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

Andrews pistol is empty so he slams in a new clip and unloads 8 shots into the creature. It twists and turns under the punishment and finally stops moving. Looking around he finds a gallon jug of beach and pours it over the thing. It begins to shrivel and smoke.

From outside the door, you hear someone shout. "Whats going on in there! Are you ok?"

Brown calls the University of West Virginia again and convinces the secretary to give him Dr. Davies personal cell phone number. (Intimidate (20)+9=29 ) Brown calls the number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Dr. Davies? I'm very sorry to bother you while you are away from the university. This is Special Agent* Solomon Brown, with the FBI. Your secretary was kind enough to give me you number. I was hoping that you might be able help out for a few minutes with a case that my partner and I are working on. Let me assure that this call is for research purposes only - but your work may give us a better understanding of what we are dealing with." Assuming the doctor does not hang up on him, Solomon says. "Thank you, Dr. Davies. A few months ago, you wrote an article that appeared in Science, regarding an unexpected meteor shower that appeared in the skies over West Virginia. I was hoping you could talk to me a bit more about this shower, especially anything that didn't make it into the article or that you have learned since." Solomon allows the doctor to answer fully (and may ask follow up questions after, depending on how the man answers).


*ooc: is that the title he should be using? If not, he uses the correct one.

"I had to get the lid off this jar of antivenom," Andrews lies, "everything's under control."

(OOC-Bluff +9, not that I care what he thinks)

OOC: That is the correct title!

"Well Agent Brown. I don't know if I could add anything more to the article that you are referring too. I believe that the shower was caused by the debris from an undocumented comet. Is there something specific that you’re interested in knowing about the meteor shower?"

After a few minutes. Hobbson comes to the door. "Andrews! Whats going on? What is the situation?"

 

[taitzu52]

"We have a biological outbreak, sir. We really need to keep the lid on this." says Andrews, "I need two bodies to be completely quarentined. One is Santana, the other, I'm afraid, is Dr. Gutierrez. I don't think I've been infected, but I've been exposed. I want a bio team out here with top security clearance. For now, I think that it's best if I wait in here in self-confinement until the experts tell us what's going on." Andrews does his best to remain professional. Underneath the surface, his entire world has been shattered. Who do I trust, Hobbson, the bio team? Should I just put this gun in my mouth and let them decide?, he thinks, his mind racing like a rat. "And sir, could you please check the status of the evidence at the Reservation? If you haven't heard yet, I've requested some top brass in DC helps us get that under heavy security, ASAP.", he says, not knowing who else is in danger at this point.

"My partner, Special Agent Richard Andrews may give you a call in a little while with something more, but I like to start with whether any of the meteorites made it through the atmosphere, and whether any of the material was recovered."

After the doctor' answer, Solomon asks a nuber of other questions
-Has the previously undocumented comet been found in any previously unnoticed imagery? (that is, there must be satellite and telescope data that covers the area the comet must have been in if it caused a meteor shower when and where it did - does the comet show up in that data, even if it wasn't noticed prior to the shower?)
-Does the doctor know what local reaction to the meteor storm was, if any?
-Did anyone not of the scientific or journalism community contact him regarding the storm?
-Is there anything else out of the ordinary or expected that the doctor has noticed regarding the meteor shower or events surrounding it since it was observed or his article published?

No that was just an educated guess on my part. Most meteor shows are caused by the debris left in the wake of comets.

-Does the doctor know what local reaction to the meteor storm was, if any?

There were a lot of confusion and wild stories of UFOs during the shower. But that is pretty normal considering it was a new meteor shower.

-Did anyone not of the scientific or journalism community contact him regarding the storm?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

-Is there anything else out of the ordinary or expected that the doctor has noticed regarding the meteor shower or events surrounding it since it was observed or his article published?

Other than it's spectacular nature and unexpected appearance. No.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Okay, thanks very much, Doctor - I do appreciate your taking the time to talk to me. As I said, my partner will probably be contacting you later on with additional questions, but I think that is all I need for now. Enjoy the rest of your day, sir."
Solomon hangs up, a little disappointed, confused, worried for his partner, and wondering what more he can do from his hospital room. Andrews will have to call him back and ask what he needs to. Hope he's doing all right.

Hope he's doing all right.

(Kinda OOC-Waiting for bio team, gun in mouth, crying......)
