The REDACTED Reports

On March 19th, 2025, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler beamed in remotely from their respective undisclosed locations to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 8, known as Operation Blue Blood. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman) and with a strong assist from Agent Herald, they delved into their character arcs as agents, the challenges of splitting the party, and even did their colors. Come and join the conversation.

It's important not to get lost in the work, so between missions the agents make sure to forge new connections, hone new skills and…visit St. Joseph's?

Closing another case doesn't guarantee closure for the team. Choices made, or avoided, can hang heavy over the agents, so the work they do after the reports are filed is sometimes just as important.

The immediate threat has been contained, but that doesn't mean the mission is over. Someone else has been operating behind the scenes, and if there's one thing R Cell isn't good at, it's letting things go.

Voices from the past converge on the present as both halves of R Cell finally come face to face with what they've been hunting. Lights blaze, gunshots ring, and the agents are ready to end this mission…even if it means not everyone gets out.Content Warnings:Inadvisable to listen while drivingMisophonia (throughout)Gunshots (throughout)Vehicle Crash (55:04)Explosion (1:03:20)

Glowing blue creatures and tiny blue crystals surround R Cell as the two teams continue their split-party investigation. Pieces of the Montana puzzle fall into place, including a surprising connection to an unexpected previous mission, while the Utah team forges ahead to an even more horrifying discovery.Content Warnings:Gunshot (1:01:58)

The party may be split, but the investigations remain connected as R Cell traces the past to the present with a trail of mysterious blue goo. As their time continues to dwindle, the agents race to complete the puzzle before so many other interested parties converge to both take over and cover up what information remains.Content Warnings:Traffic Noises (Honking) (2:43 - 6:24, 10:51 - 12:55)Siren (15:05)

The last thing the agents want is attention from any of the “other guys,” but alarms have been raised higher up than even members of R Cell can reach. With the clock swiftly ticking on how long they can keep investigating, a dangerous decision is made: R Cell splits the party, hoping both Utah and Montana reveal answers quickly.(Additional music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)Content Warnings:Traffic Noises (Honking) (33:51 - 39:37, 45:00 - 46:01)

Sunlight is the best natural disinfectant, they say, and R Cell is certainly seeing what it can do. But when it comes to the Unnatural, even sunlight might not be enough to break through the shadows that are converging on this investigation.

The investigation is only getting more complicated, and more violent. Whatever is going on, someone or something wants to make sure no one gets any closer. Too bad that's never stopped R Cell.Content Warnings:Medical alarms (1:04:30)

No amount of preparation will help R Cell deal with force majeure, but that's a complication that's going to have to wait. The immediate problems require a different R Cell specialty: a trip to the morgue(Additional Music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)Content Warnings:Misophonia (15:30 - 22:30)Gunshot (22:10 and 37:02) Sirens (44:20 - 44:30)

When the physical trail cools off, the digital trail heats up. Every new bit of information is adding up to a deeply concerning possibility, and after everything they've seen before, R Cell isn't about to slow down the hunt until they have more answers.Content Warnings:Alarm clocks (47:10)

Strange animal activity seems to surround the crime scene radius, and the tracks that lead away suggest that something is on the move. Sometimes a classic door-to-door canvass is the fastest way to get answers, but it wouldn't be an R Cell investigation if it didn't raise more questions too.(Additional music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

Two dead bodies, a secret biohazard lab, and a lot of unsettling goo welcome the agents to the PNW. Preliminary investigations aren't any more reassuring, as R cell begins to construct an unsettling narrative of what may have taken place…and uncover a small but concerning link to a previous investigation.

Cowboys are known to head in guns ablazin', but R Cell is more research than rancheros these days. Still, it's unnerving when a certain group chat alerts the team to a new mission before the official call comes in. Time to saddle up and see what mysteries await in the Pacific Northwest.(Additional music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

I feel like there might be some more explaining to be done...

Utah, 1992. The agents are racing the clock to contain the aftermath of the mystery aircraft that was downed by the U.S. Air Force. But like any Delta Green mission, the task is rarely as straightforward as it seems it should be, and the minutes just keep ticking by…

Utah, 1992. A group of Delta Green agents has been handed an urgent assignment: to find and contain the crash site of a saucer-like aircraft, shot down by the U.S. Air Force. Time is of the essence, which means it's time to deploy the best.

On May 29th, 2024, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 7, known as Operation Dramaturgy. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman), they dove deep into the discussion surrounding the King in Yellow, Carcosa, and how the Agents handled the situations they were handed. Come and join the conversation.

The close of the curtain might transport an audience back to reality, but those behind the scenes know the play doesn't end when the blackout is called. The work lights come on, and it's time to mop up and reset for the next one.

(CW: Gunshot at 24:39, Drowning, Physical Injury) The final act is fast approaching, but the agents are left without a full cast. As the clock counts down to the masquerade, R Cell races to find the rest of the missing actors…including one of their own.(Additional music used: Victor Orchestra, et al. Asleep in the Deep. 1913.

Halfway between worlds, the plot thickens. Most of the team confronts the idea that roles some agents are playing may go deeper than coincidence. And though one agent has found a way back out to their own world, getting back to the team to show them all the way is another matter…

(CW: Body Horror, Eyes, Misophonia at 29:50)All dressed up, now to find someplace to go. The agents are starting to piece together the rules of this strange other-world, but that doesn't mean they've played their full part yet. For that, they'll have to go meet the director.

Access to the city was hard won, but the agents are finally inside and able to ask questions. However, a mythical city full of fictional characters is not the most reliable place to find information. Surrounded by cryptic answers, strange signs, and all this talk of masks, can the agents trust anything here - even themselves?

(CW: Trypophobia, Medical Horror, Teeth)The body count is rising, and not in the fun way. But a mysterious city in a lost, or nonexistent, land seems to be the best lead the agents have to finally find out what happened to their missing persons. However, nothing is ever simple, and there's still a toll to be paid…

Entering a mysterious trap door isn't usually a great survival strategy, and the odds get worse when it's hidden in a mausoleum. But investigating the lead often requires risks, and R Cell is used to making risky maneuvers…

(CW: Sirens 8:02 - 8:19) The queasy stomachs just add another layer to the rising discomfort R Cell has with each new bit of information they uncover. It seems one very specific version of this script will be the key to unlocking any more answers, a version no one has a copy of. But some of the agents know where they might find the key to their key…

A truce with the unknown is never easy, if that's even what just happened? What R Cell does know is that getting access to the mausoleum is now crucial to their continued investigations. Unfortunately, dead men tell no tales…and turns out that isn't limited to pop-culture pirates.

It's rare that R Cell has a subject matter expert to assist them, but as clues and “coinkydinks” pile up, maybe it's never been more important. Lore and theory meet observation and reality head-to-head as the agents and the academic try to make sense out of what they've discovered, and make a plan for what they can do about it.

Past collides with the present as the investigation continues. A mysterious phone call leads Ross and Regan to someone with both a bizarre story connected to the theatre and an unexpected connection to a previous agent of R Cell. Meanwhile, River and Rowan try to connect the dots between three brothers who know too little of their own history, and too much of R Cell's.(Extra music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

Indie theatre has a certain reputation for unusual concepts, but last night's show seemed weird even by those standards. Still, a new day dawns, and now R Cell finds themselves looking for information someplace even more unsettling than the theatre…a place they had hoped to never visit again, lest they find themselves never leaving.

Compared to some investigations, R Cell has uncovered an unexpected wealth of information to add to the file. Though some of the team is still shaken from a glimpse of something they aren't sure they were meant to see, there will certainly be time to ponder that after the comedy show. No late seating!

Reading may be R Cell's most dangerous pastime, but it can still only get them so far in an investigation before the boots (and Regan's sensible heels) need to hit the pavement. River and Ross head out to investigate a theatre which may or may not exist, while Rowan and Regan follow up on the contacts of the play's enigmatic missing director.

A new year means a new mission, and this one is a far cry from R Cell's usual fare. On the surface, a missing persons case hardly seems like it would be linked to the Unnatural, but the Agents know by now that anything can hide sinister supernatural secrets…even something as straightforward as a stage play.

This case is gonna be a little bit different for R Cell...this is a missing persons case...

Superstitions are prevalent in the theatre community, but this is bizarre even amongst those who are accustomed to it. And as the actors get farther into the rehearsal process, they have to wonder: is just this a normal part of the theatrical weirdness, or is there something deeper and stranger at work in this production?

Summer 2024, and whispers ripple through the San Francisco theatre scene. A visionary director has gathered a group of mostly-unknown actors, and rehearsals for yet another bold indie production begin.

On October 18th, 2023, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 6, known as Operation Kaleidoscope. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman), they discussed the various things that happened throughout the season (yes, including THAT). Come and join the conversation, but beware the spoiler warnings.

Knowing all the possible risks is not the same as understanding the consequences. R Cell has always known that someday this could be the outcome, and now they will have to understand what it means to go forward when it's happened. But first, a toast.(Extra music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

Following the individual strings has led all the Agents back together, and no one likes what they've found on the other end of the tether. But when R Cell has already come this far, there's no way they won't see the mission through to the end…even a mission that they weren't supposed to pursue.(Extra music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/nebula)

Hunter becomes hunted becomes hunter again. Rowan has been pushed past her limits and come out the other side, but this chapter is far from resolved. It's time to recover your senses, reassess the situation at hand, and reconvene the troops. Because after all: it's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you.

(CW: Explosions, Vehicle Sounds) No one expected “let slip the dogs of war” to literally be the next big influencer trend. Regan and Ross try to connect the dots between their respective meetings with Alexia Preston, but another mysterious meeting awaits in the verdant secrecy of yet another exclusive group. Still, it might be worth hearing out the offer; at least these two already know that books can indeed be very dangerous…(Extra music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/nebula)

Ask a question, get an answer and seventeen more questions. Interviews complete, River now returns to one of the biggest of those questions: how to deal with the Hound now that it seems to have resurfaced. The trouble is that if you look into mirrors for too long, you might not like what starts looking back.(Extra music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/nebula)

(CW: Misophonia, Gore Sounds) Influencers are supposedly just people too, but Regan is rightly wary of applying that assumption to Alexia Preston. However, more information is always better than none, and if that requires diving deep into the sordid underbelly of Insta-perfection, so be it. Time to “yaaaas-and” into yet another mystery.
