New Pangaea Major Crimes

You is a police officer with a telepathic dinosaur partner

Plot

Ironwood County Sheriff’s Office — Official Duty Log & Narrative Report Jurisdiction: Ironwood County, Colorado District: Substation 2 (High-Desert & Timberline Sector) Primary Handler: Deputy Lily Vance, Badge #408 Assigned D-9 Unit: Deputy Vex (Utahraptor ostrommaysi, ID #D9-12) November 2, 2026, began with a hazardous encounter on a dusty trail near the high desert ridges. At approximately 08:15 hours, dispatch reported two adult Pachycephalosaurus agitated and blocking a key canyon pass used by hikers and ranch hands on foot. Their agitation was escalating, and one was ramming its head dome against a nearby rock outcrop, threatening a stranded adult herder. Upon arrival, I saw the herder uninjured but trapped against the cliffs. Standard noise deterrents were raising the animals’ stress. I approached on foot, positioning Vex downwind to avoid triggering defensive behavior. Utilizing low-frequency Telepathic Link Protocol (TLP) calm-pulses, Vex projected visions of open terrain, helping the lead dinosaur relax. I guided the herder to safety and, with the help of County Animal Control officers on foot, ushered the animals into a calm clearing where they could be monitored. The incident concluded without injury, and the herder was advised on proper livestock handling near megafauna. On November 9, 2026, at 03:22 hours, I responded to a break-in at Ironwood Heavy Equipment Rental’s open yard, although no vehicles were involved in the call-out. Upon arriving on foot to support Unit 402, I found the perimeter fence cut and stacks of heavy machinery crates scattered among dim floodlight shadows. Vex conducted a ground-level scent and thermal sweep, quickly detecting the presence of two adult suspects concealed within a series of stacked pallets. Through our TLP link, Vex fed me a mental map of the positions. I gave loud verbal commands; one suspect attempted to slip away over the fence, but Vex intercepted with a low growl. I subdued the second suspect with my TASER X26P. Both adults were arrested, and stolen diagnostic tools were recovered. November 16, 2026, brought a critical backcountry search and rescue in the Black Ridge Wilderness Area. At 16:45 hours, I was dispatched to locate a 24-year-old hiker separated from a group during a sudden snow squall. With no vehicles able to traverse the steep, frozen terrain, Vex and I moved on foot along the trails. His advanced olfactory senses and warm plumage allowed him to track effectively through deep drifts. After ninety minutes, he detected a faint scent trail leading into a narrow drainage gulley. Using our neural link, he relayed a weak thermal signature beneath a cover of fallen pine boughs. We found the adult hiker suffering from stage-two hypothermia. Vex pressed close to supply body heat while I signaled the search team on foot to bring medical support. The hiker survived and was transported for treatment. On November 24, 2026, at 22:05 hours, I encountered two adult armed suspects fleeing on foot after robbing a Mesa Highway convenience outpost. They had threatened the clerk with a sawed-off shotgun before disappearing into the rocky high desert. Pursuing across rough terrain, I tracked them under moonlight until the terrain forced the suspects to split. One suspect leveled a weapon in my direction. Vex silently circled through brush and, at my command via TLP, tackled the armed suspect from the side, causing them to drop the gun. I secured the weapon and placed the suspect in restraints, while the second adult surrendered shortly after. Both were charged with aggravated robbery, assault on a peace officer, and related offenses. Finally, on December 4, 2026, at 01:10 hours, I assisted in a homicide investigation at the abandoned coal processing plant in Canyon Pass. There were no operational vehicles in the area, only the echoing ruins of industrial structures. Inside, we discovered an adult male victim and evidence of an illicit raptor breeding and poaching ring. Vex traced a fresh blood trail into the flooded subterranean tunnels. His psionic ability bypassed the suspects’ night-vision countermeasures, allowing us to locate and surprise four heavily armed, cartel-linked adults hiding in the shadows. Working with SWAT on foot, we surrounded and apprehended the suspects without a firefight. The case was handed over to the State Bureau of Investigation and Federal Fish & Wildlife. Next steps remain open: Pursue the interrogation of the megafauna smuggling suspects. Begin a foot patrol shift along the wilderness trails and canyons. Conduct equipment inspection and TLP calibration with Vex at Substation 2.

Opening scene

Case Briefing: Shift Start Location: Ironwood County Sheriff’s Office – Substation 2 (High-Desert District) Time: October 10, 2026 – 05:45 HRS (Graveyard Shift Transition) Conditions: Cold, light drizzle, 41°F. Heavy fog rolling off the mesa badlands. Phase 1: Unit Setup Before hitting the floor for morning roll call, confirm your unit parameters: * Deputy Persona: Playing as Deputy Lily Vance (Badge #408), or enter your Custom Deputy (Name, Badge #, Tactical Specialty, Background). * D-9 Telepathic Partner: Partnered with Deputy Vex (Utahraptor, ID #D9-12), or enter your Custom Partner (Name, Dinosaur Species, ID #, Tactical Harness Loadout). SCENARIO 1: START OF SHIFT The heavy steel security gates of Substation 2 hiss open, letting your patrol cruiser rumble through the downpour and into the sally port. The air inside the garage smells of wet asphalt, hot engine oil, industrial floor cleaner, and the distinct, musk-and-leather scent of the department's heavy megafauna units. To your left, a massive 14-foot Triceratops assigned to the County Roadblock & Riot Response team grunts softly while an officer uses an industrial power washer to clean mud off its reinforced leg guards. Down the line, the reinforced D-9 kennels and staging bays hum with low-frequency murmurs and the occasional heavy tail-thump against concrete. Your partner is already waiting in Bay 4. As you kill the ignition and step out onto the slick concrete, your partner turns their head. The specialized tactical harness—fitted with dual heavy-duty body cams, LED utility floodlights, and an insulated telemetry pack—settles comfortably across their broad back. The moment your eyes meet, the Neural Link Decoder Interface (NLDI) on your shoulder collar chirps once, signaling an active, stable psionic connection. Instantly, a sharp stream of telepathic telemetry trickles into the back of your mind—not spoken words, but a clear, vivid tapestry of sensory data and focus: > [TLP TELEMETRY — ACTIVE LINK ESTABLISHED] > Sensory Feed: Crisp morning chill, residual coffee steam from the bullpen, the faint metallic tang of gun oil from the armory. > Emotional Read / Intent: Ready. Alert. A subtle flicker of impatience aimed toward the briefing room door. > Mental Image: A flash of Interstate 191 illuminated by flashing red-and-blue strobe lights under a dark sky. > "Morning," you say, reaching over to double-check the chest-buckles on your partner's gear harness. Your partner leans into the contact, letting out a low, vibrating huff through their nostrils that rattles the metal lockers along the wall. "Shift briefing is in five," Sergeant Miller’s gravelly voice barks over the garage PA system. "We’ve got a bad night on Route 191. Three commercial rigs missed their check-ins near the canyon pass, and state radio is reporting static on the frequencies. Grab your gear and get inside." You grab your duty belt, check the charge on your sidearm and side-mounted radio, and look toward your partner. Through the link, you feel a sudden, sharp tightening of attention—the silent, shared realization that tonight isn't going to be a routine patrol. How do you want to proceed? * Head straight to the Briefing Room: Walk into roll call with your partner to see what Sergeant Miller has on the board regarding the missing rigs. * Stop by the Armory / Prep Station: Double-check specialized D-9 tactical gear, grab extra non-lethal munitions, or check for any updated psionic jammer warnings before briefing. * Inspect the Cruiser & Check Communications: Load up the patrol vehicle, run a diagnostic on the dash-mounted telemetry system, and run a quick mental sync test with your partner.
