Report No: GT/WT-160923-0312411107

Location: Washington D.C.

Agents:

• Drummond
• McCarter
• Parker
• Booth
• Cortez (DECEASED)
• Monroe (DECEASED)

Summary:

Following the fatal mission in the Florida Everglades resulting in the deaths of Agents Cortez and Monroe, Agents Drummond and McCarter returned to Washington D.C. They provided a debrief to their handler, Antonia Pizzarelli, and resumed their civilian lives. Both agents exhibited signs of psychological strain. New agents, Cole Parker and Franklin Booth, have been assigned to Working Group Masticate to monitor Drummond and McCarter for any abnormal behavior or influences.

Operation Report:

• Escape from the Everglades: Agents Drummond and McCarter survived an encounter with unnatural entities in the Florida Everglades. Agents Cortez and Monroe were killed by creatures described as amalgamations of human and alligator flesh.

• Retrieval of Personal Belongings: The surviving agents retrieved personal items from their vehicle, including sensitive materials belonging to Agent Cortez. They broke into the vehicle as the keys were lost with Agent Monroe’s death.

• Undisclosed Materials: Among the items retrieved were a “Hello Kitty” folder and notes belonging to Agent Cortez. Agents Drummond and McCarter chose not to disclose all recovered materials to their handler.

• Conversation En Route to D.C.: During the return journey, Agent Drummond attempted to covertly record a conversation with Agent McCarter. Upon being discovered, Agent Drummond confessed to establishing a “dead man’s switch” to release information should anything happen to him. Agent McCarter expressed distrust but ultimately shared detailed information about his experiences, including communications with an unknown entity and references to “Shub-Niggurath.”

• Debrief with Handler: Upon arrival in Washington D.C., the agents met with Antonia Pizzarelli at a rented office space. They provided a debrief of the Everglades operation but withheld certain details and materials. Agent Drummond provided a flash drive containing Nika’s thesis but made an unauthorized copy for himself beforehand.

• Expressions of Concern: Both agents expressed concerns about the ongoing threat and the potential for other affected individuals connected to the Cornucopia House case. They questioned the motives of their handler and the safety of continuing operations.

• Return to Civilian Life: After the debrief, the agents resumed their civilian lives. Agent Drummond met with his FBI contact, Roman Butler, at a Waffle House. The meeting was strained due to previous requests that had caused professional issues for Butler, indicating a deterioration in their relationship.

• Agent McCarter’s Mental State: Agent McCarter attended church with his wife Dasha and daughter Cecilia. During the service, he experienced a psychological breakdown, disrupting the communion ritual and causing a scene. He later sought therapy, where he disclosed details of his experiences. The therapy session was not effective, and Agent McCarter continued to exhibit signs of paranoia and obsessive-compulsive behavior.

• Agent Drummond’s Unusual Gift: Agent Drummond received a silver snuff box from his wife Ellie, purchased from an antique shop. The box featured interlaced serpents forming a Möbius strip design. Upon opening it, Agent Drummond smelled an odor associated with previous unnatural encounters. He discreetly removed the box from his home, showing concern over its origin.

• Meetings with Handler: Assistant U.S. Attorney Pizzarelli met separately with Agents Drummond and McCarter. She commended their effectiveness but informed them they would remain active agents due to their unique insights. Pizzarelli displayed subtle concern regarding their mental well-being.

• Assignment of New Agents: Agent Cole Parker, a U.S. Marshal with Delta Green experience, was briefed by Pizzarelli and assigned to Working Group Masticate. He was instructed to monitor Agents Drummond and McCarter for signs of instability without revealing this directive. Similarly, Agent Franklin Booth, a seasoned CIA operative, was assigned to the group with the task of observing and assessing the agents’ behaviors in both professional and personal settings.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• Psychological Evaluation Needed: Agents Drummond and McCarter are exhibiting signs of significant psychological distress likely stemming from exposure to unnatural phenomena. Mandatory comprehensive psychological evaluations are recommended to assess their fitness for continued field operations.

• Risk of Information Leakage: Agent Drummond’s admission of a “dead man’s switch” poses a substantial risk of unauthorized disclosure of classified information. Immediate measures should be taken to identify and neutralize any such contingencies. Increased monitoring of Agent Drummond’s activities is advised.

• Agent McCarter’s Instability: Agent McCarter’s public outburst indicates a loss of control that could compromise operational security. His failure to benefit from therapy suggests traditional methods may be inadequate. Specialized intervention may be necessary.

• Unnatural Artifact Acquisition: The snuff box received by Agent Drummond may be a vector for unnatural influence. Given its sudden appearance and the associated olfactory hallucinations, retrieval and analysis of the artifact are imperative. Investigation into the antique shop’s provenance and potential connections to other unnatural events is recommended.

• Operational Security Concerns: The agents’ mistrust of their handler and the program could affect mission integrity. Reinforcing operational protocols and considering a restructuring of the team’s command hierarchy may mitigate potential issues.

• Integration of New Agents: The addition of Agents Parker and Booth is a strategic move to monitor and stabilize Working Group Masticate. Care must be taken to ensure that their surveillance activities remain covert to prevent further erosion of trust within the team.

• Potential Ongoing Threat: The agents’ experiences suggest possible continued influence by entities associated with the Cornucopia House case. Vigilant monitoring of individuals connected to the original operation is necessary. Patterns of coincidences and reported phenomena warrant deeper analysis to understand the scope of the threat.

• Secure All Sensitive Materials: Immediate action should be taken to recover all copies of Nika’s thesis and any other sensitive documents retained by Agents Drummond and McCarter. Failure to secure these materials could result in exposure of classified operations.

• Prepare for Containment Measures: Contingency plans should be developed for potential containment or neutralization of Agents Drummond and McCarter if they become untenable risks to the program.

• Further Investigation Advised: The recurring themes and symbols, such as references to “Shub-Niggurath” and the Möbius strip design, may have broader implications. Cross-reference with other operations to identify possible connections or patterns.
