The Rich Five aka The Kentucky Free State

[dragoon500ly]

Sometime in 1982, a Free State Movement intelligence officer was tracking down rumors of a special production run at the Heckler & Koch USA production facility. With an eye towards arranging a hijacking, this unknown man discovered the first link in a chain that would eventually lead to the discovery of the Morrow Project. By 1985, enough evidence of Project activities had been uncovered to give the FSM a rough idea of the purpose of the Project as well as a rough estimate of the Project’s scale. What the FSM uncovered convinced them that the Project would be the greatest threat to their “natural destiny.”

Since the end of the Final War, the Free State has invested countless hours of manpower to chase down any rumor of the Project. Whenever Project Teams are encountered, every possible effort is made to destroy them by any means necessary. Special manuals have been issued to key members of the Social Security Service and the Social Security Forces that cover what is known about the Morrow Project and its chilling intentions towards humanity.

The Morrow Project is the brainchild of two individuals, Bruce Edward Morrow, a wealthy and ruthless industrialist and his granddaughter Elizabeth Allison Morrow, a known sexual deviant and libertarian. These two individuals, loyal members of the New World Government movement, devised the Project as a means to overthrow the United States and seize control of the country as part of a devilish plot to destroy the Natural Aristocrats. To achieve this goal, the Project has recruited its members from the most dangerous levels of pre-war society; criminal elements such as known drug pushers, murders and rapists; homosexuals; left wing liberals favoring a pluralist, multiracial, egalitarian society and other such criminal scum. The Project has recruited heavily from the Black, Hispanic and Asian populations as well as a large selection of Whites whose political, religious or ethnic persuasions render them hostile to the ideals of the Free State. These individuals were then placed into special training camps, where they were carefully instructed in every aspect of terrorism and subversion and then brainwashed into subverting the natural order of things. The Project would, initially, make peaceful contact, conduct trade in scarce goods, set up schools and hospitals and proclaim to all that would hear that they are laboring “To Rebuild Society” and to “Liberate the Oppressed.” Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the Project would use brutally use every means at their disposal to destroy the Natural Aristocrats and the society that so many have worked so hard for so long to recreate. The Morrow Project has access to highly advanced technology that they have kept secret from pre-war society. This technology, had it been made available to the public, would have prevented the Final War. In short, every possible wrong of this post-war world is carefully laid on the doorstep of the Morrow Project.

The Free State regards the Morrow Project and their allies as “cold-hearted murders of our children!” The citizens of the Free State, almost from birth, have been carefully spoon-fed stories of Project atrocities. Any Project Team found within the borders of the Free State can expect to find every hand raised against them. Capture by the Free State begins a ruthless round of physical and chemical interrogation, a show trail complete with public confessions, public apologies and public executions. The Social Security Service’s Third Directorate, dresses up its provocateur squads in Morrow uniforms, operate Morrow equipment and commits its most ruthless and cold-bloodied acts of terror, all under the guise of the Morrow Project. The average Free State citizen is convinced that these “fiends incarnate” are ruthless, cold-blooded criminals dedicated to completely destroying everything that they hold dear.

With this background, the Free State is free to use any means to hunt down Project Teams. The vaguest hint of a Team conducting operations will bring SSS operatives to investigate. The Free State will commit large numbers of troops and equipment to hunt down and kill or capture Project members. Anyone who allies themselves with the Project can expect the same treatment. Project personnel can expect no mercy if they fall into the hands of the Free State. And for those who have allied themselves with the Project and somehow manage to survive being captured, life as an “Elsie” awaits.

Morrow Project Operational Region III which operates in the area covered by the North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisiana (east of the Mississippi River) has suffered heavy losses over the years since the Final War. It is currently estimated that over 83% of the teams assigned to Region III have killed or captured. Of the major installations in the Region, only the Zulu Foxtrot Regional Command Base and Supply Base Foxtrot have not been discovered.

Morrow Project Operational Region V which operates in the area covered by Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin has been equally hard hit. It is currently estimated that some 65% of the teams assigned to the region have been killed or captured, with Ohio being especially hard hit when the state command team OH-CC-01’s bolthole was discovered by SSS operatives and beached before the team could be awakened. Under brutal interrogation, the team leader was broken and gave up his command excess codes which resulted in the capture or destruction of every team and installation in Ohio as well as giving the locations of the Zulu Echo Command Base and Supply Base Echo. Supply Base Echo was captured intact while Zulu Echo was destroyed by its embedded team when they set off the self-destruct mechanism.
