|
||||
<h3>The phone call from "Provost"</h3>
|
||||
<div class="read">The phone that rings is not the one you gave anybody. The voice is dry, unhurried, East-Coast old. "Good evening. You have thirty seconds to find a pen. There is a Federal Aviation Administration radar station in Aroostook County, Maine, designation ME-07, that stopped talking at twelve minutes past three this morning. Its last transmission was… wrong. A sheriff's deputy went to look and has also stopped talking. You and your friends are now a joint FAA and National Weather Service equipment-failure response team. You were never anything else. Go tonight; the weather window shuts at dawn. And — this is the part you write down — if your radios start answering you, <b>stop transmitting.</b>"</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>What Provost will answer (if asked)</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>"What was wrong with the transmission?"</b> — "The radar reported a contact that our people say cannot be an aircraft. That is all the detail that exists."</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"What about the deputy?"</b> — "Marcus Vance. Local, well-liked, Army signals before the county. Recover him if you can. He cannot simply disappear — the town would look for him. Neither can you."</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"Support?"</b> — "There is a green box at the co-ordinates I'm about to give you." (Cold-weather kit, thermite charge, breaching tools, one encrypted VHF set per Agent — draw from the Field Equipment compendium as they wish, within reason.)</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"What if it's… one of those?"</b> — a pause. "Then priority one is the data, and priority four covers the rest."</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h4>What Provost will NOT answer</h4>
|
||||
<ul><li>Anything about prior events on Sable Ridge (he genuinely knows only the 1978 survey report — buried).</li>
|
||||
<li>Anything about A-Cell, other cells, or what happens to Agnes-type witnesses afterward. "Ask me no questions tonight."</li></ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mission (priority order)</h3>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><b>Erase unnatural data</b> — the on-site log drive AND the FAA remote cloud backups.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Recover or terminate Deputy Vance.</b></li>
|
||||
<li><b>Secure the facility.</b></li>
|
||||
<li><b>Cover it up</b> as a catastrophic severe-weather generator failure.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<div class="card red">
|
||||
<b>ROE:</b> weapons discreet; no local casualties that can't be blamed on weather or wildlife. An Agent compromised by what's on that ridge comes second to the mission.
|
||||
<br><b>Comms:</b> cellular dies at Ridge Road mile 3. Encrypted VHF, callsign OUTLAW-6. <b>If the radios begin to answer, stop transmitting.</b>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Cover identities</h3>
|
||||
<p>FAA/NWS credentials (real, issued tonight, will not survive a determined callback after 48 hrs). The county has been told a specialist team is inbound; <b>the substation will not interfere</b> — mostly because its one deputy is the missing man.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Getting there — beats on the road</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>The drive:</b> 4+ hours into deepening snow. Radio stations thin out; the last one is a preacher, then static. Let a player fiddle with the dial. Let the static <em>almost</em> resolve into rhythm once.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Corliss Notch (optional stop, ~15 min):</b> the diner is open late, half the town awake — worried about Vance. Seeds if they stop: Ruth the cook says <em>"the Whistle's been singing all week"</em>; a trapper (Whit) mutters that the Petrie boys' truck is <em>still up there running</em>; teenager Cody Aldous stares at the Agents and says nothing (he deleted his livestream). <span class="pill">HUMINT</span> everyone here is frightened in a way they can't name. <b>These are the faces they'll meet again at the Crossing.</b></li>
|
||||
<li><b>The winter gate</b> at Ridge Road: chained — and the chain is already cut. (Vance had a key. Someone else didn't.)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Player handouts</h3>
|
||||
<p>Foundry journals ①–⑤: A-Cell memo · ME-07 fact sheet · regional map · county newspaper · escalation timeline · Vance/Rostova dossiers. Give ①–④ before the drive; ⑤ works well AT the diner.</p>

<div class="sec-body">

|

<div class="read">The trees fall away and the headlights find chain-link. Beyond it, a concrete blockhouse with one caged bulb burning over the door — and above everything, pale against the storm, the dome: a geodesic golf ball ten storeys tall, humming somewhere below hearing. The gate stands open. Snow is filling a police cruiser's open driver's door like an hourglass.</div>

<h3>Environment — the cold clock</h3>
|
||||
<div class="card steel">
|
||||
<b>Exposure (house rule for tonight):</b> without proper cold-weather gear, each 30 minutes outside = <span class="pill">CON×5</span> or 1 HP and −10% (cumulative) to fine-motor tests until warmed. With the green-box kit: test each 2 hours instead. <b>Inside the fence it is colder than the forecast says it should be.</b> Anyone who says so aloud is right.

</div>
|

|

<h3>The compound, piece by piece</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Gate & fence line:</b> gate open, no forcing. Forty metres north, the chain-link is burst <b>outward</b> — wire splayed like a flower. <span class="pill">Search</span> no tool marks; the wire was <em>pushed</em>.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>The yard:</b> one set of vehicle tracks in (the cruiser), softening under new snow. A second, older set (Rostova's contractor truck, parked behind the building, cold and buried).</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Equipment building:</b> concrete, one steel door (unlocked — Rostova's keycard is still in the reader), the caged bulb, the <em>unsteady</em> generator hum through the wall. Like breathing with a catch in it.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>The dome:</b> no ground-level entrance — access is the ladder inside the equipment building. Standing at its foot, <span class="pill">Alertness</span>: the hum isn't coming from the dome. It's coming from <em>everywhere</em>, faintly, like the air itself is carrying it.</li>

</ul>

<h3>The cruiser</h3>

<div class="clue"><input type="checkbox" data-clue="s1-cruiser"><span>Door open, engine dead (ran until the tank emptied), interior <b>furred with frost</b> — inside the car, not outside. <span class="pill">Forensics/Search</span> service pistol in the footwell, <b>3 rounds fired, no casings anywhere, no bullet holes in the car</b>.</span></div>

A jackknifed log truck blocks the road; vehicles cluster, doors open, engines running.</p>
|

<div class="read">The snow parts around them like they've been standing there an hour. Old Agnes Corliss stands at the centre in her nightcoat, one hand pressing a dead man's radio handset to her ear. Without turning, she says your point-man's name — first, middle, last — in a voice that is not hers. From the pond shore, two big men in soaked hunting jackets begin to walk up the bank.

<li><b>Deafen her:</b> a flash-bang within 10 m ends the Chorus for good.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Names:</b> <span class="pill">HUMINT</span> + shouting a Petrie's name = that brother hesitates one full round (once each). <em>"DALE! Your mother's porch light is still on!"</em></li>
|
||||
<li><b>Stealth:</b> the Called barely see; Agnes hears RADIOS, not feet. A blacked-out, radio-silent cell can skirt the treeline entirely (<span class="pill">Stealth</span>, group). The Congregation walks on toward the compound behind them — a ticking clock for the climax.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Run the gauntlet:</b> ram past the log truck (<span class="pill">Drive −20%</span> in snow; fail = ditched, 1D4 to all aboard).</li>

<li>Agnes, freed, keeps asking where Elias went — and once, flat, in the wrong voice: <b>"IT IS ALMOST DONE LEARNING OUR SHAPE."</b> That's the players' warning for Scene 3.</li>

<div class="sec-body">

<div class="read">The ladder climbs through a concrete throat and lets out onto a steel catwalk in absolute darkness. Your lights find the inside of the dome arching away like the vault of a cathedral built by something that had heard about cathedrals. The air burns with ozone and scorched copper. And at the centre, at the base of the great dish, somebody is working — fast, in the dark, with a sound of stripped wire and a voice reciting words in an order no throat should manage.</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Environment</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Total darkness.</b> Their lights are the only light — and each light says exactly where its Agent stands.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Catwalk:</b> a ring around the dome with two radial spurs to the transmitter mast. Moving faster than careful in the dark: <span class="pill">Athletics/DEX×5</span> or fall — 4 m to the deck, 1D6.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Frozen metal:</b> bare-hand fine work (wiring, lockpicking, reloading fiddly weapons) −20% without gloves.</li>

<div class="card red">

<b>Witnessing him: <span class="san">SAN 1/1D6</span>.</b> Blind — sockets self-emptied, trails frozen black — but working the transmitter by feel at horrible speed, jaw unhinged, screaming the radar's technical manual <b>backward</b>.
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="card gold">
|
||||
<b>THE WIRING CLOCK — 5 segments.</b> Each round Vance works unmolested, fill one. At <b>5/5</b> the Broadcast begins (Scene 4). Interposing (blocking, grappling, dragging him off) stops the clock that round; damage doesn't stop it unless he's down. <b>Killing him does not un-wire what's wired</b> — at 3+ segments the system finishes arming itself 2 rounds later regardless. There is a way to say this to players: <em>"He's not the bomb. He's just the fuse."</em>

<div class="say"><b>IF AN AGENT SPEAKS TO HIM</b>— he stops for one heartbeat. In his own voice, small: "Tell my kids the lake in summer." Then the other voice takes the throat back.</div>
|

<h4>Fighting him</h4>
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>Wrench 65%, 1D10+2; <b>two actions per round</b>; your lights don't help or hinder him.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Restraint</b> (non-lethal): opposed STR (his 17); two Agents together shift the odds. He does not tire. Cuffs hold for 1D4 rounds, then the joints… reconfigure. <span class="san">SAN 0/1D3</span> for whoever's holding him when they do.</li>

<b>The Tear</b> — presence: <span class="san">SAN 1D6/1D20</span>. <b>Bullets pass through and warp uselessly — do not roll damage, describe the round coming apart in the air.</b> It cannot be fought.

|

</div>

<h3>The choice — cut the primary power</h3>
|
||||
<h4>Option A — blow the backup generator (outside, below)</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Get there: down the ladder and out — 2 rounds moving fast (catwalk test in the dark), while the Congregation's survivors, if unresolved, are arriving at the fence.</li>
|
||||
<li>Do it: <span class="pill">Demolitions 40%</span> with the thermite (instant, clean), or improvise — <span class="pill">INT×5</span> + fuel + 2 rounds rigging. The blast: anyone within 5 m, 2D6.</li>
|
||||
<li>The generator dies → the transmitter browns out → <b>the Tear snaps back</b>.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h4>Option B — overload the main transformer (inside the dome, beside the Tear)</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>One Agent at the transformer cabinet, one full round, no roll to attempt — the roll is surviving it.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Cost:</b> Lethality 15% electrical discharge (fail the Lethality = 2D10 damage instead), AND the full <span class="san">1D6/1D20</span> exposure at arm's length as the Tear turns its whole attention on the hand on the switch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Insulated gloves from the cold-weather kit: the 2D10 becomes 1D10. Small mercies are Delta Green's whole budget.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Power dies</h3>
|
||||
<div class="read">The Tear does not scream. It simply stops being there — and the air rushes in to fill the place where it wasn't, and the dome comes down like God clapping his hands.</div>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Implosion escape:</b> everyone inside — <span class="pill">DEX×5 or Athletics</span>; fail = 1D6 from debris. The catwalk survives; the panels don't.</li>
|
||||
<li>Then: ringing silence. Snow falling through the new hole in the world. The hum is gone — <em>and one Agent (highest SAN loss tonight) notices they miss it.</em></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>If they fail / flee</h3>
|
||||
<p>The Broadcast completes. The doorway holds open. Sable Ridge becomes a permanent cold spot that swallows Corliss Notch over the winter — 300 people, one radio sermon at a time. A-Cell's after-action call is very quiet. No SAN reward; the next operation is worse, and it is theirs.</p>

|
||||
<div class="sec-body">
|
||||
<p>The entity is a <b>place adjacent to ours</b> that perceives through <b>resonance</b> — a signal answered by a signal. It has brushed Sable Ridge forever: the spinning compasses, the ridge that "answers," the 1888 hunting party. For most of history it could only whisper to those who whistled back.</p>
|
||||
<p>In <b>2016</b> the FAA parked a high-power transmitter on the one ridge that half-listened and left it running unattended. Years of steady carrier gave it a <b>stable channel</b> — a door propped wider every night. The phantom returns were it <b>looking back down the beam</b>. The frozen animals and the Petrie brothers were it <b>learning to reach through and feed</b>.</p>
|
||||
<p>Rostova's servicing tuned the door. The corrupted loop was it learning to <b>speak in our signal</b> — it took her first, then reached down <b>Vance's radio</b> (the one man for miles fluent in signal) and remade him into an instrument: blinded so nothing distracts, wiring the lure to full power.</p>
|
||||
<h3>When players ask…</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>"Why doesn't it just come through?"</b> — It can't hold our shape yet. It needs the broadcast at full power to finish the fitting. Tonight is the last fitting.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"Why the cold?"</b> — Reaching through costs energy; it pulls heat the way we'd pull breath. Where it touches, things freeze from the inside.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"Can we talk to it?"</b> — It can only say what it has heard. It is a mirror that wants to be a mouth. Anything it "says" is your own words, rearranged, coming back wrong.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"Why Vance? Why Agnes?"</b> — Fluency. He spoke signal professionally; she has listened longer than anyone alive. It reached for the two best antennas in the county.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>"Is it dead now?"</b> — No. The door is shut. The ridge is still the ridge. Don't rebuild the radar.</li>
