Game Night Gentlemen

MIT sits inside a wound in the world. Beyond its edge waits a reality shaped by Wesley Cool’s certainty: a hollow kingdom built to flatter the man who made it. The closer MASTICATE gets, the less they can trust the things they carry, the people beside them, or the memories in their own heads. To survive, they start cutting themselves off one piece at a time. Working Group MASTICATE searches for a way to stop the man that created PICKY EATER, but Cool has had years to master his creation, and he has not been idle.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Both halves of MASTICATE arrive at the King property to find Vicki alive, her daughters older than they should be, and the walls between worlds already thin. Vicki can lead the team to PICKY EATER's origins, but in her world, her deepest fears are reality. The Reapers are out hunting and won't stop until they claim their prize. The line between worlds gets less clear with every PICKY EATER. It won't hold.

Matthew McCarter arrives at Frosty Pines alone. The trailers are pristine, the license plates wrong, the world subtly, completely off. Back in the real Frosty Oaks, the rest of MASTICATE works Cordell Wallace: a man with a grudge, a shotgun by the door, and something to hide. Somewhere on this property, a machine is running. While it does, McCarter is inside Robert Wallace's paranoid fantasy — and the team doesn't know he's gone.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Out at Platte Air Force Base, Nebraska — population: twelve, and every single one of them is here because someone, somewhere, decided they were a problem not worth solving — the highlight of the week is poker night.Folding tables. A TV from 1979. Sometimes the Major provides whiskey and cigars. It's not much, but it's the best thing going on any given week.Then a van shows up. Men in suits and stormtrooper helmets. Orders say to let them do whatever they want and don't ask questions. The whole base watches them bake in the Nebraska heat from a respectful, not-technically-interfering distance, and starts a betting pool on why nameless government agents have come to Platte AFB.Before the night is over, the craziest bet in the pool is the one that pays.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Delta Green doesn’t chase ghosts, but a ghost hunter could be a useful tool. Gavin reaches out to an online contact who might have answers. Or at least the equipment to ask the right questions.Meanwhile, the rest of W-Cell prepares a stakeout at the Berniers’ home, waiting to see what visits young Kathryn in the middle of the night. If the visitor appears…what exactly are they supposed to do about it?Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Justin steps out of the elevator and into a world where Delta Green won. Public. Funded. Sanctified. Plaques on the wall. Heroes enshrined. Enemies erased.On the sixth floor, the rest of the team feels the pressure building—memories splitting, thoughts recoiling from scrutiny, reality quietly correcting their doubts. Instinct says something is wrong. Their minds insist it isn’t.The scariest possibility isn’t that reality is bending. It’s that it’s pushing them to believe it never changed.They push back.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

What started as a mass shooting doesn’t stay put. As MASTICATE traces PICKY EATER backward, the same technology surfaces in places it shouldn’t—earlier, farther away, already inside federal systems. Studying what lived on McKay’s devices is the shortest path to knowing how to shut it down, but knowledge like that is radioactive.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

In Ithaca, Detective Jim Herz wants the McKay case closed and filed away, while Anne McKenna keeps circling the parts that don’t quite fit. As Ithaca PD washes its hands of a mass murder and the FBI steps in, MASTICATE focuses on the evidence left in the wake of a tragedy: software from an unknown source, an impossible rifle, and a shooter no one seems to really know. One thing is clear: the official story isn't enough to explain Bradley McKay's killing spree.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

The team moves too fast to second-guess, trying to keep Frank alive and track where the Gully-worm went after it stopped being a man. In the middle of the scramble, Justin reaches for something the others didn’t know he had, and it works well enough that no one dares ask how.By the time the operation grinds to a halt, nothing feels settled. Questions linger about where MASTICATE stands, who crossed which line, and what comes next.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Smoke still clings to their clothes when MASTICATE crowds into a Denny’s at one in the morning. The evidence they pulled from the fire is worse than expected—and clearer than they wanted. A woman held for months. A body that died weeks ago. Proof that whatever happened in that basement started with Franklin Dyer, but it sure as hell didn't end there.As the team studies the photos, the pattern locks into focus. Gulley isn’t a loose end or a side problem—he’s the center of it. The real target. And the only way to reach him runs straight through Lieutenant John Marlin.But time is running out. Deputies are watching. A routine drive turns into a high-risk stop. Authority evaporates the moment sirens come on. Every decision carries a cost they can feel settling in.When MASTICATE sits down with Marlin, it’s the start of a countdown. And whatever happens next, they won’t be setting the terms.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

Below deck on the Hull Yeah, MASTICATE holds court over Freddie Sutton. The arguments are practical, clinical even, except for one voice that sounds a little too eager and one that can't quite hide the dread of what's coming. No one can deny the cold logic of what needs to happen next. On deck, something catches Matthew's attention; a scent that he's come to savor, along with its promise of violent indulgence.Back on land, an envelope arrives through channels that don't officially exist. Inside is an offer...or maybe a trap. One phone call could smooth everything over, put all the misunderstandings to rest. But some lines can't be uncrossed, and MASTICATE has to decide whether they're looking for an exit or a fight.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

MASTICATE returns to the Southside Tiger’s house, where the county covered the basement and the police closed the case. Inside, they find what the authorities left behind; stains, smells, and secrets waiting behind the walls. And when the coroner’s report on Jaz Ihejirika arrives, the parallels become impossible to ignore.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

MASTICATE pulls back the cover on Jaz Ihejrika’s death and finds a pattern of overdoses that all look a little too convenient. Attorney Nelinha Estevez might have the map to the rot inside the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department—if she survives long enough to share it.Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.
