What can I possibly write? How do I get it all across? I should've told you everything when it happened. I should have said—what? Fuck. I don't know. This? Hey Cind, how are you! A bunch of guys put these worms in themselves. They're not normal worms. They're from somewhere outside all of this. Okay, got it? And these guys were robbing banks, and I was trying to find them. It was great. We had a map and everything. Phone records. Names. We followed them and photographed them and got ready for the raid. And then one day—Cind, you won't believe this. One day I woke up naked, covered in Vaseline, bleeding and sprawled at the bottom of an empty pool in an abandoned YWCA in Detroit. Remember the night of the twenty voicemails? Well, that's where I was. I wasn't dead, shot on some raid. I wasn't cheating. I didn't tell you then. I'm sorry. I lied. So, here I am coming clean. These worms, they start out small. They crawl in your gut and grow, and they shit the Philosopher's Stone, and you live forever. Sounds great, right? Only it's not. I've seen what's left of a body when these things are done with it. They breed and you explode like a party favor filled with rotting guts and flailing worms. I've SEEN this happen. There's a worm in me now. I'm not going to wait around for it. And I see now, I can't write anything to you about it. I'm sorry, Cind. I'm very sorry. I still love you. Delta Green 8 OVERVIEW Players come to Delta Green for all kinds of reasons. They’re eager to solve a mystery, kill a villain or ​ ​ ​ ​ destroy a monster. These outcomes are never simple. Sometimes even seeing the threat in a Delta Green ​ ​ ​ operation is enough to annihilate a group of agents. So consider this overview a warning. ​ Delta Green is about fear. ​ ​ It may seem to be about other things from time to time. About manipulation. About power. About control. ​ It has all these things, but that’s not what it’s about. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ It lies. ​ Delta Green is about an agent, alone and off the record, breaking into an old woman’s house in ​ ​ ​ Brooklyn because for a split­second she cast the shadow of a hunched, monstrous thing with jaws like a jackal. Delta Green is about two women who pulled off the heist of the Mayan Codex from the American ​ ​ Museum of Natural History—an operation six months in the planning—only to burn it in a pyre of gasoline and wood in an abandoned field, mourning their lost teammates whom it drove to madness. Delta Green is about watching from the Blackhawk jumpseat as something bigger than the forest ​ ​ snatches your strike team’s helicopters from the air like flies. ​ ​ Delta Green is not about guns. ​ ​ Delta Green is not about a bug hunt. ​ ​ Delta Green is not about understanding. ​ ​ ​ ​ Delta Green is about the end. ​ The end of everything. Your family, everyone you know, your country, all life on Earth. It’s about the end ​ ​ ​ of everything and your place in it. Because you’ll end, too. That’s what the fear is about. That’s what the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ game is about. Delta Green is about the end of everything—and how much of it you’ll live to see. ​ ​ ​ ​ Welcome. THE WORLD OF DELTA GREEN Delta Green is a covert group inside the United States federal government. Its mission is to investigate, contain, and conceal unnatural events, because the unnatural is real and it kills. The world of Delta Green is ​ ​ ​ ​ like our own, but beyond the edges of reality are powers that outstrip the human mind’s capacity for ​ ​ understanding. Sometimes those powers bleed through into our world and destroy everything they touch. Agents of Delta Green have limited knowledge of these forces. If you’re an agent, it is likely you have ​ ​ ​ ​ experienced the unnatural at least once. This inciting event is likely what brought you to the attention of Delta Green in the first place. A few know more. They suffer that knowledge like a cancer of the mind. Sometimes it’s better to know just enough to get the job done, and nothing more. That’s the first rule of ​ ​ ​ ​ Delta Green. THE UNNATURAL IN THE MODERN ERA In a world of smartphones and instantaneous communication, how can the secret of the unnatural ever be kept? The answer is simple. It doesn’t have to be kept because it keeps itself. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ First, the genuinely unnatural is rare, and unnatural events that destroy more than a few human lives at ​ ​ ​ ​ a time are extremely rare.

  • Mi-Go 1 Mi-Go
    Mi-go 1 Mi-go An interpretation of the Mi-Go by Ruud Dirven Mi-go ("The Abominable Ones") is a Himalayan nickname for a race of extraterrestrials in the Cthulhu Mythos created by H. P. Lovecraft and others. The name was first applied to the creatures in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931), elaborating on a reference to 'What fungi sprout in Yuggoth' in his sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30) which described the contrasting vegetation on alien dream-worlds. Summary The "Mi-go" are large, pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities the size of a man; where a head would be, they have a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae. According to two reports in the original short story, their bodies consist of a form of matter that does not occur naturally on Earth; for this reason, they do not register on ordinary photographic film. They are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat. They are about five feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean-like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. They possess a pair of membranous bat-like wings which are used to fly through the "aether" of outer space (a scientific concept which is now discredited). The wings do not function well on Earth. Several other races in Lovecraft's Mythos also have wings like these. The Mi-go can transport humans from Earth to Pluto (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

  • Night Floors by Dennis Detwiller
    Night Floors ©2008 Dennis Detwiller (With help from Robert Parker) “Night Floors” is a Delta Green scenario set in Manhattan, New York. The investigators play Delta Green agents and/or friendlies brought in to catalogue the articles of a missing painter. The bizarre tapestry of items in her apartment hints at something more than the everyday; for those few who can solve the mystery the rewards are reaped . elsewhere. Background Abigail Laura Wright is missing. A successful commercial illustrator and artist, Abigail was last seen four days before she was reported missing by her father, Thomas Wright. Thomas Wright is a Nassau County police officer and he has pulled some strings to get the NYPD more involved than is usually the case. Abigail had been living in Manhattan for more than seven years and has only been to the police once, to report a mugging in 1994 (still unsolved). Besides this, she has a distinguished academic record and an impressive list of credentials and former clients. Late last year, her first show was held on Franklin Street downtown at The Mercury, a small but trendy art gallery. She managed to sell fifteen pieces, and with this money took a half-year off to paint. Six months later she disappeared. Her father tried reaching her for four days before calling a friend at the NYPD on June 4th. When the police opened her studio on 32nd Street East they found a baffling tableaux. What once was a modest apartment had become an obsessive-compulsive’s dream. Every available surface was covered in junk, glued or taped to the walls.
