Chapter 8: Project Delphi

Operation Watchtower is set in the wake of 9/11. Follow Nicholas Grayson, a haunted FBI agent; Belle Flower, a runaway from a family of circus freaks; and Senator Bryce Wexley, a man replaced by a thing that wears his face. What begins as investigation becomes revelation. What is known cannot be unmade.

Nicholas Grayson, a haunted ex-Marine, is inducted into Project Delphi—a covert program dismantling identity through psychological warfare, sensory deprivation, and entheogenic ritual. He descends through layers of memory, trauma, and altered consciousness, encountering shadowy figures, ghostly visitations, and the monstrous feminine. As reality unravels, he glimpses a deeper truth: the soul beyond narrative. But what remains when the “I” dissolves? Only the thing that watches.

WARNING

This podcast contains mature themes including psychological trauma, violence, religious extremism, suicide, body horror, and the breakdown of reality. It explores conspiracies, real historical tragedies, and occult imagery rooted in the horror role-playing game Kult: Divinity Lost. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Nothing in Operation Watchtower is suitable for children. Some content may be distressing for survivors of abuse, veterans, and those sensitive to depictions of state violence or ritualistic harm.

If you feel unsafe or overwhelmed at any point, we encourage you to pause, breathe, and return when you’re ready. Or not at all.

Keep yourself warm on the longest night and the last of the light. Wishing you a Winter Solstice that don’t freeze the soul, a Hanukkah that still burns bright, a Christmas with some mercy left in it, a proud Heri za Kwanzaa, a Boxing Day with a little luck, and a New Year that maybe lets us walk on a while longer.

Tip your hat to the dusk, let the false sky unwind. Every goodbye’s just a crack in the mind. If there’s a home past the dark, it ain’t here and it ain’t true. So ride on through the shadow. Till the shadow rides you.
