I've wanted to run "Black Cod Island" from Delta Green's "Targets of Opportunity" for a while now, but wasn't sure how to make the write-up playable. However, I recently came up with the idea to steal the concept of Seth Skorkowsky's Call of Cthulhu scenario "A Mother's Love".
02/12/2008. Ketchikan, Alaska.
You are a group of federal agents working a fugitive apprehension taskforce in the snowy wilds of Alaska.
Your quarry is Jason Tak’wjaa, and his five accomplices, who robbed several jewellery stores in Vancouver, Canada. The gang has been on the run through rural British Columbia, evading Canadian authorities for months.
After a shootout with the RCMP that left one of their number dead, it was believed the gang fled through the Canadian wilderness and crossed the border into Alaska. This was confirmed when workers at the Lower Silvis Lake Powerhouse Dam on Revillagigedo Island discovered of the corpse of another gang member, dead of blood loss and hypothermia. Authorities are unsure as to the other fugitives' whereabouts, with most arguing they perished in the cold of the Alaskan wilds.
However, whilst Tak’wjaa spent most of his life in Canada, he originates from the nearby Native American reservation of "Black Cod Island", situated to the west of Prince of Wales Island - home to the eponymous Haida Indian tribe.
You have been assigned to search Black Cod Island for the fugitives, in case Tak’wjaa took refuge in his hometown. Unfortunately, tribal authorities don't have the strongest history of cooperation with the federal government, due to several scandals involving the CDC in the 1980s.
Thankfully, despite these hang-ups, the Black Cod Tribal Police have agreed to help you search the reservation for Tak’wjaa and his gang - though they have expressed serious doubts at the idea of fugitives hiding on their island.
And without further ado, here's the four pregenerated federal agents for the scenario:
