The reality is gone, but the evidence isn't. MASTICATE works the aftermath — what was left behind, what it means, and what it points toward. The hardware in Audra Powell's server tells a story. One that ties back to MASTICATE'S past operations. The kind of connection that makes the work feel smaller and the threat feel larger. Frank makes a promise to SA Fallon Taylor. There's only one good lead left: Robert Wallace.

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.

W-Cell splits up to hunt Sweetness at both ends: one team holds the line in Tampa while the other races to Chicago to confront the broken woman behind it all. The disappearances are spreading, and whatever is reaching through the mirrors is getting closer every night. There are no easy answers, and every delay costs another life. Somewhere between grief, desperation, and the unnatural, something has gone terribly wrong.

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?

Delta Green doesn’t know where the apocalypse is going to start. Only that it’s never far away.

So when a house in Florida hits the local news with restricted symbology carved into the front door, W-Cell gets the call.

The police made a surface-level pass. Maybe it’s vandalism. Maybe it’s a hate crime.

Now W-Cell has to decide if the symbol cut into yellow paint is a threat.

They hope it’s nothing.

It never is.

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.

The case spreads outward into compartments that don’t share notes. McCarter gets the green light to try something ambitious. In a small New York office, one of them crosses a threshold the others don’t see.

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.

Bradley McKay lived at Cornell for over a year, and somehow left almost no trace of it. No one remembers him clearly, no records quite line up, and the months before his death blur into administrative noise. As MASTICATE inventories phones, laptops, and half-remembered conversations, a pattern emerges: a life that dwindled to almost nothing—followed by an act of violence no one can ignore.

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.
