[u][b]Titus Crassus, Queastor of The Legion[/b][/u]

When the announcement came and the NCR 'President' having revealed himself to be a fake, Titus was quietly amused. After the supposed "real" President Kimball had given his speech via live TV to a press conference, Titus sat up in his seat and spoke up,

"So," He said, beginning with a light chuckle, "Just to set the record straight. The NCR has, in no uncertain terms, [b]one[/b], declared war not only at conference to discuss a renewal of the peace treaty which ended the blood shed of five years ago...but also began their invasion two hours before we even took our seats here...which clearly means they tried to use this conference as a distraction for their initial assault..." 

"And [b]two,[/b] the NCR President Kimball, who was introduced to us as such, is in fact [b][i]not[/i][/b] President Kimball and the man standing before us is what, a double? A pantomime? A look-alike? And so the NCR lied to all those present here because......why? By Mars....I doubt the man we just saw giving the speech is the President either. Why should we believe him to be? In all likelihood the "real" President Kimball is back in Shady Sands, smoking a cigar with his rich Brahmin Baron cronies, rubbing their fat hands together, and contemplating how they might split up the land they intend to seize."

"And yet still, despite the NCR's rapid expansion, their attempted annexation of the Mojave, and their undoubtable plans to expand their territory both north and south, they still try to justify their war by accusing the Legion of being more dangerous and war-mongering? I'm beginning to think President Kimball, [i]whoever that may be[/i], is far more inept that even his father was..."

"If that's the case," Titus finished, "Mars help us all."
