[color=00a651][u][b]Alex “The Double” Hornsby- NCR [/b][/u][/color]

“Did I say the New Vega would die without NCR’s Money? No I am fully aware Vegas can sustain itself and would for the most part continue on even if we where to fully cut ties today, not that I’m suggesting that.... but you cannot deny it would be a huge dent on the Vega’s income...”

That was when the leader of “ghost traders” spoke “His view doesn’t represent the Ghost Traders, or most of what we think. But, I will warn you President Kimball - do NOT threaten my extended family...it will end badly...."

[i]Extended family? Who’s she talking [/i]

“Despite our History with Joshua Graham... The NCR has not intentions of going to war with the “Ghost traders”. In fact as sign of good faith and hope that we may one day become trading partners or allies the NCR congress has agreed to cancel the Bounty on Joshua’s head....Assuming of course he does not return to the legion.”

[i]Him openly being alive is pure propaganda against the legion. [/i]

Shortly after that Lucius left, leaving what could only be described as a legion scribe? As his representative which was followed by the arrival of two later comers, first the Texan rangers and the new group “Free Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.” 

The NCR had little knowledge of this group but supposedly they very much like NCR and much like the NCR had a new leader who was relatively new to the political arena before becoming the leader of their territory. 

Pausing to take a final sip of wine, the High Elder dabbed his lips with a tablecloth, before speaking up towards the new entrant. “You have missed much Madam Delegate, just a declaration of war. So politics as per usual....If I might speak to an envoy of New Vegas in private, that would be much appreciated. In addition to this, my associate scribes wish to speak with representatives of the Midwestern Brotherhood, and with a representative of the NCR.”

[i]The Tin Cans wish to speak to us... interesting[/i]

“A representative will be sent to speak to you privately after this conference has concluded.”

Once the others had finished talking about the Brotherhood’s meeting request the representatives from the keys spoke to the president. “Quite a surprise, I must say. Mr. Kimball, may I ask what your exact reasoning behind this strike was? The Keys were hoping to promote peace and prosperity throughout the war-torn West, so I pray you have a just cause for the resumption of conflict in the region.”

“I could tell you, or the president himself could explain.” Alex replied noticing the white glove waiters had finally finished bring in and setting up the television with Hopeway changing the channel to (NS1) NCR-Sate Network One which was showing an Live presidential press conference from the Town of Bullhead... a short distance away from the Arizona border. 

[color=82ca9d] On screen was President Kimball although he looked different....more... heroic to the otherwise identical man sitting in the Ultra lux in Vegas. Wearing the NCR Tank commander’s uniform and leather Jacket he had wore when part of the Mechanised division the president was in the city of Bullhead seeming giving a press conference in front of what appeared to be an NCR Tank.... The president's Battle Tank 

"Citizens of the new California republic approximately two hours ago the NCR Army and Rangers led by general Shu and chief Wilson respectively launched a joint strike on the Legion forces in Arizona.”

“For those that are worrying that I’m repeating my father’s mistakes in Vegas, worry not. This is not an Invasion but a Prempetive strike with of aim of crippling legions forces and resources and not a full on conquest."

“Although Moore’s campaign five year ago was a failure for the NCR It was also a great Humiliation for the legion and the new Caesar as they where only saved by the complete and utter destruction by Intervention of Mid-west brotherhood. 

“Whenever Caesar or the legionnaires like to admit it or not they own their survival today to group they would consider heretical profligates who worship an false Man-god and not the wisdom of Caesar, strength of the legion or blessing from Mars...”

“Over the last five years the legion has rebuild it army, preying on the small tribes and towns in Mexico and American south-east. Now that the legion has been rebuilt it will only be matter of time before the new Caesar attempts to reclaim his lost honour, lest he replaced by a more worthy servant of Mars.”

“Thus I have decided to strike first... the campaign of Arizona will be merciless and Brutal... I cannot promise that everyone will come back  but with their sacrifice we can hopefully avoid an invasion on the NCR and the untold suffering that will bring to the NCR citizens on the border.”

“To the representatives at the American Convention currently going in Vegas I apologise for not be able to come myself but much like the New Caesar I like to lead from the front...” The president stated as he put on a Tanker’s helmet 

The president then began to climb onto the Tank behind the stage which then drove off seemlying to the fight in Arizona as the Vice president took over the press conference. "I will now answer any questions you have."
