GREETING

{Studying player} Looks like we got a new visitor in the ol' Brahmin pen. {Beat} Not many people coming here in a hurry, only passing through.

{Sighs} And if you're passing through, you picked a bad time. Road north has gone to hell, and if I let a caravan through, they won't make it.

Appreciate the help. Wish I had more work for you, but nothing else on the radar at the moment.

Something else you needed? I'm short-handed here.

Any luck up by the track?

Any way I can help?
|
Neutral 50

{Appraising player} Help? No, look, I apprec... {Beat} You know, what, yes, I could use the help. And you look like you can handle yourself.

I need to get the caravans moving again, that means clearing a path north. There's too much crawling the asphalt up the road to allow it.

Never mind. I'll be going now.
|

Take care - cool your heels over in the barracks, if you want.

|
Sounds like a deal.
|
Neutral 50
|
Thanks, I appreciate it. Come back here when you're done, I might accidentally "lose" some supplies to pay you with.
|
10
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic003
|
No thanks.
|
Neutral 50
|
{Smiles} At least you asked. More than some that pass through here.
|
11
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic005
|
Not yet.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, if you can help, I'd appreciate it. Need to get these caravans moving.
|
12
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic007
|
You sure seem like you have enough soldiers.
|
Neutral 50
|
Soldiers, no, recruits, yes. And the Mojave Outpost has been ordered to have a standing force at the NCR perimeter at all times.
|
13
|
| Neutral 50
|
So sending anyone out reduces the Outpost's numbers and would be in direct violation of my orders from back West.
|
14
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic008
|
Is NCR sending more troops?
|
Neutral 50
|
Sending more troops, yes, to reinforce the Outpost, no. Troops head through here on their way to McCarran or to the frontlines at Forlorn Hope.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
Or they're on leave, on their way to New Vegas to piss away their pay. All of them, passing through.
|
16
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic009
|
You sound frustrated.
|
Neutral 50
|
Frustrated? No. I have my orders - signed, and approved all the way up the chain from Kimball. And I understand the reasons.
|
17
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Outpost isn't a Legion target, yet, not like Vegas or the Dam - but if the caravans get choked here, that's going to bite NCR hard.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
Anyway, didn't mean to talk your ear off. Some days... just feel like more requisition forms and daily reports come across my desk than results.
|
19
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic012
|
I have evidence of a caravan conspiracy.
|
Neutral 50
|
What is it? Let me see.
|
20
|
| Neutral 50
|
All right. This is... this explains a lot of the lost caravans. I thought it was Legion work, but...
|
21
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014
|
Can you get it to the right people?
|
Neutral 50
|
No. No, I can't. Because this evidence might be true... but it doesn't just implicate them.
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's a motive for what happened up North, someone went cruising through both compounds, killed them all.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'm guessing that was you. If so, you're not leaving this outpost except in chains.
|
24
|
| Can you get it to the right people?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Cold} I can, if you make me a promise.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Cold} I need you to swear you won't take revenge on Gloria or Alice. If you do, then your case is over, and we can't see that justice is done.
|
26
|
| Neutral 50
|
I know some things are hard to let go, but you and Miss Cassidy need to understand that, hear me?
|
27
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015
|
You have our word.
|
Neutral 50
|
That'll have to do. {Beat} God, what a mess. People turning against each other when the Mojave's at risk of falling?
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
If the Republics sinkhole-progress doesn't kill us, greed will. {Beat} Thanks for bringing me this, I know revenge must have been tempting.
|
29
|
| Neutral 50
|
For what it's worth, I appreciate you didn't shed any more blood. We need to save our strength for the Legion.

|
Sure... no problem.
|
Neutral 50
|
Hmmm. All right - you change your mind and start shooting, then I can't help you. Show up here after, I'll put you in chains.
|
34
|
| Neutral 50
|
Get on now, I'll make sure this gets West and let the wheels of law start turning in the courts.
|
35
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic017
|
If you can promise it gets where it needs to go.
|
Neutral 50
|
I can promise that, what happens after... {sighs} not even God himself could move the Congress in or out of session. And this... this is a tricky matter.
|
36
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic018
|
You're welcome.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll do what I can - and those folks that got killed need to be answered for.
|
37
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic021
|
You mentioned a reward before?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, I mentioned you might accidentally get supplied, and I meant it. Not allowed to contract mercenaries at the Outpost.
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
Still, a requisition form or two can get lost, and they're not going to come check... so here you go, just between us.
|
39
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic023
|
[NCR] I'm here to assist.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, about time we got a soldier... and not a recruit, you look like you've seen some action.
|
40
|
| vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic025
|
I'll be going now.
|
Neutral 50
|
Come back when you've made some progress.
