Project Alice

On July 19th, 2015, the Agents were summoned by Amarna to meet at the statue of Alice in Wonderland in Central Park, marking the start of Project Alice*.* The goal of the mission is to locate the artist Allegra Kany, who has been missing for more than a month. The NYPD had already been investigating, but with no leads.

## Overview

It has been five years since Frost, Bug and Applewhite were involved in Project Echo together, and they have not been in contact since. Upon reuniting, they discover that in addition to all being relocated to New York City, Frost has been trying unsuccessfully to contact the other two this whole time, leaving them all more confused about the past five years than ever.

The central task of the project as described by Amarna is this: an agency friendly, Posui Jingzi, approached them with a favor. His god-daughter Allegra Kany has been missing for over a month and the NYPD have made little headway. In fact, three of the officers involved have died under mysterious circumstances.

The Agents learn also that Kany has been residing in the Macallistar Building, one of the Thought Houses.

## Summary of Events

### July 29, 2015

Five years after they worked together the Agents all receive a text that there is a new project for them, and they are to meet Amarna in Central Park at 5pm. After this comes through both Kara and Kas suddenly get a flood of texts from Beatrice - five years worth, as she has apparently been trying and failing to contact them.

The three meet up at a restaurant near 33 Thomas Street - where it turns out that they have all been working for the past five years without encountering one another. They take some time to catch up; none of them can remember exactly what happened after passing through the doors at the Knopf House, and their memories of the past five years are equally strange, but they all it seemed participated in Project Seeming.

At 5pm they meet Amarna at the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park. Amarna explains the case: a young artist named Allegra Kany has gone missing, and the police are at a dead end. As a favor to her godfather and agency friendly, Posui Jingzi, they are sending the Agents to investigate Kany's disappearance. Amarna explains further that three of the NYPD officers involved in the case have died under odd circumstances. They also inform the Agents that Kany's last known residence was the MacAllistar Building - one of Daribondi's thought houses.

While Amarna is talking, Kas and Beatrice notice a clown nearby flying a kite, with a crowd gathering around it. As they pay closer attention they see that the kite is tracing the pattern of the Yellow Sign in the air. When the crowd begins to dissipate they can be heard murmuring "Have you seen it?"

When Bug is informed of what they just saw she mentions the Static Protocol - but Kas points out that the three of them would be endangered by bringing up the potential exposure, and they decide to move on for now.

The team goes to meet with Jingzi, who fills them in on a few details from the case:

* Allegra moved into the MacAllistar Building in 2009, and after that her art style bgan to change.
* In March she had a very successful show at the Hole Art Gallery.
* He last saw Allegra in May, and between then and when she was reported missing she missed several appointments with both him and her father.
* The first NYPD officer to visit her apartment was John Williams on June 28th . The next day he became aggressive and opened fire in a bar full of cops, shooting three of them before being shot himself.
* The next officer, Detective Lewis Garcia, shot himself two days after becoming involved in the investigation.
* Detective Mark David burned himself and his family alive following his joining the investigation.
* Detective Graham Giurdanda is the current officer assigned to the case.

They get enough of Kany's information from Jingzi to fake a situation that will allow this case to be escalated to the FBI, and then they go to meet up with Marvin Bloom. To Bloom they introduce themselves as Agents Jacob, Justina and Jasmine, taking on the position of J-Cell for the first time. Bloom fills them in on a little more information on both Delta Green and the Program, as well as the Static Protocol.

Following Bloom's, the Agents go to the Hole Art Gallery where they speak with the manager Kathy Grayson. She tells them how Allegra's art went from fairly normal portraiture to fantastical surreal landscapes. Though she claims her photos of the art have been corrupted, the Agents are able to see them just fine, and see that she had painted six of the Thought Houses. Grayson says all of her paintings sold very well.

The Agents wrap up the night by returning to Beatrice's apartment, which they realize is in the same neighborhood as the other two.
