Delta Green
Cowboys and Outlaws
Delta Green is a contemporary secret organization, created by the U.S. Government following the covert raid on the town of @Innsmouth, Massachusetts. The organization, which takes the name of Delta Green from a WWII-era security classification, is spearheaded by elements of the United States government.
Ask any two Delta Green agents “What is Delta Green?” and you’ll get two very different answers. It is an enigma. Its mission requires concealing itself from the public, from the rest of the U.S. government, and even, sometimes, from its own agents.
It is likely that even a veteran agent has met fewer than five Delta Green operatives. That’s it. There are no cubicles. No secret bases. No newsletters or human resources intranets. No badges or letterhead. Every team is spread out, coming together only when a mission demands it.
Details about the leadership are off-limits. If there is a headquarters, you’ve never seen it. If you do know more, you know to keep it to yourself. Such knowledge could get people arrested or killed. The group is more like a secret society than an agency of the federal government.
Every Delta Green agent spends most of his or her time working a “real” job. Many are FBI, CIA, or military, but nearly any profession can be found in Delta Green’s ranks.

Once, Delta Green investigated the return
of a lost child. It was not a happy reunion. Michael
Lumsden had died of leukemia at Philadelphia Children’s
Hospital ten years before.
Now he had miraculously returned, no older and with no sign of illness. The agents were clever. If Michael Lumsden was home after all these years, what was buried in his coffin?
Answer: the rotted remains of a ten-year-old boy. So, what was the thing that looked and acted like Michael Lumsden?
Should the team put the child-thing down like a rabid dog? Could they? Then there was the rest of the family. Were they infected by whatever influence pretended to bring Michael Lumsden back to life? What power haunted the Lumsden home?
Nobody looked for guidance from their superiors. Everyone knew the orders would be: “Take care of it.” How could they live with themselves if they made the wrong call, or even the right one? What kind of a person joins a group that has to make those kinds of decisions?
You.
