With every new change to the team, it gets a little harder to see the forest for the trees.

The agents have returned to their lives in the city, which in many ways isn't so different from frantically running around the woods.

The team throws a fit at the pit as some systems quit and everything goes to-

Divide and conquer is the name of the game as R Cell races to seal the gates and stop Them. But getting outta Dodge (Charger) is never a simple prospect, and it seems like maybe not every member of the team will get to tell this tale…

A tattoo, some black goo, and a gunfight too as the agents take a stand against whatever ritual is trying to end the world this time. Oh, and there’s a book…whoo-hoo?

Things that should be small get bigger. Things that were big get smaller (but still weird). Some unnerving things are unrelated, some relations have unnerving things. Time to move to-ward a solution.

Another agent reveals some potentially relevant info to the team, as both the too-verdant foliage and the unnervingly Unnatural you-know-whats seem to proliferate. The agents attempt to settle in for the night, but R Cell has never been known to truly get a peaceful rest…

Them is already here. Them is feeding. Them is ready. Them will ascend and reset the timeline. Uuuuuuugh...this is gonna suck.

Listening to audio files has been historically as safe as reading books for R Cell, so they dive right in. River has reflux, Reuben has rambles, the radio reports and…the ritual is ready? R.I.P. Rental.

It’s finally the later when things get explained, as Ross and Regan fill their teammates in on a little more of what they know. All the agents continue to encounter their least favorite recurring Unnatural phenomenon as their exploration and investigation seem to trickle deeper down the conspiracy pipeline.

A “friend” from the past is more blast than one agent can handle as the team gets the lowdown on lore from some locals. Thing were strange around here the last time, and none of the new information is making anyone feel any easier about the area…

Everything old is new again, and some of the agents of R Cell are less than thrilled when their latest mission points them back to a previous incident they’d rather have left in their past. Remember: stop the incursion, obscure the incursion and your involvement, and save lives. (That’s number one, which is why we put it last.)

That was weirdly public...I would have expected a dead drop or something?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Time might heal all wounds, but that doesn't mean it won't leave a few scars behind too.

Sometimes, usually, there is no perfect ending in this kind of work. There is only hoping the right sacrifices were made, and that the light shines a little longer because of it.

Reuniting the team might mean opening doors that were better left closed, both literally and metaphysically. Still, when one of the agents has always been a little out of time, R Cell was going to have to face the risk sooner and later.

CW: Swarm/Bug sounds

One team member missing, the rest scrambling through the chaos of the church, and there's no more time to wait and see what unfolds. All the members of R Cell are jumping into action to finally get some answers, but some of those answers might come with greater repercussions than anyone expected.

CW: Gunshots

The clock is ticking fast on this investigation. Regan and Ross unlocked some "hot goss," but Rowan and Reuben still have shivers down their spines, while River resists a revelation none of R Cell was ready for...

The community outside Hourglass has been welcoming to the team...maybe too welcoming. Strange children, strange voices, and strange handshakes all suggest that there may be something deeply sinister brewing beneath the pleasant surface of this traditionalist mountain community. Can old friends and esoteric knowledge lead R Cell to some answers before they're in too deep?

A train ride through the mountains should have been simple after the "minor excitement" of the night before, but the team is more on edge than ever. Multiple agents suddenly had concerned calls from family, and after one too many strange sightings on the train, R Cell has to worry. Could the local cult-church-community actually be linked to a previous investigation? Or have so many past missions finally caught up that R Cell is just the convergence?

Fast action means fast results as R Cell quickly mobilizes to asses a possible threat to the teen streamer behind the viral video, but the team should know by now that no action goes unnoticed. It seems the threat might be both real and more dangerous that anticipated, and the unexpected appearance of someone from the team's past suggests something more sinister could be at work in Hourglass.

The split team has made some progress in getting a better picture of this strange local church community, even if cocktails and libraries were both involved. But just before they can start to really dig in to assess these findings, a worrying new video crosses their feeds that needs immediate action.

Hidden writing and disappearing books aren't a comforting start to the investigation, but at least the team has new leads to follow as they try to get back to the two most urgent questions: what happened to the woman in that viral video, and why do they need to get involved?

The agents arrive in Hourglass, brimming with even more strange new concerns after their road-trip research. With so many possible leads to investigate, and still very little direction from above on what they're looking for, it's time to start asking questions.

Snacks are packed, cell phones are charged, and it's time for a road trip! The agents are on their way to Oregon, hoping that some research along the way will simply lead them to misguided influencers before they have to deal with something more concerning.

Even as things change, they remain the same. While day jobs shift in complex new ways, a concerning viral video demands the same attention that R Cell has always been asked for, and the agents must answer the call to investigate.

At this point it's out, it's everywhere; people have copies, people have it downloaded...

Just a brief update from The Redacted Reports team about what's currently in the works.

On March 19th, 2025, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler beamed in remotely from their respective undisclosed locations to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 8, known as Operation Blue Blood. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman) and with a strong assist from Agent Herald, they delved into their character arcs as agents, the challenges of splitting the party, and even did their colors. Come and join the conversation.

It’s important not to get lost in the work, so between missions the agents make sure to forge new connections, hone new skills and…visit St. Joseph’s?

Closing another case doesn’t guarantee closure for the team. Choices made, or avoided, can hang heavy over the agents, so the work they do after the reports are filed is sometimes just as important.

The immediate threat has been contained, but that doesn’t mean the mission is over. Someone else has been operating behind the scenes, and if there’s one thing R Cell isn’t good at, it’s letting things go.

Voices from the past converge on the present as both halves of R Cell finally come face to face with what they’ve been hunting. Lights blaze, gunshots ring, and the agents are ready to end this mission…even if it means not everyone gets out.

Glowing blue creatures and tiny blue crystals surround R Cell as the two teams continue their split-party investigation. Pieces of the Montana puzzle fall into place, including a surprising connection to an unexpected previous mission, while the Utah team forges ahead to an even more horrifying discovery.

Content Warnings:

Gunshot (1:01:58)

The party may be split, but the investigations remain connected as R Cell traces the past to the present with a trail of mysterious blue goo. As their time continues to dwindle, the agents race to complete the puzzle before so many other interested parties converge to both take over and cover up what information remains.

Content Warnings:

Traffic Noises (Honking) (2:43 - 6:24, 10:51 - 12:55)

Siren (15:05)

The last thing the agents want is attention from any of the “other guys,” but alarms have been raised higher up than even members of R Cell can reach. With the clock swiftly ticking on how long they can keep investigating, a dangerous decision is made: R Cell splits the party, hoping both Utah and Montana reveal answers quickly.

Traffic Noises (Honking) (33:51 - 39:37, 45:00 - 46:01)

Sunlight is the best natural disinfectant, they say, and R Cell is certainly seeing what it can do. But when it comes to the Unnatural, even sunlight might not be enough to break through the shadows that are converging on this investigation.

The investigation is only getting more complicated, and more violent. Whatever is going on, someone or something wants to make sure no one gets any closer. Too bad that’s never stopped R Cell.

Content Warnings:

Medical alarms (1:04:30)

No amount of preparation will help R Cell deal with force majeure, but that’s a complication that’s going to have to wait. The immediate problems require a different R Cell specialty: a trip to the morgue

When the physical trail cools off, the digital trail heats up. Every new bit of information is adding up to a deeply concerning possibility, and after everything they’ve seen before, R Cell isn’t about to slow down the hunt until they have more answers.

Alarm clocks (47:10)

Strange animal activity seems to surround the crime scene radius, and the tracks that lead away suggest that something is on the move. Sometimes a classic door-to-door canvass is the fastest way to get answers, but it wouldn’t be an R Cell investigation if it didn’t raise more questions too.

Two dead bodies, a secret biohazard lab, and a lot of unsettling goo welcome the agents to the PNW. Preliminary investigations aren’t any more reassuring, as R cell begins to construct an unsettling narrative of what may have taken place…and uncover a small but concerning link to a previous investigation.

Cowboys are known to head in guns ablazin’, but R Cell is more research than rancheros these days. Still, it’s unnerving when a certain group chat alerts the team to a new mission before the official call comes in. Time to saddle up and see what mysteries await in the Pacific Northwest.

I feel like there might be some more explaining to be done...

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…

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.
