Ah, okay. Right. The ones that the government
now calls the cowboys and illegal and everything
else, that branch are the ones that took out
Majestic and is still operating. Yeah. I mean,
there's more to Delta Green than Russ and his
ilk would have you believe. Those were the people
who brought me in on this. The original? The
original set. They've broken off. It's a splinter
group now. And if we survive this, I will tell
you all about it. Survival is key. I think in
the meantime, we need to get the power back on
so that our friends at the NSA can search the
computers and mine what they need to mine. And
we can figure out what's downstairs and if there's
anything to stop the cube from imploding. Right.
Yeah. All right. I will make that happen. All
right. So you turn back on the power. Mac, what
is Desiree doing? I mean, I was probably going
to be looking through files and things like that,
especially if there's anything that might be
in like a locked cabinet. Okay. You easily can
get past a lot cabinet situation. There's a small
filing cabinet behind the desk and you pop it
open. Most of the stuff that you find is a manifest
for when the different chemicals are coming in
for the past month and when they'll be coming
in for the next month. One of them says contact
number seven as the person who will be coming
by to. handle those this last time it was contact
number eight so there are different people seeming
to come in during each month to handle the deliveries
okay you double check the addresses against the
address that mars tells you about and all of
the addresses are coming from I'm going to say
Norman would probably check this out, too, because
it makes sense. It looks like there was an old
Air Force base out in Greenland that has been
decommissioned that it looks like Majestic has
set up there. Got it. They fly things in and
out through Canada into America. Okay. Well,
I can't hop a flight to Greenland right now,
so I'm a little more concerned about the cube.
Yeah. And the bomb. Yeah. So the front door is
open because you had turned off the power after
it opened up. You notice outside that it has
started to rain and lightning has started to
come around like these big, but not natural.
They look like spider webs that are just kind
of go out and the thunder never stops. It's just
this rumble. And then another one will hit and
the same exact spider web will kind of peel out.
And you know that people are trying to get out
of the city right now as this storm starts to
build. The computers start to boot up. The screens
flicker on. You see several forms, people walking
around doing different tests, different things
on these large computers. Huge vats of this green
gelatinous stuff that was in the barrel that
Mars took a look at. And they seemed to be frantically
working on something. As if someone had crashed
their party and their timetable had been moved
up. Hmm. Almost like that's exactly what happened.
Yes. Yes, exactly that. Maybe possibly. But the
elevators now work too, right? Yeah, the elevators
work. And if you use one of the key cards, you
can open the stairs as well. All right. And I
am armed? You are armed. Everyone's armed at
this point. Excellent. Perfect. I mean, I guess,
you know, since I'm Mr. Fighty Fight, I'll rally
the NSA guys and say, let's go down the stairs
and try to apprehend some guys and stop whatever
they're doing because it's probably not cool.
Right. So you all run into the elevators. Who's
staying upstairs? Who's going down? I think I
should stay upstairs near this control panel
to see if I can, if they need me to like do something
technical. I can see open doors or something.
Figures that we can see on the security panel
are like working with computers and stuff down
there. Is there any way you can remotely shut
them down? NSA friend Norman. I'd love to do
that. Let's see. Does the code allow for such
a remote access Game Master? You know what? I'm
going to say no. And here's why. I need to be
in danger. That and the fact that they're not
going to hook up the security guard desk. to
the main function downstairs. Actually, you know
what? I guess they might as a failsafe just in
case they have to shut something down. Let's
see. Let's make it a luck roll. Saint that you
can roll. Okay. Okay. So it's 50 -50, right?
That's 50 -50. And I want under 50. Well, I got
63. So no. The balloon people. from Majestic
are not concerned about safety. And so they did
not make a hookup. You can see everything that's
going on and you have control over the doors,
but that's about it from this location. Fair.
Well, it was worth a shot. It was. I don't like
saying no outright. I try to give like, you know,
a chance that something's, you know. That's fair.
Before we head downstairs, can I roll a search,
just in case? Search for, what are you searching?
Anything in particular? Just anything to let
us know how to shut this cube down. Go ahead.
21 under my 40. You find an emergency, like a
worker handbook thing, and it says, in cases
of emergency, You're supposed to go down to the
basement and try to turn off the bioreactor manually.
Failing that, you need to be at least a mile
away from the premises before the reactor goes.
So, that's not encouraging in the slightest.
Okay, guys, I think I know what we need to do.
I have a feeling we're not going to like it,
huh? Probably not. Okay. But there's a bioreactor
downstairs, whatever that means. We have to shut
it off manually. Okay. What does it look like?
Is there a diagram in the handbook? There's a
diagram and then there's a black and white picture
that's like, it looks like it's from 1972 or
something like the typical. Not the greatest
handbook, but you get a general sense. There's
probably something with a big lever. It's got
a big lever. Something to fit the 90s action
aesthetic that we're going for. Is it closer
to the emergency stairs or the elevator? You
go down, you come out of the stairs or the elevator
because they're both right next to each other.
And it's across the room with all these vats
around it that are hooked into it. Great. We
got to go pop some goo babies. If Mars takes
the government types down and creates a distraction,
maybe a couple of us who aren't so good at the
shooting and might accidentally shoot our friends
in the back, if we actually handled a weapon,
could focus on getting to the reactor shutdown.
That seems like a plan. Yeah, that sounds like
a good idea. You guys can do that. I'm going
to go with Mars. Okay. Okay. You all go downstairs
with really long needles. They're like, run!
What? I have come to kick ass and chew bubble
gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum. That's the
attitude. I like it. I just don't want to, like,
critically fail and accidentally hit one of these
tanks and, you know. Good call. Very good call.
Yeah. Yeah. You all head down and the doors open
and most of the people here are scientists. They're
running around doing things on computers. You
hear an alarm going on in the background. You
see big screens over the vats of the cube shooting
out these energy beams trying to feel. for people.
And you also see people streaming out of the
city. They obviously have a lot of cameras and
stuff around the entire city. They've been watching
everybody. So this was probably a planned test
to see if they could do what they were going
to do. In the center of the room at the other
side is a large machine. So there are 12 huge
canisters of this stuff. Inside each one of those
canisters is the chemical and these different
bits of humans and whatever coming together.
It's almost like limbo, if you were to imagine
what limbo would be like. Pieces of earth coming
together and then turning to water and whatever.
But in this case, it's flesh. And there are these
huge tubes that go along the side going into
the main reactor. That reactor is spun up. On
top of it, there seems to be some kind of creature
in there. I want to say altogether the height
of the basement is about 20 feet of space. This
machine takes up that entire space, and the glass
part on the top that has this creature in it
is probably half of that, like 10 feet. And it's
got all of these different... body parts and
stuff, but it kind of looks like a cube as well,
but the flesh is on it. Okay. It's all of this
flesh, like, in this cube. Flesh cube. Flesh
cube. And then outside of it, you can see it,
there is some kind of connection going from the
main reactor out into the city. So it's very
possible that it's connected to the bone cube.
Got it. So that's what's going on. I need resolve
checks from everyone. Yeah, I think so. Can't
even be mad about flesh cube and bone cube connections.
Nope. Yucky. I made it. Oh my god, I rolled a
12. Wow. Yeah, I didn't make it either. 73 under
my 50. All right. I totally forgot what I was
doing. It's under your sanity, right? Right.
It's under your resolve points, whatever they
are now. I got a seven, so I'm okay. Okay, so
who did not make it? I know Jay didn't and Mac.
Usual suspects. All right. All right, Mac, this
might hurt. I'm just letting you guys know because
this is a big deal. You are so lucky. I rolled
a one. On a 20 -sider. She's got a ring to go
to. All right, Jay, it's your turn. Yeah, she
has shit to get done. Ooh, Jay, you take 13.
13. Yikes. So let's see what that says here.
13 drops me below my breaking point. Which we're
not doing because we're doing resolve. Oh, we're
doing resolve, right. Yeah, we're not doing anything
like that. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Like I said,
I enjoy this system a lot better. Not just because
I wrote it. Let's see. So I get to take over
for a moment and tell you what happens with Mars.
All right. Don't shoot any of my friends. I want
Mars to make three gun rolls, like three firearm
rolls, and let me know what you got. Okay. So
my first one is a 64 over my 40. Okay. My second
one is a 25 under my 40. Okay. And the third
is a 40. So, at your 40. You screw as you get
really amped up on adrenaline and just fear.
And you start shooting at the creature across
the way. And the very first shot, you hit the
glass enclosure. It doesn't break it, though,
because it's bulletproof pretty much. If you
had hit it the other two times, it would have
broken. But the other two shots, because you
wildly kind of did this. hit two of the people
just randomly, and they pop. So if this thing
gets hit anymore, the liquid of the flesh cube
will start to fill up the room. Just to add another
layer of, let's make sure that doesn't happen.
Let's not do that. Good lord. So you fight, you
calm down, and that's the end of the bad stuff
that happens. Now everybody knows you're there.
The ones that can scramble for guns are scrambling
for guns. What is everyone's dex? Let's start.
Michelle, you're the slowest, aren't you? Yes.
So Perla's the slowest. I'm 55, which is still
slightly above average. Thank you. All right.
And I believe Mac is the fastest. Mac? I've got
85. Pooja, where are you at? 70. So Robin's at
70. Jay, where are you at? My dex is a 60. Okay.
And Saint? Is 70. Okay, cool. So, Mac, Desiree
is going first. Okay. You had a bit of a shock,
but you throw it off really easily, and then
a gunshot next to you, and you're like, great,
everyone knows we're here. What do you want to
do? It's my turn to start shooting. Okay. So
you just try to take out a couple of these people?
Yes. Shooting these things would be like, you
know, like shooting into ballistics gel. They're
a little bit more watery, but yeah. I was thinking
more like carnival games. I got a 45 under my
60. So the first one you hit, it pops. Basically,
what you're seeing is that these things like
if you just hit it, it's it's going to pop. They
don't have like a ton of hit points or whatever.
They're just that's it. Actually, Mac, you're
shooting an automatic pistol, I believe. So you
can unload three shots. You just have to roll
three times at each time. There's a penalty of
five percent. So it's like five for the second
and then ten for the third. Okay, so I roll again,
and it's 5 % less than my usual skill check.
Right. Okay. And I think I'm remembering that
correctly, and that's what we're going with right
now. Then I got a 37 under my 55. So that second
one, you cap another one. Let's see, and then
this one I'm going to be rolling at 50. I got
a 42 under my 50. Okay, so you are able to get
rid of three of these. Let me see how many we
have in here. That was it. I got them all. Well,
between... You've taken out five of them between
the two of you. Yeah, you've done really well.
So there are seven left. Okay. Bastards. The
next... And they go after everyone else because
they're balloon people, so they're not very dexterous.
The next would be between Saint and Robin. So
whoever wants to go first. How close are they
to us? I'm going to say that the nearest ones
were the ones that Desiree shot. So the other
seven are manning the other... Like, they're
separated right now. They're doing stuff on their
consoles. So the first three consoles have nobody
on them. And then down a little ways, there's
a few more on both sides. I'm nervous about shooting,
so I'm... If you don't want to shoot, if you
want to hold your action, you can. Or you can
start running towards the lever at the other
end of the room. Yeah, I was thinking, well,
I guess, question of clarification. So I have
a heavy machine skill, but it says drive heavy
machine. Is that specifically for a tractor?
Right, that's for a tractor and stuff like that.
Now, you are an engineer, I believe, an electrician.
That stuff can help. Yeah, I was thinking I might
be best suited to be the first one over there
to try to turn this all off. Well, I guess I'd
like to move over toward the machine. Okay. Hoping
I don't get shot. All right, so you run towards
the machine. Robin, what are you doing? So we've
cleared off some of the consoles closest to us.
Right. And I'm going to go to those consoles
and see if there's anything science -y I can
do to maybe stop what they're doing. All right.
You run up to one of the first consoles. You
see what looks to be some kind of countdown.
There seems to be about a minute left. the countdown
runs out. And if you glance over at the next
console, just a few feet away for the next thing,
it actually has about the same amount of time,
maybe a little bit more. So each console is just
a few moments behind the other one. Do you have
a computer role that you can give me? No crap.
Okay. I have that. Well, let's, let's play it
out. See how it goes. Is there what, is there
anything you want to do at all? You notice that
there are, Like I said, you notice that there
are tubes of electronics that run from the consoles
along the walls where the flesh cube is. But
if you want to detach those, that would be a
strength check. Because they're encased in a
tube, so you have to pull the tube off the wall,
which would be very difficult without some help.
Oh, okay. Because it's like industrial stuff.
And there's not like a handy -dandy fire axe
or anything nearby? No. People made of balloon
don't usually like sharp objects. Okay. Everything
is toddler -proof here. You're running out of
time. Also, I am out of ideas. Unfortunately,
I'm sorry. Do you want to let the next person
go? Yes. Okay. All right. So just so you know,
Saint, as you're running, the cube turns a little
bit. And when it turns around, you see that the
center part is clear. There's an eye in there
with multiple irises in it, kind of looking around.
And it moves towards the glass. And all of these
little hands come up and put its hands on the
glass as it's coming towards you. Oh, my God.
Yeah, it's no good at all. Can I get a resolve
roll? Because it's obviously trying to intimidate
you with its alien -ness. It's horror vision.
Okay. Yes. And... Yeah. Take that. It's a 24.
So you ignore it as you run towards the big lever.
And I believe that brings us to Michelle. Right?
Everybody else got a chance to go? Yeah. Wait.
Mars didn't go. You freaked out and shot a few
people, but that wasn't your turn. So what do
you want to do? I mean, I want to, whoever's
running for the lever, I'm covering them. So
I guess shooting more of these people, I was
going to try to arrest them, but it seems like
arresting them is foolish. I'm going to try to
shoot another one of these. So you get three
rolls. The first one's at your normal rate. The
second one's 5 % down. The third one's 10 % down.
All right, so rolling with my 40. I missed the
first one. Okay, just let me know if you critically
fail. That's the only thing. It's a 68. Is that
a critical fail? No, no. A critical fail is like
95 to 100. Got it. So I'll roll with my 40. So
I missed one. The second one. It's a five, so...
Nice. Nice. Good. So one of them pops. And the
last one is also a miss, so it's a 76. Okay.
Perla, what you doing? Okay, since Norman is
running down, I'm guessing, like, one row to
get to the lever. Right. And Norman's going high,
I'm gonna go low, and I am actually going to
use the goo to try to slide. Ooh! Towards the
lever? Yes. Okay. I give you points for that.
That's pretty. I thought it would be very cinematic,
like slide in the goo. That's very grindhouse
of you. Okay. Let's make a dex check to see how
well you do. Well, I have, well, yeah, my dex
is a little higher. You want to do athletics
or? Well, my dex is a little higher, so I'll
take the dex. Not many athletes have to slide
in goo. I got a nine. Excellent. So you start
sliding towards this. Towards the lever. The
lever. So that makes it the balloon people's
turn. There's six of them left and three of them
are going to try to grab Norman and three of
them are going to try to grab. Perla, as she
tries to slide into home plate. So let's start
with Norman. They're literally trying to jump
on you to wrestle you to the floor. The first
one attacks you. It misses. Second one attacks.
Misses. Wow. These are shit dice. Let's move
to some other dice that I've loaded beforehand.
Let's see. Here we go. Nope. All three miss.
All right. Your turn. Perla, first one. Uh -oh.
I rolled a three. Oh. Second one. Oh, the second
one missed completely. Third one missed. So that
first one just lands straight as you're sliding
in. It lands straight on top of you. And it's
like, like I said, it's like a huge water bed
just landing on you. And it just stops you before
you can keep going. It's trying to hold your
arms down. We're back up at the top of the round,
unless Robin has decided what she wants to do
before we start the next round. I'm going to
try to use my rifle as a bludgeoning weapon.
And just knock it open. To knock the conduits
and stuff open. You roll an odd one and you hit
the trigger. Oh, no. Like duck season. I did
not make it. It was a Z3 over my 30. You're hitting
the tubes. Gank. Ineffectively. So let's go back
up to the top. Desiree, you see all the melee.
You see that Perla's got. One of these things
on top of her trying to keep her from the lever.
The rest of them are now focused on Norman, who
is literally a couple feet away. You can now
hear a countdown of 20 seconds. What do you want
to do? Yeah, I'm going to go for the lever, I
guess. Okay. Since it seems like efforts have
been semi -thwarted? Semi, yeah. That leaves
us with Norman and Robin. Let's do Norman really
quick to find out. As it counts down, 19, 18,
you grab onto this thing. You see the creature
up against the glass and it's pushing at the
glass with its hands. You can see that it's trying
to break the glass before you pull the lever.
We're going to put a luck roll on this. Oh, man.
It's a 50 -50 whether the glass breaks first
or whether you pull the lever in time. It's going
to be so anticlimactic because I'm using the
emulator. I got a 48. Wow. You pull the lever
and you hear this. large flushing sound as all
of this goo gets evacuated from all of the tubes
and the big reactor in front of you the cube
falls down and hits and it's just sitting there
and for for a moment you see inside that there
are like different lungs in it and then after
a few moments it stops breathing And it just
sits there. So its eye is no longer moving or
anything like this. And you get word from Agent
Roos that the cube has become inert again. So
this creature was controlling the cube, reaching
out to pull more biomass to it. And whatever
that chemical was, was keeping it alive. and
basically making an environment that it could
live. And obviously these cubes were some kind
of control mechanism for it. Wow. We're going
to say that you save the city. They don't have
to drop the bomb. They're able to now remove
the cube safely without it doing any damage to
Charlottesville. They aren't going to tell you
everything because that's not how Delta Green
works. They don't want... people to know too
much because it's too much on their psyche and
it's better if you don't but the consensus is
this was some kind of alien god from someplace
that this cult was trying to bring back to they
were fanatical about worshiping it and having
it control parts of the U S and beyond. And this
was their attempt to finally bring it. This cult's
been around for a long time. What happened to
the goo person on top of me? Well, yeah, well,
uh, I will leave that all up to you. Do you apprehend
them and, or do you pop them all? Because once
you pull that lever, You know, when someone loses
their god, they become despondent and shocked.
You can easily take them out or arrest them.
It's up to you. Let's arrest them. Yeah, get
as much info from them as possible. And how are
they walking around as balloon people? Basically,
the balloon people are propped up by the same
chemical. It's water, but a little bit more.
It was considered a great honor to become one
of these. These are the high priests of this
religion. One thing that you can tell, they were
trying very hard to find a way to put more of
the flesh on the cube to make it more of a living
God. It was looking to be able to breathe and
be part of humanity. It was basically pulling
biomass to it like a biomagnet. And the Edna
Bay experiments were how to pull people together
to form the cube. And that's why people were
melding together there and why people here are
the hierarchy and the balloon, because they gave
up their bones and everything else to become
part of this cube. Wow. So anyway. So that actually
ends our game, unless anybody has any more questions.
Does Robin let everybody know about, like, you're
in a cafe, it's a couple days later, you're drinking
sodas instead of water. Do you tell them about
being recruited by, now that you're nowhere near
Roos and the rest of them? Yeah. Yeah, now that
we're, like... past that initial thing, and especially
because we're coming up against Majestic, and
we know that Roos and his team are, like, kind
of completely willing to disregard the safety
of the general populace. They would argue that
they're doing what they have to. Yeah, they always
do. But seeing as they were the ones who were
messing with this thing to begin with, they're
obviously playing into the hands of Majestic
as it is. There's no reason why, in any case,
I believe that the official Delta Green has been
compromised again. And the people who told me
to come here after what happened in Edna Bay,
I saw it. I saw the after effects of that. And
I never want that to happen to anyone else. And
I don't think that this Delta Green cares. They
definitely don't care about the fallout. And
they need to be taken down. So I need to ask
one question. Would any of these characters decide
to duck out? Just so Patreon knows, we're going
to a new format where we're going to be doing
investigations with this group of people that
is going to be smaller. So it's going to be.
Two or three episodes will encompass one investigation
into a phenomenon. And then after that, we will
do another one. And so it'll be more of a kind
of monster of the week thing as opposed to really
long, drawn out investigations. This is an opportunity
for the players if they want it. Like Desiree
getting, you know, your wedding's coming up.
Are you going to stick it out with this group
of misfits and go in with the cowboy Delta Green
and take down the main Delta Green? Or are you
going to peace out now that you've done your
bit and ride off into the sunset with your new
wife? Well, first of all, I would hand out invitations
to everybody. They burned a place. They burned
a place, yeah. Desiree probably... Duck out as
soon as she was actually able to, because she
was kind of strong -armed into doing this in
the first place. Right, absolutely. Anybody else?
This is your opportunity to start a new character
for the next game. Right. I think Perla would
duck out. Yeah, I see that too. Yeah, she's married.
She has this life here. She's not ready to upend
that completely. That makes sense. Anybody else,
or are we sticking with the three that we got?
Mars is in. Okay, cool. Mars is in with Robin.
Let's take them all down. Let's expose all of
them and let's kill all these monsters. Norman,
thoughts? Yeah, I don't think Norman would appreciate
being a pawn more than he already thought he
was. So I think he'd like to take some stuff
down. So what we'll do is between now and I think
we're not recording it until like November, we'll
make new characters for Mac and Michelle. And
we're going to make it super easy instead of
doing like an introduction episode like we did
with this. They're just going to be part of the
team and we'll do really small intros for them
so we can get to the good stuff. I want to say
thank you to the Patreon and to our players.
It's been a lot of fun and I look forward to
seeing what we do. And I'm really surprised everyone's
still alive. That's kind of amazing. That 48
roll was key. That was key. Very clutch. I mean,
it was just so funny. I was like, I don't know
what to do, but I know that if I shoot at things,
everyone will die. Exactly. Learned that one.
You did well. You all did well. So let's find
out where everyone is. Let's start with Mac.
