Victoria thought over for a moment. The proposal that the female wastelander made was valid. Victoria spoke up finally, "I am not despite enough to gather a group together that I would pay any amount for mere cannon fodder. I am willing to pay you what you have asked for because I do need a group. I cannot do this on my own with any efficiency."

Victoria's eyebot beeped impatiently. Victoria waved her hand and the eyebot departed and floated out the tavern with some urgency. Victoria looked around at all the volunteers, "The first task of this expedition is to establish an outpost on the edge of the Everglade jungles. If you want to stop there you may. However, the main task is to push South and locate the ruins of Vault 38. Any Local can tell you the myth of the Vault dwellers that first surveyed that Vault. They activated a GECK and now the Everglades are once more. However, it is wrong. It has gone beyond its intent. In the last 30 years over half of Florida has now become covered by its jungle. And it continues, I plan to stop it before it takes over everywhere." Victoria stopped herself and refocused, "That is a task for a later time. I need a group to go clear land from the monsters squatting on it. I leave tomorrow at dawn. Any more Questions?"

Victoria's eyebot floated through the streets of New Hope till it came to a source of a radio signal that had gotten its attention. It stopped when it found Mr. Gutsy 5186. It beeped happily at the Mr. Gutsy while bobbing up and down in the air.
