  Even Death Has a Half-Life
  Two days ago, a newspaper delivery driver found retired geneticist Tibalt 
  Grieves dead outside his suburban home. Police found Grieves’ girlfriend 
  dead in the house. A detective discovered a hidden lab, outfitted with bio-
  hazard scrubbers. A CDC specialist found unidentifiable samples—samples 
  that indicated that something had gotten loose. When the sun rose, Grieves’ 
  body began to smolder and disintegrate.
  It was another five hours before Delta Green got involved.
  In Viscid, the Agents must keep a lid on a story that threatens to spin out 
  into the public in all its unnatural detail. They must delve into the secrets of 
  strange and lethal forces acting in secrecy all around them. They must follow 
  a trail of carnage to a horrifying communion.
  As far as Delta Green is concerned, staying alive is the last of their 
  priorities.

  Introduction
  For decades after the recovery of alien remains and tech-
  nology in New Mexico in 1947, the secret program code-
  named MAJESTIC operated at the highest levels of the 
  American government. It adapted and deployed alien sci-
  ence and intelligence to remain free of outside interference. 
  After a lethal power struggle brought about the group’s 
  dissolution in 2001, survivors took what they could and 
  scattered across the country, building new identities and 
  organizations.
  Many were scientists who exploited MAJESTIC’s alien 
  knowledge for personal gain.

  CDC, and FBI are involved, and other bodies marked by 
  the Blue Blood infection have turned up. A contact in the 
  CDC alerted Delta Green. But reports of the deaths are all 
  over the local news and will likely go national.
  Worse yet, every sample of Blue Blood over a certain 
  size is a Ulee- thing in the making. Each shares a single, in-
  sane desire—to return to Ulee’s wife and child in Montana 
  and enact a horrific reunion.
  Things One, Two, and Three
  When the Ulee- thing, nothing more than a few ounces of 
  undifferentiated biological material, insinuated itself into 
  Grieves’ body in the early hours of the morning of Octo-
  ber 1, a biological chain reaction began.
  The substance quickly hijacked portions of Grieves’ 
  anatomy, enough to form a rudimentary structure for mo-
  bility. Then part of it ripped itself back out, taking much 
  of Grieves’ tongue, esophagus, and trachea with it, and 
  dropped to the kitchen floor. Grieves stumbled from the 
  house and collapsed in the driveway at 3:55 A.M. 
  Grieves’ live- in girlfriend, Amanda “Amber” Griffin, 
  woke to the commotion, and stumbled into the kitchen 
  to find something grotesque and spider like, composed 
  of assimilated muscle, cartilage, bone, and blue fatty 
  tissue, waiting for her. The Ulee -thing leapt on her and 
  fed again, growing strong enough to move greater dis-
  tances under its own power. Now the size of a large dog, 
  the Ulee -thing was a mess of biology—small, child like 
  limbs freshly grown, tinted blue, along with rudimentary 
  sensory organs. 
  Sunlight quickly destroys Blue Blood. When the sun 
  rose, the Blue Blood lingering in Grieves’ corpse disinte-
  grated, taking the structure of the corpse with it. 
  Ulee One, as we will call it, has found refuge in a rot-
  ted, abandoned trailer near the Mill Creek home. It lies in 
  a torpor during daylight and hunts at night, growing. By 
  October 5, it assimilates enough biological material to re-
  constitute itself in a vaguely human size, nearly 100 kg in 
  mass. Then it will make a beeline towards 19099 Pulaski 
  Street, Billings, Montana, the last address Lt. Daniel Ulee 
  knew for his wife, Isabella. Ulee One will leave a chain 
  of corpses (many eaten) in its path as it stows away in 
  vehicles, and later steals and drives vehicles itself. It seeks 
  Ulee’s widow, who has thought of him has dead for more 
  One of MAJESTIC’s last leaders, Gavin Ross, has 
  been in hiding for years under a series of false identities. 
  Well over 70, he looks a vibrant and lively 60 because of 
  MAJESTIC project ARC DREAM, research bent on un-
  locking the secrets of human DNA as understood by alien 
  intelligences. Since a 2012 screening revealed aggressive 
  colon cancer, Ross has been taking ARD 15: tiny, blue pills 
  created by ARC DREAM to arrest cellular degeneration 
  and forestall death. These pills are almost gone. And once 
  you take ARD 15, you cannot stop.
  Ross, who had a long history of licensing benign alien 
  technology to small front companies, hired a private con-
  tractor to recreate ARD 15 from his dwindling supply.
  That’s when the deaths began.
  Viscid is likely to require two or three game sessions: 
  one to investigate the deaths of researcher Tibalt Grieves 
  and his girlfriend Amber Griffin, and to learn about 
  Grieves’ research; and a second (and perhaps a third) to 
  investigate the dangerous organizations that sponsored 
  Grieves, identify and track down Gavin Ross, and con-
  front the horrors animated by Grieves’ work.
  Background
  Through paper fronts and intermediaries, Ross strong-
  armed a former ARC DREAM researcher, Dr. Tibalt 
  Grieves, to recreate ARD 15 from unprocessed samples of 
  the “culture” from which the substance was originally ex-
  tracted. Where this culture came from, Ross and Grieves 
  have no knowledge.
  Unknown to Ross or Grieves, this culture—an odd, 
  milky blue substance referred to as “Blue Blood”—is 
  actually the remains of a MAJESTIC operative on whom 
  the original substance was tested: U.S. Air Force First 
  Lt. Daniel Ulee. That substance consumed Ulee from the 
  inside out and rendered him down to undifferentiated 
  cellular material, later refined and made safe by ARC 
  DREAM into ARD 15. But Ulee did not precisely die. His 
  consciousness is trapped in every cell of the original Blue 
  Blood sample, aware, alive, and quite mad.
  Working in a secret biohazard lab in his home in Mill 
  Creek, Washington, Grieves accidentally woke the Ulee- 
  thing. It killed Grieves and his girlfriend, consumed por-
  tions of their biomass, and escaped. Now, the local police,

  birthday, long after Kroft’s death. These secrets included 
  cherry- picked projects from secret MAJESTIC files, held 
  at a self -contained, heavily guarded storage facility. This 
  information, if properly used, is worth tens of billions of 
  dollars. Ross, who had made a career of outmaneuvering 
  Kroft, knew all about Ortega, and Kroft’s plans. When 
  the time came, he was there, posing as Michael Bellek, a 
  loving and supportive uncle, the colleague and best friend 
  of Ortega’s dead father.
  Bellek helped Ortega make sense of the secrets that 
  Kroft left behind. Ortega sees Bellek as a consigliere and 
  takes his advice. Meanwhile, Bellek has been plundering 
  old MAJESTIC files and samples. With Ortega’s per-
  mission, he has sifted and sorted valuable but harmless 
  patents and fed them to Ortega’s company, Ancile, Inc. 
  Ancile is an up-and-comer in the defense industry, due in 
  no small part to compelling patents secretly gleaned from 
  MAJESTIC’S alien science.
  Bellek recovered the Blue Blood samples from Orte-
  ga’s stash and sent them to Grieves, along with money and 
  files, through a private investigator. With Grieves’ death, 
  Bellek has scrambled a team led by a covert operator to 
  “clean house” so the buck stops nowhere near him.
  First, Bellek needs to insulate himself from the pri-
  vate investigators who conveyed everything to Grieves: 
  Dinot, Belton, and Wells, in Mill Creek. At 2:45 A.M. on 
  October 3, Bellek’s mercenaries firebomb the detective 
  agency. This fire is so serious, the whole mini -mall around 
  it is reduced to slag. Fire officials are certain it was arson. 
  Nothing survives the fire.
  The day after the fire, on October 4, one of Bellek’s 
  operatives tracks down Evelyn Wells of the detective 
  agency. While eating lunch in a Qdoba restaurant, she is 
  shot with a high-powered rifle. Miraculously, she survives 
  and even gets a glimpse of the shooter before he flees and 
  she passes out. After four hours of surgery, Wells is placed 
  in a medically-induced coma. When she wakes on October 
  12, she gives police the shooter’s description and the make 
  and license plate number of his car, along with the oddi-
  ties of the deliveries and surveillance she handled for and 
  over Grieves. It will not take police long to realize she was 
  delivering money and supplies to Grieves, including the 
  biological samples.
  Unless the Agents interfere.
  than 20 years. It arrives in Billings, Montana, on October 
  10, and begins to hunt her.
  It gets worse. On October 2, the day before the Delta 
  Green Agents arrive, the CDC ordered samples of the 
  “UNKNOWN BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE 1” discovered 
  at the Grieves house flown to Atlanta for study. The sam-
  ples were flown in a sealed sample box on CDC Flight 191 
  Secure, a small plane with a crew of two. It was in this 
  box that Ulee Two awakened. Ulee Two, like Ulee One, 
  believes itself to be “Ulee.” It broke out and overwhelmed 
  the crew. Two hours after takeoff, Flight 191 went down 
  in Clearwater National Forest, Idaho, under unknown 
  circumstances. 
  Ulee Two easily survived the impact. It consumed 
  the crew, gaining enough mass to make it a formidable 
  predator roughly the size of a small bear (over 200 kg). It 
  began to move towards Montana to find “its” family. It 
  will arrive on October 12, searching for Ulee’s wife.
  Rescue flights overhead saw find a burned-out, bro-
  ken-up aircraft. The CDC ordered them to stay away. The 
  Agents may find an aluminum sample-case blown out 
  from the inside, and plenty of blood but no bodies.
  Again, it gets worse. The remains of Amanda “Amber” 
  Griffin will reconstitute in the Snohomish County Medical 
  Examiner’s office on October 5 as Ulee Three, and attempt 
  escape. It goes on its own murder/assimilation spree. By 
  October 15, Ulee Three, a full ton in mass, will arrive in 
  Billings, searching for Isabella Ulee.
  Each Ulee-thing believes it alone is Daniel Ulee. After 
  22 years trapped in disembodied semi-consciousness, 
  the Ulee-things revel in motion, violence, and death. 
  Ulee’s mind disintegrated long ago. What remains of 
  him longs only for his wife and child—a reunion which 
  means consumption.
  See the TIMELINE on page 27 for likely events.
  Behind the Scenes
  All of this was set in motion by Gavin Ross, once the 
  second -in- command of MAJESTIC. Ross gained access to 
  many old MAJESTIC files and projects through Robert 
  Justin Ortega, the illegitimate son of the former direc-
  tor of the MAJESTIC project, Justin Kroft. Kroft, who 
  oversaw the child’s welfare remotely through legal entities, 
  supplied the young man with many secrets on his 21st

  Briefing
  The Agents are hastily summoned by their Delta Green 
  contact—their case officer in the Program or their A-cell 
  liaison in the Outlaws—to a briefing in Seattle, Washing-
  ton, the morning of October 3. They have been assigned 
  to Operation MALTA. Their mission is to identify and 
  contain unnatural threats, prevent further unnatural 
  threats from developing, and prevent public awareness of 
  the unnatural.
  The Agents are being sent as FBI or CDC consultants; 
  or, if they are already federal law-enforcement officers, 
  they have been peremptorily assigned to an ad-hoc, Top 
  Secret task force organized by the FBI. Their usual em-
  ployers are given to understand that it is a situation of 
  national security. If anyone digs, they might find that it’s 
  organized by the FBI’s National Security Branch, Weap-
  ons of Mass Destruction Directorate, Investigations and 
  Operations Section, in an office that answers no ques-
  tions whatsoever.
  Give the players the Agents’ briefing, found on page 5.
  Investigating Grieves
  Investigating Grieves through IRS records and other 
  government documents reveals surprisingly little. A retired 
  geneticist born in Ithaca, New York, he was about 60 
  years old at the time of his death. Grieves earned doctor-
  ates in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry at 
  Northwestern University while in his mid-twenties. He 
  was recruited out of a teaching and research position in 
  Northwestern’s genetics program in 1985 by the Defense 
  Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). 
  People who knew him before this recruitment remem-
  ber that he underwent a complete personality change at 
  that time. He had been socially awkward but outgoing. 
  He became an introvert, utterly closed off, who disap-
  peared from the lives of his friends and family.
  Grieves worked for DARPA from 1985 to 2001. His 
  listed location of operation was Mt. Weather, Virginia, a 
  well-known continuity-of-government site with extensive 
  FEMA facilities and research laboratories. Grieves’ home 
  address and details of his employment in that period have 
  been, suspiciously, erased from all government records.
  In 2001, Tibalt resigned from DARPA and moved to 
  the outskirts of Seattle. He filed a patent for a fast, cheap 
  blood-typing process called Anti ABD, and executed lu-
  crative licensing agreements with several large biomedical 
  firms. This patent generated approximately $10 million 
  in five years. He sold it to Merck in 2005 for a lump-sum 
  payment of $18.8 million. Tibalt invested his own money. 
  At his death, he had a net worth of nearly $21 million and 
  no debt. Quite unusually, he meticulously did his own 
  taxes. They are honest and up to date.
  After 2001, Grieves apparently did little beyond 
  managing his money and buying the affection of strippers, 
  porn stars, and prostitutes. In this time, he began to see 
  Amanda Griffin, a stripper at Rose’s Gentleman’s Club. 
  By 2010, she was his exclusive girlfriend and lived in his 
  house. They were together until they died.
  Grieves’ Lost Years
  Agents can pursue details of Grieves’ “lost” years, from 
  1985 to 2001, if they seek contacts in DARPA and in the 
  world of secret defense research projects. The details of 
  that pursuit depend entirely on the Agents’ backgrounds, 
  the players’ approach, and the Handler’s interests. 
  Agents in the Program could simply ask their case 
  officer look into Grieves. After about one hour, the case 
  officer informs them tersely that Grieves and his employ-
  ment are not a matter they are to look into. Find, contain, 
  eliminate. The rest is under control.
  If the Agents pursue Grieves’ background on their 
  own, they might eventually make contact with a colleague 
  in DARPA or the Department of Defense who finds 
  something to share. A FedEx package arrives, containing 
  36 sheets, photocopies of photocopies. They appear to 
  date from the mid-19 80s to early 1990s. Most are heavily 
  marked with deep black redactions, including the clas-
  sification marks. On one sheet, the classification mark 
  escaped redaction: TOP SECRET / SPECIAL ACCESS RE-
  QUIRED / MAJIC. No one has heard of that classification.

  with the job title: GENETICIST, PROJECT CORE, DI-
  RECTOR OF NONHUMAN PATHOLOGY. REPORTS 
  TO KROFT, J., DIRECTOR.

  ville, Virginia.
  
  Operation MALTA Briefing Summary
  Compiled from reports and photographs by police officers, the medical examiner, FBI agents, and CDC specialists.
  October 1
   
  » 5:45 A.M.: Seattle Times delivery driver Ernesto Torres 
  finds the body of retired geneticist Tibalt Grieves in 
  the driveway of Grieves’ home. Torres calls the police. 
   
  » 6:01 A.M.: Police officers Michael Grant and Jeffrey 
  Daly arrive. They detain Torres but do not arrest him. 
  Their reports say that Grieves had suffered grievous 
  wounds to his mouth, neck, and face, and that crows 
  had gathered to pick at the body.
   
  » 6:05 A.M.: Finding Tibalt’s front door open, officers 
  Grant and Daly enter the house. They find another 
  body, later identified as Grieves’ live- in girlfriend, 
  Amanda Griffin. The officers report that Griffin’s 
  mouth is covered in blood, which had congealed to a 
  blue-black pile, and her skin has a distinct blue tinge. 
   
  » 6:09 A.M.: The officers cordon off the house and call 
  for detectives and the medical examiner.
   
  » 6:32 A.M.: Snohomish County Medical Examiner Lou-
  is Stubbs arrives with medical investigators. Detective 
  Emily Dunser arrives a few minutes later.
   
  » 6:45 A.M.: Dunser and Stubbs enter the house. An 
  evidence technician takes photos.
   
  » 7:09 A.M.: Sunrise. Officers outside call Stubbs to look 
  at something strange happening to Grieves’ body. 
  Over eight minutes, it collapses into a blue- black 
  “goo” that solidifies to the consistency of hard candy 
  and smells of chlorine and honey. The process leaves 
  only Grieves’ left hand and feet intact. Time-stamped 
  photographs cover most of this disintegration. Stubbs 
  and his assistant bag and seal the remains.
   
  » 7:21 A.M.: Detective Dunser and the evidence tech-
  nician photograph what look like small, bloody 
  footprints in the kitchen, near Griffin’s body. These 
  prints, smaller than a toddler’s, seem deformed and 
  misplaced. A clear toe mark indicates at least one of 
  the tracks is human.
   
  » 7:25 A.M.: Dunser follows the strange tracks to the 
  closet that holds the furnace. Behind the furnace, Dun-
  ser finds a wall standing on a hinge, swinging freely. 
  Behind is a room built in what had been the garage.
   
  » 7:29 A.M.: In the hidden room, Stubbs recognizes an 
  expensive biohazard lab complete with air scrubbers 
  and an air conditioner that maintains negative air 
  pressure. Stubbs orders everyone out and alerts the 
  CDC and the FBI. Mill Creek Police Chief Bob Cran-
  nel orders that no one be allowed to leave the scene. 
  Police set up a cordon around the block. 
   
  » 8:40 A.M.: A CDC team led by Roberta Kane arrives 
  from Seattle. FBI agents and the first of many re-
  porters soon follow. A biohazard tent is built around 
  the house. Everyone who has been exposed to the 
  house and to Grieves’ body is removed to Providence 
  Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington. The 
  CDC tests them for infectious diseases. All are cleared.
   
  » 9:21 A.M.: Elizabeth McReady and Marty Posthewaite, 
  Grieves’ next-door neighbors, are evacuated from their 
  homes. They return home in the evening.
   
  » 10:21 A.M.: Kane examines Grieves’ lab. She collects 
  unusual samples from a small, silver sample case 
  with biohazard markings and a stamp which reads, 
  “BOUNCE.” Inside are twelve vacuum-sealed pack-
  ages containing a substance that Kane designates 
  “Unknown Biological Sample 1.” One package is 
  open. Kane describes its contents as “undifferentiated 
  cellular material with human characteristics.”
   
  » 11:50 A.M.: Kane, a Delta Green contact, alerts a case 
  officer to the strange things found in Grieves’ house. 
  Operation MALTA is set in motion.
   
  » 2:40 P.M.: The CDC orders the samples collected from 
  the Grieves lab flown to Atlanta for study.
  October 2
   
  » 8:01 A.M.: The CDC loads Unknown Biological Sam-
  ple 1 onto CDC Flight 191 Secure, a small plane with 
  a crew of two. It departs for Atlanta.
   
  » 9:46 A.M.: Butte, Montana, air control loses contact 
  with Flight 191 after a moment of garbled radio. 
  There was no report of malfunction. The tran-
  sponder places Flight 191 in Clearwater National 
  Forest, Idaho.
   
  » 11:22 A.M.: Search-and-rescue flights spot smoke and 
  locate the wreckage of Flight 191. The CDC instructs 
  rescuers to stay away from the wreckage.
  October 3
   
  » 8:00 A.M.: Operation MALTA begins.

  TYPING; a fast, cheap blood typing enzyme that MAJES-
  TIC had been using for years, but which was unknown to 
  the public at large. Grieves settled in the Pacific Northwest, 
  filed the patent, licensed it to several large firms, and sat 
  back as the money poured in.
  In 2012, Grieves was contacted by Michael Bellek—
  Gavin Ross under a new identity. Ross, or Bellek, had kept 
  tabs on Grieves using back doors that MAJESTIC had 
  installed in many government agencies. Grieves, fearing 
  for his life, complied with Bellek’s demands, thinking it a 
  small price to pay for freedom.
  Grieves’ Body
  There exist some inconsistencies in the police records. 
  When first found and photographed, Dr. Grieves’ body 
  was intact, though bloodily damaged. Just half an hour 
  later, it had collapsed into a pool of toxic-smelling, un-
  identifiable goo. No one knows how to explain it. The 
  police, horrified by the notion of an uncontrollable bio-
  hazard, are uncomfortable discussing it.
  The medical examiner’s assistant captured this trans-
  formation was captured in a series of 16 photos with time 
  stamps. These show Grieves’ body turning a deep blue, 
  then black, then collapsing in on itself. Soon after, the 
  indigo liquid hardened to a glass like consistency, leaving 
  a pile of unidentifiable solid matter in a bathrobe. Only 
  Grieves’ left hand and feet remained. The remains were 
  bagged and moved to the Snohomish County Medical 
  Examiner’s Office, where they currently reside in a body 
  bag in cold storage.
  Luckily for all concerned, exposure to sunlight effec-
  tively has rendered the “Ulee matter” in the corpse into an 
  inert form that can never reconstitute.
  Investigating Griffin
  Amanda Griffin was an African American woman born 
  in Olympia, Washington, in 1990. The Agents can piece 
  together her background by interviewing her family, col-
  leagues from her stripping days, boyfriends, and friends 
  from high school.
  Griffin was popular and well liked in high school, but 
  she fled town suddenly in 2007. Just a year later, she was 
  Another page has enough unredacted text that an 
  Agent with Medicine or a relevant Science skill—Biology 
  or Microbiology, for example—can identify it as part of 
  a virology study. An Agent with 60% or higher in the 
  relevant skill says the text, while admittedly incomplete, 
  is confusing. It seems to deal with viruses that affect the 
  brain, but that behave like no viruses known to Earth.
  Grieves’ Secret History
  These details could emerge if the Agents have a long and 
  fruitful talk with Gavin Ross, aka Michael Bellek. They 
  are meant give the Handler additional context and could 
  be the seeds for future scenarios.
  In 1985, Grieves went to work for MAJESTIC. The 
  transformation that started his friends and family had a 
  single cause: Grieves saw pages from the COOKBOOK, a 
  gift from the Others, an apparently alien civilization, that 
  outlined the secrets of human genetics.
  Grieves left his life behind and moved to Virginia, 
  working out of a portion of Mount Weather Emergency 
  Operations Center known to its employees colloquially 
  as the Country Club: the headquarters of MAJESTIC . 
  Grieves managed Project CORE, a growing web of 
  research projects investigating human genetics. It partic-
  ularly explored the exploitation of tailored viruses and 
  altered animal biologies. Grieves’ research led directly to 
  targeted viruses and biological infections which worked 
  on specific portions of the brain, such as the centers of 
  memory manufacture, speech, and cognition. This work 
  yielded drugs that became a favorite tool of MAJESTIC to 
  silence witnesses.
  During this time, Grieves grew close to Gavin Ross. 
  Unknown to Grieves, Ross used him, multiple times, as a 
  blunt tool to manipulate Kroft and other members of the 
  MAJESTIC Steering Committee.
  Grieves knew about other MAJESTIC projects. Project 
  RECOIL concerned human experimentation and testing of 
  biological “enhancements.” Twice, Grieves consulted on 
  these projects, once involving the creation of an anti -aging 
  drug called ARD 15 from samples recovered under classi-
  fied circumstances.
  When MAJESTIC disintegrated in 2001, Grieves es-
  caped with two small file boxes filled with classified docu-
  ments. One document outlined a process called ANTI ABD

  Griffin would come and go at odd hours, and had 
  other boyfriends. Grieves knew and did not care. She 
  made him happy.
  Setting Up Artenza
  Clever agents would not need to work hard to set up 
  Artenza as a suspect in the deaths of Griffin and Grieves. 
  Simply locating some personal effect of Artezna’s and 
  placing it in Grieves’ house, or faking a blood or semen 
  sample on Amanda Griffin, would be enough to get the 
  ball rolling.
  Artenza’s alibi for the evening amounts to two of his 
  trucking buddies, Eliot Rocet (white male, age 46) and 
  Malik Ali (African American male, age 39). Both have 
  legal problems of their own and would fold easily under 
  legal pressure. Even better, Ophelia Tunney would turn 
  on Artenza instantly. She has been with him for years, an 
  unhappy relationship being less terrifying than no rela-
  tionship at all. But thinking that he killed her daughter 
  changes everything. She grimly and thoroughly testifies as 
  to Artenza’s abuse of her and her daughter.
  Griffin’s Body
  Griffin’s body was briefly used as a receptacle for Ulee 
  One. The Blue Blood substance infected and was insinu-
  ated into much of her body. Before this substance could 
  take hold and go into overdrive, Amanda died. However, 
  the Blue Blood in her is not dead. It continues to work on 
  the body, slowly growing, consuming, and changing dead 
  tissue into something not  quite human. This process is mi-
  crocellular, at first, but soon becomes evident on a much 
  larger scale.
  The body was bagged and moved to the Snohomish 
  County Medical Examiner’s Office where it was placed 
  in cold storage. Dr. Louis Stubbs, the Snohomish County 
  medical examiner, intended to complete an autopsy on it, 
  but he held off once the CDC and FBI became involved. 
  While jurisdictional issues are worked out, the body waits 
  for autopsy, growing and changing from the inside out.
  When the Agents arrive on October 3, the federal gov-
  ernment has not yet decided to concede jurisdiction over 
  the examination of Griffin’s remains to the Mill Creek 
  Police Department.
  stripping in the Sea-Tac corridor, moving between clubs. 
  This fact is well known in her home town.
  A brief investigation can uncover the fact that Grif-
  fin’s mother, Ophelia Tunney, divorced Amanda’s father 
  in 2006, and took up with Emil Artenza, a trucker with 
  a history of sexual assault. He spent time in prison in 
  Alabama for attempted rape in 1982. Artenza still lives 
  with Tunney in the house where Griffin grew up. It is easy 
  to piece together that Griffin fled home due to abuse by 
  her mother’s boyfriend, though it would be impossible to 
  prove in court.
  In the Seattle stripping scene, Griffin was well known 
  and considered a good worker, as well as a friendly one. 
  She had many repeat customers. But her career did not last 
  long. In 2009, she found “the one”: Dr. Tibalt Grieves, an 
  older man who was filthy rich and who wanted to take her 
  away from it all. 
  Amanda did care for Grieves, and looked after him 
  with great affection, if not real love. She had a new car 
  every year, endless shopping trips, and handbags worth 
  tens of thousands of dollars. Grieves only drew one firm 
  line: they could not buy huge houses or otherwise draw 
  attention to themselves. They could never be publicly rich. 
  For all their neighbors knew, the Grieves’ household was 
  up to its neck in debt.
  Griffin asked nothing about Grieves’ work, and found 
  none of it suspicious. His well-known work with Merck 
  made it clear he was “legitimate.”
  Griffin returned home to Olympia twice. The second 
  time, Grieves came along. That meeting did not go well. 
  If questioned about it, Artenza says that Grieves wore a 
  $100,000 watch. Artenza made a few snide comments 
  about Grieves’ relationship with Griffin, and then Grieves 
  took him aside. He said he knew a few people who might 
  help Artenza get a “bilateral orchiectomy or some shit.” 
  Grieves explained this was the removal of both testicles. 
  Artenza says: “Then he smiled and we went back to the 
  table like nothing happened. I shut my fucking mouth. He 
  was not kidding.” Grieves and Griffin never returned.
  Neighbors saw the couple from time to time, and told 
  themselves stories about their relationship: “Oh, a mid life 
  crisis lives next door.”

  and the FBI. He is wise enough to understand when he is 
  out of his depth—at least, until he sees a spark of some-
  thing beyond science.
  Now that the scene has been cleared, he is becoming 
  convinced, more and more, he will never know precisely 
  what went on at the Grieves house.
  Stubbs is honest and careful. He is eager to cut on 
  the remains of Amanda Griffin; but, due to various court 
   orders and stays, he has been told not to.
  Stubbs lives alone in a house in Olympia, Washing-
  ton, and is a lifelong bachelor. He is, above all, a man of 
  science. He does not truck with the supernatural—until of 
  course, it is in his face. Then, even more terrifying, he will 
  try to understand it.
  To Stubbs, this case is a four-day wonder. As it drifts 
  from the news and from the reports that cross his desk, his 
  mind returns to normal business. But if he sees anything 
  overtly supernatural, he will pursue that knowledge even 
  in the face of mortal danger.
  The night of October 5, the thing inside Amanda Grif-
  fin reanimates her, attacks and consumes much of a janitor, 
  and escapes into the night. It is now Ulee Three, and it 
  begins a rampage towards Billings, Montana.
  On October 8, the federal government concedes that 
  examination of Griffin’s body falls under the jurisdic-
  tion of the Mill Creek Police Department. But by then, 
  it is too late.
  Dr. Louis Stubbs
  The Snohomish County medical examiner is a white male, 
  age 55. Dr. Stubbs has been the county medical examiner 
  for 15 years. He mostly deals with car and motorcycle 
  crashes, found bodies, and occasional violent crime. He 
  has never seen a case like this.
  Stubbs was smart enough to recognize the signs of 
  something deeply beyond the ordinary in the Grieves case. 
  He was the one who advised the police to lock down the 
  site, to place personnel in quarantine, and involve CDC

  a cul- de- sac, surrounded by high evergreen trees. It has a 
  small, fenced yard in the back. The back of the house, and 
  the houses on the cul de sac are surrounded by a greenbelt 
  and a drainage stream.
  With Grieves’ death, it is unclear who now owns the 
  property. He had no will and no known next of kin.
  The Footprints
  Tiny, malformed footprints cut an arc from the lab 
  through the furnace closet, down the hallway, and out 
  the front door. There are extensive photographs of them, 
  marked with size-comparison rulers. They are still there, 
  covered with plastic cups.
  Initially, it was believed they were the footprints of a 
  child, though Griffin and Grieves had no children. Soon, 
  theories began to arise that the marks were made by 
  Griffin in her death agonies and only coincidentally looked 
  like small footprints.
  These marks were caused by the Ulee One after its 
  rapid ejection from Grieves. Its mismatched anatomy, 
  which included toes and fingers, drew skittering stains 
  across the ground. There’s not much more blood because 
  the thing stopped and fed on it.
  The Lab
  The lab is about eight meters by four meters and contains 
  hundreds of thousands of dollars of the most modern 
  biological equipment. Any Agent with experience in 
  biohazards or an appropriate Science skill can tell it is as 
  close to a Biosafety Level 4 lab as Grieves could manage. 
  A recessed, highly specialized and expensive air-condi-
  tioning and scrubbing unit processes all air and releases 
  purified air through two mundane-looking vents in the 
  roof. The room has negative air pressure, meaning air 
  is pulled in faster than it can escape. This unit was also 
  plugged into a redundant, automatic, gas-powered backup 
  electrical source.
  Most work was done in what is known as a “cabinet 
  laboratory,” with gloves to work on samples within a 
  secure workspace. The cabinet is a highly expensive piece 
  of specialty equipment.
  Odd, blue-white samples were recovered from the 
  cabinet, as well as various notes. These were seized by 
  Recruiting Stubbs
  Once Dr. Stubbs is exposed to the unnatural, bringing him 
  in as a Delta Green friendly is an option. At first, it might 
  even seem like a good one. However, Stubb’s mind is not 
  suited for the unnatural. He will, to the best of his abil-
  ity, pursue all leads however outré, dangerous, or ill-ad-
  vised. If the Agents recruit him, he might dissect Griffin’s 
  remains, bring a Blue Blood sample home to examine in 
  off hours, or bring in colleagues as consultants, widening 
  exposure. Once Stubbs is in, he’s in for good, or until he 
  becomes the mission.
  Testing the Remains
  The Agents can examine Amanda Griffin’s body in the 
  county morgue, but they have to talk the medical exam-
  iner into it or else get around him and his staff. Stubbs is 
  holding the body until the federal, county, and city gov-
  ernments work out who should take possession. It would 
  be professional negligence for him to allow anyone to look 
  at it in the meantime.
  If Agents obtain a sample of Blue Blood from Griffin 
  or anywhere else, they can get Dr. Kane’s help to find a 
  laboratory and run tests. The results are interesting and 
  might be useful.
  Agents with Biology 20% or higher and appropriate 
  equipment discover the cells have human characteristics, 
  though their life cycle seems to be based on carbon dioxide. 
  The cells are also extremely resilient, and have a second, 
  almost plant like cell wall surrounding the cell membrane.
  Agents with Biology 40% or higher and appropriate 
  equipment learn that the cells seem to react to changes in 
  light. Ultraviolet B (found in sunlight) seems to be lethal 
  in quick order, causing the cells to vibrate, heat up, and 
  burst. Once the internal cell material breaches the cell wall 
  and is exposed to ultraviolet B, it hardens to a thick, blue 
  crystalline material.
  Grieves’ House
  Grieves lived at 24th Drive Southeast, Mill Creek, Wash-
  ington. Built in 1996, the house was bought in 2002 by 
  Grieves in cash, from fully legal sources. It is a small, 
  four-bedroom rambler without a basement, at the end of

  // Viscid //
  // Delta Green //
  An Agent with Accounting 40% or higher can read 
  between the lines that the company is highly unusual, and 
  that the name Aaron Silverman corresponds to a line  item 
  paid out yearly to the Washington, D.C., law firm Marcus, 
  Silverman, and Greene. The single largest payout for PER-
  SONNEL goes to someone named Robert Justin Ortega.
  Neighbors
  Grieves’ neighbors have nothing bad to say about him, 
  though some have choice words on his selection of compa-
  ny. For years he was known as a “rich guy who liked floo-
  zies,” bringing home strippers and escorts. Since he settled 
  down with Griffin, however, things have calmed down.
  The woman next door, Elizabeth McReady, a widow 
  who lives alone, admits she didn’t care much for the doc-
  tor, but that he seemed “lost” and “frightened.” McReady 
  then attempts to recruit the agents into the Church of 
  Latter-Day Saints. 
  Agents whose players say they are paying close at-
  tention, or who have Alertness at 60% or higher, notice 
  a bundle of printed flyers that McReady just had printed. 
  They are posters for her missing King Charles Spaniel, Es-
  tes. The dog has been missing since the night of October 2.
  Another neighbor, Marty Posthewaite, noticed a 
  brown Lexus sedan parked on the street several times, 
  with a driver seemingly watching Grieves’ house. Once, 
  Posthewaite even went out and asked the woman in the 
  car what she was doing. She showed him a private inves-
  tigator’s license. He does not recall the license plate of the 
  car or the name on the license. But this was back before 
  last Christmas.
  In the days before the murder, nothing unusual was 
  seen or heard from the residence.
  Missing Animals
  If the Agents ask questions in the neighborhood in the 
  days following the incident, they quickly piece together 
  that small animals are going missing. If they plot these 
  out on a map of the area, they see that the disappearances 
  occured near the green belt around Grieves’ house.
  The following animals disappear in the fol-
  lowing order. 
  the CDC and were dispatched to Atlanta on the doomed 
  Flt. 191 Secure. It was also noted there was a hole in 
  the right glove that goes through into the cabinet, as if it 
  had been breached. A thin sheen of blood (matching Dr. 
  Grieves’) was located on the window of the cabinet as well.
  Construction
  In April 2010, Grieves hired two local firms to build the 
  lab in the garage. A company called Thompson Specialty 
  Construction handled the first round, at a cost of approx-
  imately $80,000. The second round of construction, by 
  Monmouth Weather and Fitting, cost about $100,000. 
  Grieves hired a third firm, Pacific Northwest HVAC, to in-
  stall a complex air filtration and conditioning unit shipped 
  in from the east coast. 
  Several other large, industrial-sized shipments were 
  brought in. The laboratory cabinet’s serial numbers in-
  dicate it was bought from a biotech firm in Pennsylvania 
  for $125,000. 
  Grieves paid for all but one of these projects with 
  cash ier’s checks and wire deposits from a bank in the 
  Grand Caymans, in an account held by a company called 
  Potentia Holdings, LLC. One check was sent from at-
  torney Aaron Silverman, personally, to resolve a work 
  stoppage due to mixed-up invoices.
  Potentia Holdings, LLC
  Potentia Holdings, which issued checks to the firms which 
  installed the secret bio lab equipment at Grieves’ home, is 
  a limited-liability company run from a post-office box in 
  Washington, D.C., since 2007. It has a single employee, 
  Aaron Silverman, listed as president. Silverman, 73, lives 
  in Washington, D.C. He collects an annual salary of $1 
  from Potentia, but files paperwork like clockwork.
  An Agent with Accounting 20% or higher can glean 
  that the operating capital of Potentia is about $300 mil-
  lion per year. Much of the money is spent on real estate 
  and retainers for personal services, with line items such 
  as SECURITY, TRANSPORTATION, and RENTALS. 
  Potentia owns buildings, vehicles, equipment, and storage 
  facilities throughout the United States, and several off-
  shore facilities in the Bahamas, Grand Caymans, and India.

  The Crows
  Before the police cruiser arrived at the scene on October 
  1, half a dozen crows had landed in the early morning to 
  feed on the remains of Dr. Grieves. Two of these crows 
  ingested small amounts of the Blue Blood substance and 
  were affected. The crows live in the trees in the green belt 
  behind the houses. As the substance attempts to take hold 
  of their biology, they struggle to survive. For some reason, 
  the Blue Blood cannot successfully seize control of these 
  birds. By October 10, both crows will be dead due to com-
  plications of infection from the Blue Blood substance.
  Agents can easily find crows in the area, especially at 
  dawn and dusk. Any Agent watching the local crows care-
  fully observes two acting strangely. One has a blue-white 
  streak in its feathers, and its head is tilted to one side at all 
  times. The second flies in a clumsy manner, often alighting 
  to trees to rest.
  If the Agents kill or capture these specimens, they 
  find that the blue-white-feathered crow has an odd, scaly 
  growth on its neck, next to the strangely colored feath-
  ers. This growth emerges from its neck like a sore, which 
  has caused the feathers surrounding it to fall out. In 
  their place are a wave of scaly extrusions. Close study

  The Private Detectives
  Dinot, Belton, and Wells Detective Agency was founded in 
  1992 by Aaron Dinot, a retired Seattle police officer. This 
  Kirkland, Washington, business was first run from Dinot’s 
  home, and later from a small, walk up office in a shopping 
  center. For the last 14 years it was housed in larger offices 
  in a strip  mall.
  Dinot mainly monitored extramarital affairs—espe-
  cially those involving Microsoft’s millionaires—and the 
  business boomed. In 1999, Dinot retired to Delray Beach, 
  Florida, leaving the office in the care of his partner, Ted 
  Belton. Dinot receives a check every month, but his in-
  volvement in the business is next to nil.
  In 2005, Belton hired Evelyn Wells, a former  detective 
  from Tacoma, Washington. She quickly proved her worth, 
  and by 2009 was a partner. Belton took on the role of 
  manager and executive while Wells did field work. She 
  maintained a chain of stringer detectives paid per job 
  for the agency.
  It 2010, the agency was hired by Potentia Holdings 
  to courier paperwork and equipment (referred to as “vital 
  business patents”). The money was fantastic. Wells took 
  that job herself. This continued for months. Most deliver-
  ies came from a reshipper at the Port of Seattle and were 
  taken to Tibalt Grieves’ home on 24th Drive Southeast, 
  Mill Creek, Washington.
  About a year ago, Wells’ contact at Potentia, known 
  only as “Michael,” asked her to monitor Grieves and his 
  activities. Wells extensively surveilled the doctor through-
  out the last Christmas season, taking photos and identify-
  ing people coming and going from his home.
  The agency continued to prosper up until it was fire-
  bombed at 2:45 A.M. on October 3, the day the Agents 
  arrived. The attack burned the whole strip mall to the 
  ground and took the agency’s records with it. 
  On October 4, Evelyn Wells was shot with a high- 
  powered rifle and placed in a medically induced coma at 
  Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
  The Strip Mall
  Nothing remains of the strip mall that once housed the 
  agency and four other businesses. Neighbors reported a 
  huge explosion in the early hours of October 3. By the 
  reveals these chitinous scales are human fingernails. 
  (SAN loss: 0/1.)
  The crow that flies clumsily has the first three digits 
  of a human hand growing from its abdomen like a sore. 
  (SAN loss: 1/1D4). Samples from this portion of the crow 
  contain human DNA, along with unidentifiable biological 
  matter. Running fingerprints from these fingers through 
  an FBI or Department of Defense database identifies Lt. 
  Daniel Ulee, U.S. Air Force. Ulee died in 1992 in a train-
  ing exercise. 
  Capturing crows is difficult, as they are among the 
  smartest animals on the planet. Agents who set out to do 
  so must have a compelling plan. Crow traps are available 
  for purchase, and with the right bait they have a high 
  probability of working. Unfortunately, the odds are very 
  low that any given captured crow will be one affected 
  by Blue Blood. 
  Of course, there is always the option of a .22 rifle 
  with a scope.
  Ernesto Torres
  Seattle Times delivery driver Ernesto Torres is an Hispanic 
  male, age 26. Torres was first on the scene at the Grieves 
  house, and called the Mill Creek Police Department at 
  5:45 A.M. He has no knowledge of the crime or its secrets. 
  He is not infected with Blue Blood.
  He was held by the two police officers, and later held 
  at a local hospital when there was worry about infectious 
  diseases. Torres cooperated, asked for no lawyer, and was 
  released. His record is clean.
  He lives alone in a trailer at the Creekside Mobile 
  Home Park in Mukilteo, Washington. He drives daily on 
  a long route, delivering the Seattle Times from a 2002 
  Nissan Sentra from 4:45 A.M. until about 8:45 A.M.
  If questioned independently, Torres goes into great de-
  tail about the initial discovery of Grieves’ body. He went 
  over and swung at the “crows eating at the poor guy,” but 
  he did not touch the body. 
  Torres is cooperative and outspoken, and is somewhat 
  excited by his newfound stardom. He has given multiple 
  television interviews. However, he is trustworthy. If asked 
  not to say anything, particularly by those in authority, he 
  remains silent.

  when he returns from a sport fishing trip. He is utterly 
  baffled as to who would want to do such a thing. He 
  implicitly trusts Belton and backs him up.
  Belton
  Belton has private suspicions about the attack. He knows 
  that Wells was working for some time on a high-paying 
  client—Potentia Holdings—and that this company was 
  a little too generous. He does not recall, offhand, the 
  address of the surveillance, but knows it has to do with a 
  retired geneticist.
  Belton suspects his cozy little detective agency has 
  stumbled into some sort of intelligence operation well 
  beyond his capabilities. If approached by federal agents 
  who seem reasonably up-front, and who agree to help 
  apprehend the culprits, he cooperates fully, surrendering a 
  briefcase full of odds and ends that he rapidly assembled 
  on Potentia from his own home office. In the long wait for 
  Wells, he has done what he does best: investigated.
  The paperwork identifies Potentia Holdings, Inc., 
  whose only address is a post-office box in Washington, 
  D.C. Potential reported $300 million in income last year. 
  It has a single employee, Robert Justin Ortega, Ph.D. 
  Belton’s notes on Ortega are brief but interesting. Ortega 
  owns Ancile, Inc., a Department of Defense contractor 
  which produces next- generation “Titanite Weave” body 
  armor supposedly two times stronger than Kevlar and half 
  the weight. (Agents with Occult, Archeology, or History 
  skills recognize “Ancile” as the name of the shield of the 
  war god Mars.)
  Potentia’s post-office box is paid by the law firm Mar-
  cus, Silverman, and Greene, 1099 A Street, Washington, 
  D.C. Potentia’s phone calls to Dinot, Belton, and Wells 
  came from the private line of Aaron Silverman, a lawyer at 
  Marcus, Silverman, and Greene. Belton has assembled the 
  Social Security numbers of all involved, and has print-outs 
  of driver licenses. He refuses to say where he got them.
  Belton has hired four men, under his own employ, to 
  guard Wells at all times. The cost for this is exorbitant, 
  and is not something he will openly share. But he fears for 
  Wells’ life, and rightly so.
  time emergency crews arrived, the structure was complete-
  ly engulfed in blue-white flames that rose five stories in 
  the air. The structure collapsed under the heat, and the fire 
  department struggled simply to keep the fire from spread-
  ing. By 4:00 A.M., the fire had consumed itself, leaving 
  behind a sea of blackened slag.
  By October 4, the fire department suspect arson. In 
  fact, it appears to be arson of a very specialized nature. 
  Evidence of military compounds found in the rubble 
  prompts authorities to notify the FBI. 
  The Agents learn of the fire from FBI chatter on 
  October 4. If they question emergency crews, two fire-
  fighters—veterans of Afghanistan—say without goading 
  that it was clearly an M112 demolition block, or C4 in 
  large amounts, along with some sort of incendiary device, 
  probably thermite.
  Evelyn Wells
  Also on October 4, Evelyn Wells suffers a serious wound 
  to the upper left arm from a high-powered rifle. The bullet 
  destroys much of her upper humerus bone and seriously 
  disrupts tissue. Even this serious damage represents a 
  glancing blow by the rifle round. If it had been centered 
  on her, she would surely be dead. Wells’ arm was saved, 
  though it will never be the same. She is placed in a med-
  ically induced coma to prevent an undue strain on her 
  system. She will wake on October 12.
  Agents looking at the crime scene and witness reports 
  realize Wells dropped her phone and bent to pick it up at 
  the moment she was shot. If this had not happened, it is 
  likely her head would have been in the crosshairs. If the 
  Agents interview Kirkland detectives, one of them could 
  make that observation.
  Witnesses report that despite her injury, Wells took 
  cover, shouted for others to take cover, and fired through 
  the window of the restaurant at a car parked across the 
  street, from which, some witnesses report, muzzle flash-
  es could be seen. Witnesses saw no shooter, and cannot 
  describe the car beyond it being a gray sedan.
  Dinot
  Dinot and Belton are innocent, though at first blush they 
  might seem like suspects. Dinot is far removed from the 
  incident, and won’t even hear about it until October 5,

  crew. His contact with Bellek is by dead drop. Daniels is 
  meticulous in preparing for these pickups, giving him a 
  bonus of +20% to his Alertness if Agents attempt to use 
  Stealth to follow him. If Daniels detects followers, he tries 
  to use Stealth in turn to set an ambush for them.
  Daniels is a ruthless asset who is as eager as he is 
  effective. His mission is to kill Wells. Having failed the 
  first attempt, he is brazen. He will do his best to kill her 
  while she lies in a coma at the hospital. As far as Daniels 
  is concerned, Wells and her associates represent a grave 
  and secret threat to national security. 
  Daniels keeps his operational kit in the Thunder-
  bird’s trunk, though he always carries his pistol and hand 
  grenades in his bulky North Face jacket. If Agents corner 
  Daniels, an M67 hand grenade will come into play, first as 
  a threat, and later as a tool to remove himself as a threat 
  to operational security.
  Daniels’ two flunkies are there more out of loyalty to 
  him than from patriotic fervor. They have no clue as to the 
  machinations Daniels is involved in. 
  Charles A. Soriono
  Soriono is detailed on page 29.
  Soriono is skilled with explosives. He dealt extensively 
  with improvised weapons in Afghanistan, and received a 
  great deal of specialized training. Soriono is the one who 
  destroyed the Dinot, Belton, and Wells Detective Agency 
  (and the connected strip mall) with thermite and an M112 
  demolition block. 
  He has also constructed pipe bombs. These pipe 
  bombs, each about the size of a forearm, are rigged to 
  burner phones, and wired to be detonated by text message. 
  If cornered, or called to set an ambush, Soriono lays a kill 
  zone that is covered in multiple bombs. He will kill or die 
  for Daniels without hesitation.
  Lila Masten
  Masten is detailed on page 30.
  Masten is extremely clever. If confronted by Agents, 
  she puts on a completely believable act as a victim, claim-
  ing she was carjacked or kidnapped. Once the Agent’s 
  attention is elsewhere, she attacks as ruthlessly as neces-
  sary to get away.
  Digital Records
  Much of the detective agency’s records were backed up on-
  line. Agents gaining access to these files (either by strong- 
  arming Dinot or Belton, or by becoming confidants of 
  Wells once she wakes) find a mess of ruined data.
  At first glance, all photos suffer from a header corrup-
  tion error. They appear with a “broken” icon and show 
  no image. On deeper inspection, it becomes clear the 
  damage is much deeper. The files are ravaged. Hours of 
  work might bring back a small portion of a photo, but no 
  general reconstruction is possible. The data, spreadsheets, 
  photos, and other files are ruined.
  Bellek’s Mercenaries
  Michael Bellek—a pseudonym for former MAJESTIC 
  leader Gavin Ross—had access to decades of sensitive in-
  formation on the U.S. armed forces, gleaned from the U.S. 
  government leading up to the destruction of MAJESTIC in 
  2001. Kroft gathered hundreds of useful personnel records, 
  laying in a reserve of operatives for a rainy day.
  He maintains long- prepared but never activated cells 
  waiting to be used for clandestine operations. Bellek 
  hand-picked individuals who had been indoctrinated to do 
  whatever was asked with them, without question.
  Bellek’s current operative is retired Sergeant Major 
  Earle R. Daniels. Daniels had been indoctrinated into a 
  CIA operation called GRIFFIN in 1994, and was given 
  a list of suspected foreign agents operating the U.S. If he 
  received the call, he was to remove the threat. On Octo-
  ber 1, he received the call. The code word was correct, the 
  access word was correct, but the target was new: a private 
  investigator in Washington state named Evelyn Wells.
  Daniels, now the owner of Earle’s Pizza in Sandy 
  Creek, New York, closed shop and set about his mission.
  Earle R. Daniels
  Daniels is detailed on page 29.
  Daniels began his mission with twenty $5,000-dol-
  lar pre paid Visa debit cards. He used those to stay afloat 
  while he stalked Wells and burned the detective agency to 
  the ground, following orders.
  He purchased a used, 1995 Thunderbird off Craigslist, 
  brought his own weapons, and outfitted himself and his

  years, most involving business deals for his patents, and 
  patent protection.
  Agents can easily gain access to secure data in the 
  firm, as the personnel keep strict hours and there is no 
  detectable alarm system, just normal locks. However, such 
  Agents are overcome by the sheer amount of data at the 
  firm, most in paper form. Unless they focus on Aaron Sil-
  verman’s office, it could take them days to find anything of 
  value. The other partners have no information of any use.
  Silverman’s office is adorned with a single, large 
  photograph. It shows a younger Silverman standing next 
  to a tall, thin, vibrant, well-dressed man in his sixties, in 
  front of a large, corporate headquarters sign that reads 
  MARCH TECHNOLOGIES. Silverman’s office holds 
  some papers on March Technologies: stock grants, forfeits, 
  and various director-level changes without any deeper 
  detail as to what, precisely March Technologies is. 
  Online research into March Technologies finds a 
  shallow, corporate website that identifies it as a technolo-
  gy contractor for the U.S. government. It seems mainly to 
  deal in computers and flight navigation. Its directors are 
  retired generals and admirals, and executives from aero-
  space and tech firms, none with a public profile. 
  Paperwork in Silverman’s office and on the dated com-
  puter is mundane, but does trace various names and Social 
  Security numbers. An Agent with at least 50% in Account-
  ing, Bureaucracy, or Law, and who takes a day or two 
  to study the papers and data offsite, places Dr. Grieves, a 
  man named Justin Kroft (the other man in Silverman’s 
  picture), and Robert Ortega in the small town of Upper-
  ville, Virginia, in the 1980s. (Ortega was born there, and 
  Kroft and Grieves were employed by the military there.) 
  All three were represented by Silverman, beginning with 
  Kroft in 1978.
  Kroft and Silverman attended Columbia University at 
  the same time: Kroft for his doctorate in political science 
  and Silverman in pre -law.
  Michael Bellek employs private investigators to keep 
  an eye on the law offices from time to time. If the Agents 
  take too long, or if they are obvious or clumsy, a private 
  investigator pulls up and is surprised to see trouble at the 
  firm for the first time. The investigator calls Bellek, who 
  asks the investigator to call the police and to try to get 
  Their Next Steps
  Daniels is concerned with eliminating Wells before she 
  wakes. He and his mercenaries plot an attack on Swedish 
  Medical Center using every nasty trick in the book. 
  Their most likely plan of attack is for Masten to pose 
  as a flower delivery driver and attempt to locate Wells’ 
  room. Daniels means to attempt another sniper shot to 
  take out Wells. But no such shot is possible due to the 
  room’s placement. Agents who watch Wells very closely 
  and question visitors suspiciously could detect Masten’s 
  duplicity and disrupt the mercenaries’ plan.
  On October 9, Daniels, Soriono, and Masten coordi-
  nate an assault on Wells’ room. This likely takes the form 
  of a distraction to cause confusion, such as a car bomb 
  or fire, followed by all three rushing the room, killing 
  anyone in their path. From there, the group splits up and 
  returns home.
  The Law Firm
  Agents could follow clues from Grieves’ house, and the 
  attack on Wells, to the law firm at the center of every-
  thing and to the heir to MAJESTIC’s secrets, Robert 
  Justin Ortega.
  Marcus, Silverman, and Greene
  The law firm Marcus, Silverman, and Greene is at 1099 
  A Street, Washington, D.C., a renovated three-story row 
  house built in 1861. The law firm has held the property 
  since 1979. The partners come and go, but usually only 
  once or twice a week. Occasionally all three gather and 
  spend the day and early evening at a partners meeting, 
  but the whole business feels like it is running on autopi-
  lot. Secretaries for all three men operate normal business 
  hours, clocking in and out at exact times, and coordinat-
  ing mostly social schedules for the partners. No clients 
  ever come to the location. Albert Marcus and Dominic 
  Greene, when they do show up, are there at the behest of 
  Aaron Silverman, the obvious leader of the firm.
  Research into the firm (requiring Accounting, Bu-
  reaucracy, or Law) reveals it has represented several 
  clients, but is almost exclusively dedicated to Robert 
  Justin Ortega, Ph.D., CEO of Ancile, Inc. The firm has 
  also filed various papers for Dr. Tibalt Grieves over the

  Weather facility. No such helicopter accident was reported 
  in the news or to the FAA. Beyond that, it is a mystery.
  Red Flags
  Agents of the Program who attempt deeper research into 
  March Technologies or Justin Kroft flag alerts in the Pro-
  gram’s own servers. That gets them a tense call from their 
  case officers with instructions to stop pursuing that line of 
  inquiry at once, under orders from the top of the Program 
  itself. Agents of the Outlaws flag the same alerts, but don’t 
  get the benefit of a call. Instead, they may find themselves 
  under investigation by the Program or by March Technol-
  ogies’ own security agents. But that will take weeks, so we 
  leave it to the Handler to explore the possibilities. March 
  Technologies is described in Delta Green: Eyes Only and 
  in the Handler’s Guide.
  Angela Whittier
  Angela Whittier was a favorite server and hostess at the 
  Blackthorne Inn and Restaurant in Upperville, Virginia—a 
  stone’s throw from the Mount Weather facility—through-
  out the late 1970s and early 1980s. She had one child, a 
  boy, born Robert Justin Whittier on 1 JUN 1990. Marcus, 
  Silverman, and Greene conveyed to her the Kroft trust 
  within a month of his birth. She left the Blackthorne to 
  settle down and take care of the boy.
  In 1992, she married Julio Ortega, a metallurgist at 
  Grumman Aerospace. They lived quietly in Upperville. In 
  2004, Angela became ill, and within a year she died of 
  leukemia. She left her son in the legal care of Ortega. Julio 
  Ortega died in 2010.
  Robert Justin Ortega and Ancile, Inc.
  Robert Justin Ortega is a super- successful young inventor 
  and executive, living the high life. He attended Manhat-
  tan College and received a bachelor’s degree in chemical 
  engineering in 2012. Since then, his rise in the defense in-
  dustry has been nothing short of stratospheric. He created 
  several key patents in chemistry dealing with a substance 
  he termed “TitaniteWeave,” considered by many to be the 
  next-generation Kevlar. His company Ancile, Inc., founded 
  in 2012, employs 241 people. It is a well-known success 
  story in the Washington corridor, with many classified 
  government contracts. Ancile’s public-relations team 
  identifiable photos of the intruders and their vehicles. Af-
  ter that, the police arrive in 2D6 minutes.
  Justin Kroft
  Kroft’s Social Security number is enough to unlock a great 
  deal of information about him. His family was Washing-
  ton, D.C. elite. His father, Michael Kroft, was ambassador 
  to Indonesia from 1963 to 1967. Justin began following 
  in his father’s footsteps by going to Columbia to study 
  political science. For an unremarkable student he had an 
  incredible presence. Research at Columbia places him in a 
  fraternity as chapter president, a leader in various charities 
  and functions, and as a favorite to his classmates.
  His past becomes murky in the late 1970s and in the 
  early 1980s, when he was director of a few high- earning 
  but small defense contract companies in Maryland. Two 
  vague documents indicate he was worked for the Depart-
  ment of Defense in the 1980s. 
  The Agents can identify two large purchases that were 
  made in Kroft’s name by Marcus, Silverman, and Greene, 
  and which are still administered by the law firm today. In 
  1989, he bought 27 lots of land: parking lots, a mall, and 
  various real-estate holdings which he placed in a trust. 
  The records are incomplete, and only one of these lots is 
  described with its precise location: a storage facility in 
  Jordan Springs, Virginia. (See JORDAN SPRINGS STORAGE 
  on page 18 for details.)
  The trust was left to Angela Whittier, a resident of 
  Upperville, Virginia, in 1990.
  Agents pulling strings with military connections and a 
  Bureaucracy roll learn that Kroft may have worked for the 
  highly secretive National Reconnaissance Office in the late 
  1970s. A critical success gets hints that he was in charge 
  of some unnamed, blacker-than-black, secret intelligence 
  group. With a fumble, the Agent’s questions get back to 
  Michael Bellek by name. That may mean a visit from his 
  mercenaries (see BELLEK’S MERCENARIES on page 15) to 
  “clear things up.” Whatever the roll, the inquiry catches 
  the Program’s attention. See RED FLAGS for details.
  Kroft died in a helicopter accident in 2001 at age 69. 
  Few records of the incident remain. Agents searching for 
  them are told they were classified by the Department of 
  Defense in 2002. What can be gleaned of the “accident” 
  is that it occurred on January 29, 2001, at the Mount

  Connecting the Dots
  Justin Kroft was a regular at the Blackthorne Inn during 
  his tenure at the Mt. Weather facility, where he served 
  and came to lead the MAJESTIC program. He met Angela 
  Whittier at the Blackthorne Inn in 1989. The two had 
  a brief affair, which led to the birth of Robert Whittier 
  in 1990. Kroft agreed to provide for Whittier, as long as 
  he was apprised of the boy’s progress. In 1992, Robert 
  Whittier became Robert Ortega. By then his mother was 
  wealthy, thanks to the Kroft trust.
  When Gavin Ross escaped from the Program’s custody 
  in 2010, one of his first tasks was making contact with 
  Robert Justin Ortega. Ross knew everything about Ortega, 
  and he knew that Kroft’s treasure trove would go to Or-
  tega soon. Posing as Michael Bellek, confidant of Ortega’s 
  father, he offered advice and help. 
  In 2011, the Kroft trust became the property of 
  Ortega, who, through Aaron Silverman, was informed of 
  his true father’s identity, and given access to certain files 
  and records as Kroft had wanted. Michael Bellek—Orte-
  ga’s “Uncle Michael”—was ready. He helped the young 
  man plan for the best use of the secrets that Kroft had left 
  behind. That started with “TitaniteWeave” and the forma-
  tion of Ancile, and will continue for decades to come.
  Jordan Springs Storage
  This immaculate storage facility covers five acres off the 
  beaten path in semi-rural Jordan Springs, Virginia. It 
  is row after row of white, pristine, climate-controlled 
  storage lockers surrounded by a six-meter razorwire fence 
  with cameras. Ground sensors detect vehicles on the utility 
  road. The property is flat, mowed grass. There is no sign. 
  It is not listed online. Locals believe it to be a government 
  facility. They are not far off.
  In 1989, the facility was closed to the public and be-
  came a dumping ground for Justin Kroft’s “golden para-
  chute.” He began salting away documents, photos and 
  even artifacts from his time with MAJESTIC. While most 
  buildings are empty, some contain startling files, scientific 
  records, and machines that are decades or centuries ahead 
  of the modern world.
  Only Robert Ortega has “clearance” to the site, and 
  may come and go as he pleases; along with any he vouches 
  paints him as a prodigy who augmented his natural talents 
  with a knack for recruiting the finest people: “an engineer-
  ing genius whose true genius is people.”
  Agents searching government databases easily identify 
  Robert Justin Ortega’s mother as Angela Whittier, and find 
  that she worked as a server and hostess outside Mount 
  Weather before Robert’s birth in 1990. A month after his 
  birth, she quit her job and was apparently supported, gen-
  erously, by a blind trust set up by Marcus, Silverman, and 
  Greene for her and her son’s benefit. (See ANGELA WHITTI-
  ER on page 17.) Robert Justin Ortega’s birth certificate lists 
  his father as “Unknown.” Control of the trust passed to 
  Ortega on his 21st birthday in 2011.
  Agents can find unusual details about Ortega only 
  by digging deeply into his past. Former schoolmates and 
  teachers describe Ortega as “distracted.” His good looks 
  and apparent wealth meant he spent most of his time 
  partying. Jealous classmates imply that Ortega cheated on 
  tests and assignments, but no teacher says such a thing.
  Ortega drives a Tesla, lives in a luxury penthouse in 
  Washington, D.C., and owns another in Manhattan, and 
  spends most of his time playing. He does very little work. 
  Occasionally he visits the offices of Ancile or meets Aaron 
  Silverman at a restaurant. If the Agents are lucky, and 
  follow him consistently enough, they may eventually find 
  him meeting up with “Uncle Michael.”
  If approached in person, Ortega is cautious. He says 
  he never knew his father and claims to know nothing 
  about him. If Agents expert in the sciences talk shop, they 
  quickly find him anything but the wunderkind of public 
  perception. He is smart and well informed but no genius. 
  If the Agents make Ortega remotely nervous, he 
  thumbs a button on a fob on his car keys: an alert that 
  summons well-dressed, plain-clothes security officers from 
  Solon Security, a few of whom are never far away. (See 
  SOLON SECURITY on page 20.) The guards wear concealed 
  pistols and carry legal permits for them, and are quick 
  to respond with lethal force to the least appearance of a 
  threat to Ortega. If trouble is worse than that, Ortega is 
  protected zealously by Marcus, Silverman, and Greene, 
  and by their many friends on Capitol Hill and throughout 
  the federal government. Agents responsible for such trou-
  ble rapidly find themselves reassigned or fired. If that’s not 
  enough, Michael Bellek has his mercenaries.

  Agent must make a Luck roll. If it fails, a search is instigat-
  ed by all four guards on the site. 
  The guards shoot to kill. Once things are calm, they 
  call Marcus, Silverman, and Greene. The law firm in-
  structs them to make sure everything is locked down, and 
  to not allow anyone to enter any part of the facility; the 
  guards have firm instructions to never open any of the 
  lockers themselves. Only then do they call the authorities.
  The Sheds
  Only five of the dozens of climate-controlled lockers 
  contain anything at all. Those five are filled are each 
  packed front to back with file boxes, computer equipment, 
  sealed sample cases, biohazard boxes and more. So far, 
  Ortega has only opened one of the five sheds. (He was 
  clearly instructed to never open any others, though he 
  does not know why.) Even that first shed contains enough 
  information to catapult the biological sciences into the 
  future. The information inside is more valuable than any-
  thing on Earth.
  The sheds are all immaculate, clearly numbered, and 
  built from composite materials that are immune to scan-
  ning technologies. Each shed is entered by a single, rolling, 
  automatic door. Next to each door is a small, black glass 
  screen: a thumbprint lock. There is no other human sized 
  access point.
  Agents who specifically look for tread marks in the 
  day—by high-resolution photos taken from a drone, 
  perhaps—observe faint tire tracks leading to one shed and 
  none anywhere else.
  Agents with skills in security do not recognize the 
  scanning lock. It appears to be custom-made. A roll with 
  an appropriate skill reveals that it is military grade, and, 
  if it was installed in 1989, was about two decades ahead 
  of its time. Hacking one of the thumbprint locks requires 
  sophisticated tools and a successful roll with a Craft skill 
  in Electronics or Microelectronics, taking 35 minutes. 
  During that time, the Agent will be exposed if a security 
  officer comes by.
  After a hacking attempt fails, large, red letters 
  appear on the black screen: “WARNING. SCAN 
  FAILED. WARNING.” 
  A second consecutive failure activates the “insurance 
  policy” described below.
  for. So far, he has always come alone. The security on site 
  is stellar, even by military standards.
  Solon Security
  Jordan Springs Storage is guarded by a small, specialty 
  firm called Solon Security, Inc., headquartered in Wash-
  ington, D.C. Enmeshed in a web of legal documents and 
  contracts that make it nearly impossible to locate an 
  actual owner, Solon provides security for several small 
  companies. A Bureaucracy roll uncovers that it was found-
  ed in 1999 by an  Air Force colonel named Robert Coffey, 
  who died in an aircraft accident in 2001. Its ownership 
  since then has been scattered to various front companies 
  and offshore firms. Reports on Coffee’s death, like those 
  of Kroft, are spotty at best.
  Solon was initially staffed by veterans of MAJES-
  TIC’s Project BLUE FLY, special operators who were once 
  tasked with containing alien threats. Only a single BLUE 
  FLY veteran remains in the company now, an ex- Marine 
  named Joshua J. Dodd, who rides a desk in Washington, 
  D.C., and oversees recruitment. 
  The company’s security officers are former special 
  operators who enjoy the snooze fest at Jordan Springs, not 
  to mention the fat checks and bonuses offered by the tiny 
  firm. They have orders to protect that facility with their 
  lives. As easy as the duty has always been, each takes that 
  order very seriously. Most are convinced they are guarding 
  an intelligence black site.
  The site is always staffed by at least four guards. If the 
  Agents are not paying attention, they might be mistaken 
  for simple security guards. But each is a hardened veteran 
  from special operations, all having seen combat in the 
  most violent war zones in the world. This is one of the 
  reasons Gavin Ross will never show his face at this facility, 
  though he is well aware of its existence and contents. He 
  knows that Coffey founded Solon, and there was no love 
  lost between them. He expects that he is persona non gra-
  ta there, whatever Ortega might have to say.
  Entering the facility is difficult. Climbing the fence 
  and avoiding the razorwire requires an Athletics test; the 
  Agent takes 1D6 damage if that fails. Making it unseen 
  from the fence to the buildings requires a Stealth roll. On 
  a failure, a Solon guard makes an Alertness roll. If that 
  succeeds, the disturbance is called in. At that point, the

  Treat these files as an unnatural document, one that 
  can damage the mind of someone who spends a large 
  amount of time studying it.
  Justin Kroft’s MAJESTIC Documents
  In English. Study time: days. Unnatural +4%, 
  SAN loss 1D4+1.
  Papers or digital files that indicate man is not alone in 
  the universe, and that contain secrets of science decades or 
  centuries beyond the modern era. With a Science skill such 
  as Biology or Physics of 50% or higher and a successful 
  skill roll, the Agent learns one significant, enactable bit of 
  alien science. (This remains up to the Handler to devise.)
  The moment this information surfaces anywhere it 
  should not be, the Program’s security officers begin pur-
  suing those who provided it. Unless it is surrendered, and 
  those in pursuit are mollified, the Agent eventually turns 
  up the victim of a lone suicide. (Again, the details remain 
  up to the Handler.)
  Michael Bellek
  Michael Bellek, retired machinist from Detroit, is in 
  fact Gavin Ross, a former leader of MAJESTIC. Ross 
  is detailed in the Handler’s Guide for Delta Green: The 
  Role-Playing Game. 
  Ross has all the paperwork to back up his identity as 
  Michael Bellek. Bellek exists everywhere the Agents might 
  search for him, except the real world. No photo or other 
  solid evidence of Bellek can be found, though his birth 
  certificate, Social Security records, and tax returns all 
  check out. Running his fingerprints brings up only Bellek’s 
  information. He has no record of arrests or troubles 
  with the law.
  The only real possibility of locating Bellek is through 
  Robert Ortega. They meet once a month, at a new lo-
  cation each time, usually a restaurant. Ortega calls him 
  “Uncle Mike” but says nothing about him to the Agents. 
  Ortega suspects that Bellek had another identity in the 
  old days, when it seems he worked with Ortega’s father in 
  the most secret corners of the government. But he has no 
  reason to push.
  If the Agents track him down, Bellek seems open and 
  affable, and a little baffled by the attention—but if he has 
  The Insurance Policy
  Agents may get it in their heads to pull strings and raid the 
  Jordan Springs facility with federal authorities, or even the 
  military. Upon doing so, they unleash hell. 
  Confronted by a law enforcement response with the 
  proper warrants, the Solon guards surrender without a 
  shot being fired. However, there is an insurance policy 
  at play here. There’s a good reason that the guards have 
  ironclad orders to never open any of the sheds. 
  Forcibly breaching any shed detonates the stockpile of 
  explosives built neatly into a small, encased cement pit in 
  each building. These go up, one by one, inflicting Lethality 
  60% to anyone on the premises, and Lethality 10% to 
  anyone outside within 10 meters of the fenceline.
  After the explosion, nothing remains of the facility.
  This huge explosion makes national news and brings 
  Marcus, Silverman, and Greene into the spotlight. Af-
  ter a quick investigation, the FBI reports that a terrorist 
  stockpile of explosives, meant for Washington D.C., was 
  detonated during a raid. This story, spun by authorities far 
  beyond the pay grade of the Agents and with the coopera-
  tion of the Program, consumes the news for months. Sur-
  viving Agents are expected to play ball. Those who refuse 
  find themselves in greater trouble than a grand jury.
  The Motherlode
  Agents who somehow gain access to a shed likely have lit-
  tle time to stay. It is more likely that they hastily grab files, 
  computer drives, and small samples, and then run for it. 
  Escaping unseen requires a Stealth roll; climbing the fence 
  safely requires an Athletics roll, as with entering.
  The items grabbed by the Agent hint at, but never 
  clearly establish just where the files came from. They 
  concern the activities of various top-secret, special-ac-
  cess programs with code-names like SIGMA, ARES, and 
  BOUNCE. One has Kroft’s signature above his typed 
  name, listed as DIRECTOR MJ, with a date of 9 OCT 85. 
  One document, marked TS/SAP—MAJESTIC/NOFORN, 
  contains technical details. This information (be it the 
  chemistry behind a petawatt laser, dated 2 SEP 1988, de-
  cades before its time, or a chemical compound called AM 
  2, which causes “the brain to fail to form new memories 
  for 12 hours, with no ill effects”), it is incredibly valuable.

  If the Agents are not that amenable, he sets his sights 
  lower. He either bribes or kills his way out of the situation, 
  and disappears. If the Agents are foolish enough to use 
  their real names, payback will be had, and soon.
  He does everything possible to avoid letting the 
  Agents take his photo or take him into custody. 
  Bellek always carries a pistol beneath his coat. His 
  wallet holds identification, his Social Security card, and an 
  American Express black card. (The account is in Bellek’s 
  name; it is always paid in full at the end of the month 
  by one of the countless dummy corporations managed 
  on Robert Ortega’s behalf by Marcus, Silverman, and 
  Greene.) In a repurposed money  belt, he keeps his remain-
  ing nine months of ARD 15 in small, hermetically sealed 
  containers. He claims the pills are vitamins. If they are 
  confiscated, he immediately shifts to fight-and-flight mode, 
  doing anything (and killing anyone) to recapture them.
  ARD 15 Addiction
  Without access to his daily regimen of ARD 15, Bellek 
  suffers 1D4 –2 damage per day (with a minimum of 0) as 
  his body begins to digest itself. He wastes away from a 
  vibrant older man to something like a death-camp victim, 
  barely moving under his own power. When he hits 0 HP, 
  he perishes and is discovered as a desiccated skeleton in a 
  bag of skin. Cause of death is total organ failure.
  CDC Flight 191 Secure
  CDC Flight 191 Secure, a Beechcraft C-12 Huron in rota-
  tion with both the National Guard and used for various 
  operations with the DEA and other agencies, was based 
  at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The pilots, Captain 
  Ivan Szabo and Captain Michelle Grant, were experienced 
  pilots, and the flight was expected to be uneventful. 
  It was called into service for the CDC on October 2 to 
  move material recovered at Grieves’ home to the CDC lab-
  oratories in Atlanta. That was to be an 11-hour flight with 
  a refueling stop in St. Louis.
  The Grieves material was in a small sample case, 
  marked UNKNOWN BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE 1. At 
  9:49 AM, October 2, the flight disappeared. Butte, Mon-
  tana, air control placed its last known location over the 
  Clearwater National Forest in Idaho.
  any warning at all, he has a team of mercenaries watching 
  through sniper scopes as bodyguards.
  Bellek says he knew Ortega’s stepfather Julio, long 
  ago, but he refuses to give details. He says they both 
  did top-secret work for government contractors and he 
  can’t give away more than that. An Agent who makes 
  a HUMINT or Psychotherapy roll that beats Bellek’s 
  Persuade roll gets the feeling he is extremely clever and is 
  holding something back.
  Confronting Bellek
  If the Agents are convinced that there’s more to Bellek 
  than he says, he reacts with a cool head. If there’s no 
  persuading them, then he looks for ways to use them. As 
  Gavin Ross, he had the smartest, most determined opera-
  tors in the government dancing like puppets. He is always 
  operating a dozen steps ahead of even the brightest Agent.
  He actively memorizes every possible detail about the 
  Agents: their names, license plates, agency IDs, eye colors, 
  distinguishing marks, accents, body language and speech 
  habits that indicate military or law-enforcement back-
  ground, and so on.
  Bellek is not above offering assistance to the Agents in 
  dealing with their “Ulee” problem. Really, he understands 
  little of what happened, but he wants the Agents to think 
  that that he offers enormous help at very little cost.
  To win their trust, if the Agents let anything slip about 
  their involvement in investigating the unnatural, Bellek 
  spills that he knows about Delta Green. He may say that 
  he used to be a Delta Green agent, himself, and he knows 
  how ruthless they are about their mission. He got out, and 
  he has spent years keeping a low profile to protect himself 
  and the family that he will never see again. He expects 
  that the Agents know what he means. His top priority, if 
  he helps them, is keeping his secrets. They have to swear 
  not to report him to Delta Green. 
  If the Agents go along with that, Bellek aims to be-
  come their secret patron. He gradually reveals that he was 
  exposed to other secret programs, back in the 1980s and 
  1990s. One tidbit at a time, he reveals secrets that Delta 
  Green would never reveal. But he gives only enough to 
  keep the Agents alive, to keep them wanting more, and to 
  tighten his hold.

  Federal agents, the National Parks Service, and other 
  agencies were alerted to the flight’s disappearance. Smoke 
  was reported in the Clearwater National Forest by 11:22 
  A.M. and search flights confirmed the crash site. The CDC 
  ordered search-and-rescue crews to stay away until the 
  Agents arrive.
  The plane spiraled in, hit the canopy of trees, and 
  exploded on impact with the ground. Large pieces of 
  the aircraft were flung far from a burned crater, where 
  nothing much larger than a foot survived. Searchers found 
  the ruined, punched open-remains of the UNKNOWN 
  BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE 1 case nearby.
  Though human remains were expected, no bod-
  ies were found.
  The Ulee-Things
  Ulee One began as a tiny, pinhead- sized sample of Blue 
  Blood, which broke the containment of the cabinet in 
  Grieves’ lab and insinuated itself into Grieves’ mouth. In 
  its “inert” form, it appears like nothing as much as blue 
  modeling clay.
  Once insinuated into living tissue, it hijacks the tissue, 
  consumes it, and rewrites it. If given time to “concentrate,” 
  these changes can be molded into new shapes to suit the 
  creature’s needs from moment to moment. If done hurried-
  ly, limbs and other extrusions created by the beast appear 
  malformed, random, or even inside -out.
  Communicating With a Ulee
  They may not look like it, but each Ulee-thing is an 
  intelligent creature. Formerly human, it contains 22 years 
  of torment and insanity. It is driven by a singular urge: to 
  reunite with “its” family.
  Agents who think the Ulee is mindless are in for a 
  very unpleasant surprise. Ulee still recalls human customs 
  and behaviors. Grown large enough, it can drive and use 
  the telephone. It cannily distracts threats that it cannot 
  directly confront.
  Agents with knowledge of Ulee’s past can use it 
  against “him.” Even something as simple as calling Ulee 
  by name can distract it, buying an Agent 1D6 turns of 
  respite as the creature is torn by internal conflict. But this 
  only works once.
  Mentioning Ulee’s wife has the opposite effect. It caus-
  es the creature to enter a killing frenzy, ignoring all threats 
  as it focuses on the target who uttered Isabella’s name.
  Ulee vs. Ulee
  Each Ulee is certain of its own identity as the only one. 
  Discovering another Ulee immediately causes the creature 
  to focus its attention on the other Ulee, ignoring all else, 
  even members of “its” family. It relentlessly hunts other 
  Ulees until they are dead. Since all Ulees eventually arrive 
  in Billings, Montana, the area may become a war  zone. 
  That makes the unnatural nature of these attacks diffi-
  cult to cover up.
  Plotting to cause Ulees to cross paths is a viable op-
  tion to remove at least one of them. A larger Ulee devours 
  a smaller one in 1D10 minutes. The combat is loud and 
  messy, and likely reduces whatever structure they are in to 
  rubble. Witnessing the rending and consumption of one 
  Ulee by another costs an Agent 1/1D4 SAN.
  During this distraction, Agents could douse the Ulees 
  in kerosene or gasoline—or even better, douse a struc-
  ture in such an accelerant, draw them inside, and ignite 
  it. Clever Agents could capture a small Ulee, cage it, and 
  use it draw a larger Ulee to a killing ground that has been 
  rigged with explosives.
  10441 Great Sky Way
  Isabella Ulee lives in a modest, four- bedroom, two- bath 
  house in Billings, Montana. It is an old-fashioned house, 
  built sometime in the 1930s. It has been the home of 
  Isabella Ulee and her son, Malcolm, since 1993, after the 
  death of Lt. Daniel Ulee. Isabella bought it outright with 
  the mysterious settlement she was paid by the military 
  within months of the accident.
  This location is not known to the Ulee-things, who 
  still think of Isabella’s address as the house they lived in 
  before his death: 19099 Pulaski Street, Billings. But the 
  phone number remains the same, and this address is listed 
  in the phone book.
  The house is on a single level, on a large lot of land 
  surround by low trees and a cattle fence, with a single, 
  unlit dirt road leading to the drive.

  Malcolm Ulee
  Malcolm Ulee (white male, born in 1992) is Lt. Ulee’s son, 
  born months after the accident which claimed his father’s 
  life. He married at 18, and recently went through a con-
  tentious divorce which forced him to move home with his 
  mother. He sells used cars for a living.
  Malcolm will do anything for his mother, and will 
  fight with surprising fervor to protect her, risking his life 
  without thought. He was a high-school sports star, and 
  knows his way around a baseball bat. His stats and skills 
  are average but for Str 14, Cha 13, Athletics 60%, Driv-
  ing 50%, Melee Weapons (baseball bats only) 60%, and 
  Persuade 65%.
  Malcolm Ulee has no memory of his father, and does 
  not “recognize” a Ulee -thing.
  Isabella Ulee
  Isabella Ulee (white female, born in 1948) is a dental hy-
  gienist at Delta Dental in Billings.
  Isabella is a level headed widow who never remarried. 
  Instead, she focused her attention on her son Malcolm, 
  born seven months after the death of Lt. Ulee. She has 
  been modest with the government “accident pay,” and 
  after buying the house outright she invested the remainder. 
  She has been a dental hygienist since 1995.
  When confronted by any of the Ulee-things, on a 
  failed SAN roll she automatically suffers maximum SAN 
  loss, as she is overwhelmed with recognition of her de-
  ceased husband.

  » 4:01 A.M. (SECRET): Ulee One (now weighing ap-
  proximately 25 kg) escapes to a nearby, rotted-out 
  trailer in a property behind Grieves’ Mill Creek 
  home. Finding shade, it sleeps.
   
  » 5:45 A.M.: Seattle Times delivery driver Ernesto 
  Torres finds the body of retired geneticist Tibalt 
  Grieves in the driveway of Grieves’ home. Torres 
  calls the police. 
   
  » 6:01 A.M.: Police officers Michael Grant and Jeffrey 
  Daly arrive. They detain Torres but do not arrest 
  him. Their reports say that Grieves had suffered 
  grievous wounds to his mouth, neck, and face, and 
  that crows had gathered to pick at the body.
   
  » 6:05 A.M.: Finding Tibalt’s front door open, of-
  ficers Grant and Daly enter the house. They find 
  another body, later identified as Grieves’ live- in 
  girlfriend, Amanda Griffin. The officers report that 
  Griffin’s mouth is covered in blood, which had 
  congealed to a blue-black pile, and her skin has a 
  distinct blue tinge. 
   
  » 6:09 A.M.: The officers cordon off the house and call 
  for detectives and the medical examiner.
   
  » 6:32 A.M.: Snohomish County Medical Examiner 
  Louis Stubbs arrives with medical investigators. De-
  tective Emily Dunser arrives a few minutes later.
   
  » 6:45 A.M.: Dunser and Stubbs enter the house. An 
  evidence technician takes photos.
   
  » 7:09 A.M.: Sunrise. Officers outside call Stubbs to 
  look at something strange happening to Grieves’ 
  body. Over eight minutes, it collapses into a blue- 
  black “goo” that solidifies to the consistency of 
  hard candy and smells of chlorine and honey. The 
  process leaves only Grieves’ left hand and feet 
  intact. Time-stamped photographs cover most of 
  this disintegration. Stubbs and his assistant bag and 
  seal the remains.
   
  » 7:21 A.M.: Detective Dunser and the evidence 
  technician photograph what look like small, bloody 
  footprints in the kitchen, near Griffin’s body. These 
  prints, smaller than a toddler’s, seem deformed and 
  misplaced. A clear toe mark indicates at least one of 
  the tracks is human.
   
  » 7:25 A.M.: Dunser follows the strange tracks to the 
  closet that holds the furnace. Behind the furnace, 
  Resolution
  Destroying all the Ulee-things, and removing all Blue 
  Blood samples from the public, is the ultimate goal of this 
  operation. A kind Handler may reward Agents who delve 
  deeper into the mystery by tracking down Robert Ortega, 
  or who piece together the secret history of MAJESTIC and 
  Justin Kroft. Michael Bellek can prove a dangerous antag-
  onist to hound the Agents, or an even more dangerous ally 
  and patron. The secrets of March Technologies, of course, 
  lead deep into the black.
  Sanity Rewards
  The Agents can gain SAN by stopping the un-
  natural threats.
  If the Agents destroy all Blue Blood samples, each 
  gains 1D4 SAN.
  For each Ulee-thing they destroy, each 
  Agent gains 1 SAN.
  If they destroy Robert Ortega’s stockpile of MAJES-
  TIC technology, each gains 1D4 SAN.
  If they piece together the connections between Or-
  tega, Kroft, MAJESTIC, and March Technologies, each 
  gains 1D4–1 SAN.
  If they realize the Program is an active part of all that, 
  each loses 0/1D4 SAN.
  Timeline
  All important events of Viscid are outlined below. Events 
  of the first three days are reprinted from the Agents’ brief-
  ing for the Handler’s convenience. Events marked “Secret” 
  are unknown to the Agents at first but may be revealed by 
  their actions. All times are Pacific Standard Time.
  October 1
   
  » 3:53 A.M. (SECRET): Dr. Tibalt Grieves accidentally 
  wakes Ulee One, which insinuates itself into him. It 
  leaps from his neck, along with a great deal of his 
  flesh. In his death throes, Grieves stumbles outside 
  and dies in the driveway.
   
  » 3:55 A.M. (SECRET): Amanda Griffin wakes and sees 
  Ulee One. It kills her, eats, and grows.

  » 8:01 A.M.: The CDC loads Unknown Biological 
  Sample 1 onto CDC Flight 191 Secure, a small 
  plane with a crew of two. It departs for Atlanta.
   
  » 9:46 A.M.: Butte, Montana, air control loses contact 
  with Flight 191 after a moment of garbled radio. 
  There was no report of malfunction. The tran-
  sponder places Flight 191 in Clearwater National 
  Forest, Idaho.
   
  » 11:22 A.M.: Search-and-rescue flights spot smoke 
  and locate the wreckage of Flight 191. The CDC 
  instructs rescuers to stay away from the wreckage.
   
  » SOMETIME THAT DAY (SECRET): Ulee Two assimilates 
  the remains of the pilots and grows to approxi-
  mately 250 kg. It begins its trek to Montana to 
  find “its” wife.
   
  » SOMETIME THAT NIGHT (SECRET): Earle Daniels, 
  Charles Soriono, and Lila Masten, Ross’ operators, 
  arrive in Mill Creek. They set about their plan to 
  destroy all records and personnel who might con-
  nect Ross to Grieves.
  October 3
   
  » 2:45 A.M. (SECRET): Charles Soriono destroys the 
  Dinot, Belton, and Wells Detective agency with an 
  M112 demolition block and thermite, leveling its 
  whole strip mall.
   
  » 8:00 A.M.: Operation MALTA begins. 
  October 4
   
  » SOMETIME THAT DAY (SECRET): Earl Daniels stalks 
  Evelyn Wells. At lunch, he almost kills her with a 
  single, high- powered rifle shot.
   
  » 12:30 P.M.: Evelyn Wells is shot with a high powered 
  rifle while eating lunch at Qdoba. She is not killed 
  outright, but is gravely wounded and moved to 
  Swedish Medical Center for hours of surgery. She is 
  placed in a medically induced coma.
  October 5
   
  » 9:59 P.M. (SECRET): Ulee Three reconstitutes itself 
  in the Snohomish County morgue and escapes 
  into the night.
  Dunser finds a wall standing on a hinge, swing-
  ing freely. Behind is a room built in what had 
  been the garage.
   
  » 7:29 A.M.: In the hidden room, Stubbs recognizes an 
  expensive biohazard lab complete with air scrub-
  bers and an air conditioner that maintains negative 
  air pressure. Stubbs orders everyone out and alerts 
  the CDC and the FBI. Mill Creek Police Chief Bob 
  Crannel orders that no one be allowed to leave the 
  scene. Police set up a cordon around the block. 
   
  » 8:40 A.M.: A CDC team led by Roberta Kane ar-
  rives from Seattle. FBI agents and the first of many 
  reporters soon follow. A biohazard tent is built 
  around the house. Everyone who has been exposed 
  to the house and to Grieves’ body is removed 
  to Providence Regional Medical Center in Ever-
  ett, Washington. The CDC tests them for infec-
  tious diseases.
   
  » 9:21 A.M.: Elizabeth McReady and Marty Pos-
  thewaite, Grieves’ next-door neighbors, are 
  evacuated from their homes. They return home 
  in the evening.
   
  » 10:21 A.M.: Kane examines Grieves’ lab. She collects 
  unusual samples from a small, silver sample case 
  with biohazard markings and a stamp which reads, 
  “BOUNCE.” Inside are twelve vacuum-sealed pack-
  ages containing a substance that Kane designates 
  “Unknown Biological Sample 1.” One package is 
  open. Kane describes its contents as “undifferentiat-
  ed cellular material with human characteristics.”
   
  » 11:50 A.M.: Kane, a Delta Green contact, alerts a 
  case officer to the strange things found in Grieves’ 
  house. Operation MALTA is set in motion.
   
  » 2:40 P.M.: The CDC orders the samples collected 
  from the Grieves lab flown to Atlanta for study.
   
  » 11:30 P.M.: All who had been exposed to the house 
  or the bodies are cleared of pathogens and released.
   
  » SOMETIME THAT NIGHT (SECRET): Ulee One begins to 
  feed on nearby pets in the neighborhood.
   
  » SOMETIME THAT NIGHT (SECRET): Gavin Ross (aka 
  Michael Bellek) learns of Grieve’s death and ac-
  tivates a team of covert operators to remove any 
  threads that might connect him to Grieves.

  PLASTIC ANATOMY: The Ulee sample can reform limbs as 
  needed on the fly, growing vaguely fetal, eyes, and mouths in 
  seconds, all with blue tinted skin.
  RESILIENT AND REGENERATIVE: When not exposed to ultraviolet 
  B rays or open flame, and not reduced to 0 HP, the Ulee sample 
  regenerates 1 HP at the beginning of every turn. At 0 HP, it has 
  been too badly disrupted to reform quickly. But if left alone, it

  growing and insinuating limbs into a target, all the while 
  absorbing blood and tissue to grow.

  Ulee Sample
  This is Ulee Three when only about 5 kg, still growing 
  in the remains of Amanda Griffin. This form is barely 
  distinguishable as a shape, mostly blue-white cartilage and 
  musculature grown from interior organs with rudimentary 
  eyelike structures, randomly spaced. If disturbed by an 
  examination of Griffin’s body, it causes the body to twitch 
  as if trying to stir. If the stirring shape in Griffin’s torso is 
  exposed surgically, the sample seizes the examiner’s hand 
  and chews through gloves, seeking nutrients from blood 
  and tissue. If harmed, it attempts to scuttle out of sight 
  seeking less threatening biomass.

  damage in the first minute, with no regeneration, and 1D20 per 
  minute after that.
  SAN LOSS: 1/1D6.
  Ulee, Medium
  At about 200 kg, this form is approximately the size of a 
  small brown bear. It is composed of two “midsections,” a 
  dozen human like limbs (seven arms and five legs), two 
  heads, and extra eyes and ears here and there.

  HP 45  WP 11
  SKILLS: Same as the small Ulee.
  ABILITIES: Same as the small Ulee, but its Unarmed Combat 
  attack roll affects up to three targets within reach each turn.
  SAN LOSS: 1/1D8.
  Ulee, Large
  At about 1,000 kg, this is as large as Ulee gets. Imagine a 
  sphere composed of interconnected and repurposed limbs, 
  tied together in bizarre ways, most tipped with eyes or 
  ending in weird, double-hinged human mouths. It is fast, 
  resilient, and utterly terrifying.
