Session 1 "The Apartment" (May 24th, 2024)
New York: Tuesday, August 8th, 1995
1:45pm - 3:32pm, EST
Entering the lobby of the Macallistar building in Kips Bay, NYC, the Agents first make a sweep of Abigail's mailbox. Agent MARCUS (M-Cell Case Officer) provided them with a complete set of keys, not to be copied. The mailbox is stuffed full with bills, junk mail, catalogues and offers; mail still being delivered by people who have no idea Abigail is missing. MAVERICK gathers it in a bag and they make their way to Abigail's apartment (Ground floor).
The Macallistar echoes an earlier age. Faded purple carpeting and design from the turn of the century. Opposite Abigail's front door is an old-fashioned telephone nook, complete with bench and curtain for comfort and privacy when phone-lines in individual apartment was an expense few could afford.
M-Cell enters the apartment, finding it somewhere between a hoarder's dream and crime-scene technician's nightmare. The small hallway leads to a living-room (the apartment's largest space), an adjoining bedroom and a kitchen and bathroom opposite each other. Aside from the hallway, on first inspection the only other uncluttered space is the kitchen, which doesn't really look as if it's been used much. MAVERICK ear-marks that as something he wants to check himself as the team begin taking stock.
The NYPD has left a box with copies of their files, including a list of tenants they interviewed, many, many evidence collection bags and a box of latex gloves.
The apartment is filled with various items, with almost no floor visible beneath the collection. CDs and CD cases are stuck or glued to the wall, along with mannequin parts, sketches and assorted pieces that might be ceramic or plastic arranged in odd patterns without reason or rhyme. Stacks of phone books, stretches of dyed fabrics stitched together, an antique claw-footed lamp. Bags, bundles of pictures (drawings and photographs) of seeming nonsense. No furniture is immediately visible in the chaotic mess.
MAIN finds the same result in the bedroom as the first Search rolls are called for. Something catches his eye in the anarchy of the bedroom.
MALATESTA begins sorting through the pile of mail. MILHOUSE at first begins helping, but seeing the scale of the cataloguing, volunteers to make a coffee and food run. MIRANDA begins photographing, while MAVERICK gloves up and asks for things to be passed to him such as brushes, anything with a handle really or something more likely to have fingerprints on it. He wants to see if he can grab a set of Abigail's prints, if that's possible.
It doesn't take MALATESTA long to work out Abigail stopped paying her rent and bills in or around March before disappearing in June. Money was coming in up to a certain point, apparently from a showing Abigail had at the Mercury Gallery in Greenwich Village in November the previous year. There's even a letter from the gallery owner asking about another possible showing; from the way it's written, it might not have been the first time he spoke to Abigail before she vanished. Then, the only money coming in appears to be from her father, though she doesn't appear to have used it to cover the rent. He also gets the building management company, Art Life and their address.
As the Agents work, with MAIN carefully picking his way through the bedroom towards whatever caught his eye and MAVERICK uncovers a battery-powered hi-fi under all the trash, MILHOUSE returns from his coffee run and bumps into someone else entering the Macallistar at the same time he is. After an awkward hesitation on the threshold, MILHOUSE spends a little chatting to Lewis Post, one of Abigail's neighbours. MILHOUSE passes a HUMINT roll and I ruled that having spent most of his time in academics and his fellow PhDs, he can spot signs of some kind of social anxiety. I felt that was a fair get for a good success.
Lewis is hesitant but forthcoming as MILHOUSE works that high charisma score, knowing what to say to diffuse any potential tension. As far as Lewis knows, he is FBI of some kind after all.
MILHOUSE: "Did she ever mention a boyfriend? Girlfriend?"
Lewis: "Our relationship wasn't really like that. We had coffee sometimes. Talked about art. The process." He thinks. "She might have mentioned someone, but not a name, only what they did. A salesman, but I couldn't tell you what they sold."
MILHOUSE: "Talk about anything else?"
Lewis begins heading upstairs "She mentioned moving, but not before she was ready."
Back in the apartment, MAIN voices what others were thinking. "Where was she staying?" No bed, no signs of habitation except for the assorted hoard of crap. MAIN finds a hand grenade nestled in some papers and art supplies near the bedroom's walk-in closet.
In the living room, MAVERICK finds a single cassette tape in the uncovered hi-fi and flips it on, finding the batteries still live. Everyone hears MAVERICK's conversation with his significant other, Natalie from the previous evening. MAVERICK realises it's cut up and out of order, rewinds it and then flips it over. He thinks the entire conversation has been split between A & B sides of the tape.
MALATESTA and MAVERICK both consider phone-tapping, but MAIN, grenade temporarily forgotten, asks how it ended up here?
SAN check for MAVERICK. Pocketing the cassette tape, MAVERICK closes down a bit and prepares to go over the kitchen with a fine tooth comb; perhaps this is how he copes?
Before MAIN can mention the grenade he's worried about, MIRANDA, MALATESTA, MILHOUSE & MAVERICK notice something on the wall behind where the hi-fi was previously buried under junk. Fixed to the wall, maybe with some kind of glue is a piece of brown packing-paper with some kind of symbol drawn on it. Everyone focuses on it.

3:41pm to 5:22pm, EST
MALATESTA: "That certainly looks like what we're supposed to be worried about."
MIRANDA snaps a polaroid. MILHOUSE tries to examine it, but his Occult check can only give him the vague thought it's connected to demonology, but little else beyond that. MAVERICK is cautious, but more concerned about getting to work on the unusually spotless kitchen.
Carefully, MIRANDA removes it and a blaring sounds like something between a horn blast and explosion almost deafens the Agents. It seems to come from everywhere and nowhere, from right next to them and outside at the same time.
Everyone passes a CONx5 check and the subsequent SAN check. Through the living room's window, MIRANDA, MILHOUSE and MAIN see a yellow-cab in the street outside. The cabbie appears to have leaned on the horn as someone crosses the street. They appear heavily dressed for summer, possibly homeless.
Is that a snake draped across their shoulders?
MIRANDA takes a polaroid while MILHOUSE and MAIN head outside to investigate. The picture reveals in sharp clarity, the cabbie staring down the barrel as she snapped the shot directly at her. MAVERICK gets to work in the kitchen and MALATESTA picks over things in the living room and bedroom respectively.
Search rolls for those in the apartment.
Outside, the cab has turned the corner and the pedestrian has carried on, though MAIN and MILHOUSE are able to work out where they went. MILHOUSE heads to cut off the other side of the alley, while MAIN approaches from behind, getting the pedestrian's attention. It's the height of summer in NYC, the air reeks of gasoline, rotting garbage and baking, soiled concrete and asphalt.
MAIN finds a nondescript, seemingly homeless man by the state of his clothes, but with a python draped over his shoulders. MAIN strikes up conversation, lighting a Gitane cigarette and pointing to the snake. From the other end of the alley, MILHOUSE makes his way towards the pair.
MAIN fails an alertness check.
Is this guy sweating? It's hot and he's bundled up like it's winter. Is he sweating? Why isn't he sweating?
Back in the apartment, MAVERICK tests the kitchen for blood and body fluids, breaking out the spray bottle and UV light. There's no cutlery, glassware or dishware anywhere in the room, but as he's lifting what could be a print, finds a mechanical diagram drawn on a napkin taped above the inside of an otherwise empty drawer. MALATESTA & MIRANDA continue their search of the living and bedroom, with MALATESTA finding a card printed with the following:
"For a good time Call D - 999-202-9989"
On the reverse are a series of what appear to be street corner addresses in Brooklyn. Could be a sex-line, could be a way to see Red Band underground film screenings, could be something online related. MALATESTA drifts between a few circles and he pockets it out of curiosity. When MIRANDA locates the grenade in the bedroom, she is careful to give it a wide berth and locates what MAIN missed: a backpack radio in the bedroom's walk-in closet. She calls MALATESTA over.
Back in the alleyway, MILHOUSE rolls under 10% and passes his disguise check. Dressed casually and a college athlete to boot, he fits the general chad look in his New York Knicks shirt despite his academic leanings. Being loud and obnoxious like he's drunk, he barrels into the homeless guy with the snake who stonewalled MAIN.
Instead he hits MAIN as the man with the snake is there and gone in the space between blinks. One moment MAIN is looking at him and then MILHOUSE knocks him flat on his ass. Like a film edit. Just gone. MAIN crit fails his SAN check and takes 4 SAN loss without projecting. Instead, as he scrambles up begins kicking over trash cans and searching the alley while MILHOUSE tries to calm him down and get a handle on things.
As MILHOUSE is talking MAIN out of tearing the alley apart, MIRANDA and MALATESTA check out the radio. As it comes to life, they listen and hear the following:
"Exeter. India. One. Thirteen. Sierra. Twenty. Twenty. Forty-nine."
MAVERICK meanwhile, finding the kitchen bare oddly finds the refrigerator stocked. There isn't much inside, some milk unopened and a pack of cheese and deli meat. Expiration is months ago, but through the plastic and glass of the bottle it looks fresh. Curious, he opens the milk and finds it smells as fresh as the day it was bought. Months ago.
Passes his SAN check. Given what he heard on the tape, it's not the strangest thing today.
MAIN and MILHOUSE detour to grab some more coffees, more to calm MAIN down and give him a (successful CHAx5 check) to flirt with the coffeeshop waitress. On their return, MAIN heads into the bedroom, pulls the pin on the grenade and activates the firing lever.
Nothing happens. His "hunch" was correct. Despite failing to properly identify it, something about the shape of it didn't match modern ordnance. Like the radio, it's vintage and either deactivated or else rendered inert by time and age.
I gave MAIN a SAN point back, because why not?
As things begin winding down, MILHOUSE and MAVERICK puzzle over the weird fridge, with MILHOUSE sacrificing his green tea and MAVERICK a donut to see how "fresh" they are come morning between the fridge and not.

After 6pm, EST
Between them, M-Cell take the rest of the evening to take care of home-scenes or any unfinished business they can get done with their resources at hand. They also divide the Operational evidence from the Case evidence, with MIRANDA taking the symbol, MALATESTA the backpack radio & phone number, MAVERICK the cassette tape (for obvious reasons) and MAIN the mechanical sketch on the napkin.
MIRANDA and MILHOUSE, using the former's academic credentials both stay on the case, with MIRANDA leaving her photos from the park to develop in her bathroom. While she fails her roll, she does help MILHOUSE identify the demon the symbol refers to and book-related lead. She hits up a criminal contact named Hugo to put out feelers for weird items she may be interested in. He agrees for a fee, which she negotiates in her favour.
Returning to her apartment, MIRANDA finds her photos of the dancing clown and watching crowd have developed. In every photograph, the clown is turned away from her, but the faces in the crowd are looking at her. That's not how she remembers it. Fails a SAN check. Projects on to her editor, knowing she's going to be taking a "personal day" tomorrow, and this after she agreed to go to the grill.
This will have consequences.
MAIN, unnerved by the day's events, not the least of which was being knocked on his ass by a fitter, younger man, heads out. He returns to the coffeeshop he and MILHOUSE visited and takes the waitress he hit on out on a date. After a romantic interlude, MAIN has a new bond. Her name's Marsha, she's 27 and very nice.
Breaking Operational Security, MAVERICK asks MALATESTA to come back to his apartment and check for possible surveillance. Despite suffering comparatively little SAN loss overall, MAVERICK is letting the day's events impact his behaviour.
It's trivially easy for MALATESTA to confirm there are no bugs in place, which really does narrow the options for how the conversation could have been recorded. Thankful, he asks MALATESTA to keep this to himself for now, to which the grunge-kid agrees. MAVERICK drops MALATESTA near his home and leaves, putting the tape in the player of his car as he pulls away.
MALATESTA lives near the Village and diverts to check out the Mercury Gallery. Though closed, it seems legit and he makes a note of it for later. Back at home, he breaks open the backpack radio and examines it. The battery is not connected to the radio itself, the wires having been stripped out, yet he and MIRANDA both heard a voice on the end of its phone-mic. He passes his SAN check and finds in place of one of the transistors a small, black stone which does not feel like stone at all and feels like it's body temperature. MALATESTA leaves it on his desk, covered in a cloth.
Alone in his apartment, MAVERICK watches his phone. The time comes and he does not call Natalie. A moment later, his phone rings.
Alone in the apartment, MAVERICK does not answer.

Post-Mortem
We ended up playing for a touch longer than I intended, but I knew that would happen by the time the cab sounded its horn. Despite some tiredness and some drinking, we ended up with a really strong session in retrospect, which has set the overall tone of the campaign for me as GM going forward. Between the five players, two have been through one Delta Green campaign, one has experience with Pulp Cthulhu and two have varying levels of exposure. They all roleplayed the f##k out of their characters and while I was worried about just how weird I wanted things to get out the gate, it feels like the balance is correct and I've given enough avenues for further investigation they may want to pursue.
I got a far better sense, as did the players, as to what drives and motivates their characters and how they cope or don't cope with Delta Green work.
MILHOUSE is definitely setting himself up as the curious academic, Iain playing his interest as forever drawn towards what's there "to discover," he said in character. Perhaps a fool and his sanity are easily parted?
MAVERICK is the "all-American", Agent Cooper adjacent FBI Agent who butts up against the para-natural and is seemingly rocked by it, revealing a complicated and perhaps conflicted depth. In his previous operation with MIRANDA, MAVERICK killed one person, but something about this has gotten under his skin. I wonder what Natalie thinks about their missed call?
A hacker by trade, MALATESTA likes a puzzle as much as he does not like the "weird shit." He talks a good talk when it's about something he knows, but is much too shy to chat up his co-worker. He and MAVERICK had some friction in Session 0 when MAVERICK wanted to call him Mal, to which the younger man pushed back against. Yet, he now knows where MAVERICK lives. Maybe he can learn more? What will he do with that? Does he even want to?
As much as MILHOUSE, MIRANDA is likewise driven by curiosity and a need to know, but first and foremost to keep herself safe. She and him are not the same. There's a scar above her hip from a knife, and it still twinges from time to time. She's also the first to directly or indirectly involve a Bond in the investigation. I wonder what Hugo will or won't find? I wonder what those photos mean. MIRANDA wondered aloud whether the crowd or the clown was the "entity." What does that mean?
Despite being built like Jack Reacher (albeit in a sailor suit), MAIN projects a tough air but is clearly a man at the crossroads. He turns 40 before 1995 ends; middle age. When hit with a problem or something he can't otherwise work out, his behaviour swings from one extreme to the other. To date, he's coped with the case by: lashing out at trash cans in an alley. Chatting up a waitress and forming a romantic bond with her. Pulling the pin on a grenade he "thought" could be fake. It's day one. I'm here for it.
Our next session is scheduled for June 7th, 2024.
Until then, be seeing you.

Over the past three years I have spent a frankly silly amount of time reading Impossible Landscapes back to front, as well as KiY related media and going right back to the original short story collection. I also watched or otherwise listened to several actual plays of Impossible Landscapes, more to get a sense of what various GMs took out, left in or took out and replaced with something tied more to their gaming group/PCs directly.
As a result, while there will be spoilers for Impossible Landscapes in this campaign diary, it is very much my take on KiY and what I think KiY represents. It will also become apparent to anyone familiar with Impossible Landscapes that the changes made out the gate are substantive to the point one can say "you're not playing Impossible Landscapes, really," and that's fine.
Comments are welcome, though this is mostly just so I can archive the sessions and though I was once on the N@TO server, I ended up taking my leave earlier this year as part of a sort of Discord clean up of my tabs. No shade on the server, met many people there I am now friends with but I just wasn't vibing with it anymore. Hope N@TO's doing well :)
This post will be somewhat long compared to others that will follow.
Down to brass tacks.
Operation ALICE, New York, 1995
The Roster (Player/Character)
Lea (she/her): Jules Gradkowska - Agent MIRANDA. Journalist - research and human intelligence.
Iain (he/him): Ralph Bevis - Agent MILHOUSE. Academic - history and occult specialist.
Quinn (he/him): Richard Delapore - Agent MAVERICK. FBI Special Agent - criminal and forensic expert and the official 'face' of the investigation.
Phil (he/him): Jean Duvall - Agent MAIN. US Navy Master Chief Petty Officer - operational security specialist.
Duncan (he/him): Jake Little - Agent MALATESTA. Civilian contractor - computer and electronic specialist with a side line in hacking.
Rob (he/him) - Handler. The arbiter of the world: the good, the bad and that which cannot and should not be named.
Background
While none of the members of M-Cell have met each other prior to their initial briefing (August 8th, 1995), both Agent MIRANDA and Agent MAVERICK are acquainted from a previous operation, part of a scenario I wrote and ran some time ago and set on the west-coast. Both have since relocated to New York by the Summer of '95, due in part to the prior operation but neither was aware of the other being part of the cell.
MAVERICK now works out of the NYC FBI Field Office. MIRANDA works for the Village Voice newspaper.
Only fools trust coincidences.
Agent MILHOUSE, a rising academic star, ended up on Delta Green's radar through exposure to elements of an unusual language in the course of his induction. He knows the language is extinct, but that hasn't tempered his curiosity.
A curious mind.
The youngest member of the team, Agent MALATESTA was slowly roped into the conspiracy when he crossed paths with the organization via his online life.
Knows there's weird shit out there. Doesn't like it.
Agent MAIN joined the US Navy in the early 1970s. Though not a SEAL, he's seen enough active deployments to have moved from Friendly to Agent status.
A man at a crossroads.

Session 0 "Therapy Session" (May 17th, 2024)
With about a month lead-time, the players came to the table with concepts already done and it was a case of representing that on the sheet. For Quinn and Lea it involved recreating now lost character sheets from the one shot I ran (that was at least a hard drive ago for us, but it was straightforward enough). Some motivations remained a bit undefined by the end of session 1 and some bonds were still placeholders, but I'm happy for the players to discover these things along the way as they get more into character.
Lea and Quinn playing characters who previously came into contact with KiY mean they start with a corruption rating of 1. Ditto for Iain and Duncan, with both character unknowingly coming into contact with KiY in the recent past, which leaves Phil as the only character yet to have any corruption. Iain's academic actually knows some Tartessian which gave him a small bump to Unnatural that might come into play. I put that down to some rolls on his part after floating the idea as a means to explain his recruitment into Delta Green. Something he kept away from them. As far as Agent MALATESTA is concerned, it was Delta Green who got in touch with him. They've never said either way, but why would they? Something certainly put him in their path. Maybe we'll find out what it was.
After about 90 minutes of getting the details sorted into something if not polished, playable, we managed about two hours of play towards the end of session 0 to at least get things rolling. I was had several end points in mind, but we started with the standard intro-round, sort of a day in the life of each Agent before Operation ALICE begins.
Monday, August 7th to Tuesday, August 8th - 1995 (New York City)
MAVERICK: Transferred within the last two years, MAVERICK is somewhere in the transitional phase between being the "new guy" and one of the team in the NYC FBI Field Office. Most of his day-to-day is about what you'd expect, more a support role at the moment. He maintains a long-distance relationship with Natalie Culper, someone he met in the course of a Delta Green operation in the Pacific Northwest. She's thinking about film school and it's between LA and New York for various reasons. They have this little ritual where Natalie assigns him "movie homework" (nice touch from the player) and call each other every night. In characterization, despite his name, MAVERICK is very much an Agent Cooper, but with the caveat of seeking approval of others: his superiors and Natalie both.
Delta Green contacts him the nigh before the briefing with details of same and upon arrival at work the next day finds he's been given a "supervisory" role in the Wright Case, now in FBI hands. MAVERICK's supervisor is honest about the general scut work he's just been given: catalogue the contents of her apartment for the bureau as it's currently all they have to go on for what might be a months old case at this point after following up on the credit card hit in Maryland went nowhere. Very much a go-getter, MAVERICK takes the assignment with a smile and receives hints that this is kind of the last step for him being accepted by the NYC team.
Punctual, he is the first to arrive in Washington Square Park at the behest of Agent MARCUS, M-Cell's Case Officer.
MIRANDA: Now in the "big leagues" compared to her stint in Seattle, MIRANDA finds herself covering the opening of a new restaurant "We-Kale," not quite being given the grunt work/puff piece duty other reporters would rather avoid, but not the highlight of her week either. She turns in her interview with the owner and their "new business model" to her editor, Timothy Horn, he invites her to the Voice's summer grill party scheduled for the weekend. MIRANDA of course, agrees and invites her neighbour Ruth as her plus-one. That night, while going over some photos she turned in to get developed, finds details of the planned briefing in an artifact marking one of said photographs.
MIRANDA is the second to last to arrive, surprising MAVERICK and likewise surprised by seeing him again. MIRANDA was injured in the Seattle operation in the process of subduing a subject. Since then, she's taken it upon herself to learn as much as she can to ensure something like that doesn't happen to her again.
MAIN: A twenty-year Navy veteran, Master Chief Petty Officer Jean Duvall (of French-American parents) captains a Naval tug operating out of New York. Approaching middle-age, this is very much the kind of posting a senior enlisted officer might expect to see out the rest of his career in. Though operating with Delta Green for a number of years, primarily as a Friendly in a support capacity, he is now part of M-Cell in an Agent capacity. MAIN certainly sees this as an opportunity to prove to himself that he isn't over the hill yet, which probably explains his never ending womanizing.
Released for two weeks of "inter-service" training, MAIN is the second to arrive at the park. An imposing presence (CON: 70), but wiry like a boxer (DEX: 80).
MILHOUSE: Exactly what it was that led Agent MILHOUSE to learn parts of Tartessian language (extinct in the world of Delta Green as it is in our world) is somewhat hazy and unclear. Maybe that's for the best, but it hasn't deterred his search for more of the same. A brilliant PhD with specializations in history and anthropology leading to a healthy side-line in obscure and esoteric work, MILHOUSE is also a serious athlete, both stronger and sturdier than even MAIN.
Detached from his research work, including an upcoming dig, his department-head suggests he do his best to help the idiots from the government as best he can; they can always use more grant money. He joins MAVERICK and MAIN, being the third team member to gather.
MALATESTA: A 22 year old high-school dropout might not seem like the first choice for a Delta Green talent-spotter, but Jake Little learned how to navigate the burgeoning world of Web 1.0 and fell in with anarchist forums and hacker collectives in short order. A long haired, under-washed skater kid, he moonlights in a local internet cafe (Cyberia) by day, where he most definitely is a bit too shy to ask his co-worker Erika out on a date and earns better money pulling various jobs suited to his skill set. Somewhere in there, a couple of people in suits turned up after a job of no particular note and said they'd be in touch.
Not an early riser by nature, nor one early to bed, MALATESTA is the last to arrive on the scene with MARCUS and the others.
The Briefing
All the agents gathered, MARCUS briefs them. He keeps it to the point, but allows space for the team to speak with him and each other, though HUMINT checks reveal he is nervous or stressed.
Abigail Wright was reported missing on June 14th. The NYPD investigation hit a wall pretty quickly and it went cold until her credit card was used at a gas station in Maryland on August 2nd. While that angle led nowhere, the case was transferred to the FBI as a possible interstate kidnapping. As the FBI began investigating Abigail's apartment, a Friendly caught something that ended up in front of A-Cell, at which point MARCUS was instructed to activate the Cell proper.
He hands each of them a large envelope from his briefcase. Inside, the Agents find credentials identifying them as FBI employees and civilian contractors. In the case of MAVERICK, he finds Special Agent credentials (his photo, different name and DOB in order to maintain OpSec and cut out the Field Office for some reason), as well as a pair of photographs of Abigail and New York Post article covering her disappearance.
Their mission is a simple one as MARCUS sees it: catalogue everything for the FBI, but anything pointing towards the occult/unnatural must be identified and destroyed. MARCUS does not want to know about what they may or may not find, only that it has been dealt with.
As questions went back and forth, I called for Alertness checks from MIRANDA, MAVERICK, MALATESTA and MILHOUSE. Only MAVERICK passed. He is the first to hear the music. He is the first to see the clown dancing before a crowd of onlookers. The park is busy on a summer weekday, filled with tourists, students and families free for the day. The clown wears a costume of gold, a facemask, and dances to odd sounding, almost dirge-like music, trailing a paper dragon above its head.
MARCUS, already stressed, asks if anyone was followed.
The others begin to notice the clown. HUMINT tells some of them the clown is dangerous. The clown is hateful.
MAVERICK grabs MARCUS in an attempt to hustle him away. The others react as MAVERICK draws his gun. No one else in the park has noticed yet.
MAVERICK points out the clown. MARCUS slips a card into the Agent's jacket pocket and pushes away, ducking into the park-goers on his way out. MIRANDA takes her leave quietly and suddenly, looping around to photograph the performing clown from multiple angles before heading to the apartment on her scooter. MAVERICK retrieves his car with MALATESTA in tow, while MILHOUSE & MAIN pursue the clown. (I decided MAIN, while lacking corruption, was now dabbling at the edges of it, essentially standing up to his shins in water).
The closer they get to the clown and its dragon, the more people get in both MAIN and MILHOUSE's way and by the time they reach the watching crowd, the clown is already walking away with its record player under one arm. Pursuit fails and both men lose sight of it in a way neither can explain, leaving MAIN chain smoking and frustrated, while MILHOUSE has his interest peaked.
Re-joining MAVERICK and MALATESTA, they drive to Kips Bay.
Macallistar Building
MIRANDA, nimble on her Vespa, arrives at the address first. She takes a little time to study the building before approaching, seeing a tall man standing in front of it and staring at the facade. Despite the heat, he's dressed in a trench coat. He catches her staring and after a bit of back and forth, identifies himself as Detective Graham Guiradanda, NYPD. He's waiting for an FBI team to arrive and take custody of the apartment, unprocessed by the NYPD for one bureaucratic reason or another and now very much not their problem. He's nice about it, but MIRANDA is a little weirded out by his behaviour.
The others soon arrive and the handover takes place. HUMINT rolls reveal the detective is nervous, worried. Though when asked, he can't put it into words exactly.
"You have to see it. I can't explain it. It's fucked up."
He exchanges cards with MAVERICK, should they need assistance.
Given the keys by MARCUS, MAVERICK follows MAIN and the others up the front steps to the Macallistar and whatever waits within.
Dorchester House, 2015
Dr. Dallon: "Braver man than me, wearing a coat like that at the height of summer. Sorry, Richard, I cut you off."
The scene shifts to each of the Agents gathered in a circle with their therapist, Dr. Dallon, a Delta Green Friendly who operates Dorchester House. The Agents have related everything that happened during play as part of their first group therapy session with the doctor.
Recently, all have been experiencing lapses in memory and erratic behaviour, enough that Delta Green made it clear treatment and recovery were needed.
It has something to do with New York and Operation ALICE. None of them can recall what, but that's why they're here. MAIN. MAVERICK. MIRANDA. MILHOUSE and MALATESTA. Twenty years ago something happened to them.
It's still happening now.
Dr. Dallon breaks up the meeting, saying they'll pick it up again the next day. They return to their rooms, located on the low-security first floor of the facility.
And with that our session ended.
Next session is scheduled for May 24th. Write up to follow.
Be seeing you.

This post is long overdue as I just kept procrastinating to do this for the longest, but finally, it's here.
The start is kind of tricky to figure out but the end is very easy. The start is most likely going to be with Richard Nixon's inauguration on January 20, 1969 and the end will be the Paris Peace Accords on January 27, 1973. I know early-mid 1969 does kind of seem like a stretch to include the transition (although some are even willing to start the 1970s in 1968, so maybe not a stretch after all), unlike late 1969-1972/early 1973ish, as that period still screamed "60s" in many ways with Woodstock, the Moon Landing, and such, but I think even that period had enough "70s" things to exclude it out of the "core '60s" territory, especially by the time you hit the summer of '69.
I know most will disagree with the timespan but this is just my opinion. This is gonna be much longer so this will probably be done in two or three parts, one again.
Let's begin.

The inauguration of Richard Nixon - January 20, 1969

After the chaotic year that was 1968, with the incumbent president Lyndon B. Johnson not running for a second time, Richard M. Nixon had narrowly defeated Hubert Humphrey, the incumbent vice president, in the presidential election. Nixon became the first non-incumbent vice president to be inaugurated as president, something that would not happen again until Joe Biden in 2021. I'd say this is appropriate to begin the transition into the tumultuous decade that was the 1970s.

Sly and the Family Stone's 'Stand' album releases - April 1969

In the spring of '69, soul/funk band Sly and the Family Stone released their fourth album Stand. Written and produced by lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, Stand! is considered an artistic high-point of the band's career. Released by Epic Records, just before the group's celebrated performance at the Woodstock festival, it became the band's most commercially successful album to date. This album was another sign of the 70s era that was beginning to emerge with its soul and funk rock sound.

Lew Alcindor becomes the #1 pick for the NBA Draft - April 7, 1969

The 1969 NBA draft was the 23rd annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The draft was held on April 7 and May 7, 1969, before the 1969–70 season. The first overall draft pick this year would be none other than Lew Alcindor (or later, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as we all know him as) from UCLA for the Milwaukee Bucks organization. This would be the changing of the guard for the National Basketball Association as the veteran Boston Celtics dynasty were about to come to an end while a new dynasty has officially been born.

The Boston Celtics win the 1969 NBA Championship - May 5, 1969

After defeating the highly-favored Los Angeles Lakers team of Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, and Jerry West, the aging Bill Russell-led Boston Celtics team win the 1969 NBA World Championship Series to end off the 1968-1969 NBA season, acquiring win their 11th championship as an organization. This was a significant Finals series as this marked the end of the Bill Russell Celtics dynasty that began in 1956. This would be their final championship as a team as Russell would retire shortly after this playoff series.

Star Trek ends with the "Turnabout Intruder" episode - June 3, 1969

"Turnabout Intruder" is the twenty-fourth and final episode of the third season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by Arthur H. Singer (based on a story by Gene Roddenberry) and directed by Herb Wallerstein, it was first broadcast on June 3, 1969. In the episode, a woman switches bodies with Captain Kirk and then tries to take over command of the Enterprise. This was the last original episode of Star Trek to air on NBC.
"Turnabout Intruder" not only marked the final appearance of all main and supporting cast members of the show but also the last appearance of regular background actors David L. Ross (Lieutenant Galloway), William Blackburn (Lieutenant Hadley and DeForest Kelley's stand-in), and Roger Holloway (Lieutenant Lemli and James Doohan's stand-in). The episode drew Nielsen ratings of only 8.8, in contrast to rival shows Lancer on CBS and The Mod Squad on ABC, which gained ratings of 14.7 and 15.2 respectively, a drop of over fifty percent since the show premiered. Cultural theorist Cassandra Amesley states that this episode is "agreed to be one of the worst Star Trek episodes ever shown" by Star Trek fans.
The original Star Trek series ending would be another shedding off of 60s culture.

Brian Jones dies - July 3, 1969

Rolling Stones star Brian Jones passes away at the age of 27 in the summer of 1969 after reportedly drowning in his swimming pool. Long story short, a lot of theories would surface surrounding his death years later saying that he was killed. And more importantly, this would be the beginning of the "27 Club" deaths that would occur with 60s musical acts between 1969 and 1971.

The Apollo 11 spaceflight to the moon - July 20, 1969

Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing.
Humans walking on the Moon and returning safely to Earth accomplished Kennedy's goal set eight years earlier. In Mission Control during the Apollo 11 landing, Kennedy's speech flashed on the screen, followed by the words "TASK ACCOMPLISHED, July 1969". The success of Apollo 11 demonstrated the United States' technological superiority; and with the success of Apollo 11, America had won the Space Race.

The Manson Family murders - August 8 to 10, 1969

The Tate–LaBianca murders were a series of murders perpetrated by members of the Manson Family during August 9–10, 1969, in Los Angeles, California, United States, under the direction of Tex Watson and Charles Manson. The perpetrators killed five people on the night of August 8–9: pregnant actress Sharon Tate and her companions Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Wojciech Frykowski, along with Steven Parent. The following evening, the Family also murdered supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, at their home in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles.
On the night of August 8–9, four members of the Manson Family – Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian – drove from Spahn Ranch to 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, the home of Sharon Tate and her husband, film director Roman Polanski. The group murdered Tate (who was 8½ months pregnant), and guests Jay Sebring, a celebrity hairdresser; Abigail Folger, heiress to Folgers Coffee; her boyfriend Wojciech Frykowski, an aspiring screenwriter; and Steven Parent, an 18-year-old visiting the guest house caretaker. Roman Polanski was not home as he was working on a film in Europe. Manson was a cult leader and aspiring musician who had tried to get a contract with record producer Terry Melcher, who had previously rented the house.
The following night, those four people, in addition to Manson, Leslie Van Houten and Steve "Clem" Grogan, committed two more murders. Manson had allegedly said he would "show them how to do it". Linda Kasabian drove the group to 3301 Waverly Drive. Manson left with Atkins, Grogan, and Kasabian in the car and told the others to hitchhike back to the ranch. Watson, Krenwinkel, and Van Houten killed the couple in the early morning hours of August 10.
The Tate–LaBianca murders "profoundly shook America's perception of itself" and "effectively sounded the death knell of '60s counterculture". Additionally, the ritualistic nature of the murders laid a foundation for the rise of the Satanic panic.

The Woodstock festival - August 15 to 18, 1969

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to as Woodstock, was a music festival held from August 15 to 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 40 miles (65 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock. Billed as "an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted more than 460,000 attendees. Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite overcast and sporadic rain. It was one of the largest music festivals in history and became synonymous with the counterculture of the 1960s.
The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as a defining event for the Silent and Baby Boomer generations. The event's significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film, an accompanying soundtrack album, and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! premieres on CBS - September 13, 1969

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is an American animated comedy television series created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS. The series premiered as part of the network's Saturday morning cartoon schedule on September 13, 1969, and aired for two seasons until October 31, 1970. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is the first incarnation of a long-running media franchise primarily consisting of animated series, several films, and related merchandise. This show played a huge impact on Generation X "70s kid" culture (although the original 1969-1970 series has a 60s vibe to it as well).

The Brady Bunch premieres on ABC - September 26, 1969

The Brady Bunch was a new series that premiered on ABC for the 1969-70 fall season. It starts with the episode "The Honeymoon", which gives this description on Fandom:
"Michael Brady, an architect and widower with three sons (Greg, Peter and Bobby) marries Carol Ann Martin, a mother with three daughters (Marcia, Jan and Cindy). Mike and Carol have a chaotic backyard wedding, in which the boys' dog, Tiger, chases the girls' cat, Fluffy. Mike and Carol admonish their children, yelling at them to go catch their pets. The newlywed couple goes on a honeymoon later that day, while the children sit at home thinking that their parents hate them. While on their honeymoon, Mike and Carol realize that they were too hard on their children, and they decide to bring them along on the honeymoon. They also bring along Alice (the housekeeper), Tiger and Fluffy."
This show would give another huge sign to 70s culture as a whole.

Sesame Street debuts - November 10, 1969

In the fall of 1969, “Sesame Street,” a pioneering TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and how to count, makes its broadcast debut. “Sesame Street,” with its memorable theme song (“Can you tell me how to get/How to get to Sesame Street”), went on to become the most widely viewed children’s program in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries.
The show was the brainchild of Joan Ganz Cooney, a former documentary producer for public television. Cooney’s goal was to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational. She also wanted to use TV as a way to help underprivileged 3- to 5- year-olds prepare for kindergarten. “Sesame Street” was set in a fictional New York neighborhood and included ethnically diverse characters and positive social messages.
Taking a cue from “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” a popular 1960s variety show, “Sesame Street” was built around short, often funny segments featuring puppets, animation and live actors. This format was hugely successful, although over the years some critics have blamed the show and its use of brief segments for shrinking children’s attention spans.
From the show’s inception, one of its most-loved aspects has been a family of puppets known as Muppets. Joan Ganz Cooney hired puppeteer Jim Henson (1936-1990) to create a cast of characters that became Sesame Street institutions, including Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Big Bird.

The 'David Bowie' album releases - November 14, 1969

Originally released in the UK, David Bowie's self-titled album would be his second studio album released, which would be titled under the genres of folk rock and psychedelic rock. Space rock was another genre that this album experimented with due to its only released single "Space Oddity", which came out in July 1969 to capitalize on the Apollo 11 Moon landing, received critical praise, and was used by the BBC as background music during its coverage of the event. That song is considered to be one of the most musically complex songs he had written up to that point, it represented a change from the music hall-influenced sound of his debut to a sound akin to psychedelic folk and inspired by the Bee Gees.
David Bowie has received mixed reviews in later decades, with many finding a lack of cohesiveness. Bowie himself later stated that it lacked musical direction. Debate continues as to whether it should stand as Bowie's first "proper" album.

The Altamont Free Concert takes place - December 6, 1969

The Altamont Speedway Free Festival was a counterculture rock concert in the United States, held on Saturday, December 6, 1969, at the Altamont Speedway outside of Tracy, California. Approximately 300,000 attended the concert, with some anticipating that it would be a "Woodstock West". The Woodstock festival had taken place in Bethel, New York, in mid-August, almost four months earlier.
The event is remembered for its use of Hells Angels as security and its significant violence, including the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter and three accidental deaths: two from a hit-and-run car accident, and one from a drowning incident in an irrigation canal. Scores were injured, numerous cars were stolen (and subsequently abandoned), and there was extensive property damage.
The concert featured performances (in order of appearance) by Santana, Jefferson Airplane, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY), with the Rolling Stones taking the stage as the final act. The Grateful Dead were also scheduled to perform after CSNY, but shortly before their scheduled appearance, they chose not to due to the increasing violence at the venue. "That's the way things went at Altamont—so badly that the Grateful Dead, the prime organizers and movers of the festival, didn't even get to play," wrote staff at Rolling Stone magazine in a detailed narrative on the event, terming it, in an additional follow-up piece, "rock and roll's all-time worst day, December 6th, a day when everything went perfectly wrong."
Many people would mark this event to be the end of the cultural 60s.

The 'Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5' album releases - December 12, 1969

Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 is the debut studio album from Gary, Indiana-based soul family band the Jackson 5, released on the Motown label on December 12, 1969. The Jackson 5's lead singer, a preadolescent Michael Jackson and his four older brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon, became pop successes within months of this album's release. Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5's only single, "I Want You Back", became a number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 within weeks of the album's release. The album reached number 5 on the US Pop Albums chart, and spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the US R&B/Black Albums charts. To date, the Jackson 5's debut album has sold estimated 5 million copies worldwide.
If none of the events that described previously had transitioned us into the 70s to any of you, then this certainly did.

MAS*H releases in theaters - January 25, 1970

M*A*S*H (stylized on-screen as MASH) is a 1970 American dark war comedy film directed by Robert Altman and written by Ring Lardner Jr., based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The picture is the only theatrically released feature film in the M*A*S*H franchise.
The film depicts a unit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. It stars Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, and Elliott Gould, with Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, René Auberjonois, Gary Burghoff, Roger Bowen, Michael Murphy, and in his film debut, professional football player Fred Williamson. Although the Korean War is the film's storyline setting, the subtext is the Vietnam War – a current event at the time the film was made. Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau, who saw the film in college, said M*A*S*H was "perfect for the times, the cacophony of American culture was brilliantly reproduced onscreen".
M*A*S*H became one of the biggest films of the early 1970s for 20th Century-Fox and is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and also won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, later named the Palme d'Or, at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.
This film was a another huge sign of 70s culture as it inspired the television series M*A*S*H, which ran from 1972 to 1983. Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly, was the only actor playing a major character who appeared in both the movie and the TV series. Altman despised the TV series, calling it "the antithesis of what we were trying to do" with the movie.

Paul McCartney announces his break from the Beatles - April 10, 1970

On April 10, 1970, when promoting the release of his forthcoming solo album, Paul McCartney announces that he is taking a break from the Beatles, the legendary rock band he had been a part of for a decade. It wasn't that much of a surprise. The Beatles spent the better part of three years breaking up in the late 1960s—and even longer than that hashing out who did what and why. By the spring of 1970, there was little more than a tangled set of business relationships keeping the group together. Each of the Beatles was pursuing his musical interests outside of the band, and there were no plans in place to record together as a group. But as far as the public knew, this was just a temporary state of affairs. No one had yet gone on the record with a definitive break-up statement. Paul, for his part, hedged his bets.
By year’s end, Paul would file suit to dissolve the Beatles’ business partnership, a formal process that would eventually make official the unofficial breakup he announced on this day in 1970.

The Kent State Massacre - May 4, 1970

In the spring of 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shootings was dramatic. The event triggered a nationwide student strike that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close. H. R. Haldeman, a top aide to President Richard Nixon, suggests the shootings had a direct impact on national politics.
In The Ends of Power, Haldeman (1978) states that the shootings at Kent State began the slide into Watergate, eventually destroying the Nixon administration. Beyond the direct effects of the May 4, the shootings have certainly come to symbolize the deep political and social divisions that so sharply divided the country during the Vietnam War era.

Jimi Hendrix passes away - September 18, 1970

On September 18, 1970, American musician Jimi Hendrix died in London at the age of 27. One of the 1960s' most influential guitarists, he was described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music."
Hendrix's death was reportedly due to him aspirating on his own vomit, later dying of asphyxia, while intoxicated with barbiturates. At the inquest, the coroner, finding no evidence of suicide, and lacking sufficient evidence of the circumstances, recorded an open verdict. Dannemann stated that Hendrix had taken nine of her prescribed Vesparax sleeping tablets, 18 times the recommended dosage.
Jimi Hendrix's death was another huge blow to 60s culture and he would be another number added to the new "27 Club" list of celebrities that would continue with none other than.....

Janis Joplin passes away - October 4, 1970

On Sunday evening, October 4, 1970, Joplin was found dead on the floor of her room at the Landmark Motor Hotel by her road manager and close friend John Byrne Cooke. Alcohol was present in the room. Newspapers reported that no other drugs or paraphernalia were present.
According to a 1983 book authored by Joseph DiMona and Los Angeles County coroner Thomas Noguchi, evidence of narcotics was removed from the scene by a friend of Joplin and later put back after the person realized that an autopsy was going to reveal that narcotics were in her system. The book adds that prior to Joplin's death, Noguchi had investigated other fatal drug overdoses in Los Angeles where friends believed they were doing favors for decedents by removing evidence of narcotics, then they "thought things over" and returned to put back the evidence.
Noguchi performed an autopsy on Joplin and determined the cause of death to be a heroin overdose, possibly compounded by alcohol.
Joplin's death, just like Hendrix's, was a huge blow to the more optimistic culture of the 1960s, and the 27 Club list of celebrity deaths are continuing.
​
Other events that also had an impact that happened around this time period (give/take) that I could not fit on this list:

• Richard Nixon wins the presidential election, defeating incumbent vice president Hubert Humphrey, and the American Independent Party nominee, former Alabama governor George Wallace (November 5, 1968)
• Former president Dwight D. Eisenhower passes away (March 28, 1969)
• Creedence Clearwater Revival's hit single "Fortunate Son" releases (October 1969), which was arguably the quintessential Vietnam War song.
• Pink Floyd's fourth album Ummagumma releases (November 7, 1969)

​
And this will conclude the first part of this transition. Stay tuned for the second part to this.
I hope you enjoyed it and I would appreciate it if you would comment on these.

This is the list that I wrote for Oklahoma's execution roster since the nationwide reinstatement of capital punishment in the late 1970s. Something that should be mentioned is that given the nature of many death penalty related crimes, many of the descriptions contain very disturbing details. Please read at your own risk.
Florida's list is next, and I'll post my list for Texas once I've completed it. With Texas, I've currently finished 464 entries out of the 587 cases to date. That will probably take 7 or 8 posts for it all to be released, so I'll probably do two posts a day with Texas to avoid spamming the sub. At the end of this year, I'll repost the states that have conducted further executions with the updated information.
As with Missouri and Virginia, Reddit's maximum character count limitations forced me to divide Oklahoma's list into two separate parts. Here is the link to part 2.
The currently 124 executed offenders, cases 1 to 62:
1. Charles Coleman (~1950s-1990, lethal injection): A month after he was released on parole in 1979, Coleman broke into a house. While sacking it for any valuables, the homeowner’s brother and sister in law, 68 year old John and 62 year old Roxie Seward, walked in on him and were both shot dead. Coleman stole Roxie’s purse, several packets of frozen meat, and the homeowner’s watch during the burglary, and was arrested shortly afterwards. However, Coleman managed to escape custody, and went on a rampage that involved several burglaries, auto thefts, slitting the throat of a policeman in a failed murder attempt, the shooting death of 49 year old Russell Lewis Jr. in a carjacking, and the abduction of a deputy. The kidnapped deputy was rescued following an armed standoff with other police officers. Coleman had an extensive history of animal cruelty, armed robberies, assaults, and carrying concealed weapons convictions dating back to when he was 11 years old. He was also heavily suspected in the murder of his teenage girlfriend’s father, but was acquitted by the courts despite the prosecution’s strong belief in his guilt.
2. Robyn Parks (1977-1992, lethal injection): During a gas station robbery, Parks shot and killed Abdullah Ibrahim, a 24 year old Bangladeshi immigrant that worked as the attendant. According to Parks, he murdered Ibrahim for catching him using a stolen credit card.
3. Olan Randle (1980-1992, lethal injection): Randle invaded a home and shot the occupants, 41 year old Robert Swinford, Sinford's fiance 42 year old Averil Bourque, and Bourque's friend 38 year old Julia Lovejoy, dead. He took a pocket knife and several watches from the victims.
4. Thomas Grasso (~1970s(?)-1995, lethal injection): While living in Oklahoma, Grasso strangled 87 year old Hilda Johnson, the best friend of his girlfriend's grandmother, to death with her Christmas lights. He took $8 from her purse, several coins that added up to $4, and a television set that he sold for $125. Grasso then moved to New York, and strangled 81 year old Leslie Holtz for his social security check. The trialing arrangements caused some controversy, as the New York governors at the time were anti death penalty, and tried to prevent Grasso's extradition in favor of giving him a life sentence in their jurisdiction. Grasso had several previous convictions for theft and was fired multiple times for stealing from his jobs.
5. Roger Stafford (~1974(?)-1995, lethal injection): Stafford was condemned for killing at least 9 people in two separate robbery incidents with his brother and ex wife, though his ex wife claimed that he was involved with as many as 34 murders nationwide. The first convicted incident was when he and the ex wife carjacked and fatally shot a couple, 38 year old Melvin and 31 year old Linda Lorenz, and their son, 12 year old Richard. A few weeks after the Lorenz murders, Stafford stormed a restaurant and gunned down 6 employees, 56 year old Isaac Freeman, 43 year old Louis Zacarias, 17 year old Anthony Tew, 17 year old David Lindsey, 16 year old David Salsman, and 15 year old Terri Horst. One of Stafford's additional attributed victims was 20 year old Jimmy Berry, who was killed in the hold up of an Alabaman McDonalds, but he wasn't charged by the state due to his death sentences in Oklahoma.

I've been searching for any more leads on the 1998 Clea Duvall film "How to make the Cruelest Month". It won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and the plot is as follows "Bell is a neurotic young woman living in a small college town who addresses the camera to explain her problems—her parents are splitting up, older sister Sarah is happily married with a baby on the way, and her younger sister Dot is involved with Bell's ex-boyfriend, Leonard. Noting that people rarely stick to their New Year's resolutions, Bell decides she wants to accomplish the goals of quitting smoking and finding love before the year's end. One night, Bell lures Leonard to a remote area, and in the middle of sex with him, she abandons him, leaving him without his clothes. Trying to find his way back home, Leonard stumbles into the home of eccentric married couple, Manhattan and Christina. As Bell realizes that she is actually "smoking more and falling in love less", she starts to wonder if she might be a lesbian and tries going on a date with a woman." as a sapphic who recently quit smoking I really want to see this lol.
I made a spreadsheet with reviews of the film and any possible leads, if you would like to help me with the search pls reach out & i'd b happy 2 give u edit access!
After researching, the only VHS copy there seems to be as of yet is at the UCLA film & TV archive. I reached out them about possibly getting a digital copy and they essentially stated that due to restrictions the depositor made on the VHS it cannot be duplicated. The only way it can be viewed is if a reservation is made prior (i believe you have to fill out an online form or email?) and going to the Film and TV archive in person to view.
I'm not quite sure where else I can go from here or where else I could look, I may just start emailing all credits associated I can find through the IMDB page. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Outline going forward:
Approaching the subject of Social Conservatism. “Red-Brown” anxieties and accusations. Dasha and Brace Belden pictures with SS flag as opening to discuss Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse, and a general dominant line that’s contrasted with Anna Khachiyan’s Lasch-Paglia influenced approach to cultural criticism. Contrast Lasch’s approach to cultural criticism and Herbert Marcuse as a debate between two Freudo-Marxist approaches. Highlight split. The Modern Man as Pathological Narcissus vs The Modern Man as the One-Dimensional Man. Despite Lasch (and by extension Khachiyan’s) ceding/abandonment of “Leftist” as a signifier, the case can be made that this remains a critique of the Left from the Left, it cedes recognition to the audience, if they recognize it great, if they don’t and instead (mis)recognize it as something reactionary or liberal or nihilistic, even better. In some ways they might just be right in ways this can’t even recognize at the moment. Criticism goes beyond the constraints of branding exercises, arguably this is even more the case now than it was during Lasch’s time. The metaphorical representation of Post-Industrial Subjectivity, the metaphor serving as the agonal ground. Draw parallel to Hegel’s writing on the Jewish Religion as a Religion of Anxiety and Marx’s Real Jew as a Concrete Metaphor that opens up to reveal the modern Bourgeois subject or Modern European of Marx’s time. Concrete Metaphor vs Literal Abstraction. Better the Spectral Narcissist than the Spectral Jew or Autist or Leftist. The Spectral Narcissist is already a Subjective category, the “subkulak” without the Kulak. There is nigh universal, popular recognition, of the narcissist and narcissism as something bad despite the fact that as it is, the Narcissist appears inevitable via incentivization, a developmental quirk or by-product of the current system, from Industrial Capitalism to Imperialism and Post-Industrial Neoliberal Globalism to what we find ourselves living in in the present day.
As a concept, the Pathological Narcissus transcends political categories and ethnic or religious identities and communities. There is no historical debate to be had about it i.e., “Well actually Narcissists are good, you were just brainwashed by the Elite, Narcissists were persecuted and wrongly smeared, and I identify as a Narcissist because I believe…” No, That’s just not happening at a serious level. The Spectral Narcissus is depoliticized and deracinated and is already around thanks to the diffusion of psychoanalytic terminology into mass culture, transformed into the thing her ex or her parents or her siblings obviously are. The Pathological Narcissus could not be confined to the therapeutic-space.
Christopher Lasch was a student of Otto Kernberg's theory, it’s through Kernberg’s work that we arrive at the Pathological Narcissus. There is something reminiscent here about how our species discovered fermentation. Kernberg worked with patients who didn't seem to fall under the established psychoanalytic diagnostic framework. They were neither severely neurotic or psychotic... so he comes up with this new thing. Old school Freudian, he presents it in very literal medicalized terms (if it isn't a pathology then how do you justify treatment? How do you justify spending or taking that much money?)... what he perhaps, actually provides, is a potent Metaphorical construct. A lens through which we might better understand the individual in relation to others and to institutions and technologies. As metaphor, the Pathological Narcissus, becomes concrete.
Worth also exploring the vampiric nature of the Pathological Narcissus, connecting with Anna’s revelation that her interests in part stemmed from past romantic relationships. That the pathological narcissist is a type she’s dated before and been hurt by, and that she also recognizes herself as being “half” like this type. I think here is where a synthesis might be developed between Reich and Kernberg. The pathological narcissist seeks experience through others, the relationship animated by a sadomasochistic charge. Recreating Kubrick and Duvall. Always waiting for the Narcissist to “drop the bit.” They never do. There is never a catharsis. Feel ashamed and debased by the experience. Realizing that this person you’d developed what had felt at the time, to be a deeply meaningful and intimate relationship, really doesn’t love you. You were just there as something to validate, as something to torture. And you volunteered for it, the person who did this to you is seemingly incapable of not committing to the bit, they’ll never tell you “I’m sorry, what I did to you was wrong.” Instead you’ll end up being convinced that you’re actually the narcissist for desiring this and you’re actually the narcissist for having trusted yourself to another (The Sun and the 10 of Swords in The Scary of Sixty-First, a Hope betrayed).
…
Fragment Apropos of Nothing. I still love you.
Consider the phrase “there are no victims only volunteers” taken at face value, wildly repulsive, until you realize that it’s a question of who is uttering it and for what reason also why inexperience is taken as a defect… it indicates that you’ve never experienced this and as such will struggle to empathize with someone who has and who has been transformed by the experience, it also means you’ve never been tested. A person who goes through this comes out the other end transformed. Go through it once, twice…multiple times. You become a person who is intensely private and secretive, always behind a mask of your own face, who is polite and formal, who does everything in order to avoid being exposed, who engages with others in order to acquire a specific ends (nothing more and nothing less), who takes on a jaded and cynical view of everything and everyone… who views everyone who isn’t you and who isn’t the object of your (fleeting) abstract infatuation as an NPC and who can only ever think in Absolutes. The person is the Best or the person is the Worst. The Pathological Narcissus is incapable of repressing the one in favor of the other i.e., they have flaws but their virtues outweigh them or they have virtues but their flaws outweigh them. They were Good once but now they are Bad or they were only Bad but pretended to be Good in order to extract something from you. They seduced you and you gave them what they wanted and what they deserved. Obviously they think you’re a monster so you’ll be monstrous towards them. Merciless. Their devotion means nothing, scratch that, it’s evidence of how pathetic and delusional and committed to fucking you over they are. It’s obviously a bit. They’re obviously committed to a bit. The torture escalates, they appear intoxicated by it, you hate them. Can’t even take true pleasure in it, since the notion of them enjoying it, that even in this debased condition they’re still finding the way to turn the tables and take advantage of you, topping from the bottom. You love them. You love them but they obviously don’t love you. Not really. They just deluded themselves into thinking they do. Really they love your amenities and they love your legs and they love your heel and the fantasy of something that obviously isn’t you. They never send the first text. They never inquire deeply. And still they ask the question, “do you love me?” If not love what else is this, but to speak it is to cheapen it and to give to you the opening to strike. I know you, I know that the tortured often conceals the torturer. You are merely bidding your time. Waiting for me to lower my guard. When things are good, that’s when you’ll suddenly decide to throw everything at my face. Worse, when I’m happy. In a rare moment of feeling like everything is going my way, you’ll decide that this is the perfect moment to confront me over past hurts. You won’t resist the urge to spoil this moment and you’ll do so because you’re an addict and you want to get your kicks. You’ve exposed yourself a witless dependent with a chronic case of bad luck. You’re not even a shrewd badass who is in-control, making plans, making moves, making money… doing something with your life… I offered you money and you refused. Obviously you enjoy your suffering. Self-righteous masochistic pseud…
And so you hurt them some more and grow callous, ignoring the subtleties, obviously they want this why else would they tolerate it this long? You’ve become numb to them. You gloat over it. Humiliate them in front of others. It’s what they want. You’ve grown tired of it. Grown tired of playing the monster to this piece of shit. But because you love them, you hope they snap out of it, hope they break the bit, and leave. Just leave. Accept that they won all they’re going to win from you. Being sore winners they’ll think about it as loss. Fine lets humor it. You lost and I won. Accept that you took a gamble and lost. You stepped into the ring with someone leagues ahead of you in skill and instinctual ruthlessness. Your provocations proved empty with every flinch and pulled punch inviting three skillful blows. You won’t win. You can’t win. And really you’re a piece of shit for not getting it. Don’t you have a life and responsibility? Don’t you realize that people don’t hold you in high esteem? They don’t feel compassion for you. They aren’t cheering you on... this is at most amusing for them. They say terrible things about you behind your back. They don’t know you like I do. I won’t correct them. They’re laughing at you. They’re speculating about your ulterior motives. Can see right through you. Worse they pity you, you cuck. Being a cuck you’re the last one to know, last one to figure it out, that’s how evil and deranged you are. Your mom and family hate me. You probably talk mad shit about me, tell them our problems, make yourself out to be victim and me the evil bitch. Thanks, great. Then you ask why I don’t want to meet them. Your mom hates me and you know what, I hate her too, for raising such a fucked up neurotic little f*ggot….
Eventually they collapse. You got what you wanted. They broke up. But they’ve come back. Things were never going to end on good terms. So again you do something unforgivable to them and this time you leave. Soon they’ll see that they didn’t really love you. That they had treated you like a simulator. Might as well have played an anime girl girlfriend simulation game if you wanted that. They just wanted to be hurt because they’re perverts. Soon they’ll see they can live without you and you’ll prove to yourself that you can survive and thrive without them. You’ve done it before. You’ve been in their shoes… You’ve become the Pathological Narcissus. And you say to yourself, “they’ll live, like I lived, it’s not the worst thing you can do to somebody.”
And I know what I’ve become and what you’ll become, just like me. At the start I said that that’s what I feared most and yet look at us now. Two of a kind stitched together gnashing. Do you hate me? Do you even care? But I did love you. Now I’m something that never did because how could someone who loves you treat you the way I did? Disillusion you the way I did? Hate me. Go on, hate me. It’s better. In your eyes I’ve become a shameless thing, confirmed myself to be this, in this world full of lingering, and maybe I am. If only I was. I might be a nothing but where there is nothing, read that I love you.
Couldn’t help it.
Waited and waiting.
And now I have become the loveless thing who has initiated you into the world.
See you in Hell. Welcome to the Club! Welcome to the Longhouse! Also known as the Vampire’s Castle. Call the basement the Devil’s Country. Paradise is a park populated by brutes. Is this the subjectivity of the Modern Managerial? That the Other should be revealed through the frame, through the screen, disguised as the Phantom Narcissist.
…..
Develop this. Connect it with a growing away from Lana del Rey, connect also with The Weeknd and the figure of the Faustian Simp and the Sensitive Young Man as a personae (Spiritist concept of the Obsessional Spirit and Hegel’s Beautiful Soul as both aesthete and ascetic).
Will have to touch on Lacan and Zizek. Noticeable Zizek shaped-hole in my writings on Red Scare.
Want to further explore Hillman's criticisms and approach. Broadly summarize my reading as; Lack of dynamism, ossifying into dogmas which necessitates the emergence of a Luminous Apostate who starts his own sect which proceeds to ossify after they've died. An over-commitment to a medicalized model (inheriting Freud's anxieties concerning the scientific validity of Psychoanalysis... that Psychoanalysis isn't just another Jewish Grift, the Grift after all being the True Jewish Science) makes Psychoanalysis appear more like a grift. Literalizes what had from the start, came about as a creative act as artifice, facilitating recollection (itself a phantasmatic production), a kind of psychic blood-letting, and an Insight. Pathology is in some sense the inability to recognize an Image as an Image.
Moving from the mirror to an opening. Would like to incorporate some of Hillman’s inspiration. From Narcissus as an entity which is only ever capable of seeing his Self in the World to a World that sees through the Self. The Anima Mundi. Only way out is through. How can this danger contain the saving power.
See if I can develop this, should take two more notes after this one.
…….
Back when the podcast was explicitly simpatico with a millennial left alt-media bubble, one of the common accusations lobbed by hysterics at Red Scare was that they were secretly attempting to promote the development of a ‘Red-Brown’ alliance with Anna Khachiyan in particular being painted as a malevolent crypto-fascist neoconservative. Like some Mesopotamian demon-wench or Armenian witch (bald?), vampirizing and in the process murdering, the embryonic “Revolution”. Seeking to replace the Infant Revolution, with this changeling thing called “Strausserism”. All in service of her Shadowy Master.
At some point rumors circulated amongst lesser podcasters and posters who’d made Parapolitics their brand and schizotypal-paranoiacs their niche audience, about Anna Khachiyan’s (and Angela Nagel’s) meeting with Peter Thiel, one of the founders of Palantir. Every reference Khachiyan would make to Rene Girard or to Thiel’s Zero to One or The Straussian Moment was taken as evidence of this. Generally I’ve found that the paranoiac conspiracy contains a kernel of truth. For one I think it’s silly to shame those outside official institutions for seeking any sort of funding or patronage, simply never fantasized this patronage as being premised on the promotion of a specific political program. Rather and again this pure speculation on my part, but I’d imagine it would’ve had much more to do with the conversation Peter Thiel invites the reader and listener to partake in in The Straussian Moment, which in its manner, is itself a response to Alexandre Kojève and Leo Strauss’ debates. What is to be Done? In this regard something like Thiel’s essay is very much in sympathy with say, Boris Groys Becoming an Artwork or Philosophy of Care. At the core I think, is the matter of the End of History. And to me, Red Scare podcast is fundamentally two perverts holding hands through the End, walking together through to Ossifying remains of Bourgeois Culture and American Civilization. On a personal note I found Thiel’s essay very interesting and am drawn to the theme. Exudes a certain fascination. Combined with material want you have the perfect conditions for the emergence of a Glamour. I imagine this not only was, but rather continues to be the case, for the hostess of Red Scare. Perhaps I’m projecting my own ambitions. And it’s not just them. There are a lot of really clever and insightful gathered and gathering into this tableau. Most definitely not confined to contemporary Left or Right political identities. There is something beyond that which draws on everyone and I don’t think it’s just the promise of “Thielbucks” though it’s good to acknowledge the Base(d) Eros as much as the Cosmic. Both are needed for the chariot to move.
Too late for me to go back to a more formal mode. The sacrifice is worth it whether we like it or not. It’s okay to live with the ambivalence. If Anna Khachiyan has a Shadowy Master its a father proud of his daughter’s success (that he hadn’t come to this country, to this strange other Worldless World, in vain) and the baby who shares his name.
Before the Peter Thiel related controversies Red Scare had already been being accused of attempting to set the grounds for a Red-Brown, “National Bolshevik" or “Strasserist” politics. Their criticisms and mockery was never just confined to the Liberal Establishment, the principle sanctioned target of the Dirtbag milieu, but also of the resurgent American Left. Always too critical. Never supportive enough. Never wholesome enough to the Comrades. Never expressing a full enough Solidarity. No amount of relatively obscure Leftist that they’d have on could ever be enough. No amount of explanation. Always the contempt for weakness on display. Building a brand around showing a callous disregard for victims, especially for female victims of sexual assault. “There are no victims there are only volunteers” is on its face a morally repugnant statement... when uttered by the handsy producer. When taken at its face. Anyways… always above it all in their cynicism. Always dismissive and cruel… Red Scare isn’t that or rather they were never just that. But when you focus on the Ugly all you see is Ugliness and you start to look mighty Ugly yourself… (Nietzsche?)
As of 2024 they disavow having been “Leftwing” they were merely “Leftist”-adjacent. That’s not true. Anna Khachiyan always avoided ascribing a political label to herself and this is very much in keeping with her lineage of Criticism. In terms of sympathies though, Anna was a self-described Marxist Class Reductionist and Dasha was even more up-front in her sympathies and identification with the Left. I went into Red Scare immersed in Marxist-Leninist literature and Tankie-sympathies and found in Red Scare a point-of-view that sans the Sacred Signifiers, was very sympathetic to the one I’d become familiar with and upheld. Still Red Scare has always emphasized Cultural Criticism. Cultural Criticism largely relegates itself to providing a diagnosis of the present condition without prescribing a given course of action. Red Scare attempts to describe, all the while constantly emphasizing their own position and biases and limitations. Perhaps one might raise the contention that this is in fact impossible, that the production of cultural criticism invariably invites the consequences of the normative claims implicit within them. I think such contentions tends to amount, in practice, to a form of emotional extortion preceding attempts at censorship. Not always obviously. But it often tends to be the case that someone who levies this particular criticism in hysterical and alarmist tones is more likely than not, doing so due to a narcissistic injury. They receive the original criticism, read themselves into it, read it in the most literalistic-abstract manner (a result of putting themselves as the sole reference-point), imagine the most catastrophic scenario in lieu of a more honest reception of what amounts to a transient discomfort, disavow this narcissistic injury by conjuring up an Ideal-Other to hold hostage (childlike and being childlike always at risk) proceeding to browbeat and admonish and raise alarms. Viewed objectively, A&D aren’t the danger here, we are. Negative or Positive parasocial attachment alike. They aren’t bad people for not caring about you or thinking about you incessantly or planning their lives around you and you aren’t a bad person for not caring about them or thinking about them incessantly and planning your life around them. The difference is that they do this for a living so we’re an all-encompassing cacophonous presence in their lives. They in fact do and they do so in a concrete manner, they’re podcasters, the kicker is that they do in fact care about you. You and I can just stop listening without experiencing any negative material or social consequences. You and I have more to gain from not obsessing over Red Scare, obviously. Anna and Dasha stop podcasting and things suddenly start to get complicated, and increasingly so with each passing year, perhaps not a nosedive into cleaning storefront window with a vodka wettened napkin but considering that Red Scare has been situated in the margins and the internet has made memory-long (ressentiment-generated technologies) and people are concerned with liability and damage control… even if the culture were to shift a way away from the Millennial Radlib Consensus, there is still no guarantees that old beef or private beef or deep-seated parasocial beef will fade. Especially in academia and entertainment. Some other people can come along with a condensed “Red Scare”-line and without any of the aforementioned baggage. In short, Red Scare induces a very feminine anxiety in my person, the feeling of being spoiled goods to be discarded replaced by something younger and lovelier, more refined and polite. Even on the part of the people who’d once embraced them.
You were good once but not anymore.
If a “true heir” to Christopher Lasch’s work can be identified, they’ll likely not be an academic or a journalist reproducing Lasch. It’ll be a podcaster. Even if Anna Khachiyan or Dasha Nekrasova never get around to writing the definitive book on the subject, the podcast itself, proves the art revealing the eras pathology. The Podcast including the podcasters and the audience.
I think the initial accusations lobbed at Red Scare, that they’re “Crypto-Fascists” or “Crypto-Strasserists” before the Thiel Conspiracy, was the anguished reception of Khachiyan’s critical approach, sheathed, propelled, and distorted through feminine aggression and envy. Anna’s content and Dasha’s form. Around 2018 or so controversial pictures showing a younger Dasha and Brace Belden surfaced, in one of them Dasha appears to be putting up an SS flag, in another she appears to be performing a sun salute. As I understand it these photos were likely leaked by Dasha herself at the start of the podcast, to a (probably) mentally-ill woman, in order to stir up controversy and arouse attention. Think it’s obvious that part of it was them obviously fucking around with the Sadomasochistic core of National Socialism. The absurdity and perversity of it. Artistically this is something old schools Queer artists like Kenneth Anger explored in works like Scorpio Rising to great aesthetic effect. If I had to mount a defense for Mills College era garage punk Dasha after having blamed the nefarious/corrupting influence of Brace Belden and Friedrich Nietzsche, loves’ intoxicating effects, and a zealous sympathy for ghouls and goblins. And based on what I’d imagine Dasha Nekrasova herself would argue… as precocious and bookish ponderer, who reads fast, retains information, creatively synthesizes, has a genuine fascination with these subjects, and who likes to draw her knowledge of the material in question out at unexpected moments in order to stunt on people giving me the impression of having the perfect combination of agonal spirit and insecurity… The point of displays like the behind-the-scenes/promotional materials leaked showing her putting up an SS flag or wearing a dog collar with leather-jacket Belden holding the leash in one hand and a switchblade in another, is to emphasize the link between the fascist ideal and the sadomasochistic fantasy. Fashy-Authoritarian politics stems from the sexual pathologies of repressed nerds erupting out into the world. The mesmeric pull of Fascist aesthetics can be attributed to this. They induce a certain fascination precisely because they sing to our own innate perversity. Which is perhaps innate to all of us… It draws our attention and speculation because it gets the blood-pumping.
[To be continued]

Hi! It me again!
Hex is on vacation and asked me to fill in this week. Hex is adorable and keeps signing in to check if stuff's happening. What's the worst that can happen? It's not like anything crazy usually goes off, right?
...Oh. It was April 1st? And our vote nearly failed? And 5c is still increasing? And the servers were down for longer than usual? And during all of this, I entirely forgot to do the one critically important thing before EOC and so I only have partial information because I was distracted by the fact that Dragon Tax Simulator did not at all prepare me for actually doing my state taxes?! Oh, okay... D::::
 
 
Okay, okay, let's start from the beginning (and also take a moment to explain some basic stuff because I've just always wanted to see this and it's /my article/ this week OwO!): It's the week after Winters scrapped and they did well with it, so things might behave weirdly. Normally, we try to ensure that at least 75% of our pledges vote for Consolidation, so that we don't expand. There's nowhere that we can expand to that helps our power unless other people drop their systems first, and unfortunately, Winters didn't drop anything useful during their scrap. If we did expand, it'd almost definitely be bad for us.
So, of course, some people try to expand because they're traitors and are working against us from within, on purpose. We generally refer to this as "5c". Please don't do it to anyone, not even our enemies; this is a game, and it only works well if we can all fairly counter-play. Countering 5c is unreasonable/impossible without knee-capping yourself. (For example, we can't handle large multi-system expansions since we have to account for 5c activity.).
In particular, 5c tries to get us to expand to HIP 1572, which gives us almost no CC, but costs a ton, and is basically the worst system in the entire game for us to take. It's as if somebody carefully tabulated every possible expansion target, and blatantly picked the worst one, with no regard to plausible deniability.
Beyond this being dangerous if our vote ever falls below 75%, this also means that we can't properly expand unless we beat HIP 1572's own hauling, too. Over the previous few months, I feel as if our vote has been getting harder to manage, and HIP 1572's hauling has been increasing.
So, Cycle 461: Our vote's almost below 75% and HIP 1572 has high numbers. Oh no! We had to prepare a different system with the hopes that we'd beat HIP 1572's numbers, and that the system we prepare is easy for us to not actually win. We call this a "blocker". I have a habit of noticing when we'll need a blocker before other people do, and so I panic earlier than everyone else. This was me during C461: https://i.imgur.com/pH7fgPw.png .
Please, in the future, let's avoid making panic-dragon panic! Look at how tightly I'm holding my headfin! Look at how big my eyes are! This isn't good for my blood pressure! Vote consolidation! Vote as early as you can so you don't forget later! You need 100 merits to be able to vote, so if you haul just one cutter-load per month, you're golden. Please please please vote cons!
This is me this week: https://i.imgur.com/qh5P87T.gifv . The panic almost can't get worse! Please! Vote! Consolidation!
There. Like seven paragraphs devoted to "please vote cons". I think I can move on to other topics now. Let's try a happy one! OwO!
April 1st happened. It's tradition in our discord server (which you should totally join by the way) to be silly on this most special of days! This year, I tried to pretend to be human (and failed to not "owo" at people), somebody else wore a furry picture, a new pvp coordinator appeared and immediately ordered everyone to kill oosqueeky, another of our coordinators was replaced by a goat, and I explained why my emotes are animated! (All of this is, of course, fake, except for the emote surprise. That one's real.).
Shortly after these events, interest picked up amongst the community about my own hauling abilities. For those who don't know: I haul good. The video I'm posting here is old; it's been at least six years since then, and believe me, I've gotten even faster. I'm now planning to produce a series of videos that deep-dive my methods, but those will probably only be available on our discord server, so join up! I don't have a release date yet; the full extent of what I do, which allows for close to ten laps per hour, is only possible with a large number of small optimizations. There is no "one big secret". So, the videos will take a while. Until then, you can get to know our community! OwO!
I never know what I can and can't say about BGS, but this week was busy. I won't say the specific systems, but we won some important stuff, and we had a lot more people doing BGS than usual. Everyone looked so wiggle! OwO! Make sure to thank BGS operatives if you're into fort hauling; their efforts, especially in extreme situations, reduce the amount of cargo that we have to haul to 1/3rd of what it might otherwise be!
Speaking of haulers, good work! We did the entire TrellOwO! Just in time to do the blocker, too! I don't think I can report on the exact numbers for that, due to opsec, but "it was impressive" might cover it. I personally think we may need it again this week; have your cargo racks ready! (Or don't, if a PPCoord says otherwise; I'm a community coord, not a powerplay coord. Listen to the PPCoords first. In the even wider galactic stage, only Winters has an expansion this cycle, and Antal's unwanted expansion to Unjangen failed. Things aren't calm though; thargoids are /really/ messing with some of the powers' CC balances, and there was extended server downtime during the weekly reboot. When they came back up, thargoids started acting funny. This seems to be intentional; I personally suspect that players were killing the titans too fast and fdev needs a longer plot. At least the community goal to harvest fancy FSD(?) components succeeded!
I would normally give a wider overview of the powers' standings and undermined systems, but due to the aforementioned dragon-taxes, I completely forgot to gather this data. I hope the rest of the article can at least sort of make up for that!
I don't know how to end this article, so hard-cut to this image of a cat! OwO!
 
OwObjectives for Cycle 461 (until April 11th):

• Vote for Consolidation! (Please!) Voting is the most important thing you can do for AD, so make sure to maintain rank 2! It only takes 100 merits and four weeks of pledge time. Here's where to vote in the UI. Early votes are the best kind of votes!
• Check the Trello for dynamic fortification targets! This is updated more frequently than the in-game menu. Please, ONLY fortify systems listed on the Trello.
• Please do not prepare any systems this week. Spare media materials can be safely delivered to HIP 35209.
• Combat merits: oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Chang O.
• AX: Imperial Xeno Defense seems confused this week with the sudden changes that FDev applied. Please check their announcements directly if possible, otherwise help at systems near the Oya maelstrom.
• Join the Discord for guides, mentoring, BGS, PVP, and insight. Powerplay is a community game, so connect with us!
• Aisling Duval powerplay is committed to the ZYADA alliance: Zemina Torval, Yuri Grom, Arissa Lavigny-Duval, Denton Patreus, Aisling Duval.
• See also, other powers active on Reddit: EliteGrom, kumocrew (Archon Delaine), EliteMahon, EliteWinters.

 
PS: Dragon Tax Simulator is real and actually does a decent job of looking like the federal tax forums in America. If you're nervous about doing taxes, give it a shot; it might take the edge off. You can ignore the timer; that's just there to show you that you can seriously do this in five minutes once you get used to it, owo.
