War Never Changes

James Kimball- The road to Phoenix.

Travelling towards Phoenix James could see a small farm up ahead as they approached they could see that a Squad of NCR troopers where ransacking the house with the owners, an old couple tied up on the porch. Nearby the Squad leader and NCR Combat Engineer were removing collars and seemlying recruiting several tribal looking young men

“Mr President Sir!” the squad leader called out as the president’s tank approached “Farm belongs to that old couple and along with using slave labour to run the farm one of the slaves told me they have been supplying the legion forces with food.”

“Two crimes punishable by death.” James coldly replied “Once you are done with the House Burn the crops and then continue onto Phoenix.”

Meanwhile 300 miles away in Vegas.

"Put her under room-arrest for the time being. Take her to the quarters I have given her people and guard the door." He glared at Calypso. "If I see any more of that sort of shit from your folks, your entire entourage will be banished from New Vegas." He apologetically looked at Shelby. "I am doing you a favour. It could have been much worse.

“House arrest?” Alex called out as he sat back down his chair, his shoulder hurt alot but he could wait a few minutes for the meeting to end before going to see the doctor. “Clearly this poor girl has been brainwashed by the "Non-chosen one", I ask that she be handed over to the followers for treatment.”

Anything more extreme King would refuse but he might agree to that.

After taking a deep breath, The King came down from the particular high of the conflict and slouched in his chair. "I think this calls for an adjournment of our first day. Please enjoy all of the amenities that New Vegas has to offer, and we will meet again tomorrow. If you would like to remain at the table unofficially, that is fine. But you are all free to depart for the day. We will resume at the same time tomorrow."

“If anyone wishes to speak to the NCR several representatives will be at the tops casino.” Alex stated as he looked at his shoulder wound, the chopstick had dung in rather deep. “... I’ll be joining them once this has been dealt with.”

A short time later- The lucky 38

A drunken man walked up to the doors of the Lucky 38, ranting Nonsense he suddenly fell over and slip something under the door...

Dear Mr House

I apologise for not being able to go to the convention myself and that you had to deal with my body double, the man may look like me but he is somewhat of an asshole. Although to be fair to the man I did tell him to be an utter dick to the legion and get Caesar to leave assuming the attack is an full on invasion.

As I’m sure you’re aware the Legion uses spies “Frumentarii” to gather information, with them no doubt having agents in both the NCR & Vegas. I plan on stopping or hindering them from properly informing the Legion by purposely spreading "Fake news"..made up stories, reports, contradicting press statements and even giving out eight different version of the attack plan to non-essential officers back in the NCR.

With any luck the Frumentarii will give false information to Caesar but at the same time my allies and neutral parties like the FZM will be unsure of the NCR plans.

Which is why I wanted to write and state regardless of what you may hear or be told the NCR has no intention of invading the FZM (If anything I’d like it to become a client state but that’s an discussion for another day.) or even Arizona for that matter, the goal of the attack is to weaken the legion and humiliate Caesar with the hopes of causing an civil war.

Yours sincerely

President James Kimball [K]

Alex “The Double” Hornsby- NCR

Calypso again inhaled sharply and exhaled collecting herself, “Well then, if you are finished with your temper tantrum, I do have other items to discuss. First, The Jade Emperor is not a female and I am his chosen one. Second a small raider group? REALLY? Though The Jaded Empire may not be as large as your NCR army, we are truly skilled and have no need to compensate with tanks and such for a lack somewhere else. Plus we can provide building materials, iron, and safe passage through our Great Lakes.” Calypso laughed

“So you spared some of slaves from the sacrifice Pit to mine stuff for you and got some goons Guard stuff for Big deal. "James chuckled “Sure you may be smarter some of the dumb shits that call themselves raiders such as the Jackals or those guys in Zion but I’d hardly call you a nation... Enterprising Raider Tribe at best.”

Even tribal’s can do that stuff.

“If your President truly had a good second in command, he could have graced us with his presence and had YOU on the front lines. That is, unless YOU are the true coward?” She shrugged pressing her lips together

“Well technically I’m the third highest ranking person in the NCR Government “Hopeway stated “but I share that ranking with the chief of staff.”

“Hmm,” she folded her hands, “TISK TISK,” she twitched her finger, “The only…BITCH here is YOU. Do tell, oh wait a minute,” Calypso pressed her finger on her lip then snapped her fingers, “No, I can tell, you’re the receiver in that relationship no?” She leaned forward, her eyes never leaving his, “And that leaves me with my last order of business to discuss” Calypso leaned back and rolled her shoulders, “I hereby put a one hundred thousand cap bounty for HIS HEAD,” Calypso’s finger darted towards the NCR rep before taking Martin’s hand.

“Just what I expected from an raider "Chosen One" Bitch, some disagrees with you and all you can do is take their head but fine if you wanna play that GAAMMME!”Alex attempt to reply but was cut off by the cute girl that had accompanied Calypso plugging steel chopstick deep into Alex’s shoulder.

Tumbling to the Ground Alex was pissed, this RED Commie, porbably Brainwashed Brat had dared to fucking stab him? The President’s double and follower of the Dark one.... This Act could not go unpunished and not by those robots, Alex would no MUST do it himself.

Blocking Shelby’s Attack Alex grabbed the small woman and swung her to ground and quickly got on top of her, Gaining the advantage. “MOTHER FUCKING BITCH” Alex shout as he began to beat the now mostly defendless woman

“How dare you fucking stab me?” He added on as used his hands to Move Shelby's arm out of the way and head-butted the woman.

Meanwhile the Ranger Vet ranger who had entered the room with the Double (and had since spend all this time at the mini bar) made his way over to the convention table “O-kay gets offa th-e president befores I break you.” He drunkly stated, taking an slip from his whiskey bottle before noticing the Double was seemlying winning the fighting. “O-h wait he’s winn-ing.... Backs to Dinking for mes then.”

Alex “The Double” Hornsby- NCR

“Honesty you really have become House’s puppet, it’s a strike force, not even a quarter of the NCR army yet you constantly go on with the expansionism line... get it in your head “Mr Sell-out” we aren’t taking anymore land, we are destroying the legion and leaving.”

“With that said I, speaking on behalf of the NCR I agree to your terms."Alex replied before turning to the legionnaire “if you knew anything about the president you’d know he wouldn’t smoking cigars with any land barons but to answer you question there are several ways to prove that he is the president, for example a blood test.”

“There are more easier and fast ways of course but it would be foolish of me to just outright tell them to the legion or several of the other factions hostile to the NCR here now would it?”

That was when the "raider goddess" (according to the report) woman “Calypso” stood and swung her swinging her arm towards the television in what could only be called an temper tantrum as she slammed her first down on the table and began to rant and rave like an crazy woman...
Fuck you too bitch although not much we can do being on the opposite sides of the country

“Every other nation is present here…in person, people of power and of great responsibility and this man,” Calypso clenched her fist, “Is playing games? My nation shall NEVER deal with this man’s nation lest it be death.”

“You’re assuming I don’t have power to speak to the NCR? Regardless since you seem to be ignorant of the west coast affairs allow to me educate you.”

“Five years ago a treaty was signed preventing war between the NCR and Legion, Not wanting to break this treaty the attack could only happen today, before a new one was signed and whilst many of you think it was an Dick more for the president to send an double how many of you would be calling him an coward or something along those lines had he come to Vegas instead of being with the troops? #

Although for some they’d be moaning either way.

“Likewise If the NCR had not sent anyone and just attacked how long would it have been before you all found out what was actually happening? Falsely preparing for an attack or war that wouldn’t happen would hurt Vegas economy and take valuable troops way from the frontlines of the Mid-west brotherhoods war with the Cult of Ug-Gualtoth.”

“Although speaking of Cults why the hell where you even invited? Granted our info on your “kingdom” is limited but from I do know you’re little more than a small raider/slave empire who sacrifices slaves and anyone over 50 for that matter to some False Red Chinese communist goddess and that you are her servant on earth.

“Well I’ve got some breaking news for you bitch; you aren’t RED, Chinese or the servant of some jaded empress just some crazed madwoman with delusions of godhood ”

everyone knows there is only one god.....

James then turned to The “Sell-out” King “Seriously is that what counts as nation these days? Why the hell would House want to deal with these crazed wannable RED Communist lunatics and their false goddess... only a matter of time before one of the more....civilized groups on the east coast such Cult of Ug-Gualtoth wipes them out.”

--
(Ooc: I assume calypso isn’t gonna sit there and take that so this is for afterwards)

“Well unless we have anything more to discuss I think we should declare this convention over.” Alex suggested “I will heading to the Tops casinos shortly afterwards should anyone wish to speak to me or another representative of the NCR in private.”

Fallout Survival RP (Highly Dangerous | Characters Can And Likely Will Die)

I live just outside of London and have wanted to do England fallout RP for years so count me as definitely interested.

question/though: In RL there aren't many guns in the UK since the RP is set in the Fallout universe we could have it that never happen or only happened to an limited degree (no assault rifles for example) so that our characters can/should be able to find guns.

Alex “The Double” Hornsby- NCR

“Did I say the New Vega would die without NCR’s Money? No I am fully aware Vegas can sustain itself and would for the most part continue on even if we where to fully cut ties today, not that I’m suggesting that.... but you cannot deny it would be a huge dent on the Vega’s income...”

That was when the leader of “ghost traders” spoke “His view doesn’t represent the Ghost Traders, or most of what we think. But, I will warn you President Kimball - do NOT threaten my extended family...it will end badly...."

Extended family? Who’s she talking

“Despite our History with Joshua Graham... The NCR has not intentions of going to war with the “Ghost traders”. In fact as sign of good faith and hope that we may one day become trading partners or allies the NCR congress has agreed to cancel the Bounty on Joshua’s head....Assuming of course he does not return to the legion.”

Him openly being alive is pure propaganda against the legion.

Shortly after that Lucius left, leaving what could only be described as a legion scribe? As his representative which was followed by the arrival of two later comers, first the Texan rangers and the new group “Free Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”

The NCR had little knowledge of this group but supposedly they very much like NCR and much like the NCR had a new leader who was relatively new to the political arena before becoming the leader of their territory.

Pausing to take a final sip of wine, the High Elder dabbed his lips with a tablecloth, before speaking up towards the new entrant. “You have missed much Madam Delegate, just a declaration of war. So politics as per usual....If I might speak to an envoy of New Vegas in private, that would be much appreciated. In addition to this, my associate scribes wish to speak with representatives of the Midwestern Brotherhood, and with a representative of the NCR.”

The Tin Cans wish to speak to us... interesting

“A representative will be sent to speak to you privately after this conference has concluded.”

Once the others had finished talking about the Brotherhood’s meeting request the representatives from the keys spoke to the president. “Quite a surprise, I must say. Mr. Kimball, may I ask what your exact reasoning behind this strike was? The Keys were hoping to promote peace and prosperity throughout the war-torn West, so I pray you have a just cause for the resumption of conflict in the region.”

“I could tell you, or the president himself could explain.” Alex replied noticing the white glove waiters had finally finished bring in and setting up the television with Hopeway changing the channel to (NS1) NCR-Sate Network One which was showing an Live presidential press conference from the Town of Bullhead... a short distance away from the Arizona border.

On screen was President Kimball although he looked different....more... heroic to the otherwise identical man sitting in the Ultra lux in Vegas. Wearing the NCR Tank commander’s uniform and leather Jacket he had wore when part of the Mechanised division the president was in the city of Bullhead seeming giving a press conference in front of what appeared to be an NCR Tank.... The president's Battle Tank

"Citizens of the new California republic approximately two hours ago the NCR Army and Rangers led by general Shu and chief Wilson respectively launched a joint strike on the Legion forces in Arizona.”

“For those that are worrying that I’m repeating my father’s mistakes in Vegas, worry not. This is not an Invasion but a Prempetive strike with of aim of crippling legions forces and resources and not a full on conquest."

“Although Moore’s campaign five year ago was a failure for the NCR It was also a great Humiliation for the legion and the new Caesar as they where only saved by the complete and utter destruction by Intervention of Mid-west brotherhood.

“Whenever Caesar or the legionnaires like to admit it or not they own their survival today to group they would consider heretical profligates who worship an false Man-god and not the wisdom of Caesar, strength of the legion or blessing from Mars...”

“Over the last five years the legion has rebuild it army, preying on the small tribes and towns in Mexico and American south-east. Now that the legion has been rebuilt it will only be matter of time before the new Caesar attempts to reclaim his lost honour, lest he replaced by a more worthy servant of Mars.”

“Thus I have decided to strike first... the campaign of Arizona will be merciless and Brutal... I cannot promise that everyone will come back but with their sacrifice we can hopefully avoid an invasion on the NCR and the untold suffering that will bring to the NCR citizens on the border.”

“To the representatives at the American Convention currently going in Vegas I apologise for not be able to come myself but much like the New Caesar I like to lead from the front...” The president stated as he put on a Tanker’s helmet

The president then began to climb onto the Tank behind the stage which then drove off seemlying to the fight in Arizona as the Vice president took over the press conference. "I will now answer any questions you have."

War Never Changes

President James Kimball- NCR

“Funny I was gonna offer you the same deal, with my renewed borders of course.” James replied before taking a puff on his cigar “However we both knew this coming.... Even if I hadn’t attacked it’d only be matter before you did.”

“And don’t give me some bullshit and say you wouldn’t...Sure it may not have been now or even in the next five years but eventually it would happen... NCR stands for everything the Legion is against and for the legion to succeed we would have to destroy.”

“Same goes Vegas and Brotherhood...” James said as he turned to look at the Midwest representatives. “Soon or later the legion will turn on the Cult of the Brotherhood as well.... better to deal with them now whilst they are not properly back to full strength yet.”

"Excuse me." The King obliged,

James turned and faced the “king” who looked like he’d just shit himself. "If the New California Republic eagerly looks to erase the mutual coexistence of the Goodsprings Treaty, then it is declaring its intentions moving forward and painting itself as a greedy warmonger. The Free Economic Zone of the Mojave is predicated on the freedom to carve out one's existence without of fear of being stepped upon by a salivating regime.

“and the legion isn’t an “salivating regime” Sure Lucius may have changed a few things but they have no future.... without some sort of major restructuring, which won’t be happing the legion will remain an wandering army, raiding and slaving anyone not them and eventually they will turn their attention back to us or you.”

The King took another deep breath. "If you, President James Kimball, declare open war on Caesar's Legion and invade the lands surrounding the Mojave Desert, Robert House will take that as an affront to peace in the west as a whole and the forces of the F.Z.M will retaliate. If you move forward, you will be endangering your own citizens who eagerly run onto our soil despite your weak attempts to keep them home. If you follow through, you will be pitting your soldiers against thousands of Mark-II securitrons in addition to the Legion forces and whomever else desires to keep the west from being rolled over by your regime."

Finally, the King placed his final words of the speech. "So, if I were you, President Kimball...I would choose your next actions very carefully...The F.Z.M values preserving balance in the region far more highly than pandering to the average NCR citizen. You do not want the collective efforts of the west to point in your direction."

“Are you seriously siding with the fucking legion? Very uncool Mr King or should I say Mr Puppet.” James replied “these are people who’d be hanging you up on a cross if they could have their way and If the “collective efforts of the west” as you call them gang up and destroy the NCR... You do realize will be next?”

James briefly looked at Hopeway who simply nodded “You what fuck it do... unlike my father or the president before me I haven’t actually been stopping people from coming to Vegas but if you wage war on the NCR the border will immediately close and the money will come to an halt..“

Probably will survive but not much more.

“Similarly none of my troopers will be going anywhere near Vegas or the Mojave for that matter... so if you wish to fight us you will have come to us.... Knowing and willing leaving Vegas open for an attack by any number of people.”

Including those who I hire...

“Regardless of what actually happens though I doubt NCR citizens will be wanting to go Vegas afterwards “James chuckled as he took a puff on his cigar. "So go ahead, Bankrupt your city."

War Never Changes

President James Kimball- NCR

Speaking with Pontiff Cromwell James told the man what the NCR knew about the super mutant process “The process may be different on the east coast but from what I've told the transformation is quite painful, most people cannot withstand the pain and whilst it strengthens your body it actually deceases your mental abilities... however I'm happy to state most of the remaining super mutants have integrated peacefully into society.”

Whilst speaking to the Pontiff several other representatives arrived including one group of tribal’s wearing what appeared to be tape? James for the most part ignored them and continued his conversation with the pontiff until it was announced the enclave arrived... and James just had to say something to them...

Ah the enclave... You know what? How about you save us lives and time and just surrender now... seriously an fucking tribal kicked you ass and we flattened what was left.. you know we are gonna do it again or maybe the old guys Tins cans will if they can catch up to you with the crap they have for an air force" James chuckled

"You may have helped the legion at Hoover but I'm willing to make you a deal... if you surrender now and give up plans to "purge" the mutants, I'll have you become a "northern" state of the NCR. You will remain free, alive and allowed to continue the non-purging stuff you have going but you will follow our rules and work with us to make America great for everyone again....well almost everyone."

However it appeared the Enclave still foolishly though they ruled American with the supposed “Vice president stated “The might of the New California Republic tempered by a city of drunkards, and brainless machines. Do not speak to me again - James."

Weren’t you beaten by a robot out east?

Deciding it wasn’t worth annoying the “vice-president” anymore James turned back to face Cromwell "I will confess, however, that not all are like this," the Pontiff added. "One of my shepherds spoke of one such peaceful mutant living near one of Atom's sites, whom even more strangely, she claims has since turned back into a man."

"Turned back into man? Assuming that correct I'd be interesting in knowing what he did. Some of the Super mutants in the NCR may be interesting in turning back...and it could be a used as Non-lethal "solution" to the more aggressive mutants.

assuming it restores their mental abilities otherwise keep them as super mutants

"PLEASE BE SILENT." each securitron belted out simultaneously.

“Looks like the meeting is about to start, we can continue our talk later.” James replied before turning his attention to the “king”. With the three families turning out to be Back stabbing traitors, cannibals or led by an asshole it wasn’t surprising that the “king”, the man who'd once refused House offer had now become House’s right hand man... after the courier disappeared off course.

The King is a decent guy... should be okay to deal with.
The king began to state the “don’t do this” bah bah bah Rules and standard opening speech about working together which was stated at every large meeting. So instead of listening James used to the time to double check some things with Hopeway... it appeared the Arctic Haven guy was originally an NCR solider.

When the introducing announcement where over the legion where the first to speak, asking about the treaty of Goodspring. James looked down at his watch it was still abit to early for the broadcast but in a somewhat surprising move the Arctic have Merc stood up about how it wouldn’t be nations but mercs groups fighting the next war:

“Men like me fighting your wars will become the future. I am not being a cynic, but I know how people who hold themselves to be nations and states behave and none of you are any different. When this conference is over, feel free to come find me and we can discuss contract fees."

If the man knew what had happen roughly two hours ago...

Oh well it was good speech, might get him some business.

"Well that's a.... interesting little speech Mr Fulman.”James replied “Good way to advertise your company but unfortunately you have wrongly assessed the NCR or what I plan on doing as president but you probably correct about what Foxy plans or had planned to do." James chuckled

Adopting a more serious tone James continued "As the president of the NCR I have no intentions of playing some proxy cold war with the legion and would be more than happy to resign and agree to an updated treaty of Goodspring.... after a few... Border changes that is."

Counsellor Hopeway then passed out several copies of a small map with the new proposed border range, For the most part it was the same however North Oregon (which those who knew the area was an empty wasteland so James “claiming” it was seemlying just to make the NCR bigger on the map) and more importantly Arizona, which was part of the legion were now parts of the NCR with the new border line being what was once the Glia National forest

(Ooc: I'm gonna assume this offer will be rejected, well edit in someone's reply later on)

Lighting an NCR branded Cigar James chuckled “I figured that suggestion would rejected.... which is why I started the invasion of Arizona two hours ago.” James then casually turned to one of the white glove waiters “would it be possible to have a TV or radio brought in?”

After waiting a few cries of outrage (or support) James continued “As we speak the NCR 101st division storm troopers have broken though the legion lines, the 8th and 12th will follow them though and surround the legion forces as the 101th & 102th Marches on!

"Freeing and rally every slave they encounter they will turn an strike force into a small army...This time tomorrow that army will Marching on Phoenix!”

“Qui audet adipiscitur”

War Never Changes

OOC: I'm having the church of atom sitting next to the NCR if that's okay :)

President James Kimball

"Introducing the honoured heiress of Dulwich, Marie Ashur, who are here to act as Representative of the Faith!" one of the masked waiters announced

James turned to see who was entering and was surprised to see rather young looking and extremely pale woman with a bunch of oblivious suspicions goons in black suits and some sort of gasmask.. Also notable in the group was big man in a trench coat who did not seem to like the brotherhood with some sort of argument occurring when “Marie” woman spotted him staring at the brotherhood elder.
Interesting

Turning to Hopeway James whispered “what do we know on these g-guys?” as he felt a slight pain in his eyes from looking at the woman put simply shook it off.

“Cult of Ug-Qualtoth based out of the Pittsburgh and currently fighting a war with the mid western brotherhood... Worships some sort of “Dark god” Hopeway replied

“Dark God?”

“Supposedly this “Ug-Qualtoth” but we have little knowledge of whom or what is it.”

Guess We shall soon find

James turned back to face the legionnaire “vultus amo vestri competition habebit ad Deûm Deitas.” He chuckled before adding on “sed videtur quod non mulier ex novis ...” As his eye briefly stung again

"Introducing Pontiff Cromwell and Grand Zealot Richter of the Church of Atom," the attendant dryly announced

Jesus they really have a cult problem out east don’t they?

Compared to the other cult this group appeared to be less. Well... suspicions with the representatives being a friendly looking old man and a tattooed man in some sort of advanced but heavy looking combat armour. Judging by the way the man stood he had seemlying been (or was) in some sort of military group.
No doubt the Pontiffs bodyguard

“So what do we know about this bunch?” James whispered to Hopeway

“The Church of the Children of Atom we know even less about them that the “Ug-Gualtoth.” but they supposedly worship radiation which apparently granted them immunity from it although a number of their followers are supposedly also ghouls.”

May as well introduce myself... might get along with these guys if they sat them next to us.

James turned and spoke to the Cromwell “welcome Pontiff Cromwell, My name is James Kimball president of the NCR... I must confess we know little of your church but am I correct in saying you are welcoming to ghouls and mutants?”

“It is good to know that there is alteast one of other nation that is not run by bigots and shows some compassion to our mutated comrades and Citizens ”

OOC: Latin chat

looks like you have competition for godhood

War Never Changes

President James Kimball- Bear Force One en-route to New Vegas

Nine years

It had been Nine years since James had been to Vegas. Back then he’d been a recently promoted 23 year old lieutenant in the NCR Mechanized division. Thankfully he’d joined the military under his mother’s maiden name (to avoid the press and accusation of favouritism) or perhaps some nosy reporter or republican trying to blackmail his father would have ruined that “interesting” night

Wonder if they still work here?

Things had not be going well for James in the NCR and his reforms (most notable limiting the amount of land one person could own) with the fucking land Barons and their republican allies doing everything possible to block or derail him and it had only gotten worst since he had Shillary arrested with some jackass spreading rumours had he was an House puppet...

Thankfully the public could see though this bullshit and for now alteast he still had the general public’s supports but that would not last..... If things didn’t change soon James would be joining his father in Portland

Rather shoot myself than end up in that shithole..... Too weird

And thus James had decided to launch a surprise attack on the legion. Partly because it would be only a matter of time before the legion, now roughly back at full strength would attack them but also because with the land and follow up colonisation he could temporary halt the job/ food storages until he got his reforms pasted congress, A task that would also be easier with the Arizona silver mines under his control.

As the vetibird landed James looked down at his watch... the invasion would start soon, shortly after the convention started if everything went to plan.

Hiding the troop build up from the legion was unlikely if not impossible but by attending the American Convention himself (which was publicly announced) they may be fooled into thinking the invasion would start afterwards once the president was safety back home and thus not be completely prepared/ caught off-guard when they attacked later on today...

Timing is everything But if anyone can pull this off it's Shu

It would also be a chance to gain allies with other nations and perhaps convince the NWBOS to back away from the legion.... The legion invasion only planned on taking Arizona in the hopes that the NWBOS would not get involved or that if they did they would be supplied properly to deal with them.

Moore's mistake was to stretch the army too far. this time the troops will be supplied and have my full backing.

Leaving the Bear force one vetibird with small group of Veteran rangers Bodyguards and his counsellor/assistant Kelly Hopeway President James was met by a small crowd of NCR citizen which he happily mingled with as he slowly walked towards the Monorail scuttle. Meeting and chatting with Citizens would have to end once war was declared and the legion (properly) started sending assassins after him but for now he liked to meet the general public and get their views on things.

“Is it me or does something look off with the president?” One of the spectators asked his friend.

“Yeah I know what you mean... But it’s him isn’t... Has to be?”

The strip
After a short ride on the monorail The president’s group arrived at the strip where they were greeted by a personalized securitron with the cartoon face of a solider “President Kimball welcome back to New Vegas, Mr house has instructed me to guide you to the summit meeting at the Ultra lux.”

“The president knows where the Ultra Lux is and will make his own way there; a robot escort is not required.” Hopeway Barked at the robot. “However could you inform Van graffs representative that the president would like to privately meet them after the meeting. Thank you”

Leaving the robot where it was the presidents group slowly made its way to the Ultra Lux stopping a few times to briefly chat with the few people on the strip before reaching the Ultra Lux casino. Despite liking the strip overall the Ultra Lux was too... elitist for James taste, reminding him of the land owners back home....

Although they do have a nice fountain I guess.

Entering the Ultra Lux and disarming most of the rangers began to mingle in the casino as the president, Hopeway and his personal bodyguard made their way to the Gourmand with James telling the mask guy not to announce his arrival when he noticed it was only the legion and Van Graff there...

Skirt doesn't deserve it

Sitting down at his Seat James ordered a bottle of Rum & Coke as Hopeway, sitting next to James began to prepare some notes for him. Watching the rest of the delegates arriving James turned to the legionaries delegate... the “New” Caesar himself and that spy guy who wore a Jackal head as hat.

“Qui audet adipiscitur”
