WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:23.559 Thanks for watching! Welcome to Agent's Dossier, 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:26.600 a Delta Green actual play series brought to you 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.519 by 12 Sided Stories. And now your GM, Wes Otis. 00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:51.219 Hello. And welcome to Agents Dossier, episode 00:00:51.219 --> 00:00:54.420 number 27. My name is Wes Otis. I have some wonderful 00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:59.240 players with us. Let us start with Pooja. Hello, 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.099 I am Pooja. She, her, I will be playing as, you 00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:08.900 know, improbable as it is that she survived all 00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.879 of this. Robin Porter. Hey, y 'all, I am Mac, 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.909 and I am going to be playing Wanda Sims. Hello, 00:01:16.909 --> 00:01:20.349 I am playing Norman Morales and he's been away 00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:22.790 for a minute. So let's see what he gets up to. 00:01:22.969 --> 00:01:25.829 Hey, I'm Michelle and I'm playing Yesenia Alvarez. 00:01:25.969 --> 00:01:29.950 And yeah, it's a miracle she survived too. Boy, 00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:34.450 howdy. And holy shit, we survived as a great 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:38.269 segue into a recap. Basically, what happened 00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:43.890 in the last episode was we had finished a harrowing 00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:48.390 operation in Tillsdale, Idaho. You all escaped 00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:53.790 this small town that had been infected by what 00:01:53.790 --> 00:01:58.719 you believe was a ghoul cult. and you exploded 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.640 a house with a propane tank. And you escaped, 00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:05.200 but you all were damaged in one way or another. 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.199 Yesenia was damaged the most by bullets and other 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.219 stuff. And there were some definite Reservoir 00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:15.599 Dogs moments where you guys decapitated Ghoul 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.460 and the whole nine yards. So then afterwards, 00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:22.449 we kind of did a little wrap -up. in the last 00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:24.990 episode where we talked about what you were all 00:02:24.990 --> 00:02:27.930 doing some of you were in therapy some of you 00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:31.250 were reaching out to your parents and talking 00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:35.189 with them or having conversations in your dreams 00:02:35.189 --> 00:02:40.370 with past friends and we're now going to be starting 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:43.629 up a year later it's been a year since the last 00:02:43.629 --> 00:02:46.849 operation for the three of you who are in the 00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:50.229 last operation you have back your hit points 00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:54.689 And your resolve points are back up to full. 00:02:54.889 --> 00:02:58.090 And you've been working your normal job. Delta 00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:01.750 Green has not sent a new operation to you. This 00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:05.969 isn't out of the ordinary. They usually try and 00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:08.770 put at least it's, you know, it's like a boxing 00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:12.569 match. They try to put six months to a year between 00:03:12.569 --> 00:03:17.319 operations so that their agents. can recover 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.139 from whatever happened. So we start the morning 00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:24.240 off for each of you with a envelope arriving. 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.319 Inside of it, there is a basic message. It's 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.620 scant on details, but it basically says that 00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:38.060 there is an operation starting in Fresno. There 00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.080 has been some strange occurrences in California. 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:46.330 And there's a ticket basically one way. You get 00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:48.969 the other ticket whenever the mission is done. 00:03:49.110 --> 00:03:54.189 And you leave tomorrow morning early. Now, what 00:03:54.189 --> 00:03:57.449 I want to do before we jump into you all arriving, 00:03:57.490 --> 00:03:59.729 and you're going to be meeting with the handler 00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:03.289 there face -to -face, which is a bit new. Up 00:04:03.289 --> 00:04:05.229 to this point, they haven't really been face 00:04:05.229 --> 00:04:07.169 -to -face. But for some reason, this handler 00:04:07.169 --> 00:04:10.949 named Agent Jackson wants to meet with you all. 00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:15.039 So let's find out what you all are doing. this 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.699 day before you leave. Yesenia, what are you doing? 00:04:18.939 --> 00:04:22.560 I'm just getting prepared, making sure someone's 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.579 going to water my plants, you know, that kind 00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:27.480 of thing. I'm not looking forward to going to 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.500 Fresno. Okay. You know, well, last time I was 00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:36.060 in Fresno, yeah, it was some bad stuff. So nothing 00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:38.819 good comes out of Fresno, according to Yesenia. 00:04:39.829 --> 00:04:43.129 Just kidding, Fresno people. It was, you know, 00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:45.930 she just she had a Delta Green experience in 00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:48.810 Fresno that she's just like, OK, back to Fresno. 00:04:48.990 --> 00:04:51.709 How's your work going? My work's been going fine. 00:04:51.810 --> 00:04:55.500 You know, I just. It's mainly been desk work. 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.120 You know, I still train and I still keep my physical 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.519 stuff up. It's mainly been desk work, which has 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.480 been a nice relief for a while. Just it's a lot 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.639 less stressful. And it just gives me time to 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.740 spend with family and to just regroup. Because 00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:14.839 that last mission was pretty brutal. Are you 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.639 still dealing with any PTSD or anything like 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.980 that from the last mission? Or do you feel like 00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:23.939 you're on pretty good? I feel like I'm on pretty 00:05:23.939 --> 00:05:28.220 good footing because Yesenia has been doing this 00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:32.339 just long enough to where a lot of stuff, it's 00:05:32.339 --> 00:05:34.839 not that it doesn't phase her, but she's mentally 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.379 ready for what you shouldn't be ready for. Okay. 00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:42.139 She's mentally ready for anything that happens. 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.399 She's like kind of steeled herself. Right. That 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.470 makes sense. All right, let's jump over to Robin. 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:54.110 Robin, it's been a year. Now, I actually had 00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:58.029 a specific question for you. The bugs. You had 00:05:58.029 --> 00:06:02.290 the jar of metal bugs from the last operation. 00:06:02.769 --> 00:06:06.410 Yes. Yes, I did. What was your plan with those 00:06:06.410 --> 00:06:09.689 bugs? I was going to take them and study them 00:06:09.689 --> 00:06:12.589 as much as I could. Maybe recruit someone else 00:06:12.589 --> 00:06:16.459 that could... More of a, you know, entomologist 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:21.019 thing is my specialty is on the biology side. 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.579 But I don't necessarily trust the official channels 00:06:25.579 --> 00:06:29.000 with them. Yeah, I understand that. So here's 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.680 what you found out over a year of studying these 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.860 things. They are made of some kind of metal. 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.959 They are living. They are not robots or anything 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.290 like that. They seem to be. some other form of 00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:50.149 life that is not terrestrial and when you feed 00:06:50.149 --> 00:06:54.149 them at least half a pound of food or anything 00:06:54.149 --> 00:07:00.230 so trees meat whatever they will duplicate themselves 00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:03.949 and so if you feed them enough they will just 00:07:03.949 --> 00:07:08.089 keep expanding into more and more and you have 00:07:08.089 --> 00:07:11.889 done the calculations you realize that if they're 00:07:11.889 --> 00:07:16.290 allowed to eat and just make their way through 00:07:16.290 --> 00:07:21.050 the planet it would take them maybe six months 00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:25.990 to a year to render the entire planet devoid 00:07:25.990 --> 00:07:29.870 of life it's extremely dangerous they can't eat 00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:35.019 through glass or metal or rock so inorganic stuff 00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:37.519 they can't eat through but if they were to get 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.500 out even one of them it would be very bad because 00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:44.279 they're very hard to kill cold slows them down 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.639 a little bit but you've tried to heat them up 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.180 to see if that will kill them you have to melt 00:07:50.180 --> 00:07:54.879 them basically which is hard to do and if you 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.959 don't feed them they just kind of go dormant 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.870 until food becomes available so It almost looks 00:08:01.870 --> 00:08:06.250 like an environmental weapon of mass destruction. 00:08:06.730 --> 00:08:10.069 Okay. Well, now I definitely don't trust the 00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:16.310 government with them. Now I know Neha had a really 00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:18.769 impressive safe collection. It's like nuclear 00:08:18.769 --> 00:08:22.970 waste. How would you go about making sure these 00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:25.750 things weren't going to get out? I think I've 00:08:25.750 --> 00:08:30.730 started researching. volcano sites and lava flow 00:08:30.730 --> 00:08:34.970 and what would be like the most likely to erupt 00:08:34.970 --> 00:08:37.049 when can i get there that kind of thing i've 00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:41.269 developed quite the interest in uh tectonic movement 00:08:41.269 --> 00:08:45.970 okay cool so you're looking for that kind of 00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:48.870 thing to throw them in the volcano hopefully 00:08:48.870 --> 00:08:51.049 rid the world of whatever that because these 00:08:51.049 --> 00:08:53.629 are definitely not from this planet obviously 00:08:53.629 --> 00:08:57.580 yeah no i'm i'm just feel like I mean, one does 00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:01.320 not simply walk away with a bunch of world -destroying 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.840 bugs, but somehow I did. Yeah, somehow you got 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.220 them. Yeah. That's my plan now that I know that, 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.480 okay, it is difficult to destroy them, but I 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.200 know extreme heat can. Right. That it's time 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.440 to start figuring out where I can get access 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.340 to extreme heat. I'd go into Iceland someday. 00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:24.379 Well, it's also, too, like, okay, well, if they 00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:25.879 get caught in a lava and they're not necessarily 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.320 all destroyed, then they'll be stuck within inorganic 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.139 matter, da -da -da. True, very true. Insert science 00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:40.379 jargon here. Yeah. Beyond that, how is Robin 00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:44.500 doing? Do you feel like Robin has recovered from 00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:48.620 the last operation well? And is she ready for 00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:53.379 another? stint in delta green i think in a way 00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:57.919 because i need this i need this to be able to 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.279 like deal with the fallout from the last one 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.620 and i also need this because the more i know 00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:05.700 about what's going on with this official delta 00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:09.360 green or shadow delta green or whatever the closer 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.179 we get to you know fixing that problem and what's 00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:18.269 life without a purpose exactly Norman, you have 00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:21.889 been back at the NSA for the past year, back 00:10:21.889 --> 00:10:25.889 to your normal job, going in, looking through 00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:31.649 files, looking at stuff that's been tagged as 00:10:31.649 --> 00:10:35.309 possibly problematic, looking at people's cell 00:10:35.309 --> 00:10:42.480 phone messages, and just a lot of sexting. After 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.820 a year of kind of snooping on people, how does 00:10:45.820 --> 00:10:49.460 Norman feel about his job? After doing all this 00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:52.440 Delta Green stuff, are you still able to handle 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.860 the nine to five of NSA snooping? I definitely 00:10:56.860 --> 00:11:02.019 need to move on. And even before the journey 00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:06.000 last time, I had feelings about there's no fulfillment 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:11.450 here in either. career ascending way or in a 00:11:11.450 --> 00:11:15.129 i don't know making the world even remotely safer 00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:19.330 kind of way it's become pretty much a jaded experience 00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:22.389 or i think he's having a jaded experience at 00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:26.690 work more days than not um especially if activity 00:11:26.690 --> 00:11:31.610 has been pretty uh low -key nothing really has 00:11:31.610 --> 00:11:35.360 spiked I guess, his radar until now. So everything 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.500 has just been a little mundane. And also, he's 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:45.220 a gray, a bit of a gray hat. So sometimes going 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:49.139 in and doing those somewhat invasive surveillance 00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:53.799 procedures doesn't bother him that much. He's 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:58.220 more into thinking about greater good and using 00:11:58.220 --> 00:12:03.279 that as his logic. for continuing, but without 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.240 it actually amounting to anything and just seeing 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.980 how dumb people are on a daily basis, it's a 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:12.179 little mind -numbing. Yeah, yeah, pretty mind 00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:16.200 -numbing. He stopped going to his therapist, 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.639 I believe, probably about a month ago, and he 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:24.000 decided that, you know, I feel fine. I'm on a 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.450 low dose of a decent antidepressant. And that's 00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:31.289 good enough for me. We'll see if that thought 00:12:31.289 --> 00:12:35.049 process serves him. But in that kind of state, 00:12:35.169 --> 00:12:37.429 he thinks that he's absolutely ready for some 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:40.789 more excitement and looking for something actually 00:12:40.789 --> 00:12:45.370 dangerous. OK, so awesome. You answered all my 00:12:45.370 --> 00:12:48.269 questions in your explanation, which is great. 00:12:48.429 --> 00:12:51.070 You're kind of ready to go. So you're at your 00:12:51.070 --> 00:12:54.740 desk and you're looking over this like. Really, 00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:58.580 it's short. They say you'll be meeting Agent 00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:02.899 Jackson, probably at a Lenny's, and they don't 00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:05.200 really go into detail of what the operation is, 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:09.159 but you'll be meeting a new teammate as well, 00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:11.820 who they also don't. They just say a new agent 00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:14.860 will be joining the three of you to help with 00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:17.460 backup. The extra set of hands is always helpful. 00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:20.480 It's basically the gist. And you're on your computer, 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.899 and you're looking through a bunch of pictures 00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:26.039 that have been flagged. And you notice that suddenly 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.659 three of the pictures just kind of disappear 00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:36.000 off your screen. Oh, that is immediately. Well, 00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:39.820 mildly shocking. He's he's not a mouth a dog, 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.759 but he's like this computer. I am. I do that. 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.360 That's what this computer does for other people. 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.360 What's that? Any other activity or that's it? 00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:54.629 No, it just took down three pictures. If you'd 00:13:54.629 --> 00:13:57.269 like to make a computer roll and see if you can 00:13:57.269 --> 00:14:00.990 try to trace what's going on. Yes. Yes, definitely, 00:14:01.110 --> 00:14:03.129 definitely. Because I also know that if it's 00:14:03.129 --> 00:14:06.110 a picture that was loaded up fully, there would 00:14:06.110 --> 00:14:10.009 at least be a cache for the thumbnail at the 00:14:10.009 --> 00:14:13.110 very least. If not, maybe I can retrieve that. 00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:15.450 But also, what the heck? Anyway, all right, let's 00:14:15.450 --> 00:14:18.389 spend a minute. Let me scroll all the way down 00:14:18.389 --> 00:14:21.970 on my... All right, cool. Computer science was... 00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:24.730 I invested in that, so I feel confident. Yeah, 00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:27.570 you should have a lot in that. That's your wheelhouse. 00:14:27.909 --> 00:14:32.129 Knock on wood. Yes, all right. I got a 56 under 00:14:32.129 --> 00:14:37.590 my 61. You look through, and a old -school DOS 00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:42.210 window opens up, and it says, who's this? To 00:14:42.210 --> 00:14:45.639 me. I mean, to me? Yeah, to you. Well. Nobody 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.399 else in the room. I mean, I guess. That was a 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:53.519 genuine. The nerve. I'm going to just type lol. 00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:57.940 Because I. Let's see. Let's test the temperature 00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:01.100 of this invasion here. Because it could be somebody 00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:03.379 pranking me, I guess. We're all on the same network. 00:15:03.539 --> 00:15:06.440 And it just responds. What are you? I'll say 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.240 friend. With a question mark. And do you notice 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.159 that because you have on your screen all of the 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.559 CPU, how fast your computer's running, what programs 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.519 are running, all of this, how much memory is 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.580 being used, just so you can keep an eye on all 00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:28.259 this kind of stuff. And you see that it goes 00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:32.240 through and for some reason it finds Microsoft 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:36.840 Edge and it opens Microsoft Edge. And you immediately 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.440 get a little notice that says, do you want to 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.580 make Microsoft Edge your default program? And 00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:47.120 it starts spinning through all of these websites 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.980 really fast, right? I have like a 90s virus happening. 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.480 It's looking up the word friend and going through 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.259 a bunch of websites really quickly. But it keeps 00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:02.700 opening tabs up at the top and your memory just 00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:06.639 crashes. And the computer shuts off. Oh, my God. 00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:11.039 Norman just rubs his eyes really hard and just 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.940 leans back. He goes, all right. Well, it's a 00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:19.940 get up. And I guess let the NSA version of IT 00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:22.940 guys know that some shenanigans have just happened 00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:25.679 because I'm not going to take the fall for damaged 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.059 equipment that somebody else clearly in this 00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:33.700 office set me up for. Yeah, it didn't seem supernatural 00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:37.279 yet. So I'm just that's why I'm like, all right, 00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:40.259 who's who's messing with me? Stop. So they go 00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:43.419 back on. They started all up. They see the log. 00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:46.519 They see the fact that stuff had been open. But 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.620 everything seems to be normal now. Whatever the 00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:53.240 connection was seems to be severed. So there 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.600 is definitely a history of Microsoft Edge being 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:01.389 open. The three pictures are gone. But you know 00:17:01.389 --> 00:17:04.849 they were there. And you also have a digital 00:17:04.849 --> 00:17:07.430 tape backup of what's going on on your screen. 00:17:07.609 --> 00:17:10.890 So you can show that, look, these pictures disappeared. 00:17:11.329 --> 00:17:13.809 So the IT techs go through and say, all right, 00:17:13.829 --> 00:17:16.490 we'll monitor what's going on here to see if 00:17:16.490 --> 00:17:18.730 we get another break. And you fill out a little 00:17:18.730 --> 00:17:22.170 report. Yeah. And be like, get me a fresh computer 00:17:22.170 --> 00:17:25.369 without Microsoft Edge. How the hell are you 00:17:25.369 --> 00:17:31.269 running that? I mean, it's impossible. It's there, 00:17:31.369 --> 00:17:33.430 no matter what. You don't want it. It's like 00:17:33.430 --> 00:17:39.970 chlamydia. I don't know. Oh, my God. God, yeah, 00:17:40.049 --> 00:17:42.049 we won't even be running Windows, and it'll still 00:17:42.049 --> 00:17:44.390 somehow show up. It'll show up. You're on Linux. 00:17:44.710 --> 00:17:48.690 You're on Linux. It still shows up. Sorry. Good 00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:52.950 Lord. All right, well. All right. Wipe my hands 00:17:52.950 --> 00:17:56.349 of that nonsense. Let me jump over to Wanda. 00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:59.910 Wanda, it's been a year since you were even told 00:17:59.910 --> 00:18:04.369 you were going to be on a new team. And you honestly 00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:08.390 forgot that you were going to be doing this because 00:18:08.390 --> 00:18:10.589 it's been so long. And you've been wrapped up 00:18:10.589 --> 00:18:13.789 in a lot of cases. Now, you're in the FBI, correct? 00:18:14.509 --> 00:18:17.230 Yeah, I'm a special agent and also deal with 00:18:17.230 --> 00:18:23.170 the PR. Hmm. Okay. So there has been a lot of 00:18:23.170 --> 00:18:26.819 things going on. that have been kind of a thorn 00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:30.180 in your side. Right now, the biggest problem 00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:34.279 is the PR issues with the Republicans have been 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:39.160 basically just hammering you all because of the 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.220 fact that now they're finding all these secret 00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:44.500 documents or top secret documents that Biden 00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:48.559 has. And so they're using it as a cudgel against 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.059 what happened with Trump. And it's this whole 00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:54.519 fucking nightmare. And you've been kind of dealing 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.980 with that fallout. And the fact that there are 00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:02.480 quite a bit of Republicans who are kind of pushing 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:06.440 for oversight on the FBI, saying that it's being 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.970 used as a weapon by Democrats. So it's been a 00:19:10.970 --> 00:19:13.829 big headache. So when you get a notice that you're 00:19:13.829 --> 00:19:16.309 going to be going on this particular mission, 00:19:16.410 --> 00:19:20.970 is it a good thing or are you so entrenched? 00:19:20.970 --> 00:19:22.930 You're like, wait a minute, I'm still doing all 00:19:22.930 --> 00:19:29.049 of this. So leaving a project in progress to 00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:31.930 go do something else that there's no information 00:19:31.930 --> 00:19:36.710 on is frustrating, especially considering. there 00:19:36.710 --> 00:19:39.029 was a conversation had about a year ago and it's 00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:41.430 like, oh, that's right. And, you know, had been 00:19:41.430 --> 00:19:43.490 very excited about it. And it's like, why now? 00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:46.410 Right. Yeah, I could imagine that would probably 00:19:46.410 --> 00:19:49.990 drive you nuts. Now, for the benefit of the other 00:19:49.990 --> 00:19:54.630 three agents and the listeners, let's recap kind 00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:58.990 of who Wanda is and their personality and what 00:19:58.990 --> 00:20:01.109 you've decided their personality so far is going 00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:03.089 to be, because I know that can shift as you're 00:20:03.089 --> 00:20:05.509 playing the character. Tell us a little bit about 00:20:05.509 --> 00:20:09.720 Wanda. So Wanda is very by the numbers, very 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.940 clean cut, very used to bureaucracy and, you 00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:19.299 know, working through systems. So they are no 00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:23.799 stranger to really anything in the FBI because 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.000 they've kind of been in and done a little bit 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.579 of it all. If anybody has seen Hot Fuzz, they're 00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:31.960 sort of like Sergeant Angel, who is just it's 00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.099 like you're making the rest of us look bad. Because 00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:38.440 she's just so on top of things. And that's kind 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.319 of who she is as a person inside and outside 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.720 of her job. She lives for her job. Awesome. All 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:49.200 right. So all of you, is there anything in particular 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.799 any of you want to do before you leave for your 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.900 trip? Or we're going to fast forward to all of 00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:59.599 you meeting up in Fresno at the Lenny's. Okay. 00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:03.359 I love how Lenny's has become our default diner. 00:21:03.710 --> 00:21:08.029 name for all the episodes. They have over 3 ,000 00:21:08.029 --> 00:21:11.049 locations nationwide. And in several different 00:21:11.049 --> 00:21:14.430 dimensions because it doesn't even matter what 00:21:14.430 --> 00:21:16.390 game or system we're playing, there's always 00:21:16.390 --> 00:21:20.210 a Lenny's somewhere. It's the multi -dimensional 00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:25.730 restaurant of choice. The best one is Lenny's 00:21:25.730 --> 00:21:29.680 Dimension 342. It's amazing. Well, it's the original 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.980 Lenny's. Yeah. I kind of look at it as our Waffle 00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:38.359 House, basically. All right. So you all make 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:43.119 it out to Fresno and would Wanda be waiting, 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.440 looking for people at the counter or something? 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.480 Yeah. And like pissing off the waitress because 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.559 she's only ordering water because she doesn't 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.049 trust anyone. Oh, you're one of those. Okay. 00:21:56.890 --> 00:21:59.130 Right. I'm playing the polar opposite of the 00:21:59.130 --> 00:22:02.230 character I used to play for Dr. Greasy. I like 00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:07.930 the steak, but without the meat. What? So you're 00:22:07.930 --> 00:22:09.869 sitting there sipping your water and these three 00:22:09.869 --> 00:22:14.450 people come in who obviously know each other. 00:22:14.809 --> 00:22:19.539 They all arrived in different Ubers. but they're 00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:24.339 in the little area up front, and you can hear 00:22:24.339 --> 00:22:26.299 what they're saying, and you're kind of just 00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.900 eavesdropping, correct? Yeah, I'm just observing 00:22:28.900 --> 00:22:31.559 right now. Okay. So what would the three of you 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:35.059 say after a year of not being around each other? 00:22:35.710 --> 00:22:39.369 I'd be definitely looking at, I mean, both of 00:22:39.369 --> 00:22:41.670 them got pretty beat up, but yeah, I'd just be 00:22:41.670 --> 00:22:44.250 like, good to see you two standing still. Or 00:22:44.250 --> 00:22:45.529 wait, are they supposed to be sitting down? Technically 00:22:45.529 --> 00:22:50.150 took no damage during that situation. At least 00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:54.769 that you could see. No physical harm came to 00:22:54.769 --> 00:22:58.109 me. I'd say it's good to be standing. Good to 00:22:58.109 --> 00:23:01.250 see you both. Yeah. Looks like you didn't have 00:23:01.250 --> 00:23:05.000 any lasting. No limp, no. Mobility's all good. 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.140 Totally lucked out. I think I was in good enough 00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:11.240 shape that the rehab, you know, went smoothly. 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.880 And you did the rehab, which, you know, if I 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.759 could just record you saying that, and then I 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:19.559 can give it to the rest of my patients, they'd 00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.900 be much appreciated. I am happy you're doing 00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:26.400 good. I'm happy to see the two of you. You guys 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:31.839 good? Yeah. I mean, life goes on. Yeah. There's 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:36.000 been some adjustments, but I'd say that overall, 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.259 solid and ready for something more. I kind of 00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:43.640 glance around being like, where's the guy? So 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:46.519 in the back, because it's that straight shot 00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:49.400 and there's tables on all sides and then where 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.339 the counter is where there's a few people sitting. 00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:56.079 And what would Wanda be dressed in, by the way, 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.599 Mac? Oh, Wanda is definitely like wearing a... 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.940 very nicely tailored suit. Okay. So there's, 00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:06.819 there's all of these. Yeah. She's the red thumb 00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:09.960 at the counter. Everybody else is like dressed 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:14.319 in like your typical, I am a trucker and I'm 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:16.579 eating breakfast before I head out for another 00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:20.920 12 hours of driving. And then you have this really 00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:24.160 well -dressed woman drinking just water, just 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.599 sitting there. That kind of is a little weird. 00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:31.069 And then in the very far back, you see another 00:24:31.069 --> 00:24:36.529 woman probably in her mid -40s. And when you 00:24:36.529 --> 00:24:40.009 three come in, she motions to you to come back. 00:24:40.269 --> 00:24:43.690 Okay. Well, I guess that's our cue. All right. 00:24:44.089 --> 00:24:47.130 I'm looking at Wanda, just giving her a second 00:24:47.130 --> 00:24:50.029 glance. Do we make eye contact? I don't know. 00:24:50.089 --> 00:24:52.950 Are you looking at your water, pretending to 00:24:52.950 --> 00:24:54.710 read something while you're listening to them, 00:24:54.809 --> 00:24:57.670 or are you glancing over it all? I think I glance 00:24:57.670 --> 00:25:00.769 over. I think we make eye contact, and Wanda 00:25:00.769 --> 00:25:04.450 just looks at you.

Boo police hat on. Boo police. 00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:57.599 Bikini inspector, all that shy stuff. But yes, 00:25:57.740 --> 00:26:02.660 I'm wearing kind of like a military green, semi 00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:06.200 kind of like maybe canvas rugged jacket. It might 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.740 be a little too upscale, like it doesn't match 00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:11.660 perfectly. And then I'm wearing like just... 00:26:11.950 --> 00:26:16.269 Dark -colored normal pants. Not business pants. 00:26:16.529 --> 00:26:19.990 Not necessarily jeans. Maybe some sort of khaki, 00:26:20.089 --> 00:26:24.009 but it's black. Kind of like, oh, if I do need 00:26:24.009 --> 00:26:26.970 to roll on the ground, I can. Then just kind 00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:30.450 of like clean sneakers, because I have not rolled 00:26:30.450 --> 00:26:34.009 on the ground yet today. Actually, I keep these 00:26:34.009 --> 00:26:38.049 pretty nice. Yeah, anyway. There's a statement. 00:26:38.089 --> 00:26:41.529 I have not rolled on the ground yet today. Yeah, 00:26:41.529 --> 00:26:43.670 I'm just saying. Everything's clean. It's good 00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:46.130 for small victories every day, you know? Right. 00:26:46.769 --> 00:26:49.009 Robin, what are you dressed like? I feel like 00:26:49.009 --> 00:26:52.950 it's like that upper middle class housewife casual. 00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:57.349 Karen chic? Like, yeah, a little bit. A little 00:26:57.349 --> 00:27:01.349 bit, but not, no florals. Right. Pastels, but 00:27:01.349 --> 00:27:06.440 no florals. Damn it. Where it's like the... The 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.740 pants, like, are a step away from being advertised 00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:12.359 as yoga pants. And it's still cold, right? So, 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:16.740 you know, maybe a long -sleeved Henley to mix 00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:19.119 it up a little bit. But, yeah, everything's in 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.019 those muted light blue, but not baby blue. Oh, 00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:27.440 this one's coral kind of situation. Cornflower 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:31.400 blue or whatever the fuck. Yeah. But it's not 00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:33.710 giving soccer mom. But it could if she needed 00:27:33.710 --> 00:27:37.250 it to. Right. The right pair of glasses and you're 00:27:37.250 --> 00:27:42.450 there. All right. So what is Yesenia dressed 00:27:42.450 --> 00:27:46.609 in? Yesenia's dressed in all black, kind of tactical 00:27:46.609 --> 00:27:49.049 type pants, you know, with the pockets, right? 00:27:49.170 --> 00:27:52.650 Not full out boots, but, you know, not far off. 00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:56.009 Like, you know, not full out combat boots, but 00:27:56.009 --> 00:28:00.210 black shirt, black jacket, like all black, like 00:28:00.210 --> 00:28:03.549 just... Almost looking like tactical gear, but 00:28:03.549 --> 00:28:06.650 not, you know, just enough to pass for casual. 00:28:06.809 --> 00:28:11.109 But really, she could throw on some body armor 00:28:11.109 --> 00:28:15.329 any second and look perfectly normal. Or she 00:28:15.329 --> 00:28:18.509 could throw on a flannel and get a date. Exactly. 00:28:19.029 --> 00:28:24.549 At the range. At the range. I think the important 00:28:24.549 --> 00:28:27.009 thing also to note is that I am also wearing 00:28:27.009 --> 00:28:29.789 a very nice pair of running shoes. Broken in 00:28:29.789 --> 00:28:31.589 because you never want to be running in your 00:28:31.589 --> 00:28:34.730 very brand new shoes. Oh, yeah. And I'm wearing 00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:37.769 a close -fitting cap. You know, those black caps. 00:28:37.990 --> 00:28:40.650 Yeah. With a ponytail through the back. Right. 00:28:41.049 --> 00:28:43.670 You're just like... I'm not a secret agent, I 00:28:43.670 --> 00:28:47.769 swear. Like, that's the outfit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 00:28:47.769 --> 00:28:50.150 wearing a big sign. This is not a secret agent. 00:28:50.250 --> 00:28:53.769 No, I'm kidding. How do you know a Delta Green 00:28:53.769 --> 00:28:56.789 agent? They all have running shoes on all the 00:28:56.789 --> 00:28:59.769 time. We have to get the fuck out of here now. 00:29:00.049 --> 00:29:05.130 We'll pick back up with Wanda saying, I believe 00:29:05.130 --> 00:29:09.210 so. I am with you all. You all make your way 00:29:09.210 --> 00:29:13.930 back to the... large booth that Agent Jackson 00:29:13.930 --> 00:29:16.470 is sitting at. And like I said, she's middle 00:29:16.470 --> 00:29:20.589 -aged, brown eyes. Her hair is very short, very 00:29:20.589 --> 00:29:25.930 curly, darker complexion, and has out a few different 00:29:25.930 --> 00:29:29.829 envelopes in front of her or files in front of 00:29:29.829 --> 00:29:32.009 her. And she says, kind of stands up a little 00:29:32.009 --> 00:29:35.069 bit and shakes each of your hands, introduces 00:29:35.069 --> 00:29:38.250 herself. Since it's very nice to meet you all, 00:29:38.390 --> 00:29:41.230 I wanted to meet you in person after reading 00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:44.470 the file of what happened in your last operation 00:29:44.470 --> 00:29:48.690 so that there's a little bit more of a face -to 00:29:48.690 --> 00:29:51.349 -face and you know that I'm going to be here 00:29:51.349 --> 00:29:54.650 during the operation if there is an issue where 00:29:54.650 --> 00:29:57.309 you need backup a little bit faster than what 00:29:57.309 --> 00:30:01.130 was provided for you in your last mission. It's 00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:04.490 important to me that we... Get you out a little 00:30:04.490 --> 00:30:08.069 bit less dinged up than what happened last time. 00:30:08.190 --> 00:30:11.410 So please sit down. If you wanted to order anything, 00:30:11.569 --> 00:30:14.750 go ahead and order something. And otherwise, 00:30:14.890 --> 00:30:17.509 I'll jump into the briefing. Does anybody order 00:30:17.509 --> 00:30:21.809 anything? Lumberjack special. That's Lenny's 00:30:21.809 --> 00:30:24.670 famous go -to. Yeah, that's there. It's a lumberjack. 00:30:25.230 --> 00:30:28.190 What's on that special there? Oh, you know, two 00:30:28.190 --> 00:30:31.269 eggs, two bacon, two sausage, four pancakes, 00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:34.750 some hash browns, an English muffin. Copyright. 00:30:34.970 --> 00:30:39.890 No, just kidding. You can't sub out the English 00:30:39.890 --> 00:30:42.210 muffin for whole wheat toast if you were watching 00:30:42.210 --> 00:30:45.390 that kind of thing. Yes, you can't. And if you're 00:30:45.390 --> 00:30:47.349 watching that type of thing, what the fuck are 00:30:47.349 --> 00:30:53.759 you doing at Lenny's? And optional grits. That 00:30:53.759 --> 00:31:00.400 sounds like a heart attack. Oh, goodness. Alvarez 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.980 trains constantly, so. I'm going to go for the 00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:09.579 loaded oatmeal and eyeing those pancakes. I'm 00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:11.339 going to get a short stack of those as well. 00:31:11.539 --> 00:31:14.859 Okay. Norman, are you ordering anything? You 00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:18.869 know, I mean. It's Fresno, so outside it smelled 00:31:18.869 --> 00:31:21.849 like cow poop, and that pretty much finished 00:31:21.849 --> 00:31:25.990 off the old stomach for today, so I'm just going 00:31:25.990 --> 00:31:32.289 to get a water. It's Fresno. And Wanda, anything 00:31:32.289 --> 00:31:34.789 you want to order? Oh no, I've already had my 00:31:34.789 --> 00:31:37.650 protein for the morning. Of course you did. Okay, 00:31:37.769 --> 00:31:42.049 so as you all know, it's been a little while. 00:31:42.089 --> 00:31:44.789 We wanted to let you all have enough time to 00:31:44.789 --> 00:31:47.890 recoup. from this mission i've been reading through 00:31:47.890 --> 00:31:53.049 your accounts and wanda welcome it's nice to 00:31:53.049 --> 00:31:55.490 have you as part of the team wanda is going to 00:31:55.490 --> 00:32:00.470 be with you from here on out as you do different 00:32:00.470 --> 00:32:06.269 missions she is part of the FBI normally, which 00:32:06.269 --> 00:32:09.529 means she has the ability to make arrests if 00:32:09.529 --> 00:32:12.589 that is something that needs to happen on a legal 00:32:12.589 --> 00:32:16.869 level. And she can also do things like obtain 00:32:16.869 --> 00:32:19.809 warrants and whatever, if warrants are the way 00:32:19.809 --> 00:32:22.569 you want to go. Don't necessarily need to do 00:32:22.569 --> 00:32:25.490 warrants. Yesenia just kind of giggles when she 00:32:25.490 --> 00:32:28.829 says she has the power to arrest. I'm like, arrest, 00:32:29.289 --> 00:32:34.529 yeah. It's good to have if it's something you 00:32:34.529 --> 00:32:38.269 need in a particular moment. So there's that. 00:32:38.670 --> 00:32:42.049 Also looking over, you all did a good job with 00:32:42.049 --> 00:32:47.390 what information and backup you had. So the reason 00:32:47.390 --> 00:32:50.609 we brought Wanda on was to add an extra layer 00:32:50.609 --> 00:32:53.910 of backup. And also, like I said, I'm going to 00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:58.940 be in town. providing some logistics for you. 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.039 If you need me to look something up, if you need 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.720 me to research something, if you need more people 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.259 in tactical gear with big guns to go in to someplace 00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:11.619 after you discover what's going on, I can help 00:33:11.619 --> 00:33:15.019 you with those things. So let's get to the briefing. 00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:20.799 A few days ago, a person went missing. It was 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:26.400 a middle -aged man named Richard Wilcox, and 00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:31.519 he was at his son's basketball game. And then 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:35.119 when he left with his son, they found his car 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:39.579 a few miles from the school. Basically, his son 00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:43.650 was in there asleep somehow. doesn't remember 00:33:43.650 --> 00:33:46.910 where his dad went and they've been searching 00:33:46.910 --> 00:33:52.650 for his dad for the past you know 24 32 hours 00:33:52.650 --> 00:33:57.250 now this on its own is not something that would 00:33:57.250 --> 00:34:02.250 call us in but it is the fourth such disappearance 00:34:02.250 --> 00:34:07.490 of a local and that is a big spike for fresno 00:34:07.490 --> 00:34:10.449 now i've done some research for you to kind of 00:34:10.449 --> 00:34:13.440 get you up and going the similarities between 00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.679 all four. They all have students that are going 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.039 to Washington Middle School. All of the students 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:27.139 are athletes, so they are on different teams. 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.380 And the disappearances seem to always happen 00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:35.920 usually between the hours of 7 o 'clock at night 00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:41.110 to midnight, mostly outside of the home. The 00:34:41.110 --> 00:34:46.050 FBI has been not called in on this because we've 00:34:46.050 --> 00:34:48.469 kind of dissuaded that. So we think there might 00:34:48.469 --> 00:34:51.670 be something more going on here, and we want 00:34:51.670 --> 00:34:55.070 to clear that. Yesenia, yes? What was the name 00:34:55.070 --> 00:34:57.150 of the middle school again? Washington Middle. 00:34:57.389 --> 00:35:01.070 Can I verify it's five people who have been missing 00:35:01.070 --> 00:35:04.969 or four? It's five altogether. Richard was the 00:35:04.969 --> 00:35:09.340 fifth. Okay. Any signs of foul play? No, they 00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:12.360 just go missing. Richard was the first that had 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:16.059 somebody with him when he disappeared. His car 00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:19.599 was found by the side of the road. The boy was 00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:23.980 unconscious, but unharmed. And the son's name 00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:28.320 was Alex. So that's the information I have right 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:33.539 now. We'd like you to investigate the disappearances, 00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:37.820 talk with some of the people. You can out of 00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:40.039 game real quick. I'm going to let you all decide 00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:41.920 what your cover is going to be, whether or not 00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.380 you're going to pretend to be FBI agents or whatever. 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:48.340 But I'm going to let you all decide that. She 00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:51.280 goes, so you're going to use your covers to see 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.880 why this particular school seems to be the epicenter. 00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.440 of what's going on and report back we'll see 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:03.820 if if this is something that is mundane maybe 00:36:03.820 --> 00:36:06.920 we just call in the fbi after we collect all 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.400 the evidence or if it's something we need to 00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:13.019 deal with we will deal with it and then get out 00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:15.940 has there been any publicity surrounding these 00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:20.420 disappearances we have been able to squash most 00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:23.840 of it put it on page nine and so it hasn't spread 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.769 but Schools are schools and parents talk. And 00:36:27.769 --> 00:36:31.829 so there has been some rumblings about it. We're 00:36:31.829 --> 00:36:35.250 trying really hard to keep it from hitting the 00:36:35.250 --> 00:36:39.550 news. That being said, there is a YouTube channel 00:36:39.550 --> 00:36:45.070 that does a lot of paranormal investigations. 00:36:45.550 --> 00:36:49.750 And it's called Phantom News. They basically 00:36:49.750 --> 00:36:54.389 go around the country reporting on strange happenings. 00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:57.960 They can be an asset because sometimes they capture 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.679 stuff that can be real helpful. They also can 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.159 be kind of a pain. They are civilians. They are 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.280 stumbling into things that maybe they shouldn't 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.679 stumble into. So be aware that they might pop 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.380 up and could be a good thing, could be a bad 00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:19.139 thing, depending on how much of an interaction 00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:23.139 they have. Okay? Any questions? Yes. What is 00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:26.130 the... If you know the level of aptitude for 00:37:26.130 --> 00:37:28.409 each of these athletic students, you know, are 00:37:28.409 --> 00:37:31.110 they the star players of the team or are they 00:37:31.110 --> 00:37:34.010 the bottom of the barrel players? You know, to 00:37:34.010 --> 00:37:36.789 be honest, I haven't I didn't look that up. I 00:37:36.789 --> 00:37:39.329 should have. That's a good question. One is going 00:37:39.329 --> 00:37:41.429 to like make a note in her little notebook that 00:37:41.429 --> 00:37:45.489 she's like scribbling in. Sure. No, that's a 00:37:45.489 --> 00:37:47.769 that's a good question. Are they from different 00:37:47.769 --> 00:37:51.010 sports? Yes. And this has happened throughout 00:37:51.010 --> 00:37:55.300 the last year. So like we had some kids who were 00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:59.219 in soccer and then other kids who were in the 00:37:59.219 --> 00:38:03.340 track. Most of them are eighth grade. We had 00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:07.500 one seventh grader. Was the seventh grader a 00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:10.000 bit old for their class? I think so. I think 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.860 he was a bit. He was also larger. So I think 00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:16.119 he might have been in a different sport because 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:19.440 of it or in a different level. Were they all 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.900 the same age? Yeah, within six months to, you 00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:26.820 know, maybe six months to a year, but all in 00:38:26.820 --> 00:38:31.800 that pool of between 11 to 12. That's right, 00:38:31.820 --> 00:38:34.960 right, from middle school. Were the parents around 00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.340 the same age as each other? No, they're all different. 00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:41.599 Were the parents all the same gender? No, actually 00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:46.940 three women have gone missing and two men. And 00:38:46.940 --> 00:38:50.269 do we have the name of the... head of the athletic 00:38:50.269 --> 00:38:52.449 program or something? This will definitely be 00:38:52.449 --> 00:38:55.210 somebody to talk to. The head of the athletic 00:38:55.210 --> 00:39:01.090 department is Hank Taylor, and he has been at 00:39:01.090 --> 00:39:05.349 the school for 31 years. He's getting close to 00:39:05.349 --> 00:39:07.590 retirement. Yeah, I guess from him. We definitely 00:39:07.590 --> 00:39:10.309 want to see what this aptitude is, if there's 00:39:10.309 --> 00:39:13.489 any more points of data we can collect to connect 00:39:13.489 --> 00:39:16.059 these students. Absolutely. That's why you're 00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:19.699 here, is to dig deeper than I have with face 00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:23.760 -to -face interviews and see exactly what's going 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.099 on and if we need to turn it over to mundane 00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:31.739 authorities or if we need to deal with it ourselves. 00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:35.800 How far are the residences from the school? Are 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.920 they within a certain radius? And she pulls out 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.360 like this printed out map of the area. He goes, 00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:46.440 no, they seem to be, I mean, they're all within 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.199 the school district, obviously, but there's no 00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.940 like specific distance of how far away they are. 00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:57.219 What is the rate of these abductions? If there's 00:39:57.219 --> 00:39:59.639 a recent one that's just happened, are they spaced 00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:03.519 evenly or has it been erratic? It seems to coincide 00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:08.099 with the whatever sport the child is in at the 00:40:08.099 --> 00:40:11.960 time. So right now, because it's cold, it's basketball 00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:16.099 season. And that's what the most recent victim, 00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:20.280 their child was in basketball. So they're spaced 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.460 out by a couple of months, a few months. And 00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:26.400 it's all been within this year. It started right 00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.539 before school year started with the practice 00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:33.280 of football. They were practicing, getting ready. 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:38.900 And one of the mothers, Julia, disappeared. And 00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:44.079 in terms of athletic performance, no sudden spikes 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:48.099 in wins and all of that other nonsense? No, there 00:40:48.099 --> 00:40:51.460 wasn't any spikes in winnings or losings either 00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:56.599 way. Has anything been left behind or even if 00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:01.260 there's like a common sensory clue that's been 00:41:01.260 --> 00:41:05.079 there? A smell even? Some sort of weird substances? 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.199 Nothing that I can discern. The last gentleman 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:12.139 who was taken, like I said, his car was just 00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:14.260 found with his kid in the backseat unconscious. 00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:19.679 But there was no residue or smell. It's almost 00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.679 like they showed up, unlocked his door, and took 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.019 him and then just disappeared into the night. 00:41:26.260 --> 00:41:29.139 Is there any correlation between what school 00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:32.820 they were going to be playing? No. And then... 00:41:33.670 --> 00:41:37.809 In terms of activity in the school itself, PTA, 00:41:38.010 --> 00:41:41.929 Athletic Association, the parents? They seem 00:41:41.929 --> 00:41:47.329 to be very involved. The PTA is incredibly, incredibly 00:41:47.329 --> 00:41:50.409 involved. Were these particular parents incredibly 00:41:50.409 --> 00:41:53.429 involved? It seems like, yes, they were. Any 00:41:53.429 --> 00:41:57.369 other questions? The, I guess, the head of the 00:41:57.369 --> 00:42:01.469 PTA, perhaps. You have that name? Her name is 00:42:01.469 --> 00:42:06.300 Bree Baker. Michelle's laughing because she knows 00:42:06.300 --> 00:42:09.059 Brie. There is a Brie out there. Everyone knows 00:42:09.059 --> 00:42:13.659 Brie. So I will say at this point, this pretty 00:42:13.659 --> 00:42:18.000 much exhausts the groundwork that she was able 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:20.340 to come up with. But it was a pretty good briefing, 00:42:20.380 --> 00:42:23.079 so you all have kind of a good idea of where 00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:25.739 to start. So you all have your breakfast.
