TEXT: Grey Goose 
   
  Introduction 
  The conspiracy wants the cell to participate in Grey Goose, a federally-sanctioned readiness drill 
  simulating a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant. This will take place in about a week, on the 
  grounds of a decommissioned plant scheduled for eventual demolition (readers are invited to consider 
  Oregon's Trojan Nuclear Power Plant for inspiration). Because of the timeliness of the operation, this 
  drill has attracted significant public attention. Attendees consist of municipal, state and federal 
  personnel from across the region. 
  The Problem 
  Professor David Yeardley's experiments with temporal physics have led to the creation of a formula 
  that can attract a Hound of Tindalos while estimating its date of arrival at the present. Having thus 
  invited - and predicted - his doom, he has somehow gotten the attention of Delta Green and begged 
  for help. 
  Why is DG involved? Perhaps A Cell has feelers out for problems like this, and received word from 
  elsewhere. Someone with a personal connection to a DG agent may have referred the problem. Most 
  problematically, someone could be seeking to draw out Delta Green for another purpose. It can be a 
  ploy by MJ-12 to try and identify DG agents for the future. Or a third party has deduced the existence 
  of an anti-Mythos agency from decades of unusual activities, and needs an ally - or, eventually, a fall 
  guy. 
  The cell members are to meet up with Professor Yeardley during the drill, and identify and dispose of 
  his problem at that time. The Hound is set to materialize in the night between days two and three of 
  the exercise. The Professor understands, especially if the cell does not, that the plant has several areas 
  with a minimum of acute angles, making them appropriate for a standoff. This is why he has finagled a 
  place in Grey Goose. 
   
  The Nuclear Family 
  The power plant occupies a roughly square ten acre parcel of land, which is wooded on three sides. 
  Local wildlife (including several deer) stems in the undeveloped area, which is intersected with hiking 
  trails. 
  The entire compound is surrounded by a high chain link fence topped with razor wire. The unwooded 
  side is guarded by a security checkpoint with anti-vehicle barriers that have been moved aside for the 
  drill. 
  Visitors immediately see the administration building across a parking lot, with the reactor/containment 
  building and cooling tower visible behind it. A substantial percentage of the administration building has 
  been converted into temporary living space, with cots and shower areas cordoned off by makeshift 
  barriers. It also contains a press briefing suite and several conference rooms, as well as locations 
  dedicated to the exercise. A catering tent and medical trailer (including a decontamination suite) sit in 
  the lot next to Admin. 
  
  Just a Drill 
  Cell members or friendlies have clearance to attend from their agencies or through Delta Green, but 
  their presence must be confirmed at the checkpoint into the site. There, the guards will insist that live 
  ammunition be left with them for the duration of the event. This is kept under lock and key in the 
  checkpoint, which will be manned constantly during the next three days. 
  DAY 1 
  The welcoming session and press briefing take place after lunch on the first day, in a large 
  conference room. At that time all PCs receive the schedule of planned events, as well as their roles in 
  the drill. Agents with a medical specialty may be placed in a support role; otherwise, they are 
  designated as plant employees, or part of the response team. Planning and discussion of logistics for 
  the event fills up the rest of the afternoon, leaving the identification of Professor Yeardley for dinner or 
  later that evening. 
  DAY 2 
  The second day is the meat of the drill. After breakfast, twenty-five attendees take the role of a well-
  organized assault force that will attack the plant in an unspecified fashion. For the next ten hours, the 
  "defenders" are warned to expect nearly any contingency: from hostage negotiations to firefights to a 
  meltdown. Anyone who is disqualified during the drill - whether as a casualty or otherwise removed 
  from the plant - must remain in the catering tent until the exercise ends. After any required cleanup, 
  and dinner, the day's events are through. 
  At about 10:30 pm, the Hound of Tindalos will materialize in an acute angle near Yeardley. It will 
  attack him as soon as possible, departing only after its prey is dead. 
  DAY 3 
  The third day consists of breakfast, followed by four hours allotted for debriefing. This ends the drill, 
  and all participants are expected to leave at that time. 
  Contact 
  Professor Yeardley is part of the oversight committee, which will evaluate the results of the drill. 
  Agents who ask around during the welcome sessions can make Luck rolls after each 30 minutes of 
  conversation with other participants [succeed at a Gather Information skill check vs. DC15]. He will 
  recognize any code phrase that uses the phrase "Delta State University," then suggest they meet in 
  the evening in a secluded area on the plant grounds. It is only there that he will explain his 
  predicament. 
  This leaves approximately 24 hours to plan a response, while participating in the exercise. Anyone 
  abandoning their post role during the exercise must make a halved Luck roll to not be noticed; clever 
  agents who "die" make unmodified rolls in the parking lot to slip away unnoticed - of course, they run 
  the risk of being mistaken for terrorists if they are found elsewhere! 
  Complications 
  1. Unarmed and Dangerous: If the cell is found with live ammunition during a drill it will not look 
  good on their record. In keeping with the high exposure and busy event, they will not be able to 
  leave the premises for real weapons before the Hound arrives. Kind Keepers may decide that 
  
  Professor Yeardley has smuggled in knives, a crowbar or two, and even some clips - not enough 
  to make the party comfortable, if they are even chambered for weapons the cell has. 
  2. Breaking News: The drill includes a press conference on day one, since many agencies are 
  touting their readiness for attacks of this sort. Journalists (and civilian workers) will be present 
  throughout the operation, which could bog down the works - especially if any cell members 
  have previous notoriety. 
  3. Radioactivity: DOE has already destroyed the dangerous parts of the reactor, and moved the 
  spent fuel rods to a federal storage area. Still, it might be fun to presage the Hound's arrival 
  with a spike in radiation levels, if the cell has a Geiger counter handy. Also, the brass may want 
  to simulate contamination during the drill, forcing participants to don protective gear and 
  declaring an electronics/cell phone ban. 
  Solutions 
  1. Improvised weapons. Many industrial chemicals and construction implements remain on site. 
  Perhaps contractors have brought or left electrical equipment or explosives. The Keeper can 
  allow Idea rolls to suggest useful strategies - the Hound may be blinded by the discharge of a 
  fire extinguisher, for instance. The ammunition in the checkpoint might be tempting, too. 
  2. Controlled Ground. By restricting the place of the Hound's entry, the cell can dictate some of 
  the terms of the confrontation. The best areas include the cooling tower and containment 
  building, both of which are round. Though they are unguarded, they are unlit at night and 
  observable from the administration building; lights or loud noises might attract unwanted 
  attention. 
  Fallout 
  Anyone found with live ammo, or sustaining serious injury during the drill, will require a creative 
  explanation to avoid scrutiny. This goes double for participants present at someone's death - the risk 
  to a career in such cases is severe. The medical trailer in the parking lot might be used surreptitiously, 
  if necessary. If the Hound kills Yeardley, his disappearance may be the only true loose end (although 
  he is expected at the debriefing). If the agents trust each other, A Cell might even accept the excuse 
  that the professor required silencing of a more permanent nature…. 
  The Yeardley Formula 
  If asked, Professor Yeardley is happy to provide a copy of his research to agents who assist him. He 
  will not have a physical copy on his person during the drill, but can easily access it with a remote 
  computer and internet link, both of which are available during the exercise. 
   
  In English, computer file. 
   
  Examination Period: 2d4 hours by someone with Mathematics 70%/Physics 60% [a 
  corresponding Knowledge skill check at DC 17] 
   
  Sanity Loss: 1d2-1 initial, 1d4-1 upon completion. 
   
  Contains one "spell," Attract Hound of Tindalos, which beckons a Hound from the dim recesses 
  of time, while pinpointing its arrival in the present. It costs 1 SAN, plus 1 Magic Point per 20 
  percentiles of success [2 points of Wisdom damage], but the creature is under no compulsion to 
  obey the caller. 
   
  The formula calculates a Hound's travel time even if it has been summoned in another way, 
  making it a useful tool for Delta Green regardless of the outcome of this particular operation.
