The Journal of Sheriff Bo Perkins shall be entered within.
The following is from the personal recordings of Police Chief Bo Perkins.
Subjects known only as the Jew and the Suit. Very suspicious, probable career thieves. Unknown origins. Probable magic users. Use caution.
I was sent on a "job", turned out to be diamond robbery under the pretense of improving a security system. Went through with job for purposes of investigation and exposure of subjects. Discovered possible criminal activity in London Diamond Exchange. Vault is protected by some spine-spittin plant varmint. Diamond Exchange appears to exist as a pretext for having a vault to contain said varmint. Giant incinerator in vault, used each night to beat back plant growth. Definitely no permit for military grade flamethrower. Contacted Interpol about violations, was assured they would 'look into it'. Probable load of crap. Payment was given in the amount of 6 million pounds. Dirty money donated to Austin School District for funding of arts departments.
Secondary Subject known as Hector. Last name and background unknown. Probable career criminal. Assured me of innocence but exhibited suspiciously high knowledge in all sorts of burglary technique. Investigate further.
Long pause
Casualties: William Bowden, partner. No immediate family. Large stocky fighter type. Foot soldier, not a commander. Taken down by varmint and corpse incinerated by vault mechanism. Skull kept for memorial.
Primary Subjects: potential murderers.
End tape
The following is from the personal recordings of Police Chief Bo Perkins.
Known criminal: Kelly, unknown last name. Guilty of assault on a police officer, yours truly, and kidnapping of said police officer. Appears to be a little girl, but claims to be older than me. Suspected supernaturality.
Known criminal: Thurgood Black. English accent, possible citizenship. Guilty of the murder of an elderly pseudo-shaman woman. Guilty also of possession of a highly technological, probably illegal sniper rifle. Folds into a rectangular shape to avoid detection. Authorities have been alerted, has been put on a watchlist to prevent international travel. Also has a steamer trunk which may contain contraband.
Suspected criminal: Faun. Guilty of breaking and entering into cathedral in Sao Paolo, Brazil. More'n likely guilty of sending Kelly after me, so guilty by association of all of Kelly's crimes.
Suspected criminal: Chris, unknown last name. Claims to be a player in some kind of cosmic 'games', which I appear to have been dragged along on against my will. Suspect admits that games are likely highly illegal, and appears indifferent. Watch carefully.
Suspected criminal: Elizabeth Pendelton. Unknown powers, but appears to have somehow assaulted the aforementioned Mr. Black, causing him to… age several years. Quite peculiar. Assaulted him as a matter of vengeance, so certainly guilty of attempted vigilante justice. Should be watched as well.
Possible criminal: Hugo Becker. Captain of an airship. Stand up guy, but in possession of technology that is certainly not covered under the law but is an interesting gray area. Also keep a close eye on.

The following is from the personal recordings of Police Chief Bo Perkins.
Known criminals: Rogue Spanish government operatives, experimenting in creating mutants at an underwater facility off the coast of the Canary islands. The mutants as well as the facility are now destroyed.
Possible Criminal: Terrence, unknown last name. In possession of some armor-piercing explosive ammunition, probably illegal. I doubt very many people on these games possess the proper permits for their weaponry.
Allies in the war on Crime: Unknown Interpol operative, Sergeant Rowan, Senator John Hays. All aided me in the mission to bring down the Spanish criminals, and appeared to be acting within their jurisdiction.
long pause
Re-evaluation: Captain Hugo Becker. His technology has certainly not been covered by federal or international law, and he appears to be incredibly useful. I'm considering deputizing him should we meet again, so that his actions will carry the full force of the law, and he will no longer be guilty of vigilantism.
end tape
Deputy Hugo Becker just doesn't sound as good as Captain. I'm sure he will appreciate it though.
You weren't on American soil, harvesting skulls isn't illegal at the bottom of the ocean.
The following is from the personal recordings of Police Chief Bo Perkins.
At the risk of sounding paranoid, there are god damn criminals everywhere. Patience is necessary; I won't do anyone any good by getting killed trying to arrest the most powerful ones. That said…
Known Criminals: A "Dr. Baker". He's some kind of miracle surgeon, or something. Problem is, he ain't got no respect for personal boundaries. Guilty of at least one count of limb theft - no, I didn't stutter - from a conscious patient who gave no consent. Looks like he successfully replaced a thumb that I lost, though, which is… nice. I may seek other options.
Possible Criminals: The sons of bitches in White Coats. They are known to be carrying out unknown operations in the middle of the Outback with some private paramilitary group, which is suspicious at best. Additionally, whoever is above them is likely guilty of the same crimes if not more. The man who sent us in alluded to some greater power that is in charge of these "games" that I keep getting sent on, and that power is certainly guilty of many multitudes of nameless crimes. As I said earlier, patience is a virtue…
pause
New Allies: A man known as Brainstorm. Appears to have the delusion that he is a superhero, but hell, looks like I'm some kind of psychic, so there you go. His intentions are noble even if he got the same problem most superheroes do of a misguided notion of vigilante justice. Best that I get to him first and his word carries some authority.
end tape
I think he's got a few games to play first.
Those who know Etheridge has been using the pseudonym Baker shortly learn that he is now going by Jackson. He doesn't want anyone to confuse him with Egas Freeman …
The following is from the personal recordings of Police Chief Bo Perkins.
I spent the last week and a half on a mission with one Dalton James, an expatriate to Somalia, of all places. His ideas are noble and idealistic but ultimately useless and futile. He also refuses to shut his trap about them, and since our mission was mostly driving places, we didn't have much to do but talk about them.
The job was simple. The US government needed some non-regular operatives to make a drop in the English channel, so they hired me and James to do it. And naturally, being the FBI, they were massively inefficient and couldn't provide us with anything more than a semi to transport 4 car-sized crates from Somalia all the way to the English channel.
We were given legal authority to use whatever means necessary. This was a… liberating experience for me. James and I had to bribe several people to get our cargo unmolested through border checkpoints, as well as the captain of a shipping freighter to let us stow aboard with our cargo and to allow us to use the tugboat to transport it to the exact drop spot, which was up a river a short ways.
It was at this point that PISCES men boarded our vessel, and I was forced to kill them to protect the mission, which we were told was of critical importance to national security. James was horrified, which makes me worry for his future. He's a well intentioned, bright kid, but he's going to get himself and probably other people killed with his absolute refusal to do what is necessary.
pause
I am disturbed by something I discovered, however. Whatever was in the crates, which we never opened, was living. I detected well over one hundred thousand minds that were not human, but definitely living, inside the crates, using my psychic powers. There is a part of me that can't help wondering whether we just doomed England to a massive biological attack…
End tape
What we did actually has nothing to do with the nuke that went off. What we did was FAR worse… Thank god Bo has no idea.
Far worse than a nuke? I'm not so sure.
I may need to run a skype game some time in the near future to get you guys over there involved in the fun. ;)
Also there's at least one character over there that has lots of great in-game knowledge on the subject.
Well the one Alabama character that everyone in NC knows but no one in Alabama knows of course. xD
Oh. HIM. (please note that "HIM" is a general reference referring to a non-existent character)
If you're being half serious, I'll have to assume you mean Etheridge. The problem being that three of the Bama crew has met the guy (two even remember it).
Oh you have? I suppose that makes sense. I only figured you hadn't because you don't wax poetic about the man in all of your journals. It seems to be what everyone is talking about over here all the time.
Etheridge has the most in game knowledge of any character of the problem we're talking about. Which is odd since it only ever crops up in NC games. That meddling bastard. :P
And it's definitely worse than a nuke, Spencer, don't be foolish.

Hide this tape away, or destroy it.
long pause
I may have broken the law today.
I was sent on a mission to some town out in Utah, where the Lavender Festival is. Apparently the whole god damn town had gone missin', and it was up to us to figure out why. Long story short, the mayor of the town was some sort of harbinger of the apocalypse and had been prophesied about by some ancient Egyptian sect. We found him but he disappeared and all the townsfolk reappeared in the middle of attacking us. We managed to escape with minimal injuries. My psychic powers appear to allow me to throw people with my mind. This is wonderful.
After the townsfolk had calmed down, I found one of them and asked them to come with me and answer some questions. At this point the legal gray area begins. I brought him to Egas Freeman, who apparently can magically read people's minds through brain surgery. He anesthetized the man and picked around in his brain. We didn't find much we didn't know already, and left the man with $100,000 dollars for his trouble. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite my ass off.
