Green Box: Room 23, Leafy Brook motel - Columbus, Ohio

This Green Box is more a Green Room, located in room 23 of the Leafy Brook motel in Columbus, Ohio.

The motel is known in the area for it's hourly room rates andextensive in-room adult cable. It consists of three single-story buildings of concrete block construction. Windows are impact resistant security glass, and doors are fitted with cast iron screen doors fitted with medico locks in a steel frame.

Each room is sparsely furnished in a faded 1970's style. Chairs and tables appear to have been purchased as surplus from local businesses, and are of flimsy construction. Beds are a thin mattress with heavily bleached sheets and thin blankets on a wooden box.



A husband-wife couple manages the motel and performs day to day maintenance. They are aware that room 23 is unusual, but are incurious. They are under the belief that the owner of the motel, Midori Holdings, is a front for the Yamaguchi-gumi, a Yakuza clan.
They live rent-free in their private quarters in the motel, and are reasonably well paid.

Access to the green box is two part, first the Agents must make contact with local friendly Judith Prisk, who will brush pass a key to the Agent in a local book store ( provided she has been notified of their coming in advance ). Then the Agents precede to the motel, and request room 23.

There may be some wait, usually less than an hour. Room 23 is rented like any other room.

Judith Prisk, local friendly, restocks the Green Box from time to time. She has also dealt with one individual who asked for room 23 specifically, killing him with an injection of nearly pure cocaine. The death was ruled an accidental overdose.

The gear in the Green Box is secured in the wooden box under the mattress; removing the plywood from under the mattress reveals a lock box, containing the list below.

2 Glock 21 .45 ACP self-load pistols. [1]
-5 13 round magazines.
-59 rounds .45 ACP HydraShock ammunition.

1 HK UMP .45 ACP Submachine gun. [1]
-Silencer. [1]
-Forward hand grip.
-Squeeze activated surefire tactical light.
-1x Aimpoint red-dot scope. [2]
-7 25 round magazines.
-162 rounds .45 ACP HydraShock ammunition.

2 Remington 870 12 gauge pump shotguns with 20" rifled deer slug barrels. [3]
-30 rounds (6 boxes) 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot

2 Browning HP-35 9mm self-load pistols [3]
-6 13 round magazines.
-200 rounds (4 boxes) 9mm FMJ ammunition

1 First Aid kit.
-in addition to the usual items, this kit contains three envelopes of QuickClot and a small bottle of 8 pills. The pills are percocet narcotic pain relievers.

1 bag of seven zip-tie handcuffs.

Load bearing equipment
-One belt with a six round magazine pouch for the UMP on the left, a holster for a Glock 21 with dual magazine pouch on the right. The thigh straps have been cut, and there is blood splatter on the material.

A wad of cash, totaling $217 in assorted bills.

7 Mainstay brand survival rations
-Each foil wrapped envelope contains what is charitably described as lemon flavored cookie dough, and provides 3600 calories.

1 bottle of over the counter multivitamin pills, unopened.

1 box of non-sterile surgical gloves, unopened.

[1] These items, while possessing makers marks and model numbers, do not have serial numbers. It's not that the serial numbers were removed, they appear to have never been marked. A successful Law or Firearms roll indicates this is illegal.

[2] Red-dot scopes add %20 of the shooters skill to their firearms roll. For instance, a player with RIfle %45 uses a carbine with an red-dot scope. His skill is now %54, not %65.

[3] A trace of the serial numbers on these weapons reveals that they were purchased at a local gun shop by a Edgar Pierson. Edgar is a retired FBI agent who died two years ago in Cleveland of a heart attack. The weapons were purchased 7 months ago.

Comments:

Any time you run into a weapon without any serial numbers, it is a sure bet that it came from a SpecOp group like Delta, SF, SAS or someone like Mj-12 where if they opertives were killed and the weapons recovered ther could be one way the weapons could be traced to any grovernment or the opertives could be labled as working for any grovernment. The idea is the Glock's and the UMP were captured from dead MJ12 operatives, although obviously new users of the green box won't know that. They might figure it out from the load bearing equipment and partially used magazines, but not necessarily.

For additional keeper sadism, both the Glock and the UMP could have RFID chips in the grip which return only a 8 digit number. Not useful for tracking the weapons down remotely, but if they were recovered they'd be easily identified by MJ12.

The Browning High Power, model 1935 is the same thing as a Browning HP-35.

The Glocks and the UMP are without serial numbers, but the Brownings and the Shotguns were purchased locally (and thus have serial numbers ).

I like to think of equipment as telling a story; almost another NPC.

MJ12: Brutal, well funded and subtle as a chainsaw. The field operatives come from US Specops, which has a affinity for the .45 ACP cartridge. Their gear reflects that.

DG: Limited resources, always struggling and keeping to the shadows. Civilian weapons purchased with a fake id are far less traceable than stolen munitions from a government arsenal, and likely easier to acquire.

The choice of weapons (Browning / shotgun) is to indicate an old-school cop attitude, rather than, say, the attitude of a recent Iraq war veteran.

As noted on the DG list, Judith Prisk isn't strictly necessary. If omitted, then the husband/ wife couple would periodicaly restock the room.

I originally envisioned them as relative innocents; something like recovering drug addicts and/ or people who'd suffered economically ( layed off from a manufactoring job, say ). They're not dumb; they know the hot sheet hotel is owned by not nice people, but they need the money and the place to stay. They're willing to accept the offered explenation and since they're not asked to do much they can live with themselves.

Judith Prisk could then be a local Agent or Friendly alerted by the hotel staff. I envisoned her having a chat with the curious individual and mocking up a suicide.
