Rica frowned.

“… We already asked for the spy they have captured. They’re going to know we were going to screw them over, and I think I already made a bad impression on Peterson. They might throw us in prison.”

[Safe House]

The house may have looked nice, but Connor hated it. As far as he was concerned, anything given to them by Don Gallic was terrible.

Still, they needed to do what they could. He immediately moved close to Sarai’s ear and whispered.

“We need to be careful about what we say. This place could be bugged.”

Then, in turn, he walked over to Chloe and whispered the same thing to her, and then did the same to Edda.

[Caesar’s Camp]

As the guards approached Hammah, Nanami snuck around the side. She rushed forward and immediately impaled one guard in the throat with an icicle. As he fell, the other guard turned and Nanami threw her hand over his mouth and slashed his neck.

Nanami watched them drop and simply shook her head. She didn’t seem to feel anything over it anymore.

“Help me drag them inside.” She said to Hammah.

Poor Hammah.

Melanie smiled and nodded, taking Galv's hand and leading him towards the tent she had been resting in before, back when she was still recovering. It was small and mostly empty, but Melanie was okay with that fact right now. She sat down on her cot and looked at the boy, patting the spot beside her. "You'll stay here right? I mean surely your dad wont mind after everything that we've been through"

Safe House

Chloe nodded as Connor whispered in her ear, the girl walking a few steps ahead before turning back to the group. "I think i'm going to knock down a couple of trees out back or something...You guys go on in without me, I need to work off some energy"

AKA Chloe needed to pretend Gallic was a tree and hit him. A lot.

Sarai merely nodded at Connor, looking exhausted.

-Camp McCarren-

“You could try the Silver Rush for the gatlings, but between you and me, I get a bad feeling from them,” Cess said, “I've been out this way before, doing some scouting and looking for supplies for the Rebellion a couple years back. Poked in on them...Not nice people.”

Being able to turn invisible and intangible was quite helpful for scouting.

“I'm good on supplies,” Cess said, motioning to the guns on his belt, “I don't like carrying a lot. I prefer stealth over firepower.”

He had a couple knives on him as well, of course. “But thanks for the offer. I'll bum a grenade off you if I ever need one.”

Cess then laughed at Lavan's mention of food, “Oh yah, tell me about it. The NCR has been having troubles here too. Their oven and other things were on the fritz when we showed up. Thankfully that Hammah kid managed to fix it, so we're getting some decent meals. Same things the soldiers eat, but not bad now that they got something besides beans and raw veggies.”

He then tilted his head towards some doors, “We can buy some supplies from the NCR over this way. Then we can head to the Gun Runners, then the Silver Rush if you want to try them.”



Samuel frowned, “What are they going to think? We're two dads who were terrified our children were in the hands of Caesar. Besides...we know Galv and Melanie are safe now. If we can show the NCR that we have some information, and let them deal with it...”

He sighed, “Besides...what if there is a spy here, and tells Caesar that Galv and Melanie are here? He might get ordered to kill them, or capture them... I'd rather take a loss of trust then risking them...And I know you would too.”



Galv sat down next to Melanie, smiling at her.

“Of course I'll stay here with you,” Galv said, “I wouldn't think of going anywhere else...”

He leaned forward and gave her another kiss, “It's not the room with the hot tub, but anywhere with you is the best place around.”

-Safe House-

Edda rubbed his chin, “I can test for that...”

He patted his case. “But I wouldn't be surprised if it's not. I mean...Gallic would need someone to monitor it, right? More people to watch us and keep track of what we're doing. And I get the feeling Gallic is someone who doesn't care if we plot against him...”

Edda frowned, walking inside and putting the case down, opening it up, then revealing the secret compartment. He produced a small, hand held device, and turned it on, moving it around the house.

After a few minutes he returned.

“It's clean,” Edda answered, “Well, there's security cameras outside, but nothing inside.”

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah gulped, staring down at the dead body. He wished that Mister Gutsy was here, then he could have the robot move the body for him.

Gingerly he leaned down, hefting the body and pulling on it, dragging it towards the door.

[Safe House]

Connor nodded. He trusted Edda, and believed him when he said the house was clean from bugs. Connor sighed and walked over, sitting down on one of the couches. He looked to Edda and Sarai (and Chloe, if she was back from punching the tree by now) and slowly he began to speak.

His face fell and he looked down at his shoes. “… I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I’m the one who stabbed Ryan, I’m the one who agreed to Castor’s plan… and I’m the one who got us all into this… but I’m going to get us out of it.”

Connor looked up at them. “Gallic wants us to work against Autumn, right? Fine. We will. But we’ll also be working against him in secret. I’m sure he expects us to do just that… but he also doesn’t think we’re a real threat, or he would have just killed us.”

He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “But… we can do this. All we need to do is find a way to secretly contact the Rebels, and make sure Gallic or his babysitter doesn’t know. If we can do that, we can take down Autumn, and Gallic, and save the Avoxes.”

[Caesar’s Camp]

Once the bodies were inside, Nanami shut the door tightly and locked it. She knew that Caesar and his lieutenants probably had keys, so she looked around the room and spotted a rather heavy looking shelf.

She dragged it over in front of the door and dropped it down. She doubted it would buy them much time if anyone discovered they were in here, but it might get them some.

“Okay Hammah. You’ve got the Pip-Boy. See if you can get that computer online.”

She pointed to an old computer terminal against one of the walls.

[Camp McCarren]

Rica frowned. Samuel was right, but he still felt uneasy.

“… Hopefully the NCR understands. I’m not sure they’ll really care how scared we were for the kids if they think we would have actually worked against them.” He frowned. “God, I could use some vodka.”

He had agreed to get sober for Melanie’s sake, but at the moment that promise was getting very hard to keep.

“Well, I doubt they have any Pylons here, so worst come to worst…”

Safe House

Sarai moved beside Connor, taking a seat on the couch and watching him as he explained the plan.....It sounded risky, after all double-crossing Gallic was no small feat, but it all seemed worth it in Sarai's head if they were able to save her fellow Avoxes....

"Surely there's someone in the Capital that could send a message out for us. I refuse to think that we're truly alone out here." Chloe said, walking in and cracking her knuckles.

Camp McCarren

Melanie smiled, accepting the kiss before leaning back in her cot and staring up at the celing "What do you think our dads did to try and find us?" she asked with a little frown. They did look pretty worse for the wear....

Connor looked up to Chloe as she appeared. He wondered about what she said. Could they have some friend in the Capitol? It seemed unlikely. The Capitol seemed firmly in the grips of the Enclave.

“Maybe… but I don’t know how we’d find some aid in this city. I’m sure the rebels have some spies, but I don’t know where we could find them.”

Connor frowned, staying close to Sarai. They needed to come up with something.

Lavan snickered, spinning around and walking backwards as he talked to Cess, gesticulating wildly and accentuating everything he said with either a facial expression of wild hand gestures. Excitable was not even a word that fit the description, he seemed downright manic... In a very oddball, fluffy-happy sort of way.

"I love stealth as much as the next guy, but let me tell you, it's a lot easier to sneak around people when they're trying to roll on the ground to put out flames. That or sneak past dead people. Either one works just as well as the other. However, I do like to keep myself relatively well-equipped, and usually carry a lot of junk in a backpack. It's a bit cumbersome sometimes, but no one complains when I have to make a cluster bomb to take care of a too-well-guarded position."

The redhead wasn't even trying to be quiet or peaceful. His energy seemed absolutely boundless as he kept twirling around Cess, looking at this, smirking at that, chuckling to himself at an expression one of the local guardsmen made, and generally making an absolute fool of himself and loving eery second. At the moment, he didn't seem like he had any skills or competence whatsoever, and he would have probably been dismissed out of hand as no threat by the newer recruits and those not used to seeing under the surface.

Under the surface though... Well, the image could be pretty scary.

As Cess made quick way to the weapons cache inside the main building, Lavan kept up some of his incessant babble, asking curious questions, making strange statements, and generally trying to distract as many people as he possibly could with strange and inane quotes. So it was no wonder that the walk to the requisitions office seemed much shorter, since Lavan knew how to engross someone in conversations. The moment they arrived, he flashed past Cess and to the barred window, looking inside.

"Perfect. I already see a few things I need. Shopkeep! I need stuff, and..."

He pulled out a small bag, pulling out a trio of very, very shiny yellow tabs from it. They were 10-gram slabs of pure gold, something that was incredibly rare these days, and still sold for a pretty penny. And as others gawked, he began to shop around...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which lead to the current situation, with Lavan carrying an entire duffel bag's worth of crap out of the shop, grinning like a loony.

"Well, that was a good run! Didn't get the fancy energy weapons I wanted, but I never expected them to have some of the booster pieces remaining. Now that I've got those, I can finally finish up the bike rig!"

He spun around, walking backwards again.

"Say, Cess, when do ya figure I can get in tough with this Nanami character and join their little party of fun?"

-Safe House-

Edda sighed, looking away from the three for a moment, then turned back to them.

“I already promised to tell Chloe this...but I should tell the rest of you this as well. I haven't been entirely honest with you all...” Edda said, “I am from the NCR, yes...but I volunteered for a mission to try and get into Panem, to try and assassinate Gallic, Autumn, and anyone else in the Enclave positions of power. They thought because of my age, experience, and the fact I don't have any abilities, I would stand a better chance then someone else.

“Obviously...that didn't go over so well. I got captured and they put me into the Games, where we met...” Edda continued, “The NCR should have some possible contacts I might be able to talk to...It's iffy though, but it might help us out...But it could also backfire and get us all in a lot of trouble, and jeopardize anyone we come into contact with...”

-Camp McCarren-

“...We can lie...” Samuel said, after a moment, “We don't have to tell them that we learned this because of Caesar telling us to kill that Legionnaire...”

Samuel frowned, thinking, before speaking again.

“We found a Legion camp looking for Galv and Melanie when they went missing. We destroyed, that's all true. We'll just say that from there one of the soldiers talked about a Legionnaire the NCR had captured would know where any powered captures would go, so we came back here...And from that we realized, how would the Legion know the NCR had a Legionnaire captured? It's...mostly true...” Samuel said.



Galv laid down next to Melanie, smiling at the girl, then paused, thinking.

“I don't know...but whatever they did...I...I guess I'm glad they'd put themselves into danger like that for us,” Galv said, “I hope I can do the same if I ever have to, when we have a kid...”

Galv paused, then blushed brightly. They had, a little, talked about it, but nothing more then vague “Someday we'll get married and have a family” stuff...



“Well since I don't think you want to hang around here and just wait for her to show up, we can try contacting her on her portable radio, but she might have it off. That, or Hammah's...His Pip Boy has one built in,” Cess answered. He pulled out his own radio, clicking it on and looking it over.

“Yah, Nanami's radio is off. Let's try Hammah's,” Cess said, then called...

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah frowned at the computer, running his hand along it, then shook his head.

“No, no connection...but...” Hammah turned, looking towards the large device not too far from the door, walking over to it.

“Here...but...It needs...a key...a code. I might be able to break it...but...”

He leaned in. An indent on the device...about the size of a poker chip...

Then a voice from his left!

“Hello?”

Hammah spun, then paused, realizing it was coming from his Pip Boy. He messed with a couple buttons, and the voice came clearer.

“Hello? Hammah? This is Cess. Is Nanami with you?” Cess's voice called out.

Connor looked up at Edda as he told them who – and what – he really was. Connor’s eyes widened. So Edda was an agent of the NCR! That changed everything, and quickly Connor started to get excited.

“Edda… that’s great! The NCR and the rebels are friends, right? So… if you could find an NCR contact, then maybe they can get us in touch with the rebels!”

Connor’s mind was moving quickly.

“Okay… okay, we CAN do this… but… but first we have to decide what our most important goal actually is.”

Connor paused. “… I…” He looked over to Sarai. “I want to save the Avoxes. That’s the most important part of this for me…”

[Camp McCarren]

Rica paused. Then he smirked, and clapped Samuel on the back.

“Now that’s sneaky as hell Sammy! I like the way you think.” Rica grinned. “Alright, let’s go see what Peterson has to say…”

[Caesar’s Camp]

Nanami paused as she heard the voice coming from Hammah’s Pip-Boy. She quickly ran over, recognizing the voice of Cess. He was someone she had counted on many times, and one of the few people who she trusted.

She grabbed Hammah’s arm and held the Pip-Boy up so she could speak through it.

“Cess? What’s going on? Look, I’m a little busy at the moment…”

Lavan leaned over Cess's shoulder as he started to thumb through communications, trying to find the right frequency. One was off, apparently, and Lavan huffed in annoyance that the girl whom he was supposed to be helping didn't have her communicator on, but Cess didn't seem worried and just moved on to a different frequency.

"Portable communications are always so much fun. If only we had those nifty military earpieces, that would have made things SO much easier!"

As Cess continued to tune his radio, Lavan had already pulled out a few things from his bag and was starting to tinker on his bike. With a wrench in hand, the redhead dove into the job with a single-mindedness and fervor that matched quite a few mechanics and zealots, with the accompanying sounds from metallic clanging, creaking, and ticking as the motorcycle shaped up.

Cess got in contact with Hammah at just the moment when Lavan was already attaching four additional fuel tanks to the bike, and these were not for the standard gasolene this bike ran on.

"... Huh? You get it working? Awesome!"

He paused in mid-construction, hopping over to Cess and again peeking over his shoulder.

"... We on?"

Nanami paused at the second voice that came through the Pip-Boy. She recognized that voice from… that day. It was Lavan, that overly excitable boy who had saved her when she lay bleeding after her confrontation with her father.

“… Lavan? Is that you?” Nanami asked, looking down at the Pip-Boy. “Why are you in New Vegas? Don’t tell me the Old Man sent you!”

Lavan laughed in response, snatching the radio from Cess's hand.

"Awww, fine, guess I won't tell you."

He paused for a second, his head running through exactly what she said and asked, before finally formulating the proper answer.

"And DAMMIT, WOMAN, don't reveal my name so flashily to people who call me by my awesome self-styled one! Oh well, too late for that, the train has flown."

He let out an annoyed huff, glaring at the radio. He suddenly looked up at Cess and nodded.

"Yeah, you can use that name for me if you want. Just... Don't go spreading it around too much. I have a lot of effort invested in my Strudel name."

Nanami just shook her head. Lavan had not changed at all from how she remembered him. She thought part of his obnoxious nature might have been delusions from her blood loss.

“Keep your damn voice down!” Nanami snapped into the Pip-Boy. “Hammah and I are in enemy territory, and if I get shot because of your shouting I’ll make sure to pay you back ten times over.”

Nanami shook her head.

“Why are you here? And why are you calling Hammah and asking for me?”

Lavan put the radio down next to his work spot, beckoning Cess to take a seat as he dove under the motorbike he was working on, speaking to the side into the radio. The moment he heard "enemy territory", he figured he best start finishing the tune-up as quickly as he possibly could.

"If I'm too loud, you can always use the volume control, you know."

A little burst of flame came from under the bike, before sparks began to fly out from under the machine as Lavan began to weld something.

"Actually, I wasn't the initial caller. This dude with a pair of guns, Cess is his name I think, is the owner of the calling radio. I just ended up joining with him a little while ago, and we've stocked up on some goodies." Another click and another set of sparks began to shower from underneath the bike, never quite reaching the radio. "And you're right in your initial thought. The old man decided to set me loose on the wastes, and I was actually supposed to come back you up. Except... Well, I maybe-sorta-kinda forgot to grab instructions in my hurry out of HQ, so I had no idea where you were supposed to be. I got lost in the wastes, found a big base, found some rebels inside, and presto! Communication."

His head came out from under the bike, closer to the radio.

"I'm your backup firepower on wherever you need it. Since you're in enemy territory, I am guessing that you will want it or need it soon, yeah? In fact, I also have a vehicle for getaway. It can carry three people at most though..."

Nanami listened to Lavan as he explained why he was here. She was immediately annoyed. The Old Man had sent her a babysitter.

She briefly paused. Nanami thought about how she had been in the time since her confrontation with Gallic… she supposed she could see why OMS would want someone to keep an eye on her, but she still disliked the idea.

“… We’re at Caesar’s Camp. It’s a very long story. If you want to help, head in this direction; but do NOT engage. I’ll repeat that DO NOT ENGAGE. We’re sneaking around and so far we’re not in any danger. If you come in here in the same way you did the Enclave facility, you’ll just get us into an unnecessary fight.”

She paused. “Cess should have a map of the area. Caesar’s Camp is just beyond Cottonwood Cove, on an island with a hill. Get to the north of the island. By the time you get there, we’ll hopefully be done with what we’re doing.”
