Summary
A reformed Church of Starry Wisdom commandeered a quicksilver photo of the stars, the void, the truth
They would seek to open a gate to that which must not be seen, and those who first tried could not stop them.
Left with no other option and limited time, they reached out to the Shadowhaven, so that these foul magic could be unmade before that work was complete.
Background
A quicksilver photograph was taken by an orbiting satellite some time prior, but the equipment was compromised somehow and its contents left to the ocean, the likely culprits sailing out to claim their prize and begin enacting their plan.
This group was the reformed Church of Starry Wisdom, an occult sect that had reconstituted under the leadership of a former astronaut who went by Bowan. This astronaut was actually the first aware to go into space! To say he was forever changed by the experience would be an understatement. Whatever he saw in those stars, whatever dark truth revealed itself to him in that moment, it guides his much more powerful magic now as he leads the Church into a scheme to open up a gateway to Yog-Sothoth. To do so, they planned on taking the quicksilver photograph they stole into a former historical building in Providence and using its power in a ritual to open the path.
Delta Green noticed this activity and sent a team of four agents in to investigate, and while they managed to track down the place and noticed the anomaly of the terrain inside (a displacement alchera warping the historic home into a labyrinth of corridors), but unfortunately it seems the Church was ready for them, and Delta Green lost contact to what they assumed was a matter of mental control.
Agent Anderson was left with a choice: send in another one of her teams, or escalate and call in freelancers who could handle the situation. Hopefully. And, with time being of the essence, she decided to escalate things before the matter got truly out of hand.
