[u][b]Joshua Graham - New Vegas[/b][/u]

While the meeting and incident would continue to be a hindrance and issue, for the remaining dignitaries in New Vegas - during those moments, where cards were falling all around them, nobody would notice Joshua Graham leaving the meeting. Not even mentioning to Christine why he had left.

[u][b]Joshua Graham - Near Arizona border; several hours later[/b][/u]

The soldiers of the NCR were seen crossing the invisible line that once separated Nevada and Arizona - moving from the Mojave region into the Legion-controlled territory. As expected, they had brought many of them - in hopes of beating the Legion away, and annihilating the them once and for all.

On a nearby ridge, Legion scouts would also keep watch - planning to continue the Caesar' plan of harassing NCR supply lines and men. In the hopes of bleeding them dry, before they could strike deep and then killing what remained of the enemy. While the NCR was likely expecting such attacks on their supply caravans, this time having mosted more men to keep them safe.

Before either side could react upon this thinking however, several bombs exploded near the border - while they weren't as much damaging as they were rather distracting. Many soldiers soon spreading out, looking for the attacker in question - unfortunately, these bombs hadn't been deployed by the Legion and they were also spreding around the area a noxious and thick red fog. Thanks to the explosion, it was spreading rather quickly and not dissipating away like any other gas.

It was limiting vision and worst of all, it climbed high enough above the heads of the NCR soldiers that it slowly blocked out the sun around them. Then, was heard the shuffling - as somebody was moving through the fog. But it didn't sound much of a human-walk at that. As ahead them, behind or maybe coming from the sides - started to appear figures, although they weren't of Legion nor NCR appearance.

The shuffling bodies, started edging closer to the NCR lines - not being stopped by the hoarsed words of the humans. Even when guns were pointed at them - they didn't stop. Soon enough fire was opened upon them, it didn't even hurt them - as what followed was gargled groans and growls, as the bodies simply jerked to the side. Like being played by some sick puppet-master, shots to the chest didn't stop them, arms or legs. 

An NCR soldier got lucky and managed to shoot one straight in the head and bring it down. The body collapsed onto the ground, while the others continued jerking forward - then what broke the morale of the humans...was seeing the 'dead' body get back up and start shuffling towards them. By the time, any of them thought of running it was too late.

The 'bodies' soon were upon the NCR soldiers, minor glimpses here and there - as they were carved down, machetes and fire axes coming down upon the humans. When troopers started grouping together to cover all angles of approach, they had a gas bomb thrown at them - sending remains flying everywhere. Their last sight reflected upon the masks of the Ghost people' red vizors - before they were axed, clubbed or stabbed to death.

Above the ridge - as the likely two Legionnaries were debating on running or continuing watch - they'd soon hear a footstep followed by another behind them. "No need for harm...I come in peace," spoke the hooded figure, pulling its hands together in prayer - revealing the form of Joshua Graham underneath. "Magnificient aren't they? Now then...might you be so kind to show the way to Caesar?" he asked, as the NCR was torn apart near the border.
