[color=9e0b0f][b][i]James Kimball- The road to Phoenix.[/i][/b][/color] Travelling towards Phoenix James could see a small farm up ahead as they approached they could see that a Squad of NCR troopers where ransacking the house with the owners, an old couple tied up on the porch. Nearby the Squad leader and NCR Combat Engineer were removing collars and seemlying recruiting several tribal looking young men “Mr President Sir!” the squad leader called out as the president’s tank approached “Farm belongs to that old couple and along with using slave labour to run the farm one of the slaves told me they have been supplying the legion forces with food.” “Two crimes punishable by death.” James coldly replied “Once you are done with the House Burn the crops and then continue onto Phoenix.” [color=00a651] Meanwhile 300 miles away in Vegas. [/color] "Put her under room-arrest for the time being. Take her to the quarters I have given her people and guard the door." He glared at Calypso. "If I see any more of that sort of shit from your folks, your entire entourage will be banished from New Vegas." He apologetically looked at Shelby. "I am doing you a favour. It could have been much worse. “House arrest?” Alex called out as he sat back down his chair, his shoulder hurt alot but he could wait a few minutes for the meeting to end before going to see the doctor. “Clearly this poor girl has been brainwashed by the "Non-chosen one", I ask that she be handed over to the followers for treatment.” [i]Anything more extreme King would refuse but he might agree to that. [/i] After taking a deep breath, The King came down from the particular high of the conflict and slouched in his chair. "I think this calls for an adjournment of our first day. Please enjoy all of the amenities that New Vegas has to offer, and we will meet again tomorrow. If you would like to remain at the table unofficially, that is fine. But you are all free to depart for the day. We will resume at the same time tomorrow." “If anyone wishes to speak to the NCR several representatives will be at the tops casino.” Alex stated as he looked at his shoulder wound, the chopstick had dung in rather deep. “... I’ll be joining them once this has been dealt with.” [color=00a651][u][b] A short time later- The lucky 38 [/b][/u] [/color] A drunken man walked up to the doors of the Lucky 38, ranting Nonsense he suddenly fell over and slip something under the door... [i]Dear Mr House I apologise for not being able to go to the convention myself and that you had to deal with my body double, the man may look like me but he is somewhat of an asshole. Although to be fair to the man I did tell him to be an utter dick to the legion and get Caesar to leave assuming the attack is an full on invasion. As I’m sure you’re aware the Legion uses spies “Frumentarii” to gather information, with them no doubt having agents in both the NCR & Vegas. I plan on stopping or hindering them from properly informing the Legion by purposely spreading "Fake news"..made up stories, reports, contradicting press statements and even giving out eight different version of the attack plan to non-essential officers back in the NCR. With any luck the Frumentarii will give false information to Caesar but at the same time my allies and neutral parties like the FZM will be unsure of the NCR plans. Which is why I wanted to write and state regardless of what you may hear or be told the NCR has no intention of invading the FZM (If anything I’d like it to become a client state but that’s an discussion for another day.) or even Arizona for that matter, the goal of the attack is to weaken the legion and humiliate Caesar with the hopes of causing an civil war. Yours sincerely President James Kimball [K][/i]
