The Night Floors: Even if you leave this room...

 Here’s the thing: I almost guarantee you that this particular vignette has been done by somebody else, because it feels familiar - I’m probably plagiarizing without realizing it. If you happen to know where this shows up, let me know.

This is for the Delta Green scenario The Night Floors, available most recently in Impossible Landscapes.

This is something to spring on the characters when they leave the Night Floors to regroup or recuperate. They return to their homes, kiss their loved ones, shower up - but as they’re about to relax, they collectively get an urgent call to a downtown diner from their Handler; they need to be debriefed immediately. When they arrive, the Handler isn’t there. The only occupants of the diner are the waitress and a cook in the back who never seems to turn around as he works at the grill; a successful Notice roll reveals that her left arm is a prosthetic. A critical success reveals that all of her limbs are prosthetic, but move like real limbs; SAN loss 1/1d3. If asked, she says that she’s always been like that, but simply grunts and moves away if they press her for more answers.

A car screeches to a halt in front of the diner and bullets rip through the front windows. The waitress falls to the ground, one of her limbs skittering across the ground sounding like a wooden baseball bat. Stuffing leaks from her shattered head. The Agents can return fire if they want, but the bullets continue and intensify. The only escape is through the back door - make the Agents roll Dodge if they want to make a break for it.

When they go through the door, temporarily remove them from play. When the last goes through, the Agents find themselves back in the Night Floors, in a small private library whose books have all been completely pasted shut, page by page. The door is still open. If they go back through the door, the diner is still there, but the far wall is wooden panelling and both the cook and the waitress are wooden mannequins.

“Even if you leave this room, you can never leave this room.” - Room 1418

 SAN loss 1d4/1d6 - and the Agents will now have to contend with the knowledge that the Night Floors are no longer confined to the Macallistar building.
