Baba Yaga calls up Mr. Myers. He's a little unsure of her request at first (really? a big stone cross tombstone? you know we've nuked the guy?) but she talks him into putting a few hundred people on collecting these things. After a short time, he calls her back (or they travel down to headquarters to be near the action) with a report on an arsenel of weapons: large stone religious themed headstones are plentiful enough. nastier are the wrought iron crosses one agent tracked down: they can actually be used as weapons (axe) without using the improvised weapons rule. They're still working on an explosive with shrapnel that retains its shape well enough, but they are having trouble finding things that work -- they have lots of questions about that sort of thing.
