Report No: GT/RT-160827-017240718

Location: Zion, Maryland

Agents:

• Cortez (Michael Moreno)
• Drummond (Alistair Russel Whitehead)
• McCarter (Connor Murphy)
• Monroe (Frank Mason)

Summary:

Working Group MASTICATE continues their investigation into the mass grave discovered at the former site of Cornucopia House. The agents navigate complex interactions with local law enforcement, pursue leads related to the adoption records of the victims, and attempt to uncover information from a potentially crucial witness, Franklin Price, a former employee of the Maryland Department of Human Services. As the investigation progresses, the agents face mounting pressure from authorities and grapple with the moral implications of their actions, leading to difficult decisions that challenge their resolve.

Operation Report:

• The agents successfully erased Owen Becker’s memories using a mind-wiping spell and left him at a bus stop, ensuring he couldn’t reveal sensitive information.
• Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pizzarelli questioned the agents about their handling of Becker, expressing concerns over their methods.
• A crime scene investigation tied to Thomas Perez Cunningham revealed a horrific murder scene, with Cunningham’s family stabbed to death and Cunningham missing. The agents turned the scene over to state authorities.
• Deputy Detective Michael Costa confronted David Cortez with a photograph suggesting potential blackmail related to Cortez’s family. Cortez remained composed during the tense exchange.
• Graham Miles Drummond leveraged his CIA connections to investigate Costa’s background but found no relevant information.
• The agents visited Franklin Price, a former employee of the Maryland Department of Human Services, at the Charlotte’s Rest Veterans Home. Price, suffering from advanced dementia, had an emotional reaction to news about Cornucopia House, muttering “Nika, my poor girl” and mentioning “the quiet children.”
• Drummond obtained contact information for Price’s son, Charles “Chuck” Price, from the head nurse at the facility.
• Drummond met with Costa at a dive bar, attempting to convince him of a larger conspiracy involving powerful figures in Washington. Despite Drummond’s efforts, Costa remained skeptical and dismissed the claims.
• McCarter tracked down Costa at the crime scene and attempted to cast a mind-wiping spell on him. The spell initially failed, but a second attempt successfully erased Costa’s memory of Cortez’s real identity and the list of names associated with the investigation.
• A call to Charles Price provided limited information due to Franklin Price’s long-term care needs and rapidly declining mental state.
• The agents discussed potential defenses against mind-wiping spells and the importance of willpower in resisting them.
• Cortez successfully accessed Costa’s cloud storage and deleted incriminating images, leading to a change in Costa’s demeanor towards the agents.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The use of mind-wiping spells, while effective in maintaining secrecy, raises significant ethical concerns. The long-term consequences of repeated memory erasure on targets should be carefully considered, as it may lead to severe mental deterioration.
• The emotional reaction of Franklin Price to the mention of “Nika” and “the quiet children” suggests a deeper connection to the Cornucopia House case. Further investigation into Price’s background and the significance of these names is recommended.
• The limited information obtained from Charles Price highlights the challenges of relying on witnesses with declining mental faculties. Alternative avenues of investigation, such as adoption records and historical documentation, should be pursued.
• The agents’ ability to leverage their connections within various government agencies proves valuable in gathering information and managing potential threats. Maintaining and expanding these networks is crucial for the success of future operations.
• The resistance encountered when attempting to convince Deputy Detective Costa of a larger conspiracy underscores the difficulty in persuading outside parties without concrete evidence. A cautious approach to information sharing is advised to prevent drawing unwanted attention to Delta Green’s activities.
• The ethical implications of using mind-wiping spells on individuals not directly involved in unnatural events should be carefully evaluated. While necessary to maintain secrecy, the repeated use of such methods may have unintended consequences and could compromise the integrity of the organization.
• The agents’ discussions regarding potential defenses against mind-wiping spells demonstrate a proactive approach to counter-intelligence. Encouraging agents to develop and share strategies for protecting sensitive information is recommended.
• The successful deletion of incriminating images from Costa’s cloud storage highlights the importance of digital security in modern investigations. Agents should receive ongoing training in cyber-security measures to maintain operational integrity.
• The mounting pressure from authorities and the complex web of connections surrounding the Cornucopia House case suggest a larger, more sinister conspiracy at play. Continued investigation and collaboration with other Delta Green cells may be necessary to uncover the full extent of the threat.
