Camp McCarren

Melanie suddenly felt terribly guilty...She didn't know the details but she had a feeling that she and Galv had done something very wrong by sneaking out into the Strip...Apparently their fathers went through hell to find them.

"I'm sorry....." Melanie managed softly "We didn't mean to worry you guys...We just wanted to be alone, without people trying to keep us here...Where did you guys go to look for us?"

Yeah, she noticed the bloody coat.

Rica hugged Melanie again. He was aware that he probably smelled of sweat and blood, but right now he did not care. He had been so terrified that Melanie was a prison of the Legion… and he did not want to think about what would happen to her then.

“I thought you had been taken.” Rica said quietly. Because Rica is Liam Neeson. He looked down at Melanie and frowned. “I… I thought I might not see you again…”

Rica was shaking now. “I… I couldn’t survive that, Melanie… if I lost you…”

He’s a good dad. A homicidal drunk sociopath, but a good dad.

“Umm...you two should probably get cleaned up...” Galv said after a moment, Samuel puling away from the hug with his son.

“Oh, uhhh...yah...” Samuel nodded, looking down. He was wearing a tattered pants now, the Legion armor he had put on for a disguise taken off earlier. Samuel was quietly thankful for the fact that, as a guy, he could get by without a shirt. Not that a twenty-something year old looking girl without a shirt wouldn't be turned away, but would probably get more attention then wanted.

“Melanie and I are fine,” Galv said, “We're nearly adults, we were in the Games...we can take care of ourselves...”

He'd wait to tell his dad that he and Melanie were engaged later.



“We might be able to get some stuff for you here,” Cess nodded, thinking it over, “I'd have to check. As for where Nanami meant, on a mission. I know the old man trusts you, he let me know before we left that you might be showing up. She went to the Strip, but she could have gone somewhere else by now. I sent another Rebel to go help her with something. He has a Pip Boy on him too, actually...”

Cess paused, thinking that over, “We might be able to send him a message on that, and hopefully get that to Nanami, to find out where they are.”

-Limo-

“I did say I would get you a secure location and supplies,” Gallic said, “Radios, yes...But I can't provide you with any PipBoys. What the Enclave have is in use. I simply can't get them for you. Money, of course, won't be a problem.”

He leaned forward for a moment, smiling, “And I will have someone working with you as well. To help be a liaison between you and me, and handling a few tasks.”

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah got out now, shaking his head and wringing out his clothes a bit, then pulled out his Stealth Boy.

“Alright then...Let's go...” he said, activating it, making himself mostly invisible. If you focused, or knew he was there, you could make out...something, that wasn't quite right, but for the most part, if he stayed quiet, they wouldn't be able to see him.

Lavan shrugged in a somewhat lost gesture, looking the way he came from.

"To tell you the truth, I am actually really surprised the old geezer decided to trust me that much. Sure, I am student of an old friend of his, but that really shouldn't give way to such deep trust... And while I don't doubt that he's a good judge of character, it's still strange to see someone trust that much these days. No offense meant, Cess, just... This world doesn't give way to trust that easily, you know?"

He smirked, turning his attention back to Cess and the guards (which still had their guns up, something Lavan took note of), and continued.

"So you sent a boy with one of the REALLY fancy gadgets onto a mission with Lady Negativity? Man, I almost feel sorry for him... And I am somehow feeling slighted that I'm not there, kicking ass and taking names as well. Still, I do need some heavier equipment if I'm to get anywhere, especially if I end up running into the... Legion, was it?"

Lavan wasn't on great terms with the legion. Due to the fact that the pyro's usual operations fell within the borders between the Enclave and the other territories, he ended up meeting a few patrols of Legion, NCR, and other factions before. He didn't endear himself to Legion in particular, freeing two full troops of slaves and sending the Legion's half-cooked asses running. He fully expected to meet them here in the wastes, and he didn't want to do so without some heavy-duty arms.

Melanie looked up at her father, frowning and biting her lip. "But dad....You don't have to worry about me...You saw it yourself, I can't be killed."

Somehow I don't think this will make Rica feel any better about the situation.

Rica shook his head, still looking down to Melanie. His face had turned serious again.

“You can’t think that way. You can NEVER think that way. I have no idea what the extent of my power is, and there’s no way to know exactly how it will manifest in you. There’s no guarantee that you can’t be killed, Melanie. You have to be careful.”

Rica had never looked more serious.

[Limo]

Connor frowned, but nodded. He supposed that this was unavoidable… but he still believe that he could put his plan into action. It was their only chance.

[Caesar’s Camp]

Soon the two had crossed the length of the island, and were at the entrance of the camp. There were several Legionnaires everywhere, quickly running around and cleaning up the damage from some battle that had happened.

Up ahead, in the distance, Nanami spotted a large red tent on the hill. It was likely Caesar’s. To the left was a path that led to a large metal structure.

Staying in the shadows, Nanami headed down towards the structure. There weren’t many people around the area, which was unexpected. From the other side of the camp she would hear a lot of noise.

“The Legion must be doing something. We’re lucky.” She whispered to Hammah.

Melanie stared up at Rica, her eyes wide as she stared at her father. While she hadn't known the man but for a short time, she could tell he was deadly serious...After all, he had lived as a teenager with the same ability as she. And he was a Victor. They related very well with either actually....She gave a small nod to the man, deciding to take his advice...

"O-Okay dad..." she said, biting her lip.

Limo

"What kind of liaison?" Chloe asked with a frown. She didn't like the idea of them having a babysitter, especially an armed one working for Gallic. While the man was acting like he was one of them (a rebel towards Autumn) she knew that was laughable. This man could kill them in a moment.

Rica let out a relieved sigh. He hoped that Melanie would listen to him and take his advice to heart. He looked down at her and smiled a bit.

“Thank you.” Rica said quietly. He decided not to tell Melanie (or Kanna) about the deal he had made with Caesar, or the fact he had threatened Peterson… in fact, he realized he and Samuel would have to figure some things out soon.

… but right now he was just happy to see Melanie was alive.

“You two behave now,” Samuel said, straightening up now, “Rica and I need to get changed.”

He glanced towards Rica. They were also going to need to talk about what they would do next. Caesar had nothing over them now...but they still thought their was a spy in the NCR midst...


Galv nodded, looking towards Melanie, taking her hand.

“What should we do now?” he asked quietly.



“I totally understand. But hey, if he can still trust people after all these years, it's got to mean that we can too, when we're that old, huh?” Cess said, grinning a bit.

“As for the kid, yah. He's the best guy we have for it. Technopath. Paired with a PipBoy, they're pretty hard to beat against anything with tech. Hopefully he'll be one of our aces in the hole when we finally go after the big brass in the Enclave. And if you want to take on the Legion, well, the NCR hate the Legion. I'm sure you can get some help,” Cess added, “Come on, let's head inside, and we'll see what we can do.”

He turned heading back inside, having the gate opening for them.

“So what exactly are you looking for?” Cess added.

-Limo-

“They'll be meeting you soon,” Gallic said, the limo coming to a stop now. “Along with your supplies.”

He waved his hand, the door opening by Connor. “Right up this path, it's where you'll be staying. Just basic supplies there. Take the rest of the night to relax and prepare. My agent will be there in the morning.”

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah followed along Nanami, staying as careful as he could, terrified that he would get caught.

Being a technopath wouldn't help him very much against the Legion...

“We need to get into that structure...” Hammah nodded, “I can...feel a lot of tech under the ground there...”

Lavan backed up to his bike, snapped the stand back into place and turned off the engine, leading the bike into the gates and after Cess. Pondering over the question, he thought for just a moment... Before nodding to himself.

"I need quite a few things, but some would be inaccessible at this point. I need a pair of laser gatling weapons, I need a few guns and ammo to go with them, and I need one of the Enclaves miniaturized infantry power packs to fuel the energy weapons with. I doubt I can get the power pack here, but the gatling weapons might be a possibility, and I definitely need a few guns. A pair of machine pistols, a pair of shotguns, a pair of pistols, some sort of rapid-fire weapon, and I also want to get my hands on a bunch of grenades and rockets and a launcher."

It definitely sounded like he was arming himself to the teeth. One wondered how he would pay for all that...

"I also need some tech parts to get this bike cleaned up and fixed up properly. Its engines are on the fritz, and I need a computer hub and a bunch of wiring, additional gadgets, mechanized valves, an electronic key... There's a LOT of stuff I'm looking for."

He grinned widely.

"Also, looking for that Nanami chicky-doo, but that's its own problem."

“There's no way you're going to be able to get those energy weapons here. The NCR has a pretty limited supply of them. They mostly stick to old fashioned kinetic weapons,” Cess said, shaking his head, “There's two places you could try. Either the Silver Rush, which is a shop in Freeside, by the Strip, but you'd have to come up with a lot of cash or caps for them, or the Brotherhood of Steel. They're also the ones you'd talk to about a power armor energy pack. But unless you want to head back to Panem, you're not going to get one from the Enclave.

“They keep their power armor under very tight wraps. It carries a signal that can negate the pylons on the wearer, letting them use their powers when others can't. We've been trying to get our hands on just one for years now, with no luck. They fry them if they even think we might get one,” Cess said, sighing, “And the Brotherhood stuff is mostly pre-Flare stuff that survived the world wide EMP, very little in modern day improvements...And, well, they might be part of the NCR, but I highly doubt they'd let you cannibalize one of their armors.”

Cess then grinned, “As for the rest of your supplies, there's more luck here. We can probably get you some stuff here, but if you want something really nice, we can go to the Gun Runner's, who do a lot of supply orders for the NCR. Either way we're probably going to be charged something. We are here to help the NCR, but they can't just throw resources at us until we've shown we can be effective. And I doubt they'd want to give all that stuff to one person. No offense, but the NCR aren't too fond of putting all their eggs in one basket.

“And then for Nanami...Well, she should be back before nightfall, or at least find a way to contact us by then. She can take care of herself.”

Rica sighed, and very reluctantly nodded to Melanie and turned away. He was still extremely emotional, which was rare for him. (Unless you count “drunk and aroused” as an emotion)

Rica stuffed his hands in his pockets and followed Samuel, waiting until they were alone.

“Well… now what do we do?”

[Limo]

Connor nodded. He really, really did not like this. It had been a mistake to trust Castor, and Connor was not about to repeat that mistake…

… but if he was working “for” Gallic, he might be able to save the Avoxes… and he might be able to get some information for the rebels.

[Caesar’s Camp]

Nanami saw the building ahead of them. There were two Legionnaires standing by the door, but they were the only ones who seemed to be in the area at the moment.

“… Okay. We need to hurry and take those two down. We can hide the bodies inside the structure… but we need to make sure they don’t make any noise.”

She turned to Hammah.

“I want you to walk over there and let them see you. When they ask who you are, I’ll get them from behind. Do you trust me enough to do that?”

Because Nanami is the picture of mental stability and you should totally trust your life to her.

Melanie smiled at Rica as he and Samuel walked off to get changed, the girl suddenly wondering why it never worked out between him and her mother (that explanation would probably take a whole other flashback scene). Although a bit creepy and rude at times he was very caring...Not to mention he liked to drink just about as much as Kanna did....They seemed like a perfect match.

“What should we do now?”

Melanie turned around to Galv, frowning a bit with a shrug. "Dunno....Not much we can do being forced to stay here...No hot tubs at least..."

Ha ha ha.

Limo

Sarai stepped out of the limo with the others, staying next to Connor and keeping his hand in hers. She was scared, like the others probably were...And anxious about the other Avox slaves....She knew that she just needed to lay down and force herself to relax.

Samuel sighed, running a hand through his hair, “Well I think we need to tell the NCR what we've learned. I don't see any reason to keep it a secret, since Galv and Melanie are okay. If they have a spy in here...That means they could be in danger...”



Galv blushed brightly, remembering the hot tub now.

“You say that like it's a bad thing,” Galv then said, still red in the face, moving forward to give Melanie a quick kiss, “Let's just steer clear of your mom for now...”

He did wonder where Kanna had gone now...

-Safe House-

Gallic smiled, waving them off as they all got out of the car. The driver nodded to them, handing Connor a key, pointing upwards towards the house, before the closing the door behind them and driving the limo off.

Edda frowned, walking up the path. There were trees all around, and even what looked like a garden...It was a nice, private house, and very good for privacy.

“I guess this is where we'll be staying...” Edda said quietly.

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah gulped, the nodded, “Okay...I'll do it...”

He moved towards the two guards...then suddenly appeared in front of them!

“Hey, who are you?!” one of them yelled, staring at Hammah.

“Errrr...Is this the gift shop...?” Hammah said lamely, holding his hands up. “I wanted to get a snow globe, for a souvenir...”

The two guards advanced on Hammah!

Lavan nodded, running over the list in his head a few more times, revising what he needed as he went. He left the bike off to the side inside the gates, and locked it down, following AGoI after he was done with the procedure, grinning wildly.

"So the Gun Runners also operate way the hell out here too, huh. That's actually pretty sweet." He dove into his pocket, fishing out his pack of smokes and lighting one for himself as he walked. "Didn't think they'd be all the way out here... Good thing though. I have purchased a few guns from them before, but never anything as concrete as what I'm planning to do today. Shame about the gatlings though, looks like my ride don't get pimped out until I can find some out in the boonies."

As they walked, Lavan made sure to look around carefully, taking in the sight of the old air base that the NCR used for their headquarters. The size was definitely impressive, and all the men in armor with guns certainly could put the fear of god into any normal man visiting, but Lavan just nodded happily to every one they passed, greeting them all too cheerfully for someone who was used to the harsh wastelands.

"As long as I can get my hands on stuff that explodes, I'm good. And money's not exactly a problem for me either. If you need to pick something up, feel free to do so on my account as well. I have a feeling we'll be working together for a while now, so I'd rather have my allies well-equipped and well-stocked."

He paused for a moment, before sighing melodramatically.

"And yet, even with all the guns in the world and all these people, why can't there ever be a decent eatery around? I swear, the food in the wastes tastes worse than protein rations."
