The REDACTED Reports (The REDACTED Reports)

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.

This is it: the final descent. It’s time to find out what’s beneath the Cobra Dane and solve the mystery of what’s been causing the mysterious sickness. Good luck, Agent Rory.

R Cell must make an impossible decision. What should they do about Christina Jacob and her Star-Child? Can they be saved? And can this contamination be contained? Whatever they decide, there will be consequences that must be faced. And the clock is ticking.

CW: Child Violence

On September 21st, 2022, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 4, known as Operation Downpour. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman), they dove deep into topics such as PTSD, body horror, safety tools, and sexism. Consider this a warning for the material covered, and come join the conversation.

It's been a while since R Cell has come together...

The ritual has begun. Father is bringing the ancient god Baal into this world. Is R Cell capable of stopping the EOD before they bring this evil into our reality? Or will they (and the world) be forced to deal with the aftermath? It all comes down to this.

After the disturbing events at the Green Box, R Cell returns to town for much needed food and answers. What are these Mi-Go? What about Operation Mirage? And how do they all relate to what’s happening in Helena, Montana? Castle owes the team some answers, and he has some bombshells about the nature of their mission and Delta Green itself.

Exhausted from the team tension and overheated from the day in Mustang, R Cell reconvenes to discuss their next steps. But before they can create a plan of action, a series of texts from Quinn’s sister throws everything into disarray, and the Agents must struggle to balance completing the mission and protecting the ones who matter most.

With the invitation to meet Father set for tomorrow evening, R Cell reaches out to Lance Corporal Ortega and her squad for backup. But even the best laid plans don’t survive first contact with cultists, a lesson the team learns first hand as an unexpected phone call makes them rethink everything.

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.

R Cell’s investigation of the Abril house murders continues. Their contacts at the Marine Corps Air Station supply needed information as well as some surprising resources. But when Yuma PD informs them of new developments, R Cell quickly realizes just how Unnatural this case is.

Having arrived in Helena, Montana and received information from their local contact, R Cell sets up and begins their investigation by starting with the deceased. The first step is the Lewis & Clark Country Sheriff's Office. What sorts of horrors will they find as they dig into Deputy Sheriff Fred Jacob's work before he died? 

The team is reassembled, but the mission specs are not. With a rare chance to prepare before heading out, R Cell going to pull on every thread they can find. They need every lead they can string together, especially before facing yet another desert.

(Additional music by Allen Strickland: https://allenstrickland.net/)

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.

This is how it ends. Who will take their bows at curtain call?

R Cell’s investigation isn’t running against the clock for once, so they  can actually take the time to be deliberate. Nathaniel Wingate-Peaslee is the next stop on the team’s list, but first River needs to decipher a  code and Rowan has to meet her new office mate.

Domestic bliss was nice while it lasted, but in this line of work that’s rarely for long. It’s not a “coinkydink” that the conspiracy podcasts have started sniffing around Rooster…or his past…but it does make him wonder: what do they actually know?

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.

The festivities for Father's Day are in full swing in Mustang as R Cell arrives. On the surface it may appear as nothing more than a quaint local celebration, but there is a dangerous undercurrent that threatens to drag the agents under. What dark secrets are hidden here? And why is Father’s Day being held 10 days too early?

It's been several months since the last time R Cell was called up, giving them some time to rest and move on with their daily lives. But debts always come due eventually, and this time it's not just A Cell with a mission on the books. Time to cowboy up and get with the Program.

The haunting song that keeps appearing echoes in R Cell’s ears as they enter the Medicine Annex yet again. They think they’re armed and prepared for any eventuality, but what they find within will jar them to their very cores.

Sometimes risk brings reward, but this risk might have gone a step too far. R Cell has uncovered vital new information, but protecting themselves from it may have cost one of their only strong leads. Danger seems to be mounting as more and more attention is turned to the team, but their clues are dwindling fast with every exit of another connection. Turns out even keeping the party together isn’t always enough to keep you safe…

The Burn might be siiiiiick, but the Agents are more ill at ease about everything that’s been happening. Still, with an actual night of sleep and nothing stronger than a cup of coffee in their systems, perhaps they can finally try to piece together the scattered and shattered pieces of this puzzle and see the bigger pictures emerge.

The Agents return home from Idaho for the holidays. With everything that’s happened, they’re still able to find the light in family traditions and surround themselves with joy and love. They’ve earned this.

R Cell was able to walk away from the Annex, but the next morning finds the agents rife with tension. What is this investigation costing them? While the mysteries of Mustang, Deep Ones, and Father remain, they must now confront their own worst enemy: each other.

The war council has convened, all cards are on the table, and R Cell is determined to find Lionel Wyatt a.k.a. “Father.” Now, as they stare at “Bullet Bill” on Rowan’s coffee table, it’s time to tug on those threads from the red string board.

R Cell knows their quarry has fled toward Devils Tower, but there’s cleanup to be done at Benthic Pharmaceutical first. The trail of destruction and infection leads deeper into the underground complex. And they have to take out whatever Unnatural horror may lurk down there.

Having found the grim message painted in blood, R Cell begins the work of unfolding the mystery surrounding Tim Ellis's disappearance and how it connects to the odd etchings left on wildlife bones in the area.

Following the deadly miscommunication, Team Hammerlock presses deeper into the mountains. What is hidden in this ancient place? What secrets is their guide keeping? And how will all of this change Rooster into the man that R Cell knows?

While unsure what Rowan is “immune” to, the fact she has some sort of protection from the nightmares of her past is a much needed morale boost. With more information about Project Covenant and what they may be facing, R Cell continues tugging on the red strings that all somehow lead back to Mustang, Arizona.

R Cell has split the party. Rooster and Rowan are at the Jacob residence, but they found an open door and a missing woman (and star-child). Meanwhile Rory and River are planning to pay Laura Ghant a visit, intent on discovering her connection to the Oakland Pit. Will the enigmatic CEO of the Benthic Corporation give them any information? Will the team be able to catch Christina and the baby before they get…somewhere?

Sobered by Albermarle Marsh’s passing, R Cell prepares their next move. The movie theater in Mustang is still their best lead if they can get there unseen. But no plan survives first contact with cultists, and speed bumps force R Cell to reassess the situation. They need a new plan. Because Father’s Day is coming.

Once you know what's out there, you can't un-know. And so even when the Agents return to their mundane names and activities, there are things they see wherever they go that bleed over the edges of the other job, things that sooner or later will have to be faced.

(Additional music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/nebula)

There’s no rest for the weary, and the end of elections only means the start of work for Ross and Regan. But when a familiar figure from that Thing in the Desert turns up at a political fundraiser, the lines between work and “other work” start to cross more than the Agents are comfortable with.

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?

While no one in R Cell is excited about their newest assignment in Afghanistan, it’s particularly hard on those with memories here. But there’s no time to recover from jet lag, and the Unnatural doesn’t care about PTSD. It’s time to start the investigation.

A rocket-propelled grenade is a very clear hint that someone wants to stop R Cell from venturing deeper into the mountains. But this isn’t the first time they’ve faced roadblocks in the endgame, and Ellis is within reach. Will the Agents’ stubbornness propel them past this new obstacle, or have they finally run headlong into a situation they can’t resolve?

Once a predator catches your trail, it can be nearly impossible to shake, and the more in the pack the more danger that stalks. Between the threads of Spider J’s web, the sights of the UFO drones, and the attention of whatever lurks behind the mirrors, the Agents no longer know if they are targets, or simply caught in the collateral wave. Can they race the clock to a real solution, or are they just prey on the run?

Things have been quiet for a long time, long enough for the Agents of R Cell to relax a little. But the Unnatural does not remain silent forever. With a new team dynamic, and clues even more cryptic than usual, it's time to see where this strange new assignment might lead.

(Additional music by Allen Strickland: https://allenstrickland.net/)

Six months after Mustang, it’s time for R Cell to saddle up again, this time to investigate a compromised Green Box in Idaho. But the deadly polar vortex that’s turned the temperature to -60 F with wind chill makes things more difficult. Out of the frying pan and into the freezer; it’s time to put the spurs back on!

The sound of surf echoing in the darkness, R Cell delves into the cave where the EOD once held Rowan captive. Here old trauma meets new questions. Why was Neville called here? Why on this day? And why is he suddenly acting so peculiar?

Their timeline escalated by the phone call from EPA Agent Gaylor, R Cell races for the Oakland Pit. There they find that Benthic has deployed black-ops agents to move their “proprietary organism” from the toxic waters. Can R Cell defuse the situation with diplomacy? Or will they be forced into a more lethal course of action?

(CW: Body horror, sexual situations)

R Cell is split three ways: River has gone into the house party, Rory and Rooster are still out in the cold, and Rowan is alone on her way back from shutting down the power to the house. Splitting the party is never a good idea, but the decision has been made. The question now is if the agents can regroup before anything goes horribly wrong.

An unexpected encounter at the coffee shop sends R Cell into high alert. Buckle up and say farewell to plans, agents. The hunt is on.

Ask a question, get an answer and seventeen more questions.

The trouble is that if you look into mirrors for too long, you might not like what starts looking back.

The lights from the news crew are bright for someone with rose-colored glasses. R Cell is supposed to work in the shadows, but now they’re in the spotlight. There’s an info leak somewhere. A popular streaming service offers some clues, and the agents will have to follow every lead to find a path forward.

(Additional music: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

The sample has been destroyed, but R Cell's mission isn’t complete. The team tends to their wounds and gears up before heading to Benthic headquarters in an attempt to track down the last loose threads. But something there is amiss, and R Cell will have to decide how to handle the unsettling consequences.

Life at the Dominican University goes about unfazed and oblivious to the deep secrets R Cell’s is learning from Nathaniel Wingate-Peaslee. The good professor is a font of knowledge, and it’s all far more disturbing than they expected.

Welcome to the Redacted Reports, a collection of stories about R Cell and their missions as they fight against the darkness of the Unnatural. Allow us to introduce ourselves.

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.

Some questions require answers even when there isn’t an official mission. So when Agent River receives a mysterious voicemail, he follows the trail to the office of Professor Nathaniel Wingate-Peaslee. And everything points to the Chroniclers and the brothers Castillo.

On May 24th, 2023, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 5, known as Operation Ancestors. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman), they discussed Beck in Bedlam, The Horror Out of Ruth Hollow, and Operation: Ancestors proper. Come and join the conversation.

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.

This week, we offer a special audio sneak peak at a Patreon exclusive. “Safety On,” is a novella written by Ben Cislowski, who plays Rooster. The written chapters will be available on a weekly basis on our Patreon, delving deeper into Rooster’s involvement with the Breckenridge Corporation after Operation Shrimp Farm.

The guard with the switchblade is evidence that someone doesn’t want River in the Petaluma Public Library, and access to the knowledge within will pass more twists and turns. But our Theseus may already have the ball of yarn he needs to navigate this labyrinth of knowledge.

Welcome back to the land of the living, Agent Rory. You've been out for a while, and they say you got struck by lightning. That storm was definitely strange, and what you saw was stranger. Was it all a dream? Or is there something else going on?

Safe from the recent misadventure, R Cell returns to the hotel and takes time to dig for clues. The Medicine Annex and Project Covenant that “L Van Cleef” mentioned are juicy leads. But there are multiple layers to the truth, and some may want to stay buried.

Rowan is free. After four months of horror and trauma, there are lingering questions that need answers. But those can all wait. For tonight, the most important thing is rest.

She escaped the Interrogation room. She struck back at the G Man. But there’s still an entire underground facility between Rowan and freedom. She's malnourished, unarmed, and outnumbered. And she’s not backing down.

As the dust settles, R Cell’s mission is single-minded: rescue their fallen companion. Darkness envelops them as they descend deeper into the bowels of the Annex. It is a darkness born of past secrets, present terrors, and future nightmares.

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…

Mysterious meetings sometimes come with the lawyer territory, but even those can hardly compete with what the “other job” offers. Still shaken from the return of nightmare best forgotten, Ross can’t help but feel like this appointment might bring more danger than disclosure. Still, maybe it is safer to try and make a deal with the devil you know, because the other ones are still a mystery so far…

Welcome, Agent Rory, to Eareckson Air Station in Shemya, Alaska. Everyone here has been stricken with a mystery illness. Your mission is to discern its nature and stop the spread.

Closing a missing persons case is a win but it’s concerning that Javier can’t remember the details of his rescue. There’s a lot of red strings to pull between the Wingate-Peaslee’s information, the business card from Muir Wood, and Javier’s drive. But will River find answers or just more questions?

This is where it ends. R Cell speeds across the Montana countryside, racing against time to catch the infected Benthic employees. McCastlin cannot be allowed to do whatever he has planned. So R Cell drives through the night toward Devils Tower, the stone monolith known in indigenous traditions as “Ghost Mountain.”

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.

“Wandering around has given us a certain amount of progress…” Yet again split across the Playa, the Agents must be swift and decisive in their actions to try and prevent further disaster. Can deliberately baiting the predator turn the tables for the prey, or has the dust of the Playa obscured more than just their vision?

It only takes an instant to go from underprepared to overwhelmed. The Agents have finally realized just how vast the problem is, a problem that will have consequences reaching far beyond the insularity of the Burn if they don’t immediately find a way to do…something. When every choice is a risk, how do you decide the least worst choice to make?

The scenery has returned to normal, but the heartbeat of the Playa still reverberates through the Agents' lives. For some perhaps that's to their benefit, but maybe there are some things that would have been better left behind...

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?

While Agent Gaylor was not pleased by R Cell’s intrusion on her investigation, she did point them in the direction of the Oakland Pit. A super-fund site, it seems an excellent source for the heavy metals involved in Deputy Sheriff Jacob’s death. The Agents investigate and discover further clues about their Patient Zero and what may be hidden in the polluted waters.

You’ve spotted something, Agent Rory, that reminds you vividly of Operation Big Sky in Montana. Was that just a weather balloon, or did you see something Unnatural? It’s time to start digging.

His eyes have to be playing tricks on him, right? As a new day dawns over the Burn, the Agents attempt to continue their investigations. But between the drugs, the dust-storms, and the ghosts of the past that have suddenly appeared, it’s getting harder than expected to figure out what’s a lead and what’s leading them on.

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.

The mood is somber as R Cell prepares to pay their respects to Private Homer Ryan on the Marine base. Ryan’s father, recently arrived from Massachusetts for the occasion, is a wealth of information. The red strings are finally connecting, tying the events at the Abril House to Project Covenant and beyond.

When the Executive Vice President of the firm asks you specifically to deal with a problem, of course you jump at the chance to prove yourself to the partners. So, if that means you have to grab your work-BFF, drive four-and-a-half hours north of Sacramento into the rural backwoods of California, and try to convince some old lady to let a conservationist team investigate a threatened species that lives on her property, you hop in the Prius and go. Sure, the cell service might suck, but a little trek into nature can’t be that bad a way to spend the day, right?

Special Agent Hodgson interviewing Doctor Camille Harper about her scholarship and personal experience with a play rumored to be connected to repeated unnatural events.

This episode is a special preview of "For the Record," a spin-off podcast from the world of The Redacted Reports, available exclusively at www.theredactedreportspodcast.com

Shaken by what they discovered in the Abril House, R Cell follows the trail of footprints into the desert. They point toward the town of Mustang and the abandoned Naval Medicine Annex. What they discover will have ramifications far greater than the horrific murder scene they just left.

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.

A flash drive with millions of years’ worth of data. An unassuming public library guarded by a too-familiar invisible barrier. A dead man's son with information about The Library. Agent River has managed to tease out some answers, but has still ended up here: sitting across from a man with both Cyprus Security and Motion Inc. on his business card. What information does this Mikhail Klopper have to offer? And what new questions will it raise?

With enough pressure, sand becomes glass, and seems for some of our agents the situation is indeed becoming clearer. DJs and drugs run rampant, UFOs and unsettling new leads arise, and it’s time to pull the troops back together and trade new information quickly. After all, it doesn’t take much to turn glass into a mirror…

We at The Redacted Reports hope you’ve enjoyed all of Season 3. We’ll be taking a brief break to recalibrate and recuperate before Season 4 on June 8. In the meantime, we'd love for you to help us out by telling us where to find your favorite moments from the show! More info is in this episode itself.

Finding Rowan was only the beginning. Now R Cell has encountered multiple copies of their leader, bodies being consumed from the inside by black worms, and the return of Jonathan Powell. They have to find the truth as quickly as they can. They’re still deep inside a secret bunker with enemies lurking behind every corner.
