through the range finder over the hill/I saw the frontline boys popping their pills/Sick of the mess they find/On

// Introduction //
Secrets hunger. They feed and grow. They corrupt. The
burden of them makes their keepers alien and strange.
Every secret is a temptation to profit from the
power of its keeping. Sometimes conscience urg-
es revelation. The risk demands ever more secrecy.
Trust erodes. Secrets metastasize like black cancers in
hidden places.
Agents of Delta Green keep secrets too painful,
too dangerous to tolerate. They hold on to their lives
and families as long as they can. But that only gains
time in which the poisons they guard seep into the
lives they desperately protect. Soon, they have nothing
left to guard. Nothing but their secrets.
Each scenario in this book brings your Agents to
sites where secrets and death spread like living things.
These scenarios open with an event that could inau-
gurate a sprawling Delta Green campaign, one that
tracks the metastatic growth of Delta Green itself.
“PX Poker Night” looks back decades to the
works of a cabal at the heart of the U.S. government,
a network called MAJESTIC that sells human lives
for power and wealth. An evening of violent madness
culminates in a brush with a terror that was ancient
before humanity’s fleeting rise.
Survivors could be recruited by the Delta Green
of the millennium’s end, a conspiracy of a few dozen
criminals in feds’ clothing. Look outside
Black Sites
to the oldest Delta Green books and to the timeline in
the
Handler’s Guide.
In 1998 and 1999, recruits fresh
from “PX Poker Night” could enter “Puppet Shows
and Shadow Plays” from the original
Delta Green
not
as strangers but as new Agents. In “Convergence” and
“A New Age” they may confront horrors glimpsed in
a poker night they would rather forget.
Are you an ambitious Handler? Let survivors
investigate “Dead Letter” from
Countdown
as their
introduction to the Karotechia in 2000. Play out your
version of the pursuit of the Karotechia around the
world. Your Agents might meet GRU SV-8. Perhaps
they learn Delta Green is making common cause with
MAJESTIC. They may be on the ground when all
these hostile forces converge for a raid on the Karote-
chia’s South American headquarters in March 2001.

Next they may find that partnership with MA-
JESTIC has only opened new vulnerabilities for Delta
Green. Their contacts in other cells vanish or die or
are arrested. The MAJESTIC war goes hot. And then
it flares out with uncaring silence from the aliens that
MAJESTIC so feared and adored.
How then do the years pass? You may have
many scenarios to play as Delta Green splits into
the Program and the Outlaws, each seeing the other
as rogue pretenders. Or perhaps we return to your
Agents ten years later in “Kali Ghati” as the U.S.
occupation in Afghanistan draws down. You could
play the operations from
Control Group,
some as
flashbacks: “BLACKSAT” in 2010, “Night Visions”
not long before “Kali Ghati,” “Sick Again” in 2012,
and then “Wormwood Arena” with the gathered sur-
vivors in 2013.
The rest of the scenarios in
Black Sites
could fol-
low or be interspersed. “The Last Equation.” “Lover
in the Ice.” “Sweetness.” “Hourglass.” “Ex Oblivione.”
One stab at the putrid heart of reality after another.
“The Child” could appear anywhere along the way.
Years have flown. Are any survivors of “PX Poker
Night” still alive? Still sane? Still keeping faith with
Delta Green? Perhaps they dropped away long ago,
each replaced by some new face full of grim resolve.
Perhaps the very memories of them are lost, poisonous
secrets held by the damned.
Delta Green fights on. It feeds itself to the dark-
ness one agent at a time. It keeps its secrets close,
thinking it protects humanity from intolerable knowl-
edge. Delta Green fights on, driven by a glorious
hope, by a dream that its leaders dare not voice: that
humanity would even care.
We dare not put that dream to the test. But Agent
by Agent, death by death, secret by secret, Delta
Green fights on.
