ARKHAM KNIGHT: Super weapons and creative accounting

Seriously, the amount of money it’s taking to put together this operation is almost the same as the national budget of a small country.

I don’t really know how the hell I’m supposed to be budgeting this endeavour. Why do they even need an accountant? There’s no budget to keep to. Every time I get to the bottom of one pool of money they point me at another.

I have no idea where these people are finding all this money. They built up an army of drone tanks, militia forces, aerial drones, watch towers, barricades…essentially everything you’d need to seize and hold an entire city.

Then there’s this Special Projects Division I keep seeing on my budget sheets. They’re pouring millions of dollars into it, something called Cloud Burst and Project Armour Knight appear as line items on at least four balance papers.

I work and work for weeks before curiousity gets the better of me. I start pulling a few late-night shifts and hack into the system to find out more about the group’s plans. Reams of data unfold before my eyes, terrifying things, horrendous plans, weaponised chemical dispersal, and an armoured suit that looks…like…Batman’s suit?

What the hell is going on with this bunch? I can’t be their accountant with all of this stuff going on. I need to tell the authorities, I need to get out of here.

I start printing off the sheets so I can take them to the police and become so engrossed that I don’t even hear the door open behind me. A gun goes off, I hit the floor, my office is burned to the ground.

I was so close…

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: I'm taking some cues from a fellow blogger and loosening the update deadlines on my blog. Due to being a father, I've been a bit lax over the last couple of weeks with my insistence on Wednesday and Saturday updates. From now on, I'm going to be using the "mid-week blog" and "weekend blog" titles to keep things updating regularly, but give myself a tiny bit of leeway. Hope this is okay with all youz. Thanks for reading. T.
