[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Tapeworm

[Hrothgar]

"I concur with you, Lt. However, I want to warn you and your men about the parasite we are dealing with." Jonathan looks intently at the Lt. "If the commune is the source of the parasite, your men must be extremely careful - at this point we just don't know enough about the parasite and its transmission. From Dr. Hardiman's case, it sounds like the parasite was transmitted with human knowledge and aid. And given the size of the parasites we have found in previous victims and their means of egress into the abdominal cavity, I don't envision the process is entirely pleasant."

Jonathan turns to Marcus. "Er...if you plan on going full auto, do you mind if I carry that 12-gauge in the back of your vehicle. Just to carry you know, for a little reassurance."

Lt. Rubin makes some calls and then returns to Marcus and Jonathan. "Ok, I have a SWAT team, every available police officer in a 10 mile radius, and a biohazard response team from DC on the way." He looks down at the map of the area again. "I am setting up road blocks here, here, and here. Once the SWAT team is in place, I will go in with one of my officers." He turns to you both. "Foster, I would like to you come in with me. I could use the back up. And Dr. Anderson, I know this is asking a lot but I want you to come with us too. If there is some sort of biological infestation at work here, I would really appreciate a medical man with us." Lt. Rubin pulls out two kelvar flak jackets out of the back of his police car. "I would feel better if you would both wear these though."

 

[Hrothgar]

"Thank you, Lt." Jonathan puts on the heavy jacket and winces as he tries to adjust its weight. "So...how do you guys move around in these things?" He adds jokingly.

Looking back at the Lt. and Marcus, Jonathan asks, "So where and with whom would you like to assign me in this operation?"

 

[Gomez]

Lt. Rubin smiles. "I would rather be a little uncomfortable than shot up anyday. Dr. Anderson how about you stay with me and Agent Foster." He turns to Marcus. "Is that ok with you?"

 

[Committed Hero]

Marcus smiles as he dons the vest. "Wouldn't have it any other way. And John, since we have already secured a live specimen, I think you should consider shooting that shotgun first and asking biological questions later."

 

[Hrothgar]

"Er...well...yeah." Jonathan goes red in the face.

OOC: Good one, CH.

You drive down a country road and come to a dirt road turn off. At one time it looks like this road was paved but the years and the elements have taken their toll. There are four police cruisers and two SWAT vans parked on the road by the turn off. A sign saying NO TRESSPASSING is posted at the turn off.

Lt. Rubin confers with his men and then checks his pistol. Several SWAT members spread out and enter the wooded area by the turn off. "Ok let's go!" says Rubin. Lt. Rubin, Marcus, Jonathan, and another police officer with a large bolt cutter start walking down the dirt road. About 100 yards in you come up to a chain link gate. It has a thick padlock locking it shut. Up ahead through the trees you see several buildings. The policeman cuts the padlock and swings open the gate.

 

[Committed Hero]

Marcus will try to remain at a proper distance with the rest of the policemen, keeping an eye on the buildings in case he sees any activity.

 

[Hrothgar]

"Well, I feel like a sitting duck," Jonathan mutters worriedly. Jonathan hangs back with the other officers and Marcus, awaiting the go-ahead to enter the compound.

 

[Gomez]

Walking through the gate and up to the compound. You see a dirt parking area with 7 assorted cars, vans, and trucks. There is a large building that looks like a gym to the left and a large two-story plantation type building straight ahead. To the right are several small bunglos. You see no movement and the compound is eerily quiet. There is a large concrete fountain in front of the main building. It is not working.
