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

"All right, well they better head in and see what's going on. He was waiting right past the first bend when I walked into his bullett. Use a few flash-bangs, but there's something weird going on so be prepared..."

The Sheriff turns to the SWAT Captain. "Ok do it! My men will back you up!"

The SWAT team gets in position and the Captain give the go signal. A group of two rush inside the cave followed by two more. Several loud bangs are heard from inside the cave. After a minute, the SWAT Captain who is listening to his headphones says "It's all clear. There are several bodies inside but no live Perp."

"What happened?" asks Andrews as he walk up to the cave mouth, "Was that cover fire or was there an exchange?" He grabs a light and walks into the cave, pistol still in hand. "Alright, check for any back crevices and clear out. Nobody touches nothing until forensics arrives." He signals for Brown and Colorados to move up with him to ID the bodies.

"What happened?" Solomon says simultaneously with Andrews. he moves with his partner down to the cave, looking for at least the body of a tall middle aged Apache. "Maybe he took himself out when he saw the SWAT team..."

Once inside the cave you see a grisly sight. A pile of knife-marked bones with two human skulls. Andrews notices a bloody fingerprint on one of the leg bones. There are also two bodies in the cave. One is an older Indian is right arm is missing and it looks like his face has been eaten off. The other is a younger Indian in his early twenties. He looks to have died recently, as his body has not been mutilated yet. Though both of the intact bodies have numerous pinprick holes on their torsos.

In one corner of the cave is a semi-transparent sphere slightly larger than a basketball. It is made of a dark material. Lights and circuitry can be seen through its nearly opaque surface.

In the back of the cave are several small natural air vents. One of the larger vents has blood and what looks to be scrapped off skin on its sides.

Solomon just stares. "WTF." When he snaps out of it a couple seconds later, he says urgently: "We need to shut this county down - now. Close the roads, get the chopper back up in the air. We need to keep him pinned down in this area and moving only on foot. Let's go!"

 

[taitzu52]

"EVERYBODY OUT NOW!!!", screams Andrews, pushing people back towards the door. "Captain, get the bomb squad out here on the double!", he yells, "And get that chopper up on the south(?) ridge, there's a way out on the other side." Andrews is standing on the far side of the cave, staring at the sphere, trying to figure out what it is.

(OOC- OK, I know I'm overreacting, but what else would this thing be? Please take this post back retroactively if I'm off base here. Also, does it look like someone "climbed" or was dragged out the air vents? This is what I 'think' Andrews would do in this situation. Taitzu52 knows too much!!)

Also, does it look like someone "climbed" or was dragged out the air vents?

That was Solomon's interpretation of what happened - that the guy who shot him squeezed out one of the holes and is running aound out there with a torn up torso. If that's not obviously the case, Solomon will react slightly differently.

OOC: Hey I just provide clues! I don't interpret them. What fun would that be. But your interpretations seem logical to both of your characters.
