The 1990s did a number on him, though. He lost his boyish looks in his 30s and involvement with drugs and high life caused his figure to degrade. His movie parts were few and far between, and nothing to write home about. He became a darling of the tabloid press, who delighted in chronicling his fall from grace. However, in 1996 he cleaned up his act after falling in love with a rich socialite named Amber Green and becoming involved with a string of new religious movements in California. He got off the drugs and started pursuing an old ambition: directing. Though he had little luck at first, several minor underground success stories eventually brought him to the attention of Hollywood and the press once again.

His success story came to a close when he was forced to flee the country after it was discovered he had been carrying out a sexual relationship with Amber Green's adopted daughter, Wei Lin. Ms Green divorced Roberts and made charges that he had been involved with Wei Lin since she was 15, and Will Roberts was unable to return to the United States. However, he continued his directing career in Europe, making several films that became smash hits in France.

In 2001 Wei Lin turned 18 and was given access to her large trust fund. To her adopted mother's horror, she promptly flew to Will Roberts' mansion in Switzerland and they became man and wife in early 2002. Will Roberts at this point seemed to degenerate again, again becoming involved with new religious movements (though this time in a  less public fashion). He became a recluse, and his young wife became his manager and sole confidante.

These strange events make more sense when one considers that Wei Lin was adopted by Amber Green after her entire Tcho-tcho family was killed in a Delta Green raid in the Chicago suburbs in 1993. Her life with Amber Green was nothing compared to the feasts, to the pain, to the ecstasy, to the horror of her life with her family up to the age of ten. Wei Lin, luckily for her, was a good actress even at a young age.

In 2005, Will Roberts announced that he would be directing his own film, without studio support. Together with some anonymous benefactors, he was funding the entire production himself. Like Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and upcoming "Apocalypto", the film was to be filmed entirely in the hills of Burma and would document the lives of the ancient hill tribe known as the Chaucas.

With the help of friends in the States and the friendly services of Tiger Transit, Will has been able to fly over Tcho-tcho-American actors as well as various production staff, and a set has been constructed in the hills of Laos with the apparent consent of the government. News of the film has not travelled far, and has been largely under the radar; but Will Roberts has plans for a wide distribution of the film across all global markets when its wrapped in mid-2007.

The film itself will be called "Shugoran", and is looking to be mind-destroying.

Delta Green, once it becomes fully aware of the situation, will know the seriousness and danger of these events. Perhaps they will be alerted by a DG-friendly paparazzi who got too close to the set and saw something horrible. Another option is for DG to investigate the suicide of several film buffs who were able to secure leaked copies of the Shugoran script. In truth, any DG investigator (and certainly A Cell) will realise what's going on as soon as they take a close look at the film and its subject matter.

It's not only the Tcho-tcho involved either. Rumour has it that Anton Merriweather has signed on as Music Director for the project. It is likely that the mysterious benefactors of this film project could be familiar faces: Belial, Alzis and the Fate and perhaps the Cult of Transcendence as well just to make it a party.

Delta Green has an ally against the film, though. Hastur, who hates the Tcho-tcho, has influenced the members of the Secret Senate to place Senate-aligned production staff to work on the film, to sabotage it and perhaps include elements of the Vibe into the film instead. Nyarlathotep may very well object to this interference. In a struggle, Hastur may manipulate Delta Green to force the issue to a quick close.

Nyarlathotep may not be too pissed if DG crashes his party though. While they are involved with this, they may not notice that Reinhard Galt has taken a new interest in film, and planned his own magnus opus, concentrating on the ancient history of the Anziques and the glory of the Black Pharaoh...
