Wives of March

Three former spouses of MAJESTIC personnel have discovered the source of their misery: Delta Green. These “Wives of March” are now taking vengeance on the secret conspiracy that took away their husbands and destroyed their lives.

A Delta Green scenario for three players

## THE WIVES OF MARCH

Your husbands were good men, who protected America from extraterrestrial threats, and terrorists took them away from you. With nothing to lose, and some advanced technology at your disposal, you’re going to make Delta Green pay for what they’ve done to you.

[Give each player one of these characters]

### DONNA RAMIREZ

**STR** 12, **CON** 13, **DEX** 11, **INT** 12, **POW** 13, **CHA** 11

**HP** 13, **WP** 13, **SAN** 52, **BP** 39, Totemic Compulsion (ICEPICK)

**SKILLS**: Alertness 50%, Athletics 50%, Computer Science 60%, Craft Locksmith 40%, Criminology 60%, Disguise 50%, Dodge 40%, Drive 50%, Firearms 40%, Law 40%, Melee Weapons 40%, Persuade 50%, Search 40%, SIGINT 40%, Stealth 70%, Unarmed Combat 50%

**ATTACKS**: .32 Pocket Gun (40%, D8)

Knife (40%, D6, 3 AP

**BONDS**: Frank Mohler (Ex-Husband) 11

Mallory “Mal” Bennion 11

Arina Scheherazade 11

**MOTIVATIONS**: Get Frank out of prison

Get access to the secret bank accounts

Revenge on Delta Green is a means to an end

**ICEPICK**: An IBM 8MB flash drive on a keyring. When connected to a computer with an internet connection, appears as a simple input screen which can be asked questions in plain English to gain a response. The waiting time for a reply is wildly variable, but it doesn't have to be plugged in to continue the search.

**HARD LUCK**: You're broke, treat every Incident Expense as a Standard Expense.

Your ex-husband Frank Mohler worked for an outfit called AQUARIUS in Majestic-12. He kept passwords to secret bank accounts, but he won’t give you them until he gets out of maximum security Federal prison. Your true motivation is to exonerate him so you can get the money. Your story about getting revenge on Delta Green is a sham to get the other women on-board.

The ICEPICK flash drive contains a search engine that answers inquiries in plain English it shows a frighteningly powerful ability to root out online information if it’s plugged into any device with internet access. You are terrified it could be traced.

You used ICEPICK to find a suppressed document that showed Mal’s husband was poisoned with thallium.

You believe Majestic-12 was made a political sacrifice following the failure of the extraterrestrials to prevent 9/11, and that Delta Green is a terrorist organization linked to George Soros and the traitorous Democratic Party.

### MALLORY “MAL” BENNION

**STR** 11, **CON** 12, **DEX** 12, **INT** 13, **POW** 12, **CHA** 12

**HP** 12, **WP** 13, **SAN** 48, **BP** 36, Iophobia (Fear of Poison)

**SKILLS**: Accounting 50%, Alertness 60%, Anthropology 40%, Athletics 50%, Bureaucracy 70%, Dodge 70%, First Aid 50%, History 50%, HUMINT 60%, Law 40%, Medicine 40%, Persuade 60%, Pharmacy 40%, Psychotherapy 50%, Search 40%

**ATTACKS**: Neural Whip (60%, Stun, see NEURAL WHIP)

**BONDS**: ~~Dr Paul Bennion 12~~

Donna Ramirez 12

Arina Scheherazade 12

**MOTIVATIONS**: I am committed to this

Delta Green will pay for killing poor sweet Paul

I don’t really want to hurt anyone

**NEURAL WHIP:** Housed in a plastic container that looks like a TV remote, the neural whip shoots chittering blasts of green and white energy. You have identified two settings: Pain (which costs nothing), and Incapacitate (stuns for 30-60 seconds, 0/1D6 from Helplessness). You suspect there is also a Kill setting, if not worse. You also suspect the whip is alive, or responds to your thoughts - certainly, it seems to aim itself.

**WELL TAKEN CARE OF**: You're rich, treat every expense as one rank lower than usual.

Your husband, Dr Paul Bennion, worked for an outfit called PLATO in Majestic-12. When he died, you were told it was food poisoning from bad oysters. Donna showed you a document proving he’d been poisoned with thallium. Thanks to Donna, you now have a chance to get revenge on the perpetrators.

Your ‘neural whip’ lives in a little plastic box resembling a TV remote that you can wave at attackers to disable them. Paul told you to treat it like a taser. From experience, you know that it can both inflict pain and incapacitate, depending on your intentions.

You believe Majestic-12 is laying low in the private sector, and Delta Green is a terrorist organization supported by xenophobic Christian fundamentalist groups.

### ARINA SCHEHERAZADE

**STR** 13, **CON** 11, **DEX** 13, **INT** 11, **POW** 11, **CHA** 13

**HP** 12, **WP** 11, **SAN** 44, **BP** 33, Addiction (“Ron” Parasite)

**SKILLS**: Accounting 40%, Alertness 40%, Athletics 50%, Computer Science 30%, Craft (Electrician 60%, Mechanic 50%), Disguise 50%, Drive 50%, First Aid 30%, HUMINT 50%, Navigate 60%, Persuade 70%, Search 60%

**BONDS**: ~~Colonel Ron Scheherazade (Husband) 13~~

Donna Ramirez 13

Mallory “Mal” Bennion 13

**MOTIVATIONS**: Show off what you can do

Have a good time

Revenge on Delta Green sounds FUN

**PARASITE RON**: It takes a turn to shove this spiny little maggot up your nose. Once seated, it grants you the following skills: Demolitions 40%, Firearms 80%, Heavy Weapons 60%, Melee Weapons 60%, Military Science: Land 60%, and Unarmed Combat 80% for 2D6 rounds. It costs 1/1D6 SAN per use. Using the parasite again within an hour of use reduces effective time to 1D6 rounds and increases SAN cost to 1D6/2D6.

**ONE ARM:** Your right arm is missing. You either take a -20% penalty to actions requiring two hands, or can’t do them at all. Thankfully, you were left handed to begin with.

Your husband, Colonel Ron Scheherazade worked for an outfit known as NRO Delta. You were only a few feet away when your husband opened the mail bomb that killed him. Now you’ve got one arm, and a mouthful of gold teeth and wires. In spite of all that, you’ve still got it.

Your friends Donna and Mal recently invited you to help chase down the people who killed your husband. You have come to terms with Ron’s death, expect to join him soon, and find this excursion a welcome distraction from sitting at home with a bottle of scotch, hoping your feckless children would call.

You call the parasite “Ron” because when it crawls up your nose canal it makes you feel strong, invincible, like you’re with him, in him, part of him, and you can use his skills. Pity he was right-handed.

You believe Majestic-12 has moved most of its operations off-world to military installations on the moon and Mars, and that Delta Green probably all have alien parasites in their heads or up their asses.

## BRIEFING

Thanks to ICEPICK, you figured out ex-physician and ex-con Emmy LaBarbara was involved with the Delta Green organization that assassinated your husbands. Using your combined counterintelligence and tradecraft skills, you apprehended her. Under interrogation, she confessed to working with Delta Green as Agent SELLERS, in a cell with Agent STUART (who worked for the USPIS and had the last name Claybourne), and Agent SHALIMAR (who worked for the FBI).

You’re currently in an abandoned Baltimore warehouse. Arina just pulled up in her car. SELLERS just escaped and made a run for it. The last thing she said before getting loose was “I had to poison him. I’m so sorry. It was war.”

What do you do?

## SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

The police arrive 15 minutes after the start of the session, but they can be avoided. Fucking with them causes a faster and harder reaction from the Program. Making a scene while chasing SELLERS increases the likelihood that the cops take notice.

SELLERS tells a gas station clerk she was just mugged, and uses his phone to warn STUART. Then she runs off to hide in a safe house (The abandoned OBAMA MINI MART in the Old Town Mall), where she stays for the night. STUART contacts the Department of Operations and begins getting a Working Group together.

Working Group BEEKEEPER arrives to be debriefed by STUART at 9am the next day, two naive young Program recruits. They proceed to the safe house to pick up SELLERS and take her to a motel, where they debrief her, make some promises, and then abandon her.

STUART spends the day at USPIS HQ, arguing with his boss about an unscheduled overseas trip. After work he swings by a Green Box to pick up something for self defense (it’s dusty, there are still parts of the bomb making process scattered around) and access a secure server connection to SHALIMAR using the old system and his phone hotspot. SHALIMAR tells him to go fuck himself, he’s out of the game and no one is coming for him.

STUART calls BEEKEEPER to tell them he’s getting out of dodge and going to stay with a friend in the Appalachians.

SHALIMAR gets ready for a potential showdown with MAJESTIC malcontents or the Program. He’s armed for bear in a booby trapped cabin in the Appalachians. He pulls a gun on STUART when he arrives, tying him up and interrogating him.

BEEKEEPER is two young men who look like Mormon missionaries, but are actually FBI Agents and Program assets who happen to be Mormon: Tanner Larue and Ryker Rylie. They think they are looking for a criminal with some link to alien technology. They don’t know about the old Delta Green or MAJESTIC, since STUART didn’t give them the full picture. Tanner has a foul-smelling spray bottle which he insists on spraying everyone with to make sure they’re not protomatter, while Ryker under stress becomes paranoid about unclean spirits and sinner angels.

## MISC

The ICEPICK flash drive pings a Migo crystal matrix AI in an abandoned basement somewhere, which parses the query, performs the search and returns the results.

If your players aren’t ready to play as a trio of superpowered MILFs, you can run this as a normal Delta Green adventure, inserting the Agents in place of BEEKEEPER
