Due to the resounding success of the first mission undertaken by Task Force Beholder the US Gov't has reached out to get some of the soldiers on loan to work for Delta Green. The Program is pleased to have access to such hard working experts. Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma was the location of three long term green boxes. Someone let the parking slip and now all three cars have been repo'd. You need to track down the three cars and bring them to a garage in Bricktown for proper disposal. The Program has very little means in direct funds or support, but $3,000 (3,000gp) has been prepared as a slush fund.
NATO puts out the following warning for all of its service members: IF YOU DIE WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY WITH THE PROGRAM WE DISAVOW YOU.

Action Protocol:

  1. Operatives gather at the OKC Air Force Base. (Odyssia, Subamuh, Brick through a portal from Blackmarsh). Target green boxes are 1993 Red Grand Marquis, 2020 Green Ford Explorer, 1953 Grey Edsel Truck.
  2. Squad confiscates a Braum's fast food chain delivery vehicle and Mary Land drives to Will Rogers international Airport ($56 unavoidable but tax deductible toll fees).
  3. Investigation at the airport: Rutkowski and Farcry spend $44 at Applebee's and attempt to find a paper trail. Odyssia, Subamuh, and Mary Land investigate the parking garage. Quick interrogation of local population by Odyssia reveals little. Rutkowski's handler Burntwood delivers the location: the cars are auctioned at the OKC fairgrounds.
  4. Squad reunites to approach the fairgrounds through the OSU campus area. Johan Farcry climbs a university building to confiscate a flag, needed to diguise the aerial drone. The successful climb provokes imitators and 10 students fall to their death.
  5. Crowd dispersal tactics are deployed. 307 enemy combatants melted.
  6. Squad enters fairgrounds successfully ($100 corndog budget). Auction area identified. Only one car remains (1993 Red Grand Marquis). Breach charges are set and detonated. Odyssia and MLM work on extracting the target.
  7. OSBI (compromised) deploys a helicopter manned with rifle men. Subamuh pilots the drone into the helicopter. Mary Land employs a ropework spell to fling the crashing helicopter away.
  8. Mary Land's mother calls to tell her about the death of her father (magic can be mercurial)
  9. The records of the auction reveal the two other two car locations. Odyssia and mary Land take a break to inspect the contents of the green box car. Mary Land sings to the rainbow colored worms and Odyssia reads Playboy magazines from Earth-73. Subamuh and Johan Farcry race to a Deltaco to get the second car. Brick Schiddt runs along. They encounter a man with an insatiable hunger and confiscate the car.
  10. Squad gathers to get the third car, now at a dealership owned by Big Ted. Odyssia convinces the big oklahomian warrior that she wants to take a test ride. She ejects the car dealer and a fire fight on the high way ensues.
  11. Odyssia keeps driving away, Subamuh and Johan Farcry are gunned down (but lucky enough to survive thanks to some delicious Deltaco). Big Ted is gunned down and the squad delivers the green boxes (empty).
  12. Subamuh is awarded the Medal of Honor.

this is only part of the truth. there was so much fire and death, excitement all around, screams of joy, metal folded into life, a world to be shaped, but I am not allowed to put it into the goddamn paperwork.
