"Me and my partner can give you shelter, supplies and try to get your memory problems under control so you stop having the flashes and visions. Then, when we leave for The Commonwealth, we can take you to a safehouse and get you to safety. That's my offer."

“Interesting offer but here’s my counter offer.” James replied harshly pulled on the combat knife across Bishop throat, silting it in the process.

“Funny should mention ERRROR CODE 01001110 01101111 00100000 01110011 01110000 01101111 01101001 01101100 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110111 01100001 01101001 01110100 00100000 01110101 01101110 01110100 01101001 01101100 00100000 01101100 01100001 01110100 01100101 01110010 00100001 MEMORY FILE MISSING ABG-F11

“Plus I don’t exactly trust you.” James stated as he took Bishop’s shotgun “but with your mysterious death by the courser I should be able to get rosey to loosen her tongue about your railroad base.”

“But that’s enough story time, your dead.” James joked to himself as he pushed the dead or soon to dead Bishop over the barrier and into the foggy Far Harbour sea. Lighting up a Cigarette He watched as the Ocean slowly claimed another victim...

Much easier than burning them.

As he watched the ocean slowly drag the body way James noticed there were several seemlying broken but floating and thus seemlying fixable boats scattered around the dock. Perhaps a small team could use one of those boats to
reach the other side of the island and see what was going on with the atom people

Maybe scavenge per-world war 3 places for supplies too...

Hiding the shotgun behind some barrels James made his way back up to the front of the deck and looked around for Old Longfella who he discovered talking to the old git who been paraded through town earlier but had since then found some clothes to put on.

"Alright stranger I'll bite. Just what is 'The Brotherhood of Steel'?"

“A gang of Raiders LARPing as medieval knights.” James chuckled

“Sorry to interrupt your conversation Mr Longfella but I wanted to know who owns those boats out by the docks? I was thinking perhaps we could fix one up and then go and get some info on the atom fruitcakes.... perhaps find out what’s going on with them”

"Look I can help you. You say you're having memory flashes right? Visions and things that don't make sense. I've seen it happen plenty of times before. Alot of Synths go through the same thing when they first 'come to' and realize what they are.”

Assuming he’s telling the truth good to know it’s an “common” thing to happen

“So you know why does this happen?” James asked

“Sometimes the memory wipe doesn't take or the memory programming is faulty. If you know who The Railroad are, then you know we're dedicated to helping Synths. Just put down the weapons, and let’s talk man to man. Huh? No need for this to get ugly...I can help you."

and why would I do that?

“We can talk perfectly fine like this.” James said as he gently pushed (so not to cut... just yet) the combat knife against Bishop Throat “think of it as an extra execrative to tell the truth.”

“Now what exactly can you do to help me?”

As James stepped out of the Bar, he began following the Railroad Agent “Bishop” or whatever his name was. For a member of a radical underground group that was constantly afraid of being discovered he was surprising easy to follow unseen around town.

Granted the Naked old Git be paraded through town or Tour Guide Connie's “Date” with Steve may have distracted the agent but whatever it was James was able to tail “Bishop” as he made his way around town, briefly chatting with the general good store owner before making his way to the rear dock...
wonder what he asked for at the shop?

Alone on the far end of the dock and in what was the “shanty area” of town this would be perfect place to strike. Only people who may catch James where the Bums and low-life thugs and very few if any of them would probably care what James did to another mainlander.

And if they do some free Jet should shut them up.

Seemlying lost in thought James silently approach Bishop and dug both barrel of his sawn-off shotgun into the man’s back as he held his combat knife close to his neck in the other.

“Okay listen up railroad don’t move/shout or you’re be sleeping with the mirelurks tonight... ”James ordered as he dug the shotgun into his back to infosize his point.

“Every since I arrived on this mutated shithole of an island... I’ve been getting flashbacks.” James stated “I recall doing something like standing up to colonel Sutler but something seems off... like I didn’t do that and then I get other memories like freeing this little girl Susan Cooper from slavers which I don’t recall doing but it feels like I did....”

Especially when it seemlying happen 20 year ago.

“And to top it all off a Short while ago I got a message saying I’d been brainwashed... I don’t know if this is true or if someone is just messing with me either way once this shit with the atom fruitcakes is dealt with I plan to find out.”

“I don’t expect you’d know if I was brainwashed or sell-out anyone in the railroad who would know so I’m not even gonna brother asking.... but Doctor Amari in the memory den she is the one who performs the brainwipes for the railroad correct?”

Once we get off to Boston I can ask her about it but just need to confirm it...

Name: Captain James Williams of the enclave armed forces. 

Age: 36

Race/Gender: Male

Brief physical description or picture: ( vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/… )  Although Williams has for the most past aged well over the last 10 years in the wasteland he has gained several scars most notable a laser rifle burn covering his upper left arm and shoulder and a stab wound in his right leg.  His hair has also grown slightly longer and he now has a rough beard

Clothing/Armour/Weapons:

James wears a battle damaged set of Enclave officer armour; worn, dirty and used the suit is missing most of the left arm along with having an slash mark on right leg but the rest of the suit is mosty okay and intact.Over the armour James wears a Dark brown long coat (old Longfellow coat) and his enclave officer’s cap.  

For weapons James has a Plasma defender pistol and his boot combat knife EDIT: during the RP (on beth site) James purchased an sawn-off shotgun which he hides under his overcoat.

Brief Background:

Born in 2250 James William the 3rd was one of the first enclave children born once the enclave had made their joinery to the east coast and raven rock. Coming from a long line of enclave foot soldiers James grew up a loyal hard working member of enclave society and first member of his family to become an officer and under the tutelage of the framed colonel sutler himself. Things changed however shortly after his 21st birthday when Colonel Sutler orders the troopers to ruthlessly beat to death an old man who asked for water. The man may have been a mutant but he did not deserve that sort of death  

Growing disillusioned but not stupid or foolish enough to leave the Enclave James used his connections to get stationed at raven rock, hoping to avoid more of Sutler's slaughter . Fate however would have other plans when the kid from Vault 101 was set free of his cell... just when James was on duty.

Perhaps James should have just forced the kid back into their cell but No instead he decided to check out the kid story about meeting the president and paid the price by being reassigned to the frontlines... an acted that saved Williams life when Raven rock was destroyed.

Although perhaps a quick death would have been preferable to the next several years in which Williams fought in remnants of the enclave against the brotherhood and other wasteland scumbags who though the enclave would be easy pickings after the lost of two of there bases. This would last until roughly 2283 when James was badly injured in a fight with the brotherhood, Assumed dead by the brotherhood James decided to use this as a chance to begin again and headed up north to Boston eventually settling in good neighbour where he found work as repairman for a “skinny Malone” who had recently claimed a Vault and needed someone who could fix it.

Using his enclave education to fix up a Vault for some gangster wasn’t exactly James plan in life but it was better than rotting in some brotherhood jail especially since that Maxson [censored] took over.

Things where more or less going okay for James until last 2287 when not only did someone kill everyone in Vault 114 but the [censored] brotherhood showed up. Having told several people about his enclave past (although not necessary what he’d done) James decided to get the [censored] out of the town. Putting on his old armour to ensure he wouldn’t be shot as Spy James got on the first boat out of town... A fisherman going up north to some island called Far harbour. Arriving at the island James headed for the local pub to get a drink and decide to what to do.

"The Children of Atom?", Steve asked, a bit surprised. "We had some of them back in the Capital Wasteland when I was growing up. They were weird, but harmless, more or less. They are actually attacking the town?"

Megaton... To think I'd rather prefer that suicide spot compared to here.

“Yes... I...heard about Cromwell and his unexploded bomb but to answer your question, yes and no... They haven’t directly attack the town but supposedly they have been attacking and seemlying brainwashing people who leave the dock...didn’t happen to me though...”

Steve then introduced himself to Connie who briefly examined what had been happening and was able to do whilst also drinking whiskey.... If she didn’t speak with an awful accent perhaps she could get a job as tour guide.

Or would the accent help?

"Now as for the Children of Atom, “Mitch said, as he turned to the newcomer,” Nobody’s heard hide or hair of them for awhile now And I don't think these new brand of cultists have anything to do with our ol' pals in Atom. Smart money would be on those new ones having wiped them out. That's what I think anyway. I Gotta say too, not too many folks in town will shed a tear for them either."

“Or a radical part of the cult took over, wouldn’t be the first or last time some Nutjob with cult of personality around them forced their way into power... Just look at the brotherhood. "James chuckled “...oh wait you guys won’t know who they are.”

“Imagine a group of people hoarding and stealing per-world war 3 techs and then justifying to themselves by saying they are "protecting" people even when this is notable proven wrong when the enclave raid a village that the Brotherhood took it advance weapons from and probably... No did... made their final fates worst than what would have been...”

“Do really need to kill these people?”

“These things are not people they are mutated fifth who took what was left of American and fucked it up even more for their own selfish greed... Now you will shoot this pathetic Maggot or will shoot you solider!”

“Hello” A voice of an elder gentleman, one seemlying familiar to James seemly stated but looking around Bar James could not see where it was coming from

“Don’t be startled or brother looking around.... You have a computer chip inside your head, before you panic the chip is not harmful and is broadcasting this per-recorded message directly to your cochlea, so only you can hear this.”

“You have been the victim of Brainwashing, Presumably done By the group known as the railroad but if you are hearing this message our countermeasure has worked.... unlike the last time when it blew Charlie Richter’s fucking head off... god that was bloody...shit will have to edit that out.”

“Anyway if you haven’t already you will soon begin to have memory... “Flashes” this is your brain attempt to merge both sets of memories into one. If possible we advise do nothing straining or stressful for the next 24 hours until the process is over...

“But onto the main point. This message has been recorded so that you may know your true identify allowing to you to continue with mission or alternately return to base for a memory clean up.”

The message seemlying stopped only for another voice, this time an older women speak “Agent you are.....”

where it not a Busy packed Bar or the local people seemlying fascinated by Tour Guide Connie crush on the other “mainlander” Steve people may have noticed James had sat still for about 10 minutes as the recording revealed to James his true identity and reason for being on the island.

Although that was assuming the recorded message was to be believed or for James for that matter.... He couldn’t recall being implanted so anyone could have put this “computer chip” in there and was assuming James simply wasn’t going crazy from the fog.

need to find out more...

Although Luckily for James there was a way to get more answers as he turned his attention to the two “railroad” agents who had been quietly talking to themselves in one of the plank’s booths after returning to town but after seemlying agreeing to something both had left.

Finishing of the bottle of vim James looked a Mitch and said “I’ll be back.” Before getting up and leaving the last plank himself.

Leaving the Bar James began to follow the male agent (roll check?) and assuming he was not seen attempted to get jump on the man once they were out of site. (Roll check?)

OOC: I was thinking one roll check to see if James was able to successfully follow the guy and then assuming he was another roll check on whenever he could get the drop on the agent.

NCR Border camp Delta

On the NCR border with legion owned Arizona there were several camps, similar to the old Forlorn Hope camp in the Mojave but better supplied, arm and built (concrete building.) The biggest of these camps was Camp delta (ooc: Point 9 on the map!)

Built near the old Highway which allowed easier vehicle access it had been one of the key staging points for the decoy Arizona invasion but also the first target of the Ghost traders “cloud attack” but thankfully the mechanised division stationed at delta was able to repel the ghost people before any serious damage was done.

Despite this however several troopers had been infected by the “Cloud” following Agent walker’s advice these troopers had been isolated but with no cure there was little they could do...

“Err.. General Shu Sir! Some sort of tractor? Is approaching the Camp.”

Picking up a pair of binoculars Shu looked at the weird contraption approaching the Camp. It looked like an old old world tractor and seemlying steam powered compared to the more “modern” Nuclear powered per-war tractors than had been recovered and rebuilt within the NCR and a few other factions/groups.

“Must be the ghost people Walker spoke about, let them approach the camp and have Monroe escort them to the infected soldiers but keep first recon snipers on them at all times.” Shu ordered.

Still looking though the binoculars Shu then turned his attention to the poorly built “cart” that was being pulled by the tractor device. Several of the ghost people where sitting on it with one woman seeming controlling it with some of crude built wheel with an white flag flying above it.

Soon enough the 'thing' stopped near Camp Delta - and driver got off the vehicle. Waving at the local guards. "Hello there. We come in peace!" the woman spoke. "We're here to help with the Cloud problem, anybody whom has gotten affected by the Cloud and we also brought some medical supplies, food and weapons - as a sign of good faith."

“Greeting I am Captain Monroe of the NCR army.” An aged but still capable looking man stated as he approached the Ghost traders “If you will follow me I’ll escort you to the injured personnel and get some guys to unload your supplies.”

And also check them for more cloud... Just encase.

Following the Captain Christine and the other Ghost people where led around most of the camp and too a small isolated building just behind the main camp. Along with being outside the main camp this building was also notably wooden compared to the concrete/metal building in the main Camp nevertheless but did not look any less well built.

Heading inside there were several rows of beds with the NCR troopers affected by the cloud sitting on them as several NCR doctors walked up and down tending to their needs. One of the doctors noticed the ghost traders arrive and asked “do you have a cure for this virus?”

“Please, assist and treat the infected soldiers although afterwards General Shu would like to have a word with you about Joshua.” The captain stated.

ooc: After you treat the soldiers you can CC General Shu arriving.

Sorry but I'm RPing the NCR :(

Although to ask what's going on with the NCR, I Sent an Body double to the convention to basically piss off the legion and make them think we are invading Arizona. The double ask mocked an tribal warlord and was stabbed by one of her brainwashed follower/adopted daughter.

the double is also being influenced by the dark lord...

Miss Hopeway- NCR

“Hello, I’m David Morrison, Ambassador of New Dallas and the Confederation of Free Texan States”, his voice had pointed and harsh undertones “I’m wondering as to why the NCR did not not inform Texas of your impending invasion of the Legion? Few of our forces were prepared for this action, giving the Legion a clear opportunity to invade our frontier if they thought we were involved. Our trade routes to your lands are also surely threatened by your rash actions. Please explain.” He made no attempts at false grins.

“Of course.” Hopeway stated as he turned to one of the rangers nearby “could you please go and fine a representative from the keys.”

“Since this also affects the keys, I believe they should also be given an explanation.”

Once the Key representative arrived, sat down and offered refreshment Hopeway began. “On behalf of the NCR and president Kimball I apologise for not informing you of own plans but it was done to ensure both Texas and the Key could claim innocence and so that we could control the information Caesar gets...

As I’m sure you aware next to the brute strengthen of the legion Caesars next biggest asset are his Frumentarii spies, led by Vulpes Inculta.

The Fox..

“Without a doubt they likely have agents within all our nations feeding them information.... The NCR has decided to use this against them by spreading a "Fake news" Story...make the legion think the NCR are invading Arizona...”

a nationwide Fake news story...

“Mr Hornsby, the president TV speech, the Vice president statement, General Shu and all NCR news stations and perhaps yours News networks as well soon are spreading this story, "NCR invades legion to “safeguard" the NCR....

And made even more believable by people not knowing it’s false.

“In reality the Forces led by the president are a distraction, a distraction that appears to be working if the reports I’m getting are correct. Regardless whilst the president keeps Caesar busy second forces which crossed the ocean into Mexico a few days ago is now making its way north to New Mexico.

With Caesar forces busy fighting the president in Arizona and lack of information forcing legionnaires on the keys and Texan border to stay put this second strike force should have a straightforward path to Legion capital of Santa Fe... Raiding & looting town and hopefully freeing a considerable amount of slaves before any notable resistance or retreat can be mounted.

And humiliating the legion. .

What will happen next will depend on legion actions but we assume Caesar will attempt to regroup into an army to defend his capital. If he does both strike forces will aim to surround this group and attack from all sides....
Hopefully eliminating it with minimal loses.

"I would like make it clear here we have no plans to occupy legion territory... the goal is it weaken the legion, humiliate Caesar and perhaps if we are lucky start a Civil war.... “

Hopeway turned to David Morrison "when you arrived you mentioned trade. a Small group from the second strike force remained behind in Mexico and began to set up an trading port and scout out an path toward Texas and keys... enabling us to trade without having to venture though legion lands again."
[i]

"I don't want to promise yet but hopefully the travel time shall be lower for this new and shorter route, potentially allowing faster and thus more profitable trade between our nations well."

Agent walker- NCR

"I need to the current NCR representative immediately!" she spoke, when she spotted the room and the bodyguards outside it. When she got an answer, for her purpose here - she quickly exclaimed her reasoning.

“My name is Agent walker, NCR SR unit... as an member of an terrorist faction or Grade 3 Hostile foreign power you will have to speak me.... what do you wish to discuss.”

"There has been an unlawful attack on your state - by people whom weren't authorized to do such a thing. I hear also you been attacked by the Cloud. I am here to...help. To prevent a war from breaking out, to save my people and...to help clear the Cloud..."

“Yes we were attacked by the “cloud” but thanks to the mechanised division we were able to quickly repel the attack.... Like Mr Hornsby stated in the convention the NCR does not wish to start a war with the ghost traders but a price must be pay... NCR soldiers where killed.”

“Have the person or group responsible for the attack brought to the NCR along with a written explanation of what happened ... They will be judged by the NCR congress and if the NCR is satisfied with the account of events they will be punished for the attack and the Ghost traders will only have to pay an small amount of reparations to pay for the damaged caused."

“Before you say anything do you have technology to clear or counter this “cloud”? If so have it along with any research you have on countering the “cloud” affects brought to Camp delta on the NCR border. You may also send doctors to camp delta help the NCR personnel treat those affected by the “cloud.”

“Speaking unofficially.... This will be sign showing you do not endorse the attacks and should prevent the NCR congress from demanding reparations.”

“However you will be asked to break ties with the legion...”

Striking at Calypso’s Heart- the NCR.

The target, a tribal slave of calypso, the leader of Jade Empire was followed by Ranger team Six as she left the city and made her way to small clearing, sitting on an boulder she began to look up at the starts and was distracted when Team six adducted the woman.

Taken back into an NCR Ranger Safehouse located in the back of small armour shop owned by an semi-retired Ranger she was placed on a comfortable Sofa chair untied but with an Ghoul Ranger pushing her back down every time she attempted to stand. (Not that is matter with several other rangers in the room)

When she awoke the President double was sitting in a chair nearby and offered the woman a drink of water or Nuka cola.

“Hello, we didn’t personally meet earlier but my name is Alex Hornsby, the NCR president’s double and representative at the convention, I’m sorry we had to kidnap you but we did not think you speak to me otherwise... you’re name is Aponi is it not? The personal slave of False Chosen-one Calypso?”

Aponi refused to answer

“That’s fine; you don’t say anything I’m not her to question you about Calypso or her empire, sort of pointless with you being on the opposite of the county anyway... No I wanted to make you an offer, Freedom.”

“You see in the NCR we detest slavery of any and all forms, from super mutant Slave labour to Tribal house or personal servants as youself and I’m proud to state that over the last 80 years the hardworking men and woman of the New California rangers have successfully purged this evil from the lands of the NCR and are now working on eradicating it from the entire nation.”

“This brings us to you... wherevether like to admit it or not you have slave of calypso, perhaps a well treated slave with perks which most people in your area do not have but a slave nonetheless and whilst we cannot at this time help those being pointless sacrificed to Calypso's Made up god back in the jade empire, we can help you...”

“With your permission we would like to help you escape to the NCR, you will be given a housing, food & water, access to education and perhaps most importantly the freedom to live your life how you wish as a free woman.”

“You can of course refuse those offer and return to calypso, the door is right there, the rangers won’t stop you now that you have heard my offer.” Alex stated as he pointed to door “If you do decide to leave however just remember you may be calypso favourite pet today but that will not last...”

“And when you have lost her favour, for whatever reason it may be we will not be able to help you escape from whatever punishment calypso decides to inflict..”

NCR Border- repelling the Ghost trader’s foolish attack

As the president Tank made its way towards Phoenix when there was a radio call from NCR border, there had been some sort of “Death cloud” attack with zombie like people making their way though. Presumably this was an attack by the “Ghost Traders” who had foolishly decided to make their bed with Legion.

“Shit... Have the troops fall back and bring up some APC’s and Tanks to deal with the zombies fucker but avoid that cloud at all cost, especially if I think it’s what I think it is...”

Will have to build a fan or something and repel it...

Back at the NCR border it appeared to the legionnaires watching the “ghost traders” attack that the NCR ground forces, seemlying lead by General Shu were ordered to fall back, seemlying unable to deal with the cloud and the zombie-like ghost people who were attacking through it.

However then several NRC’s APC lead by a double barrelled Tank rolled up, staying just outside of the cloud range they began to fire at the ghost people who had little to no defence against cannon fire or high powered machine gun or way to counter them for that matter, with the gas bombs doing little damage to the NCR mighty armour.

Ensuring they stayed out of the cloud it was a only a few minutes of prolonged fire before the Ghost trader “invasion” was repelled with the only causality being one APC that got abit too close to the cloud had to abandon by its crew.

“Mr President this is general Shu, the armoured division seems to have... destroyed whatever those things where but now we have to deal with this cloud...”

Meanwhile in new Vegas- Alex Hornsby

After having his shoulder treated and hearing about the ghost traders attack he approached one of Mr House’s securitron with an aide . “Excuse, could you have it announced that the NCR have repelled the Ghost trader’s surprise attack, despite their use of some red toxic cloud, My aide can give you details of the attack if required.”

“Also do you know where the Arctic haven Mercs representatives are located? The NCR wishes to speak to them.”

Van graffs will be busy in Utah, need someone else to deal with cloud problem.

Meanwhile (again!) Outside of New Vegas, near the legion camp

Why was chosen for this dumb ass mission? Should of gotten my lazy fucking cousin to do it, fucker doesn’t do much now after his bounty office got shut down... bounty hunting stupid fucking job.

“Legionnaires.” The ranger called out as he approached the legion camp, with his pistol and rifle holstered and a bottle of whiskey in his hand “Yes I’m real but don’t worry I’m not here to start a fight, well unless you want a fight but should probably be brawl since I don’t Housey will like us bloodying his little kingdom.”

“Anyway as much as I like to discuss the plagiarism of the ancient Rome I understand the Khan Representative is chatting with your boss, I’d like to speak to them and give them a letter..”
