The Minutemen: Important Characters

Image
 I wanted to write some characters for the Minutemen . Most of these images are screenshots of Jericho (2006) and the X-Files from their pages on IMFDB. Skyler Strickland, Officer When Dr. Yrjo and company were thumbing through their catalogue of patients, current and former, who would serve as optimal candidates for their latest experiment, Strickland was an early pick. A former Marine Water Support Technician in the 8th Marine Division who served in the invasions of Grenada and later Panama.  Strickland has no memory of his "Treatment" at OUTLOOK Group, or the evening of alien horror that ended with him in the custody of MAJESTIC-12 in the first place. He has no idea that he secretly works at the behest of Majestic. What he "knows" is that he's seen UFOs, and on one occasion, was taken to their ship for half-remembered surgeries and experiments. He knows the government's tried to cover it up, and he wants the truth.  Strickland was among the first Officers...

REPORT: Operation LUDLOW, Part One: Getting caught up.

Image
  26MAY2003 It's been a while.  What's there to catch up on? After Chile, everybody hoofed it back to the states. Jihadi Joe got everyone excited. First we invaded Afghanistan, then two months ago we stormed into Iraq to take boot to Saddam's ass. "Mission Accomplished" was announced a few weeks ago. None of those nukes have turned up yet. Funnily enough. Oh well.  The "Global War on Terror" has given us enough to worry about. Most us have been so busy in task force briefings and putting in overtime on the weekends, we barely realized how long it'd been since A-Cell called to say hello. But we got called out for two in the last two years. There was an old case I-Cell worked, the first one IRENA ever did with us, IMOGEN's first as a fully "read-in" agent. Some asshole going around Alabama and Tennessee annihilating families, writing shit on the walls. That kind fellow's name was Bobby-Ray Tulk, a product of Exalted Circle's effor...

STUTTER

Image
The third and latest Delta Green scenario made by me and bird using Microscope. In my opinion, we wound up with something a little overcomplex for its own good. But who cares. Here's the link to the google sheet for all three.  STUTTER In the 1950s, Delta Green launched Operation KRYPTON in response to the disappearance of some Americans in Greenland coinciding with a "birdstrike" incident at Thule AFB that the pilot swore up and down "wasn't a bird", and which left a viscous, clear "jelly" smeared across the front of his aircraft. Eventually MAJESTIC-12 was also brought in, and it remained one of the few times the two agencies actually worked alongside one another, even if only at arm's length. Through photographic intelligence collected by spy-plane and satellite, and the efforts of Delta Green's investigators. The cause of the bird strike and the strange disappearances was discovered to be some sort of semi-transluscent, semi-immaterial...

ADAM'S RIB

Image
This was actually the first scenario we made in Microscope but I'm posting it second. Sue me.  ADAM'S RIB This was our first scenario, so we were trying to feel it out as we went along. I'm quite happy with the result, though I'll probably run a version set in the 2000s while the agents are dealing with G.A.P and Tiger Transit because that's something I wanna do soon. We also did flub up the lore a little. G.A.P is written as having gone under, when in the canon its actually thriving. I didn't think it was really that important but be aware of that, you canon purists.  Link here.   In this scenario, the agents are called to investigate some weird activity in Atlanta. A youtube video is circulating online of a man standing near the treeline of a swamp outside Atlanta in the middle of the night. In the video, the voice of a child repeating the same phrase in the exact same way can be heard coming from out of the swamp. In the video description, the man claims the ...

HIS MASTER'S VOICE

Image
Myself and Bird have been doing a little fun activity every friday. A two-to-three hour game of Microscope in which we make a new scenario. So far, its actually been a lot of fun, and generated some neat scenarios.  I don't know that I'll ever write them out fully, because my course work has me doing a lot of writing as is, and to be perfectly frank, I don't really enjoy writing Delta Green scenarios as much as I do just coming up with jot notes and improvising them in play. But, I'll describe the ones we made here and who knows, maybe you'll use them. All of the scenarios we've made so far can be found in this Google Sheet . We've written three so far. HIS MASTER'S VOICE , ADAM'S RIB, and STUTTER. I will make a further two posts on the other scenarios.  HIS MASTER'S VOICE HIS MASTER'S VOICE takes place in rural Kansas in the 1990s, and was our first attempt at making a "good ol' fashion" Delta Green scenario where you investiga...

VERMUNDO steers the plane towards the runway at La Colonia Dignidad. Even before they touch the runway, they know they're being shot at. Small arms fire whizzes past the plane, and above them, the first few bursts of a flak cannon firing off. Before the plane can screech to a halt on the tarmac, they can hear the report of gunfire near the Colony's perimeters. They exit the vehicle and make for a ditch. Silhouetted against the lights of the Colony, they can see a fireteam of about twelve armed men, most in shirts and shorts with some variety of soviet army webbing, their kn...
