Scenario Outline: Operation HOI POLLOI

Image
CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES or OPERATION HOI POLLOI HOOK Your agents are called to liaison with local law enforcement in Sacramento, California after a mass shooting at a synagogue leaves twenty dead and other injured. This might be in their official capacity as federal agents, or it might be A-Cell being proactive, as the perpetrators are members of the Bear Flag Republic, a white supremacist militia that Delta Green suspects of being connected to the Karotechia. When manifestos taking responsibility for the attack begin being mailed to television and radio news stations across the state, it quickly becomes apparent that the situation is worse than anyone first believed. Inserted into the manifesto are lines from the accursed play, " The King in Yellow ". A-Cell's directives for your agents are to contain the outbreak of the King in Yellow through any means necessary, identify the origin of the manifestos destroy it and whoever is responsible for distributing them, and to cove...

Report: Operation HOI POLLOI - Part Two

Image
  In the Modesto motel room, Avery Fields (VICTOR), Emerson Copeland (VERDANCE), and Charlotte Gaultier (WAXER) devise their plan.  The murders at the Stockton NPR station are being pinned on the Bear Flag Republic (BFR), Delta Green is working behind the scenes to make sure that story sticks. Right now, V-Cell needs to focus on locating and eliminating Ronald Pringle aka Horst Jaeger, the leader of the BFR. They have this place of permanent residence, but its known that he doesn't really live there, instead choosing to hide out in his fortified cabin somewhere in the mountains. To get to Jaeger's they're going to have to follow-up on some earlier leads, notably, two confirmed associates of Jaeger: Holden Wagner and Allen Bhrunt.  Holden Wagner owns METTLE Munitions and Survival, an arms dealership in Modesto that has been confirmed to be the source where the Sacramento shooters sourced their weapons from. FBI files on Wagner suggest that he's had a longwithstanding rel...

The Karotechia: an Expansion.

" But the minions of the Karotechia are widespread and violent, and there is no easy solution to the problem of fanatical bigots. Much of humanity has already embraced Nyarlathotep’s vision, unknowingly, and the problem as a whole is more than a group of agents can handle. Still, stomping Nazi butt is always a worthwhile endeavor " - Delta Green: The Conspiracy.  For the last little while, I've been running a storyline in Belli Occulta with a group of agents, Cell "V", stepping into the ring with one of Delta Green's oldest rivals, the Karotechia. It's been a lot of fun so far, and I want to share what insights I've gathered so far. I'll try to structure this in a similar way to my Skoptsi expansion post. Here it is: STRUCTURE GLOBAL CONTACTS: The Karotechia's primary strength is its scope. In the 20 years its been active under the leadership of The Triumvirate, it's been able to cultivate followers, allies, and contacts throughout ...

  10 JUNE 2000. 6:00 AM. On the flight to Sacramento, VERDANCE (Emerson Copeland) and VICTOR (Avery Fields) both knew what was coming. Five months ago, before they cornered Willem Lipton in a cabin and VICTOR took him down with two shots from a sniper rifle, VICTOR and VERDANCE candidly spoke about their experiences with the King in Yellow. During which VICTOR shared what he had learned from a communion with one of the Goetic demons that they had encountered in New Orleans. He told her what it told him: " THEY FUNDAMENTALLY MISUNDERSTAND IT. THEY THINK IT [ THE KING IN YELLOW ]  CAN BE USED LIKE A WEAPON. CALIFORNIA IS GOING TO BE BAD ".  The words of Bune, the unassuming demon that VICTOR had spoken with in an El Paso parking lot. Those words rang through both of their heads when Jason Swyneherd, their superior in the FBI Task Force PATCON, told them they were both heading to California as the Task Force's point-of-contact regarding a racially-motivated mass shooting car...

Inside, and scattered around the vehicle, are a number of dead men, before the vehicle are two cruisers of the Oklahoma State Police. Lieutenant Fields approaches the vehicle and confirms the kills.
