Session 21 - A Social Encounter....HERASY

We continued our mandatory training. This time, we were going to try our hand at social situations.

The scenario was a fancy dinner party. Naturally we wouldn’t be “allowed” to have weapons or equipment on us, so if we wanted to take stuff in we would have to smuggle it in. We had the group aim of finding out as much about every guest as we could, in particular their names and occupations, but we would all also have a hidden mission to complete. We couldn’t directly tell the others what our mission was, but we could use them to help us as needed.

Part 1, classy entrances

We roll initiative and approach the door:

First, Yolan in his guild issued dress shirt, approaches the door. He hands over his sword but not the dagger he has concealed on himself. He gets himself announced as “Sir Yolan”.

Then I (Jaune) follow after him, dressed in a suitably fastionable outfit I had pre-prepared for parties like this. The guard accept my Kurisama, but is completely unable to find the two wrist-mounted spring blades, the two masterwork daggers, the 20 shuriken or the wands of cure light wounds, break, obscuring mist and message I have hidden on myself. I then enter the room as “Lord Dupre” and set off to mingle.

Telon decides the only extras he needs are a scarf and gloves to use his oracle abilities on, and tells the doorman just to introduce him as Telon.

draspher follows after, choosing to go in a outfit generated by his hat (currently in the form of a hairclip) of disguise. He tells the doorman to introduce him as “marques john Vernon the second”. The guard just gives him a stern glare and tells him to introduce himself properly, so he goes for john Vernon.

Ocelot comes in a tuxedo, and decides to take his revolver with him. Unfortunatly the massive bulge in his trousers gives him away. Just as the doorman takes it and puts it to one side, he comes up with a plan. He takes one of the spare bullets and flics it behind him. The doorman goes to investigate while immediately grabs the gun, shoves it back in his pocket then quickly goes into the room, introducing himself by shouting at the top of his lungs “WHATS UP B####ES!

Vex has had to abandon her usual armour, and so has chosen to wear the Chinese silk dress given to her buy the guild. Unwilling to part with her weapons, immediately realises the opportunity Ocelot has given her and charges into the room as fast as her high heels will let her. She then immediately barrels to the closest table and dives underneath the tablecloth to hide her weapons, surprising the hell out of the guest and waiter situated at that table.

We all look around the room. In one corner is the table vex dived under with one guy in military uniform and a waitor. At the other corner is a table where two women are sitting, one in military uniform. To the far side is a buffet table where a goblin is piling a plate high with food. Around the centre of the room, there are a few groups, one man with a woman, two men together and another group of two men but one is in a military outfit.

Part 2, mingling

We all split off and do our own thing:

Telon immediately goes to talk to the two women. They are hanging off each other, and the one in military uniforms seems to be hen-pecked by the other. Telon introduces himself, talking and signing at the same time to explain he’d deaf. The non-military woman gets excited at this, explaining that she knows some sign language, and despite Telons reassurances that it’s not necessary she insists on signing out a quick greeting of “How are You?” in only mostly correct signs. After reassurance that, as a training exercise, he didn’t need to ask about the event starts to get to know them. He finds out that there General Paula Star and Linda.

Meanwhile, draspher makes his way over to a table and asks what’s going on. The two stare incredulously at him, and ask him what on earth the orc is doing diving under there table. He cheerful responds he has no idea (at this, the GM gets incredibly frustrated he missed an opportunity to fix things with his massive bluff skill). He then starts asking the one in military uniform about his career, making up a story that his farther sent him to the party to learn some things from the people there. At drasphers request, the man mention that Silvester must have sent him, which draspher immediately asks “who do you mean by Silvester”

GM – [angry/irritated] I don’t know, you tell me

(To clarify, Silvester is drasphers adopted father, who faked his death and is one of the people who frequently pops up in the side stories alongside the guild master. This was a part of the epic backstory draspher had written up, but he had neglected to tell anyone it aside from me. So, the GM dropping a bombshell that his dad might still be alive would be fine, if he had any idea what he was talking about in the slightest.)

While he’s asking this, he spots the waiter starting to lift up the tablecloth to look at vex, so he jumps to look himself and says he sees nothing, and manages to roll a draspher on bluff. Although he failed to convince them that they didn’t see a half orc in a dress dive under there table, they are convinced that the man standing in front of them is a compete moron.

Vex finally comes out from under the table (having hid her weapons), turns to the waiter looking incredulously at her and pipes up that she’s looking for her master. (side note, this was a BRILLIANT bluff and took everyone at the table completely by surprise. This was a welcome breath of fresh air considering we had been forced to listen to drasphers horrible attempts up until this point). The waiter then points her towards the man and woman, saying “Steven” is her guy. She quickly signs at draspher to look after her stuff under the table, then saunters over to the pair. draspher continues chatting with the military man:

Guy – you’re a caster aren’t you draspher – how did you know? Guy – your all the same, all intellect no common sense.

Vex, meanwhile, makes it to the two she was pointed too. Our jaws all hit the floors as Vex starts seducing the man, making her self out to be a high-class prostitute. Our reactions are mixed, some laughing, some ridiculing her for it, me personally I was crying on the inside that our group had turned the lawful good, brave, noble paladin into a whore, and that we were collectively horrible people. It was like watching superman illicit himself for sex with Lex Luthor. It’s made even worse when it becomes clear that “Krystal” is his slave, hence why Vex was sent his way when asking about her “master”, when he sends her to get some drinks while he talks prices with the captivating half-orc in silk.

While Vex was whoring herself out, Ocelot was attempting a similar course of action. He makes his way to where Telon and the two ladies are talking, playing up the “rich playboy” angle he’s been working and tries to get the group to have a drink with him. No-one seem to be impressed by him, General Star even less so when he puts an arm around her as he offers to be her drinking buddy. It takes every bit of willpower she has not to break ocelots arm. She slowly, but with a great deal of power behind it, removes it and inform him that neither her nor her fiancé wish to be “drinking buddies” with him, so would he kindly leave. He leaves in a huff, saying he’ll find someone else to drink with. Despite appearances though, he did exactly as intend to, and as general stars settles down after that interruption, she never noticed that the holster at her side is no longer empty, nor that the bulge that Ocelot entered the room with is now gone.

Yolan meanwhile starts to make a few friends himself. He goes over to a waiter and a guest and starts to make small talk. They get to talking and he discovers that he’s an arms dealer, so he makes up a story about how he’s an underwear salesman, looking for contacts. He obliges, pointing out Steven talking to Vex, and calling over another man “Drax” over to chat. Drax comes over, a warm smile on his face and ready to chat about his trade as a traveling salesman, with several warehouses. Unfortunately, his target happens to be Yolan, an inquisitor who can detect lies. She wastes now time on calling out Drax to be a liar and a poor business man, and the guy “Flounces” off before he could insulted even more without being able to make a case for himself. Not quite sure how to take that, the arms dealer introduces himself as Conrad.

Yolans treatment of Drax plays right into my hands, as I go over and ask him what happened. When I hear what happened, he declares that Yolan had insulted him by calling him a liar, so I comfort the man with a natural 20. He appreciates my words and we get to talking. We are both delighted to find the other is someone who “appreciates” the art of gaining “contacts”, inviting me for a private chat at a later point. While this was going on, the third member of our group is shaking his head in exasperation as our increasingly transparent talk of black market dealings. It turns out Drax is an underground merchant, and a “Fixer”, while the other is his lawyer, and is not amused at his clients once again getting mixed up in this kind of stuff. This perks my interest, and I mention I could use his services later. This actually unnerves the guy, and he leans in to whisper:

Drax – you do remember this is a test? Jaune – do you?

Seeing this cue, I turn the conversation to the topic of our other guests, finding out that three people are military types (the general, the arm dealer and the poor guy talking to draspher) and the goblin is actually lord Forethought.

Part 3, advancing goals

Yolan talks with the general and starts asking about military contacts. He explains that he and his sister are part of an order that specialises in training recruits for combat, and he came to this party with the hope of securing a contract for purchasing new equipment for it. The good general points him to the arms dealer and he excuses himself to talk with him.

draspher continues chatting with the military figure, who is getting increasingly annoyed as he writes notes on a sheet of paper. He suggests that draspher goes find someone else to talk to:

draspher – but I like talking to you guy – Your really as dumb as HE says you are, aren’t you draspher – no, I’m not dumb, I’m… guy – go away draspher

he leaves dejectedly, and I happen to look over and realise that he’s been talking to ninja-san this entire time:

Jaune – hey Vex Vex – Yeah? Jaune – you realise that this means that you came into the room, charged and dived under the desk where ninja-san, aka the examiner marking us, hid your weapons right in front of him before you got out and immediately went to go solicit yourself for sex

He makes his way over to where Yolan and Conrad are chatting (Yolan spotting him and warning Conrad not to trust him) and gets to chatting with the arms dealer. Draspher shows remarkable interest in what goods he has for sale. Just then, Ocelot shouts out across the room, asking for a drinking buddy, and I seize my chance to grab him for help with the next part of my plan.

Before I get a chance to go over, Ocelot overhears the doorman asking where “he” went. He quickly goes over and explains that since he ran off, he took the liberty of introducing himself. Waving of the reproaches about why he can’t do that, he asks if his gun was put away safely, he’ll want it back later. Of course, he is “horrified” to discover that it has gone missing, and insists the guests are searched before they leave. He saunters back into the room, quite please with himself before I grab him and start taking him to the other side of the room. I point out the goblin with the plate of food and tell him I need him to get close with him. As in physical close, handsy but not to actually grope him.

Steven lets Vex know that they can go get it on, he just needs to collect “his girl” so she doesn’t try to run off while there busy. Vex quickly sticks her head into Yolan and drasphers group, and quickly signs to them that her weapons are under the table before going back to wait. Just as she’s leaving, Yolan spots something by the buffet table, and quickly moves to it. What Yolan had seen was someone messing with the food on the table. He immediately confronts him, demanding to know what he was doing. When faced with nothing but lies, he decides to show how serious he is, drawing his hidden dagger. The other man panics, pushing Yolan into the goblin Lord Forethought, and dashes to the other side of the table, but Yolan uses an Unbreakable Gaze spell to stop him going too far. The poor goblin is helped back onto his feet and cleaned up by two guests who just so happened to come up at that moments. They try their best to clean him up and ask him what happened, and upon seeing his forlorn look at what remains of his plate of food over the floor, one even helping make a new plate of food. He never notices as I hide the necklace I stole of him into a sleeve while I get another shrimp puff for the plate. Ocelot meanwhile is happy he’s now found a drinking partner and happily downs a drink with him.

Telon meanwhile makes his way to the Arms dealer. They quickly hit it off, Telons interest in weapons for the monastery is just the kind of deal the arms-dealer was hoping to get tonight. With a promise of talking in the future about details of the deal, he leaves briefly to try and get something from the buffet table. draspher follows but a sense motive check makes him realise that Conrad has noticed that draspher doesn’t really care about his trade and is politely tuning him out so he can focus on the person who does, so he wanders off disappointed.

drasphers player admits he has no idea on how to accomplish his mission, in particular he has no idea how to find the person in character. Luckily, he runs into Jaune as he’s leaving Ocelot and Forethought at the buffet table. draspher asks me if I’ve seen anyone “suspicious” at the party. I ask him to confirm what kind of suspicious he’s on about, and he elaborates a con-artist and I point him towards Drax.

Meanwhile Steven has made his way back to Vex, and the two sneak out the back past the buffet table. Vex then sneaks back into the room, or at least attempts to but rolls a 4, fortunately with everything that was going on no-one notices or cares. She quickly finds Krystal, telling her “her master needs her” and brings her round back:

Vex – I have done this for you

She then shows her Stephens unconscious body, and gives her a chance to run for freedom. She leaves, but not before thanking her in a tearful hug. It turns out this was Vex’s mission, and despite all the crap we gave her about her approach, she pulled it off masterfully.

Back with the disaster in progress Yolan shouts out a warning about the food being poisoned. Ocelot feels a wave of nausea overcome him from the drugged champagne he’s been chugging and ends up throwing up all over poor Lord Forethought. He realises that Telon won’t be able to hear his cries for help, so he instead uses dimensional door to jump across the room to him, grab him the jump back.

The commotion has attracted the rest of the room to try and see what’s going on. I, like any good citizen, I run to get the guards bumping into a particular military figure as I try to get through the crowd. Ocelot starts fuming, saying that if I stole his gun back and drilled him over he won’t be happy. draspher meanwhile has finally started chatting with Drax, and has started masterfully interrogating him about his access to poisons, or at least he is in his mind. What actually happens is that he gives a performance so surpisous it’s essentially like looking at an undercover rookie cop ask someone if they know where “them hip and cool drugs be at yo yo my man”. It’s also a bit unnerving this idiot starts asking him about poisons the exact time someone cries out the food has been poisoned, even worse when he responds with regret that he didn’t have anything to do with that.

draspher starts this long winded talk about how he wants poison to kill his dad for power, and anyone who helps him now would be rewarded later, *wink* *wink* ;o. (It’s at this point I suddenly realise that draspher and Talon have an increadably similar way of talking but they take it in opposite directions. They both have this habit of making long rambling sentences, but where talon rambles to a definitive point and its sort of endearing, draspher will go off on odd tangents until the original point is either confused or lost entirely). Drax offers to take him round to his cart to show him some of his wares, but something about a known conman asking if you want to come see inside his van really doesn’t sit well with draspher, so he turns him down (insulting Drax in the process) and offers him his card, produced with prestidigitation. Drax hands it back, asking why he handed him a card with “Fumbles” written on it.

Back at the incident, Ocelot has managed to control his bowls to the point he’s not puking anymore, although Lord Forethought will never look at pea soup the same way again. Vex runs across the room to where she hid her swords. She doesn’t get to them before the guards come in, seeing what all the noise is about. I tell them that someone has poisoned the food and they demand everyone in the room freeze. The poisoner immediately surrenders, things completely out of his control and his original plan, while Ocelot demands everyone is searched for his stolen gun. Everyone is searched and once again, they completely fail to find a single piece of equipment hidden on my person, but a certain revolver and Lord Forethoughts bejewelled amulet of natural armour is found on a certain General Star and she is taken away to the prison.

Part 4, post mission synopsis

We take the time to reflect on the mission and our jobs:

Ocelot and I both had the same mission of planting evidence of a theft on the general, although Ocelot had to let the guards know about it as well. I stole an amulet off Lord Forethought and planted it on her when I “accidentally” bumped into her when I was getting the guards, while Ocelot put his pistol in her holster during the first part of the party. What’s more, while I kept a low profile to make my mission more likely to work, Ocelot had gone full Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne to act as a cover and distraction for the rest of the team. We had both accomplished our missions successfully

Vex had to free a slave from the slave owner. Despite a rocky start with diving under the table, she actually did really well and impressed Ninja-San (along with everyone at the table)

Telon had to find the arms dealer and positively influence him, and the story of buying weapons for the monastery worked very well

Yolan had to stop the assassination attempt quietly, but his rash actions in confronting him with force led the mission to spiral out of control. Still, it was mostly the assassins fault that happened, and he still prevented anyone from dying so he got a low passing grade

draspher didn’t do too well. His mission was to con the conman. Firstly, he took to long wasting time before finding his target. Secondly, he decided to go with “the Spanish prisoner” trick (AKA the Nigerian prince scam, give me something now and I’ll make you rich later) to try and trick him out of a bottle of poison. While it might have worked, the problem was he ran out of time when the guards came in to run it fully. He had been given that mission to use his amazingly high bluff skill, but his lack of IRL ability to bluff or lie held him back. He had failed his mission.

We had managed to find out almost everyone’s names in the process of the mission. The only ones we were missing were the lawyer, ninja-san AKA the spymaster (but that would have been a really hard one to get) and the assassin.

This exercise had a couple of aims to it though. The main aim of this was a trust exercise. We had our own agendas, but we could use the others to help us, as best demonstrated when I got Ocelot to help me pick-pocket the noble. This approach would mean that we’d be more willing to help each other without constantly questioning the other motives.

The other aim was to see how we’d do in a social situation, and we actually did quite well. So much so the Guild master thinks we’re ready for the next mission.

Timed "died" in training – 4, Yolan at the start before getting healed, draspher, Telon, vex

Times yelled at – 3, at the guild, ninja-san, ninja-san to draspher during the party

Jaunes brave advances towards future victory – 10, when jess attacked in the night, the barn, the demons, the fear from Anubis and running from the dust jackal, the fight in the Whitewater compound both at the start and at the end (2), escaping the killer clockwork to talk down lady Ezrisha, at the end of the first training mission, going to get the guards rather than help with the poisoner

Times drilled over – 5.5, GM at the start of the training mission, ocelots silence spell, Telon not following ocelot, getting told the situation was FUBAR yet still getting told off for running, losing my bow in the fireball (guildmaster said I’d get a replacement, .5), draspher getting arguably the hardest/most obscure mission

MVP – Vex, that play was unexpected and ridiculed but she stuck to her guns and pulled it off beautifully

STONE: WHY I URGED TRUMP TO RELEASE JFK ASSASSINATION FILES

Documents reveal Deep State’s role in assassination

By Roger Stone

What the New York Times and the Washington Post both correctly report is that in a friendly phone call with president Donald Trump, I made the case for the release of 3100 still classified government files that address the assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy.

A 1994 law scheduled the release of the last batch of JFK assassination-related records for October 26 of this year. Under the act, only the president can delay the release for an additional 25 years.

The president, who was cheerful, upbeat and confident, is fully engaged in his effort to pass his tax reform package so he can turbocharge the economy. He listened politely to my pitch for transparency in the release of these files mandated by the US Congress in 1994. He asked a few pointed questions and told me he would review the matter.

I was optimistic. Only days previously I had been joined by my fellow New York Times best-selling author Gerald Posner, whose book Case Closed supports the deep flawed Warren Commission conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy and acted alone. My book The Man Who Killed Kennedy – The Case Against LBJ destroys the official narrative as it lays out how Vice President Lyndon Johnson, with the assistance of the Central Intelligence Agency, the mob and Big Texas Oil, orchestrated the murder of our 37th President.

We know that Lyndon Johnson’s “strong right arm” Bobby Baker, the Secretary of the Senate, told a Kennedy associate “John Kennedy will not live out his term and will die a violent death” during a freezing cold Inauguration Day blizzard in 1961.

We learned a great deal from the first tranche of documents that were declassified under the JFK Assassination Records Act of 1994 about the role of Lyndon Johnson in the events of November 22, 19, 3 as well as the actions of the CIA, major organized crime figures and even George H. W. Bush.

The documents released thus far under the Congressional act include a memo from FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to Pres. Johnson informing him that the KGB conducted their own independent investigation into the Kennedy assassination and concluded that LBJ was the mastermind. We also learned that French intelligence had informed Jacqueline Kennedy that Lyndon Johnson was the linchpin in the conspiracy which led to her husband’s death.

We discovered that in December of 1963, J. Edgar Hoover, then FBI Director, ordered the head of the FBI office in Dallas to “brief George Bush of the CIA regarding the activities of anti-Castro Cubans in the Dallas area,” which is curious because George Bush would testify under oath at his 1970s U.S. Senate confirmation hearings to be the Director of Central Intelligence that he never worked for the CIA prior to his appointment.

The documents already released under the process President Trump completed last week also revealed the record of a phone call placed by George H.W. Bush to the head of the FBI office in Houston only minutes after the Dallas shooting in which Bush went out of his way to establish an alibi claiming to be in Tyler, Texas, for a luncheon speech. He even urged the FBI to look into an active Young Republican in Harris County, James Parott, who Bush claimed he heard had threatened the president. When the FBI arrived at Parott’s home the bewildered young man was found in the back-yard painting “Bush for U.S. Senate” signs.

My White House sources told me that CIA director Mike Pompeo opposed the release of the classified JFK assassination material by President Trump. Now, the game of the Deep State boys will be to undermine the president’s order by redacting and withholding much of the material the president has ordered released. It is notable that the first tranche of documents released by the National Archives in July were so redacted and had so much material withheld on the basis of “national security” that they were worthless.

I will report to the American people if there is an effort to nullify the President’s bold decision through bureaucratic blackouts and blanket claims of “national security.”

It’s not surprising that they would try this ploy. The CIA has never been forthright about its ties to Lee Harvey Oswald and neither has the FBI. They both have much to hide.

Oswald appears to have been recruited by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) as a Marine recruit. Oswald missed qualifying in 1958, which means he was on a special assignment, almost certainly learning Russian at the military language school in Monterey, California.

Oswald was stationed at our most secure base at Atsugi, Japan, from which the U-2 overflights were being launched, which would not have happened had there been any question of his loyalty.

While there, Oswald contracted gonorrhoea, which was noted in his military service record as having occurred in the line of duty. (Some assignment!)

The Soviets knew the U-2 flights were taking place, but not the altitude at which they were flying and were unable to shoot them down. Oswald made a pseudo-defection at the behest of the CIA, even faking suicide to gain their attention. As a radar operator in Japan, he knew the altitudes and (presumably) provided that information to the Soviets.

Shortly before a planned summit between Eisenhower and Khrushchev, the Red leader accused the U.S. of spying on the Soviet Union, which Eisenhower denied. Khrushchev then produced the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, and parts of the plane, which led to the cancellation of the summit, increasing Cold War tensions instead of diminishing them.

Oswald, who had loudly defected, suddenly returned to the United States with the travel expenses for him and his wife paid for by the U.S. government, and despite the fact that Oswald had renounced his U.S. citizenship, it had never been formally revoked.

Returning to the U.S. with his new wife, the niece of a KGB colonel, he was greeted by a CIA-front organization and given money to relocate, where Marina landed in Dallas and Lee in New Orleans, where he was “sheep-dipped” (given a false persona) as a pro-Castro, communist sympathizer.

It is beyond dispute that Oswald was arrested in New Orleans handing out anti-Castro literature which is strange for a man who is described to us as an active communist. Once arrested Oswald placed his one allowed phone call to the head of the FBI bureau in New Orleans and was shortly thereafter released.

Without Oswald knowing he was being set up as the patsy, Ruth Paine, who had ties to the CIA, arranged for Oswald to obtain a position at the Texas School Book Depository just weeks before the motorcade.

At the time he was shot, he was working as informant #179 for the FBI and was being paid $200 per month right up to the time of the assassination.

That proof Oswald was working for the FBI as an informant was uncovered by Waggoner Carr, the Attorney General of Texas at the time. Carr, a conservative Democrat who had been a “Democrat for Nixon” in 1960 where he was aligned with Texas Democratic Governor Allen Shivers, who openly endorsed Nixon after Kennedy wrestled the Democratic nomination from LBJ. Nixon told me of Carr’s finding regarding Oswald.

That led to an emergency meeting of the Warren Commission, which delegated LBJ associate Leon Jaworski to investigate the claim. He would report that it was only a “false rumor” when it was actually true.

Which explains why the accused assassin of our 35th president’s W-2 forms were unavailable — until the CIA was able to fabricate replacements, which is one of its areas of specialization, i.e., the manufacturing of false documents.

The next dump of classified JFK documents included records from the most mysterious part of Oswald’s pre-assassination history, his alleged trip to Mexico City where he reportedly appeared at the Russian and Cuban Embassy demanding asylum and a visa. We have an actual recording of a phone conversation between FBI director Hoover and President Johnson in which Hoover tells the President that the man photographed and described in Mexico City does not look remotely like Oswald.

Philip Shenon, who has written a book about the assassination, said: “From the record we already have, we know he met there with Soviet spies and Cuban spies and other people who might have wanted to see Kennedy dead.” No, actually we only know a man claiming to be Oswald appeared in Mexico City.

We also know from the last release of JFK files that the Dallas police reported to the FBI that they had multiple calls from several air charter services at Love Field reporting that a man identified who himself as Lee Harvey Oswald had appeared and inquired about the availability of a chartered plane from Dallas to Mexico on November 22, 1963. In every case, the charter company employees shown a picture of Oswald insisted it was not the man who has visited their facility to inquire about charter service.

Regardless, a man claiming to be Oswald in Mexico City or inquiring about chartering a flight we are supposed to believe would be destined for Mexico but hijacked to Cuba would mean Oswald had a confederate thus a conspiracy took place.

Contents of the last batch of classified files pertaining to the murder oh Pres. John Fitzgerald Kennedy will be fascinating unless the mandarins in Langley withhold the truth from the American people yet again.

New Post has been published on Military Spouse

New Post has been published on http://militaryspouse.com/news/pediatric-cancer-military-families-search-for-answers/

Pediatric Cancer: Military Families Search for Answers

On Jan. 7th of this year, Amanda Whatley showed the world what childhood cancer looks like in a military family.

“My name is Amanda Whatley, and my husband is a United States Marine. From July 2007 through November 2010, we lived in the Laurel Bay Housing Community while he was a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) Parris Island in Beaufort, S.C.

Our daughter Katie has cancer…and actually, there are eight children who have been diagnosed with cancer in the last few years that also lived in the Laurel Bay Housing Community.”

Amanda, who received her daughter’s cancer diagnosis in January 2015, goes on to explain that the purpose of the video was to tell Katie’s story with the hope that it would be shared with other military families that had been stationed in the area.

Since this video hit the web, an additional five families have come forward with a connection, bringing the total to 13 and counting.

An Unexpected Connection

Melany Stawnyczyj’s 4-year-old son, Roman, was diagnosed with cancer in 2012. Her husband had also served as a drill instructor at MCRD Parris Island, from 2005-2008, and lived aboard Laurel Bay as well, where she and Amanda became fast friends. In fact, Melany and Amanda were actually pregnant with their children at the same time. Both families have since moved away from the Beaufort area, but in true military life fashion, their families have remained close.

When Roman was diagnosed, Amanda was of course saddened by this, and supported her surrogate mil-fam from afar. When she was faced with her own child’s diagnosis after an emergency surgery due to organ failure, Amanda had a very candid conversation with the ICU physician, telling him that they had a really good friend whose son has cancer and that made it easier to explain to Katie what was going on.

Upon learning that both women were pregnant at the same location and that both children were only a few weeks apart in age, the doctor urged Amanda to discuss this information with Katie’s oncology team because he didn’t think it was a coincidence.

More Families Come Forward

When Amanda and Melany discussed the potential connection between Roman and Katie’s cancers, the two quickly came to the determination that they needed to look deeper. Melany had been researching a potential correlation and found that there were underground storage tanks (UST) buried beneath the homes aboard Laurel Bay. These USTs were used to heat homes in the past, but have not been used in decades.

The tanks have leaked Benzene, a known cancer-causing agent, into the soil surrounding the homes they were meant to heat. Amanda explains in the video that the Benzene leak is “not a conspiracy theory; it is fact” since documents of these leaks can be found in a simple Google search, having been put out by the government. There are memos, PowerPoint presentations, environmental clean-up orders and even meeting minutes from state health agencies, all available on the internet.

Melany continued her research and found several other families whose children were diagnosed with cancer. She and Amanda decided it was time to take this information the Navy and the Marine Corps.

In March of 2015, there was a meeting between the families and base officials regarding the potential connection. The family made a request in that meeting, asking that the military notify current and past residents about the investigation into this issue. An agreement was made that there would be an investigation, but it would appear that little progress has been made since that meeting…until Amanda had learned that yet another child that had resided on Laurel Bay had received a cancer diagnosis.

Current Updates

The families had received monthly updates about the investigation since that March 2015 meeting, all of them saying that there was no new information and that the investigation was still ongoing.

Melany informed the investigation team’s point of contact about the new diagnosis, and it was his lack of response that threw Amanda over the edge. “He didn’t even really acknowledge that another child had just been diagnosed with cancer,” she said. That’s when she decided to make the YouTube video, which has been viewed more than 49,000 times.

The Concerned Military Families United By Pediatric Cancer is a Facebook page that was created by Melany in an effort to fill the gap of information and find ways of reaching out to current and past residents. “It’s a complete shame that we, the families suffering, are the ones who have done all the outreach and awareness,” Melany stated.

In the time since the video has been posted, this story has been featured on FOX, CBS, Yahoo, Military Times, USMCLife, The New York Daily, state and local news outlets and countless blogs across the country. There have been reports that British military officials have requested soil samples from the investigation as well, since they have military families living aboard installation housing in Beaufort.

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort leadership has responded to the media attention by holding two Townhall events and has since created a resource website. It was this public relations effort that led the Navy to put out guidance to military healthcare providers worldwide, making them aware of any current or former Laurel Bay residents seeking care.

Providers have been advised that physical exams for patients concerned about possible exposure to contaminated soil should focus their attention on the thyroid, lymph nodes, heart, lung and abdomen in order to establish a baseline of health.

The Bigger Picture

At this time the investigation is still ongoing, and base officials are reluctant to release all of the data as it begins to trickle in. “I have tried to avoid providing incomplete or inaccurate information, which could have caused speculation,” states the MCAS Commander, who also resides aboard Laurel Bay.

Although it is understandable that installation officials don’t want to create further speculation, the only way to truly eliminate that is to provide information as it filters in. Much of the information that is already available is enough to create confusion without clarification or additional context. People often rely on assumption to fill in the blanks if they aren’t able to view a situation in its entirety. But as Melany states, “We’re not scientists, we’re just trying to get information.”

She is requesting that the raw data be released as it is received by officials. While this would typically stray from normal procedures, there really is nothing “normal” about a situation like this…especially as it pertains to families who have since moved from the area to fulfill their obligations to the military.

“As military families, we move from duty station to duty station, complying with the military orders given. Our military families diagnosed with childhood cancer are like any other military family who move.” She goes on to add that reports to state health agencies are made only in the state where the diagnosis is received.

In this case, “South Carolina would not have counted each of our diagnoses because another state has claimed it. The state and federal organizations need to recognize and clarify this” when they don’t see an increase in the cancer rate for that area. “Reporting otherwise, is disservice to all military families,” Melany states.

I reached out to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding their role in identifying cancer clusters in a population that wasn’t stationary for very long. I wanted to know because my Marine family was also stationed in Beaufort and we lived aboard Laurel Bay as well….for EIGHT YEARS. In my inquiry, I posed the question:

“How does the CDC determine if there is an unusual spike or trend in a diagnosis based on a specific location when those individuals aren’t diagnosed until after a relocation? How can a correlation between hazardous contamination and subsequent cancer diagnosis (or cluster of diagnosis) be made if that population isn’t stationary long enough to determine a correlation?”

I received a fairly generic response that didn’t even address the mobility of the military community. They stated that state health agencies are the “first level of response,” meaning the states are responsible for identifying potential clusters and then follow up with the CDC. According to their response:

“A cancer cluster is a greater-than-expected number of cancer cases that occur:

A. Within a group of people; B. In a geographic area; or C. Over a period of time.”

If a diagnosis is only tracked in the state a person is diagnosed in, the potential cause could (and does) go unaddressed. The CDC, along with state health agencies, should start looking at different ways to track the health events that impact our community across the board.

As of today, even with the recent push of new information from base officials, there is still much confusion in the Laurel Bay Community. Residents have reported they will call one point of contact only to be referred to someone else, or their inquiries aren’t being addressed. Conflicting information is being given about specific resident addresses and some residents have reported never receiving information on their soil sample results…only to be told later that their levels were high and are still being investigated.

The entire purpose of this article and the goal of the families involved, is to promote awareness to those who have and do live aboard the installation. At this point all parties are cooperating with one another, but families are looking for more transparency in the process, to include notifying new residents so they are able to make informed decisions about their living arrangements. They would also like the option, depending on the circumstances, to be let out of their leases if contamination is found, and for investigation officials to have a more aggressive approach to outreach.

From the families involved and their perspectives, they just want answers and they want to inform others to make sure this doesn’t happen to other families. Melany and Amanda, as well as the other families, just want to make sure that other families don’t go through what they had to endure.because even ONE more cancer diagnosis is one too many.
