[@Andronicus23] [u][b]Joshua Graham - Near Arizona border[/b][/u] "Perhaps...it's sad to say, they recovered to quickly for my taste. But nevertheless, the word has been cast. My people are with your people," he spoke, as he looked at the carnage - and sadly at the damage done by the NCR' metal beasts. "Hmm...perhaps we have underestimated the New California Republic once again. No matter..." Joshua then turned to Luscius and spoke. "I will rally the rest of my people...we'll go get some more...effective weapons against those metal beasts. Though steel has resisted steel for ages - we shall see how plasma and laser would work against them," spoke Joshua, before bowing before the Caesar of the Legion and slipped his cloak back on - before he disappeared into the Wastes down below. The Cloud would keep the NCR from moving forward, for now - he'd need to rally the others and get some of their more deadly weapons ready. [hr] [@Lewis251] [u][b]Christine Royce, Ultra-Luxe[/b][/u] Royce sighed in reply, as she sat behind the table alone - the initial talks with the Van Graffs hadn't gotten anywhere. Well, you couldn't win them all - as she soon started to lean back in her chair and thought - namely how she could get more Sierra Madre Chips. In addition, to how to set up the trade and exchange rate with the other humans. They, as the Ghost Traders didn't require much food, water or necessities. Namely entertainment, was the best commodity they would be worth buying - since despite all of her people, being like near-ghouls - they still possessed their minds, if that was allowed to fester in boredom, it could change to discomfort and eventually madness at this rate. She wondered, if Casinos would allow Ghost people in...provided they didn't start anything and- [i]"The NCR has foiled a Ghost invasion on the Arizona border. Despite usage of 'the cloud', the NCR suffered minimal casualties."[/i] Royce fell backwards in her chair in that and fell onto the floor - groaning in reply. There were two things - she DIDN'T want to hear in in conjunction - NCR attacked by her Ghost people and the Cloud used at ALL. Christine shook off the initial shook, from her discomfort and tried to gather her thoughs. When her nuts and bolts linked together to give her the answer - she started shaking in anger and fuming underneath her gas mask. 'Ohh, you damn mother-fucking son-of-a-bitch. I am going to skin you alive, and set you on fire,' she thought - before she adjusted her look and quickly made a run for the elevator. Quickly tapping on the floor button - and once it arrived for her, she entered it and set it to the Top Floor. Namely the NCR' Penthouse - as she soon made a quick and direct path towards the location. "I need to the current NCR representative immediately!" she spoke, when she spotted the room and the bodyguards outside it. When she got an answer, for her purpose here - she quickly exclaimed her reasoning. "There has been an unlawful attack on your state - by people whom weren't authorized to do such a thing. I hear also you been attacked by the Cloud. I am here to...help. To prevent a war from breaking out, to save my people and...to help clear the Cloud..."
