==Summary==
Today starts normally enough for three agents of the newly formed Department of Homeland Security Agency. It is late October; Halloween to be exact, but there’ll be little fun and games for the trio. On route to a national conference, where some of the most knowledgeable people in the country would be holding seminars on everything from foreign cultures, terrorist funding and the latest in non-lethal submission techniques, the phone rings.

Michael P. Jackson, the assistant secretary of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), who identifies himself with a confirmation code. "Gentlemen, it seems you won’t be going to your conference after all. A situation has arisen and as of now you are all being assigned to an operation that is vital to national security. You are to immediately proceed to the GPS coordinates I am sending you; there you’ll meet two operatives. You are assigned to them until further notice; assist them in any way possible. They have full authority concerning this operation. This operation is classified and I cannot stress that strongly enough. The team leader will brief you all as soon as you arrive at the rendezvous point. Good luck gentlemen, make DHS proud."

-Setting:  Modern era ('newly-formed Department of Homeland Security' implies year 2002 or shortly afterward), in 'Anytown' USA, with references to 'Voodoo' perhaps implying a town in or near Louisiana (could probably be reset elsewhere with minimal trouble, though; for example, the "newly-formed DHS" could be changed to the 'newly-formed FBI' to set it in the 1930's USA, or to the Bureau of Investigation in the Classic setting).  The 1970's and 1980's would seem like a prime candidate for an alternate era to set this scenario in, as that would have been the height of the poisoned-candy legend and the 'Satanic Panic' that this scenario seems to draw from.
+Setting:  Place is 'Anytown' USA, with references to 'Voodoo' perhaps implying a town in or near Louisiana (could probably be reset elsewhere with minimal trouble, though; for example, the 'Voodoo' element is indistinguishable from generic Satanism or Mythos cult activity).  Time is the modern era ('newly-formed Department of Homeland Security' implies year 2002 or shortly afterward), but the scenario could be reset with some work to a different era (the "newly-formed DHS" could be changed to the 'newly-formed FBI' to set it in the 1930's USA, or to the Bureau of Investigation in the Classic setting. The 1970's and 1980's would seem like a prime candidate for an alternate era to set this scenario in, as that would have been the height of the poisoned-candy legend and the 'Satanic Panic' that this scenario seems to draw from.)
 Special Notes:  with a plot referencing child molestation, the poisoned-Halloween-candy urban legend, and the unfortunate implications in referring to the cultist's religion as 'Voodoo', some gaming groups may find this scenario distasteful.  It seems easy to change the villain to a generic Satanist or Mythos cultist, which may avert problems with identifying his bizarre religion as 'Voodoo' (a real-life religion which apparently does not even closely resemble 'Hollywood Voodoo'!)
