Watchdog 187, Samuel Brock
Threat Level: Beta
Our private flight received a warning to land, due to an intense solar flare. We were forced to put down in Houston. After learning that the duration of the solar flare may exceed several days, Watchdog 199 and myself agreed that we could not afford the wait, not with the arrival of alien life approaching. We bribed Houston air-traffic control and left for New Mexico, keeping our altitude below ten thousand feet to avoid the radiation.
When we arrived in New Mexico, the Mann jet had not arrived. It is possible that they were grounded by the radiation from the solar flare and were unable to arrange for emergency transport. I find myself hoping that’s the case. Our first contact with alien life should not be an Extraordinary.
At this point it’s worth commenting that given Henry’s social instability, he may prove a danger to this mission and the future of all alien contact. With our moves to eliminate Extraordinaries all over the country, it would be foolish to let Henry and his team continue to live. I’m going over our ordinance in preparation for taking Henry down.
However, Watchdog 199 has not yet determined that he has a fail-safe method of killing Capt. White. While a sniper round from great distance would undoubtedly prove fatal (he does not have the sort of fortitude that Henry does), his ability to phase out of material contact leaves too much room for failure. 199 is working with our equipment, trying to put something more certain together. If anyone can make a weapon that can bring down White, it’d be Watchdog 199. Maybe if we can get our hands on some of Mann’s PROTOX suit…

Threat Level: Beta
Henry and the others have finally arrived in New Mexico, albeit by car, rather than jet. Henry’s nose looks to have been broken again and he was covered in bruises. Looks like at some point, someone tried to stop them again. I wouldn’t mind the competition, except that they seem to be Extraordinaries too. From Henry’s condition it looks like it had been one hell of a fight. Too bad we weren’t there, it would have been a perfect time to eliminate Henry and White, while they were weakened.
Dr Cobain and Dr Jarita left with Henry and the others, while Sasaki took a separate route. Sasaki is on her way to Washington to discuss the alien revelation with the President (too bad the assassination didn’t succeed), while Henry, Mann and White went to an air force base.
Watchdog 199 believes that White will be able to use his rank and military connections to arrange a flight to Australia, despite the solar flare. It is imperative that we follow. I am initiating contact with our agents in the military and devoting our entire allotment of bribe money to arrange transport for ourselves. At this point, I believe that this is the Watchguard’s greatest responsibility.

Threat Level: Beta
We have arrived in Australia. Few satellites survived the intense radiation of the solar flare, so we have to resort to portable surveillance equipment. None the less, we have located Henry. There is no sign of Dr Jarita, Capt White, or Mann.
Densitometer readings of Mann’s equipment container show that it is empty, implying that he is using the PROTOX suit. Mini-radar caught two small signatures at extreme long range. The blips are small and may be anomalies, however, the probability that the signatures belong to Mann and White is too great. The whereabouts of Dr Jarita are unknown currently.
But Henry and Cobain are alone and now is a perfect time to eliminate two Extraordinaries. We are currently in pursuit.
We were interrupted in our pursuit. Oddly behaved lightning shot overhead, moving erratically. It did not show up on radar, but Watchdog 199 is certain that the energy signature matches the electrical readings previously taken from James Marsh.
Explosions in the distance indicated that Marsh and the others were engaged in fighting. We decided to follow at a distance, allowing the Extraordinaries to weaken each other, so that we could take them all out. At this point, Mann is the only non-Extraordinary on the scene and would prove an awkward witness. Better to just kill him too.
Watchdog 199 told me that Marsh’s energy output had increased by twenty percent since his last appearance. He seemed significantly more powerful, wounding Capt White despite his abilities and doing massive damage to the PROTOX suit. Additionally, he delivered massive shocks to both Dr Jarita and Henry.
Despite medical attention from Mann, Henry’s heart stopped beating.
Mann, Jarita, and Cobain were alone, White having fled the scene, but we were unable to strike due to the arrival of the Australian military.
Due to the importance of current events, I will remain with Watchdog 199, especially considering that the foreign Extraordinaries do not have Watchdogs. He’ll need my help to take them all down, machine wiz or not. Our heavy weapons will be more than enough for Cobain and Jarita, even with her healing factor. I don’t even think that PROTOX can stand up to weaponry designed to stop Henry Thomas.
For the time being we are unable to carry out a strike, but at least one Extraordinary died. My only regret is that I didn’t get to do it myself.
