Utilities Manager's Office

Lafontaine, Missouri, is paralyzed by an ice storm. Delta Green has received a silent alarm from a storage unit in the city and needs eyes on the ground. (Content warning: body horror and sexual violence.)

Sarah finds prints in the snow, large primatelike prints, but it seems to be dragging something behind it as it moves in leaps, but the tracks stop once it reaches the tree line.

Brian is appalled by the state of the body. His worst fears are being confirmed.

Sarah, wait a minute” he says as he follows her.

“The worm came from the green box. Skip Mills must have opened it. The murder victim I was ordered to investigate was also killed by the creature. As it bites, it injects a fluid which alters DNA. It’s hard to explain – there’s nothing else like this in nature. The doctor at the university helped with the analysis, which is why I want his help with dissecting this worm. We’ll have to let him and the deputy who’s been helping me in on what’s happening. We don’t have to tell them about Delta Green or who we really are, but I’m afraid there are more of those things out there and we won’t get any help until tomorrow.”


“I think that whatever killed Mrs. Mills is a result of being bitten by the worm. It’s possibly reproducing itself in this way. This is going to spiral out of control unless we find a means to stop it. I really need to get that worm to the university, and I’m worried that about Mike, he was bitten a lot.”

The strain shows in his face.

“If you want to keep hunting this thing here, I won’t stop you, but I have to go”.

"Okay," says Sarah. "Let's go and talk to the deputy."

They return to his borrowed cruiser.

"Okay, but you drive. I'm shaking too badly".

Sarah shrugs and gets behind the wheel. But before she's gone fifty yards it's clear that she's in no better shape to drive after her run in with the monster.

Brian tries to help Sarah with the wheel but the road is too icy.

Sarah manages to get the cruiser a bit further down the road before it eventually ends up in a ditch on a empty stretch of highway. Luckily the ambulance had stayed close, and is pulled up alongside, and one of the paramedics gets out to evaluate the situation with the vehicle and check for wounds.

Suddenly, Sarah and Brian hear something thrashing against the metal toolbox, and another of those shrill shrieks from the seeder. But this time, there is a deafening high-pitched whine that comes from the woods by the road.

The sound is extremely disturbing to Mike, but not deafening.

The pain in his ears is excruciating. Brian falls to his knees and cries out. He can't hear a thing now.

Sarah winces, but the sound doesn't overwhelm her. She picks up the chainsaw in readiness.

OOC:   He is not. he went on to other calls. Just the agents and the paramedics  
A flash of movement in the trees is all you notice before the beast is on the paramedic. Mike cannot see it from inside the ambulance but Sarah and Agent Scott can see the creature at 1/1d6 san. It stands about as tall as an orangutan but is hairless, covered instead with pallid, leathery grey skin. The head is dominated by a huge circular orifice with concentric rows of teeth used for hooking and sucking in prey. The creature has the basic upper shape of a primate but has no legs. It can only move by loping across the ground on its gorilla-sized arms or swinging from limb to limb in the tree canopy. The lower half of the body is made up solely by what appears to be a re-curved tail. Those unfortunate enough to be attacked by the Amantè will find that this tail
is actually a phallus.

The Amantè has the paramedic pinned, and as the creature rips the phallus from itself with a sound of snapping tendons and a spray of orange fluid. Now detached, you recognize the seeder, just like the one in the toolbox. It is headed for the mouth of the paramedic.

The sight of the creature sickens Brian but he is galvanized into action. He runs up to the creature, drawing his sidearm, and opens fire.

Sarah looks at the horrific creature.

"How did it know we were here?" She demands of Brian. "Did you lead it to us?"
She points the chainsaw in the doctor's general direction and gives it a threatening rev.

OOC:   I think phallophobia, fear of phalluses and more broadly anything masculine. Coupled with the acute paranoia episode and temporary insanity (fight, flee, submit, pick one)

OOC:   You rolled for a melee attack and missed this round, Mr. Handy will go, then the monster followed by the agents again.You can talk with Honeydog or Mr.Handy but combat will be round by round for the most part (At least that's my thought on it for now). But yes you will be able to attack the worm in the monster's hand or the one in the toolbox
