Life imitates Delta Green at the Sunspot Solar Observatory.

It’s ironic. ‘Child porn’ is the go-to excuse that the Feds use all the time in conspiracy roleplaying games when the government wants to explain away an op: “A federal search warrant reveals that Sunspot Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography.” Nobody has any sympathy for the victim, nobody gets upset if the investigation isn’t as tight as it’s supposed to be, and nobody wants to look into the matter further.  From a gaming perspective, it’s perfect.

Mind you, I don’t believe that there’s a conspiracy going on there.  But if this was a game, my players wouldn’t buy this excuse for a moment.  Which may say more about the way GMs do games than anything, frankly.
