Operational Briefing

 

 

August 2nd to November 15th 1943

Solomon Ilsands, South Pacific

Operational Log:

in Zero Point Achtung Cthulhu

 Played October 28th 2023

The Team:

Lieutenant William (Billy) Boyle US Army, a Boston Police Department detective. He comes from a family line of cops with Irish Republican leanings. When America enters World War Two his father and others fear he will be killed defending the hated British, as was his uncle in World War One. Calling on family connections they arrange for Billy to be assigned to the staff of a cousin's husband, a little-known Army officer named Dwight D. Eisenhower. “Uncle Ike”, as he is called in private, is soon promoted and takes Boyle with him as a staff investigator to solve crimes that require not only professionalism but discretion. Far from the safe stateside job his family back in Boston hoped for, Billy finds himself in great danger on every assignment. This trip to the south Pacific is no acceptation, and is a favor being done for Joesph P, Kennedy Sr, a very powerful Irish American and Ambassador.

Lieutenant Baron Piotr Augustus Kazimierz: Known as "Kaz", he was attending school in the United Kingdom when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939. His family all killed by the Nazis, Kaz joins the Polish government-in-exile and is assigned to Eisenhower's staff as a translator. He quickly developed a strong friendship with Billy and the two of them are usually sent on missions together. This run to the south Pacific will be their 10th mission together in the past year.

The top brass in Washington DC and other high places were “Disturbed” by his original report. Disturbed enough to activate a Delta Green unit that has been sitting on standby in Australia for over a year just in case of exactly what Tamana briefly described in his report. Now he is dead, and Delta Green is here to assist the murder investigation.
