But in many ways, this is also the cheap way out (and in other respects, many might not have the Science skill nor the items to reprogram him). This will quickly, easily and humorously end this side quest. In fact, with a decent Science skill or some other electronic items in your inventory, you can actually speak with the robotic museum curator within the casino, Primm Slim, and reprogram him to become the sheriff straight-away. There are actually a few ways to complete the task at hand. Why Beagle can't step up and be sheriff is beyond anyone's comprehension, but nonetheless, a new sheriff is needed, and it'll be up to you to help them find one.

Speaking with him and Johnson Nash will alert you to the fact that Primm is in dire need of a new sheriff. At any time after that, you can head back to the Vikki and Vance Casino in Primm, where Deputy Beagle hangs out with some old friends. If you successfully release Beagle, that's all the better, since he's intimately involved in this side quest. That's a lengthy mission indeed, but at one point in particular during your quest, you'll come across the missing deputy of Primm, a man named Beagle. This side quest is somewhat intertwined with events that occur during the primary mission known as They Went That-a-Way.
