In the small town of Pátzcuaro, located just a few hours out of Mexico
City, something has happened. In the sealed basement of an abandoned
school, the thing that was thought to be dead has been re-awakened and
escaped its bonds. Delta Green is called in to investigate after the citizens of Pátzcuaro begin bringing their dead children to hospitals
in pieces. The local police have set up a neighborhood watch, but that
won't stop the killings from continuing.
One of Delta Greens newer recruits just died. Before she went the way
of the dodo, Agent Oona suffered a nervous breakdown and recruited a
friendly without alerting her partner Agent Otto or Cell A and told him
whole assortments of falsehoods along with actual truths. She became
nearly entirely dependant on him and even put him down as her sole
benefactor even though she owns practically nothing. She even taught
him a spell just in case he became `involved'.
The SIV is a small group of priests (primarily Jesuits), religious
(mainly Benedictine monks and nuns) and layfolk from various Catholic
charity and political groups. The SIV's mission is to investigate alien
activities and provide analysis for the Pope and his advisors. It
coordinates with other intelligence agencies dedicated to alien affairs
as needed, but the primary goal of the SIV is to deal with alien
contact from a philosophical and religious (specifically, a Catholic)
perspective. It is an informal branch of the Church hierarchy in Rome
and has no legal standing, although most national governments look the
other way at its actions as long as they are discreet and don't get in
the way.
The conspiracy wants the cell to participate in Grey Goose, a
federally-sanctioned readiness drill simulating a terrorist attack on a
nuclear power plant. This will take place in about a week, on the
grounds of a decommissioned plant scheduled for eventual demolition
(readers are invited to consider Oregon's Trojan Nuclear Power Plant
for inspiration). Because of the timeliness of the operation, this
drill has attracted significant public attention. Attendees consist of
municipal, state and federal personnel from across the region.
This scenario finds the agents at the end of an assignment that has
them in New York on Christmas Eve. The only prerequisite is that the
characters have recently worked with a 'Friendly' in the
medical/biochemical field, in the New York area. He is a
thirty-something year old doctor called Dr Martin Dowe, whose passion
is the field of genetics and related chemistry. Aside from his talents
in this area he is relatively quiet and unremarkable, and can be
tailored as you see fit. The players should be familiar enough with the
character that they should actually care about the character enough to
want to help him.

The PC's cell (from here on, called R Cell) is called out to
investigate the suspicious death of a coma patient in a nearby city.
The cell discovers a psychic killer, Michael Workman who can enter the
body of a person without an active mind, such as a coma patient. He
then uses his 'shell' to commit other crimes, mostly burglary and the
occasional rape.
