Sarai gave a little breath of relief, pushing back some of her stray hair behind her ear with her free hand. "That's g-good....Because it's re-really not all it's c-cracked up to be....Umm killing I m-mean."

Sarai had unwilling first hand knowledge of this. But she was also proof that killing someone wouldn't turn you into a heartless monster.

Connor frowned. He had forgotten that Sarai had killed someone in the past… it was difficult to imagine Sarai as being a killer.

“… Sarai…”

He sighed, and hugged her again. “Why don’t we go relax?”

Sarai nodded, deciding to push away the feeling of worry and try to focus on getting Connor to do the same...Though she had never had a boyfriend before Connor so she wasn't sure how well she would accomplish helping the boy-

Wait. They were dating....Right? She wasn't sure if they had ever said it...Officially. Of course Connor had told her that he loved her, and they kissed a couple of times-

"W-When we go h-home, can I c-c-come home with you?" she whispered to the boy, assuming for some reason that the boy would be going home even without his parents.

Connor paused as Sarai whispered about them being able to go home together. He paused, unsure of what he should say. He hadn’t even thought about going home.

“Of course you can.” Connor said with a small smile, taking Sarai’s hand. “But… we can’t go back to Panem. I don’t have anything waiting for me there, and the Enclave wants to kill us…”

Connor then tried to smile. “Still… we can start a new life together.”

“Still...being under the NCR would be preferable to the Enclave, or the Legion...But I still believe that it would be better if the people were allowed to pick themselves up, instead of the NCR taking what they want from us...They are already stretched thin as it is...” Old Man Sensei said to Nanami.

“Now you should finish eating and rest. You have three days to get who you want and find some volunteers. And if you run into Lavan, tell him I'd like to talk with him.”



Galv smiled towards Melanie, reaching his hand towards her's and holding it now. He knew that they could do this. And they'd both make sure to keep the other safe...



Erin went quiet when Kanna appeared, not liking the woman, staying close to Jason.

She then paused...leaving...Jason couldn't leave! Erin grabbed Jason's arm, holding tightly, whimpering slightly.

“I’m not about to let the NCR take over Panem. Simply being better than the Enclave isn’t enough. We need the people to actually have a future. The NCR is more concerned with eliminating their enemies than freeing the people.”

Nanami sighed, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall. She looked over to OMS and sighed.

“… Yeah, okay. I’m going to find the volunteers and make sure they’re ready. I’ll ask some of the Tributes, maybe they’ll be as eager as I am to help topple Gallic.”

Sarai wanted to go back to Panem, after all she had one been from there herself and perhaps still had family scattered around, but she understood why they were not able to...At least no time soon. She was just happy she wouldn't have to live on her own trying to figure out how to just be a regular member of society. Connor would be there to help her...

“Still… we can start a new life together.”

Sarai blushed and looked down at her feet. "I....W-Would like that..."

[...]

Jason blinked, feeling a sudden pressure on his arm, thanks to the death grip of Erin. He looked down at her, noticing the absolute terror on her face....All because Kanna suggested they were leaving?

"Don't worry Erin...You can come along too if you want-"

"No she can't" Kanna said, narrowing her eyes "She's crazy"

Ironic that Kanna is the only woman that notices that Erin is crazy.

Jason groaned "Don't listen to her" he told Erin

Time Skip!

Three days later, and the Vertibirds had landed in Camp McCarren, far to the west of Panem and the Enclave, the base of operations for the NCR in New Vegas.

Here the Rebels would be off loaded, those that came for one reason or another. A monorail connected Camp McCarren to the NCR Embassy, which in turn would bring one out into The Strip, a place where the slots ran all the time, and you could win or lose your fortune with a throw of the dice.

On the strip where a number of places to shop or gamble, all on the New Vegas Strip.

-Camp McCarren-

Galv and Melanie would still be at the camp, currently the safest place in New Vegas under the NCR control.

Galv stayed close to Melanie, looking around and keeping hold of her hand. By them were some other teenagers as part of their cover and 'guard duty' of a sort, which included Maize, along with Edda as a guide for them, having been to New Vegas several times before with his parents.

Along with anyone else who the others want in that group.


An older man with graying brown hair stepped towards the Rebels, a decorated combat veteran, stopping in front of Nanami, holding out his hand.

“Name's General Peterson,” the man said, “The NCR brought me out here to help deal with the coordination efforts. You must be Nanami Nomura, it's good to meet you. Heard the Old Man trained you personally. Old guy doesn't seem to be able to quit, does he?”


Ethan frowned a little, feeling nervous around the NCR soldiers. For a lot of his life, they were the enemy, and while they weren't giving him any eye, having no reason to know he was former Legion, he was still unsure.

He glanced towards Kanna, and undoubtedly Rica who was there as well.

“This place is very secure, at least...” Ethan remarked. He remembered trying to come up with plans to storm this place, but could never come up with anything that didn't result in a massive loss of troops to the Legion...

New Vegas

New Vegas was an exciting and dangerous place to be, with temptation and trouble around pretty much every corner. Of course Melanie wasn't seeing much of that...She and Galv would be staying at Camp McCarren, constantly surrounded by people protecting them. While Melanie understood the need to keep them safe it was already getting a bit annoying.

But there was nothing she could do except follow along, gripping Galv's hand tightly.

Kanna followed behind, staying quiet but looking around. She still wasn't sure that bringing Melanie here was a good idea.

“This place is very secure, at least...”

"It better be...I expect someone will be watching Melanie at all times?"

"Calm down Kanna, Mel will be fine" Jason muttered, walking along as well, staying close to Erin.

[Camp McCarren]

Nanami nodded to the General and shook his hand. She was her usual anti-social self, but she had to be nice with an NCR General – the rebellion did still need their help.

“He doesn’t know how to quit. It’s why we’ve lasted so long.” Nanami said, with a sigh. She looked up to Peterson and crossed her arms.

“I’ll need a complete intel report on New Vegas. I know the NCR has an Embassy on the Strip, but I’m unfamiliar with the city. I need to know who the major players are.”


Rica was looking around the room with some interest. He felt odd to be around soldiers. In Panem, the only soldiers were the Peacekeepers – and the nicest Peacekeeper was still a serious problem.

“Let’s hope so.” Rica replied to Ethan. He paused. Ethan seemed a little off, although Rica had no idea why. “Something up?”

Ethan paused, considering commenting to Kanna that Melanie probably would have someone with her at all times...that person being Galv, but decided not to, instead turning his attention to Rica.

“No...just...memories,” Ethan said. “Nothing to worry about.”

He shrugged a little, not wanting to talk about his Legion past...at least not with Rica.

“They're going to need to have Galv and Melanie out in the Strip too, for some promotional things,” Samuel added, stepping forward. “But I doubt they'll bring them out anywhere else.”

Thus ensuring Galv and Melanie are going to try and sneak out into Freeside and the like.


Erin stayed close to Jason, staying quiet as she looked around, attached to his arm.



Galv kept close to Melanie, trying to keep her comfortable. They had been spending a lot of time together the past few days, and disliked how they were usually surrounded by other people, or having to do things. Both had wanted just to spend time with the other...but it seemed like that would still have to wait.

“Hopefully this will be over quickly, Melanie...and we can try and have a more normal life...” Galv said quietly to Melanie.



“Of course,” Peterson said, “Obviously the big player on the Strip is House. He controls the Three Families. The Omertas, the Chairmen, and the White Glove Society.

“We have an in with the Omertas, a receptionist there owes the NCR a favor. For the Chairmen, we haven't gotten much. Their current leader is a guy named Benny, who seems to disappear for up to a month at a time in some cases.

“For the White Glove Society...We haven't been able to figure out a lot. There's many different rumors about them, and figuring out the truth from fiction has proved difficult. Someone new might be able to figure out more.

“Regardless, the Strip is protected by House's Securitrons. Soldiers of the NCR aren't permitted weapons there, and inside the Casinos they take the weapons off of others,” Peterson continued.

“There's a few other shops and places on The Strip, but they're not important. Finally, Lucky 38 itself. It's where we believe House is...but no one can get in. We've never seen anyone come in or out for as long as we've been here. Whenever House talks to us, it's through a screen on one of his Securitrons.

“Finally, outside The Strip is Freeside. A lot of drifters, and you'll have to move through that to deal with the other targets,” Peterson finished.

Nanami nodded to Peterson, and she leaned against the wall for a moment, deep in thought. Her mind was churning as she analyzed the new information Peterson gave her.

“… Okay. We’ll need to gather as much intel as we can on the Three Families. If House is removed from the picture, they’ll likely vie for control. It could get extremely violent. If the NCR tries to take control, it could turn the whole city into a bloodbath.”

Nanami knew that she was really only here to remove House and Caesar… but the reason the rebels had agreed to help was so the NCR could help them remove the Enclave; if the NCR got stuck in a violent struggle for Vegas, their army could be tied up for a while.

“… We also need to figure out the Securitrons. House controls them now, but what happens when he’s gone? If the Three Families get their hands on them…”

[…]

Connor looked around the room. He had volunteered to come and serve as a medic for the team. He also wanted to repay the rebels for all of their help.

He was impressed by McCarren. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Camp McCarren

"Yeah, hopefully..." Melanie said softly, holding Galv's hand tightly and shivering slightly. Upon arriving to New Vegas Melanie was given different clothing to help blend in. While her new clothing was practical, she was really starting to miss her fur coat...No matter how gaudy it looked. She didn't like to be cold.

[...]

Close to Connor, Sarai sat and stared at her lap as she listened to Peterson about their new location. She had come here for Connor, to make sure he didn't end up doing something he would later regret.

Like Sarai, Chloe had come to New Vegas for Connor. But she was standing across the room, leaning against the wall and chewing on a toothpick.

Because love triangles are fun.

Connor did not notice the way Chloe was glaring at him. He was still pretty oblivious, thinking that things were fine between the three of them.

He looked over to Sarai and smiled.

“Maybe we can see New Vegas… I’m sure there’s some sights to enjoy.”

He paused. “Oh, we should bring Chloe with us! It might be dangerous, and I’m sure she’d like to come.”

I’m going to make this love triangle as much fun as possible, damn it.

When Melanie shivered, Galv moved closer to her, pulling her towards him, letting himself warm up with his powers to keep her warm.

“There you go, is that better?” Galv asked, then looked back towards the others.

“Don't Melanie and I get to see anything or tour around either?” Galv wondered.



“Umm...I might be able to help there...”

Hammah stepped towards Nanami and Peterson, looking sheepish, “I'm...a technopath. I can control machines. If I can get into the Lucky 38...I might be able to take control of the Securitrons from there...”



“If you're going out, I can show you around. I've been to Freeside before,” Edda spoke up, towards Connor and Sarai, “Be good to see how things have changed...”

Plus, his parents might be there...And he was missing them. But he didn't want to mention parents in front of Connor.
