[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Tapeworm

[Committed Hero]

"Johnathan, Dr. Hardiman's call mentioned a swimming pool. I don't see one outside, so I suggest we check in that gym structure."

If the other cops have their weapons ready, I'll do the same (did the SWAT guys have a spare smg - an MP5 or CAR-15 would rock).

"Right. A warm, humid environment is probably just what these parasites need to spawn," Jonathan says as he follows Marcus and the other officers, his eyes straining for any sign of movement in the commune.

Lt. Rubin sends some SWAT guys to check out the main house and the bungalows. You walk up to the large building on the right and open a set of front doors. Inside you see a lobby with a small office to the right separated from the lobby by a low counter. The office is strewn with junk and it looks like it has not been used in a long time. A short hallway leads deeper into the building and into darkness.

OOC: Commited Hero. The Swat guys have a spare CAR-15 for you.

[good, my hands were getting sweaty]

I'll check the office behind the counter to make sure it's clear, and advance when the SWT guys tell me to. If they want me on point, that's cool.

Jonathan waits patiently behind Marcus and the other officers and moves up only when told to given his unfamiliarity with these situations. When close to the abandoned office, Jonathan peers in, his eyes trying to identify any tidbits of information that might shed light on who occupied this commune in the past or does so now.

OOC: I am changing something in my last post. Down the short hallway you can see it open up to a large indoor pool area. It is not dark.

Marcus looks behind the counter into the office and it is clear. The Swat point man moves down hall way and looks around. He then waves for the rest of the group to follow. You enter into a indoor pool area. The pool is empty and the place is a mess. There is a strange bitter odor in the air.

 

[Committed Hero]

Is there a convenient-sized piece of debris I can use to toss into the pool?

If so, and if the pool area is otherwise secure. I will alert the team with hand signals and do it.

[jeez, great picture - I have the willies]

 

[Hrothgar]

Moving slowly into the room, Jonathan begins to inspect the floor tiles for the source of the smell. Jonathan checks for any discolorations or substances that might identify the chemical nature of the odor.

Marcus looks into the pool. It is empty save for some brownish liquid and debris at the bottom of the pool. The acidic smell is stronger next to the pool.

Jonathan notices a set of metal stairs leading down at one end of the room. There is also two open doorways that lead to what appears to be some showers and bathrooms at the other end.

The smell seems to come from the pool and it's contents. Jonathan cannot identify what is in the pool but it appears to be organic.

One more thing, on the floor by one edge of the pool is discarded clothing. Pants, shirts, dresses, shoes, socks, underwear. It looks like a group of people just stripped and left their cloths on the floor.
