[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays

"No need to get too close. I don't want too much blowing around down there, so you tell me, Captain.", says Andrews.

 

[Gomez]

"There is a nice spot about 100 yards away.” he says. The helicopter lands and you head over to the car. It appears that it was driven into a depression and buried in dirt. It is obvious that some animal has gone to great lengths to dig up the roof.

 

[taitzu52]

"Alright," says Andrews, "let's get on the horn and call the State police. They need to get us a highway crew up here and dig this out. Let's see what we can run in the computer with what we've got." Andrews approaches the area, if there's a trench spade on the chopper, he takes that with him. He circles around, looking for tracks, and then approaches the car itself. "Someone went through a lot of trouble here, Brown. How long do you think it's been out here?", says Andews as he tries to observe/uncover enough of the vehicle to see inside, and also look for tag and VIN numbers.

"Hold up, a second, Andrews." Before the digging starts, Solomon pulls out his digital camera and photographs the scene form several different angles, especially any tracks or marks that might be disturb digging the car out or uncovering the VIN/tags. Then he gets to work helping Andrews.

 

[Gomez]

The Sheriff calls for help on the heliocopter radio and then helps out trying to dig out the car. Or atleast get a look at the inside and at the VIN number. After about 30 minutes of hard digging (you only have a small digging tool from the heliocoper), you expose a section of the front window. Looking inside with the help of a flash light you see a body laying on the front seat. It appears to be a man in an advanced state of decay. In other words he is very Ripe. His belly has been riped open and his intestines are spilled out onto the front seat. (Sanity Checks! You both fail your rolls and lose 2 sanity points each!)

Andrews rolls off to the side and spills his breakfast all over the dusty desert floor.

(OOC- Hehe!! And I HAD read the OOC first. I was prepared for unpreparedness!)

 

[Maerdwyn]

Solomon just turns and moves direcly away from the car and chain smokes, looking out off in the distance until he gets himself under control.

 

[Gomez]

Soon, men from the reservation police and the state patrol show up and you are able to dig out the car. It is a 2003 Ford Taurus and has Texas license plates.

Upon opening the car door, the stench from the inside is horrendous. Several of the men loose their lunches.

 

[taitzu52]

After Andrews pulls himself back together a bit, he walks over to the chopper and gets on the radio. "How long do we have you today?", he asks the pilot.

He calls in to Dr. Gutierez and Major Garrett, requesting forensics, and a coroner. "My appologies to the Arizona Comproller for all the overtime we've stirred up, but we've got to get this done.", he tells the Major. He'll also have him look up the tags if possible to see them. He then calls DC to give the Director an update, and to see if he has any more resources available that Andrews was unaware of.

He then gets out his map and looks at where they are in relation to the abandoned cars, etc. Trying to avoid the passanger until forensics show, Andrews will direct the men to search the trunk.

 

[Maerdwyn]

When he's able, Solomon calls in the plates, and has the Phoenix office check the owners against any missing persons lists. He also calls the coronors office, calling them in, and, incidentally, preparing them for the...status...of the corpse. He also tries to arrange for a forensics team to go over the car, but is willing to leave that duty to Andrews, since he was able to get them in so promptly yesterday.

edit: great minds think alike, and apparently, simlutaneously
