You each know best what may or may not work in your respective simulation/training exercises. Even the information relayed via the Delta Green web site--including the recent advisory about the United Kingdom--does not have to be incorporated into your exercises. Those are reports from the real world, and can be used, ignored, or changed as desired in your exercises. I do, however, encourage Case Officers to foster inter-cell communications via email using this list and the web site.

In 1991 a bomb exploded under the seat of her VW seriously injuring her and her companion. The bomb was filled with an explosive and about a pound of nails, obviously an antipersonnel device. The FBI insisted that the Ms Barry and her companion were the builders of the bomb in spite of a large body of evidence indicating that the bomb was exactly what it appeared to be, an attempt on the life of Ms Barry. The ensuing lawsuit is still in court. Sadly Ms Barry died last year of breast cancer. If you wish more detailed, and probably more accurate infotmation, Earth First! has its main offices in Ukiah, Calif and I can dig up their address.

As a fellow megalomaniac might say; " Are you pondering what I am pondering?" On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside of the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing on the floor with their chemistry sets, mixing up a batch of TNT to kill a Sunday morning. It is madness to wear ladiesstraw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews. For the sleeping god may wake someday and take offense, or the waking god may draw us out to where we can never return. - -Marc "Know this. Elric cannot have what he desires most.

Yes, as a previous poster suggested, it is in the reprint edition of _Disciples_. There was also another story, called "Predator" by the same author printed in the anthology/magazine HPL (Meade and Penny Frierson, eds.), but there was little info within. BTW, I would encourage all Directors to purchase Daniel Harms' _Encyclopedia Cthulhiana: Second Edition_ from Chaosium, so that they may use it as a convenient Mythos reference. I would encourage all Delta Green agents to purchase Daniel Harms' _Encyclopedia Cthulhiana: Second Edition_, as it is most likely disinformation written by an individual with connections to the Fate and New World Incorporated.

RE my recent Cell L report: I know there's already a Cell L posted on the website, so I almost changed everyone's names and picked a different letter designation. (They're all NPCs anyway, so far--Laura is running a group of Friendlies, who are the actual characters.) But I quickly realized that such was futile. I think as long as we TRY to avoid actual code-name duplication, we should be all right. In extremis, we can refer to "Viktor Haag's Cell E" or "David Farnell's Cell L."

The synopsis is that a large blue lit object "bigger than a car" was seen moving North Easterly from Devon to the Midlands (straight up the Severn Valley?) across the night sky.

On the topic of whats happens when someone applies the Cookbook, I once ran a rather WoD varient of DG (using DG world and adding bits and peices, but you can't beat the new system WWGS worked out in their sci-fi game) in which MJ-12 took the place on the world stage of the shitty concept of an evil conspiracy, Pentex. MJ-12's connections to the American military industrial complex made it easy to use its corporate and military aspects.

Let's say a DG agent is sitting in his cheap hotel room in Brownsville, TX, getting in a little light reading (_Le roi en jaun_, the only surviving original French version of _The King in Yellow_), when he hears a light knock at the door. He goes to open it... (HERE COMES THE SICKENING PART) He's found about 30 minutes later, crucified to the hotel room wall, his tongue cut out (it's found lying under the pillow), his eyelids sliced off (nowhere to be found), and his intestines pulled out through a little slit in his navel, twisted into an intricate pattern of knots that disturbingly seem to MEAN SOMETHING, but which also may just be some alien ballon-animal trick. The poor bastard survived and is now in a hospital somewhere. I assume his tongue can be reattached, but will it regain full functionality? Since whatever it was kept the eyelids (maybe ate them), how's he going to deal with that? Can they be reconstructed from other parts, or is he going to go through life with a very surprised expression and a pair of auto-eyedroppers mounted on his eyebrows?

(thrashes about frantically) I just got back from shopping with the Missus, and every time I looked at one of those modern-art mannikins, the ones with no heads, I had to suppress a chuckle. I read this just after a lazy Sunday-morning family breakfast, and I tell you, it turned out to be impossible to explain my convulsive, tearful laughter to my wife and daughter. Of course, I think I would've been breaking some law if I'd explained it to my daughter, even if I had the Japanese to do so. Absolutely the best yet, MiB! Your fan, David Farnell PS: Scene: Just after the climactic battle of the Kurgan vs. Sean Connery in "Highlander." The Kugan is holding Sean Connery's decapitated head in his hands, at about waist level.

Whether or not Keepers want to run with a DG conspiracy of 50, 78, 578 (etc) DG agents, with an umknown number of variably informed friendlies to keep track of as well, is surely up to them. Personally I prefer a core conspiracy of *less* than 78 "active" members, with hundreds of friendlies most of whom know next to nothing. Other DG initiates may exist, but are inactive... (In passing, I _like_ the idea that Alphonse has multiple cell membership: "classic cell structure" indeed!) But there are more than 26 of us interested in posting ideas. So in the interest of simplicity, I say "hooray" and second the motion for alphanumeric cell designations, so that we can tell "John's" cell W from "Peter's" and "Mary's". It will make keeping track of ideas a lot easier. So I want to get in quick (I'm amazed no one else has thought of it) and claim cell designation "K-9" for my group of dogged investigators.

Yes, why not if you put a link to my site :) Well, I'm not an artist or something like that so I'm thinking more than twice to put my drawings under spotlights.

We believe that it's genetically designed so that the ribcage can be surgically removed to let space for the modified lungs without any lethal complications.

Ouch! Well I'm no physician (I have a little medical knowledge though... and we all know that's a dangerous thing!) but the biggest problem is going to be with the tongue. Assuming that everything hit him in real time (no loops or time dilation events) then 30 minutes should be quick enough to allow the surgeons to reattach it OK (one good thing about hotel rooms - there's always plenty of ice around to preserve severed organs). That's the good news. The bad news (as I think Ricardo mentioned in an earlier reply) is that there will be a severe loss of function of the tongue (severed tendons and muscles mostly - the blood vessels shouldn't be too much of a problem for a vascular surgeon). As for the gut, assuming that the surgical team can untie the knots (and reattach the various blood vessels and lymphoid tissues that may have been damaged in the tying process) there may be no reason why he would have to lose much (if any gut). I guess it would be treated much like a hernia. The eyelids should be treatable - Phil mentioned foreskins: this is not as gross as it sounds, the big problem with the skin grafts will be that there will be no eyelashes. The tear ducts may actually be intact still, so there should be no need for eyedrops (once the graft has healed). The crusifiction wounds shouldn't be any trouble to patch up. So physically, the agent will be out for 6-10 weeks (minimum) and will be seeing a speech therapist for the next 10-15 years or more. All in all, it could have been much worse. But I do agree with Ricardo, why would he WANT to go back to work for DG? I think there comes a time when any agent who gets mangled badly (physically or mentally) enough should go onto the "retired" roster (note: this may not be his choice) and act as an occasional consultant. In fact, just think of the kudos you would get when using this character as an instructor for a group of new agents: "Thow, I geth you guyths want to know juth how I lotht my eyebrowth and my thongue?".
