EMERALD FEAST


WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE...

During a neo-Nazi rally barely reminiscent of the great Nuremburg celebrations of the Third Reich, the Anzique mercenary Desmond Humbolt was been placed in charge of security at the Karotechia's first experimental concentration camp. The illiterate and hateful members of the Bauer organizations WAR and ARM did not take kindly to being subordinated to a nigger. However, the urgency of the legendary Reinhard Galt and the subsequent appearance of Der Fuhrer and other mythological figures from Germany's folklore quickly silenced any vocal dissention.

     "Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals."

The camp, operating under a program called Aktion Zeta, was built underneath an abandoned oil refinery once owned by New World Industries.
Vast caverns were carved out of the oil shale by the wormlike giant Cthonians in return for the cessation of certain drilling operations performed by NWI. The Karotechia, acting as a subcontractor of sorts, were fortunate enough to receive an opportunity to gather and slay large numbers of sub-humans. Die Lebenstentoten Theodor Eicke and Reinhard Heydrich were assigned to administrate Aktion Zeta under the watchful eye of Reinhard Galt.

     "Now God walked down in the cool of the day,
     And called Adam by his name.
     But he refused to answer, 'cause he was naked and ashamed."

Missing persons stolen away by all manner of vile groups linked to NWI as well as those snatched by the minions of racism were taken beneath the ground and placed within the vile clutches of undead Nazi madmen. There they are subjected to all manner of experimental methods of execution and slaughter. Less fortunate are those earmarked for the continuing experiments of Dr. Joseph Mengele, who even now is searching with his needles and scalpels. He seeks a surgical or genetic means of improving lesser races so that they may be saved from their own impurity. He also prepares select subjects with increased fertility and growth hormones so that they may better serve as nutritious food.

     "So, tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals."

This is due to the primary means of extermination furnished by Aktion Zeta, that of industrialized cannibalism. By treating sub-humans as beasts to be slaughtered for their meat, the Karotechia hope to gain value beyond that of an ascension hurrying mass sacrifice. They hope to feed the master race by establishing a place on the food chain for sentient cattle.

The last group of subjects to be slaughtered were consumed by an NWI bio-engineered disease, rendering them unfit for resurrection, even as the most liveliest of awfulness. This placed the entire project months behind schedule. NWI is blaming Dr. Mengele, and the Karotechia is accusing NWI of attempting to take over the operation.

     "Now Christ had 12 apostles,
     And three he laid away
     He said 'Watch for me one hour,
     while I go yonder and pray.'"

Into this situation comes Desmond Humbolt. In order to keep to the Karotechia's unrealistic and arrogant timetable of murder, he and Reinhard Galt have trained a large group of Bauer for a strike on a nearby church. the southern Baptist church has a predominantly black congregation and has been the target of sporadic harassment by the Bauer. Under the maddening auspices of Humbolt and Galt, the Bauer found a glimpse of the horrors and cruelty dreamt of long ago in Berlin. Such dreams continue deep within the unclean recesses of Argentina, awaiting only the clammy touch of those too unwise to ignore their curiosity.

     "And tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals."

THE BULLETPROOF GOSPEL...

The gospel music made a joyous noise on a warm summer morning in Oklahoma. The small brick church stood alone on a dusty plain. It wasn't too far from town, but far enough that a tumbleweed could roll out of the wild west at any moment. The people were thankful that no twisters had rolled out of Tornado Alley for several weeks. Their low rent housing and trailer homes were safe for now.

The small southern Baptist congregation was mostly black, mostly sweating and mostly faithful when dressed in their Sunday best. They were to be mostly surprised when the shooting started.

     "Mary Margaret they were there,
     And they heard every word he said.
     Said 'Go tell my disciples, I said meet me in Galilee.'"

Not too far away, a convoy approached the congregation. Old rusty pickup trucks, Motorcycles and several two and a half ton trucks were being led by a shiny black hummer. The vehicle train kicked up a lot of dust and noise.

The loud thunder of the approaching convoy was almost drowned out by the grey haired old preacher, busy praising the lord with his best Martin Luther King impression. In an approaching truck, a joke was told between two rednecks:

"What do they call Martin Luther King Day in Arkansas?" asked a gruff bearded fellow who once spent time under a hood.

"I dunno," replied a younger man, sweat glistening off his shaven head.

"Dead Nigger Day," replied his bearlike companion. They both enjoyed a hearty laugh at the crude humor.

     "And tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals."

The church erupted in flames as makeshift incendiary devices and stolen military grenades spewed fragments of metal death into the stunned churchgoers. Singing rapidly became screaming as panicked folk ran out of the church only to be met with a hail of bullets. Armed men dressed in unmarked BDU's stormed into the Sunday School. They were barking in German as they massacred the children with their modern German submachine guns.

It was even more gruesome than the cold wintry day long ago when the same men captured a school full of Russian children and took them to be drained of blood by SS Doctors. The bloodless corpses of the children were hastily thrown into a ditch and scarcely covered with a light layer of earth. As the blood of the young was being transfused into Aryan soldiers, and the German Army was in full retreat, the Ukrainian commander of an advancing Soviet column was perplexed by a an old peasant woman blocking his advance.

He was ready to shoot her, and suspicious of an ambush, but something about her plaintive cries disturbed him. He broke off of the column and followed her to a rough pit covered in broken patches of snow. There, in the lifeless icy earth, was an undulating carpet of frozen ground. As he confusedly and curiously uncovered the strange moving earth of what was apparently a fresh mass grave, he only heard the cries of the old woman: "The children..." she moaned, "they buried them alive."

     "Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Tell me who's that writin',
     John the Revelator.
     Who's that writin',
     John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals."

THE INVESTIGATION...

The Investigators are brought in by Delta Green when a report of a Church burning near the Butte Flats oil refinery flags a computer daemon looking out for NWI activity. Helicopters bring federal agents in from Oklahoma City and Dallas/Fort Worth. Among the feds are several Delta Green Agents and Friendlies. The arson of the Church is unusual in that traces of charred human tissue were discovered, but the corpses were apparently transported elsewhere by a large number of vehicles.

The Karotechia Convoy can be tracked to a private road owned by EICKEY MEAT COMPANY, which recently bought the refinery and is busy constructing a slaughterhouse using monies gained from the sale of nearly obsolete refinery equipment to third world nations. EMC also owns several cattle ranches in the area.

Hours before the Investigators begin conducting their preliminaries, a member of the Aryan Resistance Movement (ARM) lost his nerve. Breaking off from the main convoy, Melvin Ray Briggs attempted to flee the insane certainty of necromancy and cannibalism. After a brief high speed car chase, he was forced off the road by Desmond Humbolt's shiny black Hummer. Melvin managed to steer his wrecked pickup down a steep incline and into a muddy river. As Humbolt took aim with a high powered sniper rifle, Mr. Briggs lost himself in the river mud, eventually washing up near a bridge downstream. His windshield sunk beneath the polluted waters decorated with several cracked spiderwebs of shattered glass.

Melvin was discovered unconscious and wet by a travelling student named Danny Hurtz, who revived him via CPR. Danny was driving the semi-conscious ex-neo-nazi to a clinic in the nearest town when he was shot in the head by a very upset Desmond Humbolt. His small Toyota coming to an abrupt halt after colliding with what might be the only tree in Oklahoma.

Melvin's truck and Danny's subcompact are both left behind by the increasingly furious Desmond Humbolt. The owners of the two vehicles are taken back to Aktion Zeta's HQ for dinner, with Melvin being forced to eat Danny before being consumed by Humbolt. Eventually the Oklahoma Highway Patrol come across the two wrecked vehicles and inform the Investigators.

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."
- Psalms 1:1

The small town of Butte Flats, Oklahoma was once an oil town, but since NWI closed the refinery, many have moved on. They left behind polluted water, poverty and racism. Every day more good people leave Butte Flats, distilling the hate and desperation of those few remaining.

Interviews with the Local Sheriff and townsfolk reveal this tawdry trailer-park tragedy, and little else. The names of some neo-Nazi youth can be dredged up, as well as the fact that most of the neo-nazis are employed by EMC constructing their new slaughterhouse, or as hands at EMC's cattle ranch.

Sheriff Taylor tells the Investigators that ARM and WAR were fierce rivals up until about year ago. Then they made up all friendly-like. When talked to, the neo-nazis reveal two distinct personality types: Scared Shitless, and Defiantly Dangerous. Some of the scared ones may turn up missing if the investigators pursue further conversations with them. The defiant Bauer (those with zero sanity) may try to instigate a violent incident with the Investigators. Preferably this confrontation will occur at a cattle ranch with horses, bulls and cows complicating the tactical situation.

A distraction from the matters at hand are the cattle mutilations performed by the Cthonians. These reports periodically come in when Investigators are almost about to find a truly important lead.

Eventually the Investigators will be drawn to the Oil refinery cum Concentration Camp that lies at the evil center of Aktion Zeta. It would be a simple matter to collapse the partially disassembled machinery and half-constructed slaughterhouse into the cavernous reaches below. Much more complicated is to rescue the resurrected and insane victims of the Karotechia. Witnessing the horrors perpetrated under the ground might prove utterly devastating to fragile sanity.
