[i]"I see. I know not who the NCR are as a people, but from the rumors they do seem the type to roll over others for land; said rumors have not painted either of your nations in a favorable light. But I do not take stock in rumors generated by the disgruntled masses. Though from what I can tell, your culture is one based off the old Romans, even openly practicing Slavery. I will not judge you as I believe to judge a nation means one is ready to act upon their judgement. You say your Caesar was wiling to come to terms, what would those have entailed should this convention gone as planned?"[/i]

"I appreciate the restraint on your part," Titus replied, glad that this Alaskan man wasn't so quick to condemn The Legion outright, "Its refreshing after having to listen to that infernal NCR profligate President, or imposter. Depending on who you believe."

"As for the terms Caesar would have suggested: they are quite simple. A stabilization of the western border between The Legion and The NCR and a pact of non-aggression to ward against future outbreaks of hostilities. Had the NCR agreed to that proposal, then Mr. Robert Edwin House would have been asked to be the mediator to further discussions. Vegas is in a unique position of being a buffer state between the NCR and The Legion. Logically, House has an interest in keeping a peaceful border, so he would have made for an excellent third party negotiator."

"Alas, none of that came to pass. And what happened is exactly what we feared would happen. The NCR had been mustering troops for weeks and sending them east. An attack was deemed imminent by Caesar's spies in The NCR. Although the attack came much sooner, it did indeed come..."

Titus shrugged, "And now? Now there will be no peace. Caesar will finish what the NCR started, and he will make them lose all taste for war. Mark my words Mr. North."
