DISINFORMATION
MICHAEL KERAVUORI, THE DOOR OF SILENCE
In 2017, the lone survivor of SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS, Col. Michael Keravuori
(ret.) is a surprisingly fit 98. He lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, on a mod-
est military pension. He spends his Thursdays at the local VFW lodge, drives
a restored 1971 Corvette Stingray, and plays a pretty mean game of golf.
He doesn’t sleep. That is not some metaphor. He has not slept since
the day of his last mission for Delta Green: Operation SKUNKED in Colombia,
1956. Something happened in the jungle that he can’t recall no matter how
hard he tries. He doesn’t try too hard, anymore.
No one in Delta Green knows that Keravuori is not right. Sometimes,
Keravuori himself doesn’t even notice. If not for the dreams, punctual as
always, he might forget altogether. Even without sleep, the dreams come.
During his last vision he almost drove his car off the road.
In the dreams, a gong sounds, and with each sounding a silence covers
a portion of the world. A silence so deep that light and life vanish. In
the end, the Earth is extinguished like a candle. Dead and black. A charnel
house tumbling through the void forever.
Though he does not know why, Michael Keravuori is the man who swings the
hammer, grinning.

OPERATION MALLORY
From 1956 to 1965, Delta Green hunted yeti and followed up on uncanny
alien sightings in the Himalayas, burying its activities in the CIA’s
ST-CIRCUS and ST-BARNUM Tibetan resistance programs. A raid closed a
gate to Leng; another diverted a MAJESTIC team sent to measure gravit-
ic and other anomalies emitted from the temple of Dza-nGar Phan in the
Ü-Tsang Plateau. Agents survived enough encounters with the metoh-kang-
mi (see page 216) to deduce their relationship with the mi-go. Much of
this intelligence was lost before it reached Delta Green’s archives.

During the 1960s, the Executive Committee included:
• DR. JOSEPH CAMP (1918–2001): A wartime OSS officer recruited out of Har-
vard’s Far Eastern Studies Department, Camp had served Delta Green since 1942.
His primary focus was intelligence — though he spent a great deal of time as a
Pentagon adviser in Vietnam and China — and he urged the collection of books
and artifacts for reference.

»» 10 FEB 1997: MAJESTIC Project GARNET completes a laborious sweep of

report seeing a new planetoid moving toward Earth, only to discover
that their computers had all been compromised by a widespread soft-
ware virus. That was an elaborate cover-up by MAJESTIC’s disinfor-
mation teams. Delta Green agents had discovered the “Nemesis” plan-
etoid, and realized that it was in fact a gigantic, living entity,
while investigating an insane plot at the heart of a cult called
Enolsis. The agents disrupted the plot, at great cost, and the plan-
etoid vanished.

Donald Poe — begin a campaign against Stephen Alzis, leader of the
Fate. They assassinate him but a few days later he returns. They try
again, with the same result, over and over. Soon, the reprisals be-
gin. Delta Green agents disappear, one after another. McRay and Poe
break into Club Apocalypse to confront Alzis again, but instead they
steal Alzis’ prize possession, a scrapbook of old photos. Agent Al-
phonse brokers an unpleasant truce. Alzis gets his scrapbook back,
agents stop vanishing, and Delta Green agrees to operate in New York
City only with Alzis’ permission.

U.S. Marshals Service suddenly rectified the errors in the forfei-

The Program put it to use by its asset-recovery arm, Operation CORAL

»» 11 SEP 2001: Al-Qaeda terrorists use hijacked jetliners to destroy
the World Trade Center and damage the Pentagon. A fourth jet crashes
in rural Pennsylvania. The U.S. response transforms law enforcement,
intelligence, defense, and counterterrorism and leads to protracted
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. MAJESTIC scrambles to avoid the White

22 suffer anthrax infections and five die. After years of speculation
and false leads, blame eventually falls on USAMRIID microbiologist
