Andrej catched the sack of coins which was thrown by Jackson, 86 caps...atleast if that what he said was true.
Really Andrej could understand Jackson as he directly drifted from the past in the present, that what he saw was a miserable condition and if the legion did that to him, he did not wonder why he also took this job, wether the Courier 6 influenced him or not.
He also knew that Jackson was rather willingly to go solo and so admittting that he needs a group would have possible been a huge step for him, simply that fact made Andrej worry a bit. Andrej had life for a long time, really most people do not make it past 40 years in the wasteland but he? He had endured more than 50 and even travelled through many cities and so had collected many knowledge about many things.

It was no wonder why Jackson picked him but the rest was well slightly questionable. Two SUpermutant! Well those giant walking tanks could sometimes be reasonable and yet sometimes can be spoken to but when travelling with them they would stick out like a deathclaw in a brahim herd and well in Legion territority it would end as messy.
The ex-Legion guy was...a difficult pick, it does makes sense having a guide and someone who knows the habbits and structures of the legion but how related to the legion was he? Maybe he would sell them out but then the legion was not to be known to be that mercifull, so Andrej did doubt that he would cause problems.
Now what was left? The two female guns for hire? Mhh the one was a looker and did seem cheerfull enough but how many of that was charrade? The other? Quiet and certainly dangerous, she was one to not leave an eye upon since such quiet womens always have some corpses in their bunker.

Andrej shaked his head and continued to listen to Jacksons speech which was now done.
5000caps in legion currency, those ugly dimes~ Copied money from european history like the whole Legion idea, a desperate try to clench onto a ruined history, a forgotten history and reanimate and a collapsed empire. False gods, a golden lamb and so easily to fall in love with for those with a weak heart, for those with the false idea of a god.
Andrej saw the face of the true god, he knew his shape and also his colours, his stripes and stars...it was america, it was the symbol of that what was still alive...the enclave...America.
But well~ hard times are meaning hard measures and if that meant using Legion coins, that would be okey.

Giving Jackson no name for his list, he directly headed to get some supplies. He had used nearly all of his supplies for the way here, yet he had around 500 caps for buying .
The problem was that they had no packing-brahmin or other means to transport stuff and so~ What option would there be but carrying the stuff with a bagpack, with the same bagpack he is carrying around now. Well there would not be another option.
It would mean that they had to re-supply during the journey~ Hence this would mean that he had to buy ammonition, medical utensils and food for atleast two days not to forget water.
A Quick calculation and he had 5 bottles of 1L water, instant glue, bandages, 5 sryinges, 1L bottle of vodka, 3 x Rad-Ex, 6 Med-ex, some scorpoin glands and some night stalker blood to make some anti-venom and more more more. To make it quick he already surpassed 500 caps and so had to rethink all what he wants to buy.
Food first, the rest later~

Andrej headed to the market district and was suprised how quickly things changed, from the outskirt were crime was present any minute and one need to hope that he did not gets stabbed from behind, the market distrcit was tightly secured by NCR soldiers who cheked merchants and trander as well as people who wants to buy.
It was a tight security and that was no suprise, this city would otherwise be ruled by anarchy, merchants and traders trying to rip eachother off. 
Hah if one would look at the history of the hub it already happened, the water dealers and the merchants wielded a bloody war against eachother to decide who would rue the city, it was then setteld by the NCR later who are now strictly judging about every law.
It was now pleasent to see that it worked and that order was now ruling in this most sinfull part of the waste. The NCR was incabable of many things but close to their own cpital they had power but the borders were fragile and way to thin and so they quickly loose power by exhausting their troops on the front lines.

Andrej gave a NCR trooper a friendly nod and skimmed throught he packed stands, stores and brahmin.
Quickly he found some bottles of clean water and for 5Litres he only had to pay 50 caps, a small price considering the high water taxes but Andrej gave him some infos on improving the water filster system so it was a nice thing that he lowered his prices. The merchant was friendly overall and so Andrej choosed to buy many things here.
The name of thi merchant was Hjun Kelvin and well he was also over 50 and so an old hare in this buisness. Andrej and him talked for a long time, about the Mojave, about this, about that, really a pleasant change to find a friendly face here.
In the end Andrej lost 300caps there but had most what he wanted.

The list said:
5Litres of water = 50caps
7 packages of dried brahmin meat = 100 caps
A doctor´s bag = 20 caps
5x Med-X = 100caps
a bottle of Rad-X pills = 50 caps
3xRad-Away = 78 caps
6x Sryinges = 10 caps
7x Brow-flowers = 5 caps
3x Xander-root = 12 caps
2x 1L mushroom Vodka (it´s impossible to drink but it has a good volume) = 40 caps
_________________________________
All in all he spent 465 caps and got nearly got half the things he wanted but well better than nothing eh? He even had to pic the cheap Xander-roor, Broc-flower combo to create a usefull stinpack, he had no lab and no caps to spent anymore so....well this had to work out. Hah the others had to deal with it, it was unlikely that he had to catch some bullets.
For 30 caps He now rented a room and headed to sleep~

The next day~ It was 5 o´clock and Andrej was crawling out of the bed, he opened one of the purchased water bottels and took a huge gulb and looked around in the room he rent. It was more likely a chamber, only a bunker bed with a insect infected bed and a rusty shelf holding it but then it had a working sink and a toilet. Andrej took care of more personal buisness and dressed himself.
30 caps for the room he got was way too expensive and so it was in Andrej´s interrest to let the owner know, he´s a decent man but well~ sometimes one had to make a point and furthermore he was now heading off to a mission and so it was unlikely he would ever return to this ragged down excuse of a civilised city.
So Andrej headed for the generator which runs this small shack and did some minor~~applications to it~. As soon as the owner would turn on the electricity the circuit of the generator would be over driven and so fry the damn~ it does happen from time to time and well~ the electrical chargers running the generator would never be missed as well, it gave Andrej two more mags for his plasma-rifle~ what a good day!

As Andrej arrived at the bar it was already 6am and so shortly before they would head towards wherever they need to be to save the courier and to gain the money they were promised but he still had some time to get more closely to the others~
