Game Night Gentlemen

A new team is called to Baltimore under pandemic lockdown. They do not know each other, and they do not know what happened to Working Group MASTICATE. All they have is a dead office, a classified file, and a name the Program cannot ignore: Conradin. Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

MASTICATE reaches Wesley Cool’s impossible tower, where an indestructible machine, an occult manual, and a dangerous new theory of reality await them. With time running out and the walls between worlds growing thin, the Agents must decide what can be destroyed, what must be understood, and how far they are willing to follow Cool’s work. Some doors are difficult to open. Some thresholds should not...

MASTICATE tries to keep one hand on the world they know. It does not work. Philomena meets an academic who speaks of impossible books and ancient mathematics as if they belong in a course catalog. Frank tests the edge of the barrier and finds himself holding both ends of a failed plan. Justin and Matthew step into a world perfected by PICKY EATER, where truth has been solved, argument has ended, a...

Hoping the path to Wesley Cool lies somewhere in his past, MASTICATE digs into the origins of PICKY EATER. Every discovery reveals how far Cool’s invention has already spread. Every answer makes containment look less possible than it did a minute before. Philomena meets a researcher who knows much more than she should. And on a suburban Cambridge street, Frank, Matthew, and Justin encounter an aco...

As the agents reconstruct Professor Wesley Cool's descent through the halls and apartments of MIT, the shape of his ambition finally starts to emerge: not a haunted app, not a glitch in reality, but a deliberate attempt to engineer a machine that turns consciousness into reality. And by the end of the search, MASTICATE realizes something even worse: Wesley Cool considered PICKY EATER just the...

MIT sits inside a wound in the world. Beyond its edge waits a reality shaped by Wesley Cool’s certainty: a hollow kingdom built to flatter the man who made it. The closer MASTICATE gets, the less they can trust the things they carry, the people beside them, or the memories in their own heads. To survive, they start cutting themselves off one piece at a time. Working Group MASTICATE searches for a...

The handoff goes sideways before MASTICATE realizes anything was wrong. Burners, Faraday bags, antennas pulled from the boards — none of it holds. PICKY EATER is further along than they understood, and the containment they thought they had was never containment at all. By the time they ask whether they're still in their own world, it's a question that no longer matters. Published by arrang...

Both halves of MASTICATE arrive at the King property to find Vicki alive, her daughters older than they should be, and the walls between worlds already thin. Vicki can lead the team to PICKY EATER's origins, but in her world, her deepest fears are reality. The Reapers are out hunting and won't stop until they claim their prize. The line between worlds gets less clear with every PICKY EATER...

MASTICATE is down an agent and moving south with a replacement no one fully trusts yet. The lead is Vicki King — former IT worker and single mother, vanished from her job and her house in early 2018, a name that surfaced from Cordell Wallace's kitchen drawer. On paper, she's a ghost. In person, the house tells a different story. Of course, it matters which version of the house the agents s...

Matthew McCarter arrives at Frosty Pines alone. The trailers are pristine, the license plates wrong, the world subtly, completely off. Back in the real Frosty Oaks, the rest of MASTICATE works Cordell Wallace: a man with a grudge, a shotgun by the door, and something to hide. Somewhere on this property, a machine is running. While it does, McCarter is inside Robert Wallace's paranoid fantasy —...

The reality is gone, but the evidence isn't. MASTICATE works the aftermath — what was left behind, what it means, and what it points toward. The hardware in Audra Powell's server tells a story. One that ties back to MASTICATE'S past operations. The kind of connection that makes the work feel smaller and the threat feel larger. Frank makes a promise to SA Fallon Taylor. There's only...

Out at Platte Air Force Base, Nebraska — population: twelve, and every single one of them is here because someone, somewhere, decided they were a problem not worth solving — the highlight of the week is poker night. Folding tables. A TV from 1979. Sometimes the Major provides whiskey and cigars. It's not much, but it's the best thing going on any given week. Then a van shows up. Men in sui...

W-Cell splits up to hunt Sweetness at both ends: one team holds the line in Tampa while the other races to Chicago to confront the broken woman behind it all. The disappearances are spreading, and whatever is reaching through the mirrors is getting closer every night. There are no easy answers, and every delay costs another life. Somewhere between grief, desperation, and the unnatural, something h...

Delta Green doesn’t chase ghosts, but a ghost hunter could be a useful tool. Gavin reaches out to an online contact who might have answers. Or at least the equipment to ask the right questions. Meanwhile, the rest of W-Cell prepares a stakeout at the Berniers’ home, waiting to see what visits young Kathryn in the middle of the night. If the visitor appears…what exactly are they supposed to do abou...

Delta Green doesn’t know where the apocalypse is going to start. Only that it’s never far away. So when a house in Florida hits the local news with restricted symbology carved into the front door, W-Cell gets the call. The police made a surface-level pass. Maybe it’s vandalism. Maybe it’s a hate crime. Now W-Cell has to decide if the symbol cut into yellow paint is a threat. They hope it’s nothing...

Justin steps out of the elevator and into a world where Delta Green won. Public. Funded. Sanctified. Plaques on the wall. Heroes enshrined. Enemies erased. On the sixth floor, the rest of the team feels the pressure building—memories splitting, thoughts recoiling from scrutiny, reality quietly correcting their doubts. Instinct says something is wrong. Their minds insist it isn’t. The scariest poss...

The case spreads outward into compartments that don’t share notes. McCarter gets the green light to try something ambitious. In a small New York office, one of them crosses a threshold the others don’t see. Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

What started as a mass shooting doesn’t stay put. As MASTICATE traces PICKY EATER backward, the same technology surfaces in places it shouldn’t—earlier, farther away, already inside federal systems. Studying what lived on McKay’s devices is the shortest path to knowing how to shut it down, but knowledge like that is radioactive. Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership. The intell...

Bradley McKay lived at Cornell for over a year, and somehow left almost no trace of it. No one remembers him clearly, no records quite line up, and the months before his death blur into administrative noise. As MASTICATE inventories phones, laptops, and half-remembered conversations, a pattern emerges: a life that dwindled to almost nothing—followed by an act of violence no one can ignore. Publish...

In Ithaca, Detective Jim Herz wants the McKay case closed and filed away, while Anne McKenna keeps circling the parts that don’t quite fit. As Ithaca PD washes its hands of a mass murder and the FBI steps in, MASTICATE focuses on the evidence left in the wake of a tragedy: software from an unknown source, an impossible rifle, and a shooter no one seems to really know. One thing is clear: the offic...

With the violence of Los Angeles behind them, MASTICATE scatters back to homes, families, and obligations. But they bring back new baggage and questions: about what they’re holding back, who gets to decide what’s an asset, and whether they crossed a line so long ago it’s no longer visible in the rearview mirror. The world keeps going. Parades roll on. Holiday lights flicker. Familiar voices say th...

The team moves too fast to second-guess, trying to keep Frank alive and track where the Gully-worm went after it stopped being a man. In the middle of the scramble, Justin reaches for something the others didn’t know he had, and it works well enough that no one dares ask how. By the time the operation grinds to a halt, nothing feels settled. Questions linger about where MASTICATE stands, who cross...

Marlin sets the table for a quiet resolution, steering MASTICATE toward a place where no one will interrupt what comes next. The confrontation collapses almost immediately. Faced with something they never prepared for, the team is left fighting not for answers, but for survival. Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership. The intellectual property known as Delta Green is a trademark...

Smoke still clings to their clothes when MASTICATE crowds into a Denny’s at one in the morning. The evidence they pulled from the fire is worse than expected—and clearer than they wanted. A woman held for months. A body that died weeks ago. Proof that whatever happened in that basement started with Franklin Dyer, but it sure as hell didn't end there. As the team studies the photos, the pattern loc...

Anton Gully lives in a quiet suburban house with his wife and two children, a traditional picture of domestic bliss. MASTICATE invites themselves in and discovers what that picture is hiding. There’s a basement that should have stayed locked, a journal that refuses to stay buried, and mounting evidence that Sgt. Gully isn't just involved—he's at the dead center. In a Thousand Oaks home bui...
