The Crimson Caravan Job

Considering how dangerous the Wasteland was, of course someone would be stalking them, although said stalker would not make any apperance for the night. In the building they had settled in, they would find themselves sufficiently cozy to sleep in shifts, and when the next day came, they would be ready. However, what would be their options? Lockpicking was out of the question, but nothing says they couldn't pick pockets for a key that their opponents already had...

Novac

It seemed that even in this changed universe, one Craig Boone was going to be the Legion's enemy one way or another. And with him as an NCR commander in this timeline, help would come to Darlen swifter than expected, as one of the patrols under him would intercept Darlen and Chloe as they tried to make their way to Trading Post 188, their squad leader saying:

"Halt! Who goes there!" before noticing the haggard look of the two travellers, before saying, more mildly:

"Do you need help? You look like you've been through hell!"

Nipton

Reports would arrive to the local Centurion, as well as Artificer King Actus about the death of their patrol and the attack on one of their soldiers who was engaged in the 'private business' of slavery, with one of the few Niptonite townsfolk who had been allowed to betray their town knocked unconcious.

The Centurion would order more crosses put up; more Niptonites will die for this, starting with the traitor schoolteacher.

Of course, Actus can countermand this, but he would only have some minutes to do so...because unknown to him or the Centurion, Carmen was arrriving with her squad and ordnance.

@thegreenleafe

Do you already have ideas for who's stalking your guy?

@ShadowVentus, It's all right, but I'm holding you to your promise.

Alternate Fallout: New Vegas, Points of Divergence

@Wernher, you exceeded expectations.

Alternate Fallout: New Vegas, Points of Divergence

@Wernher, All right. Just wanting the plot to move forward, that's all.

Alternate Fallout: New Vegas, Points of Divergence

@chiru, All right, but fair warning, I am really impatient now.

@thegreenleafe, @APRoll201984, your replies to my Par post, if you're not busy?

Alternate Fallout: New Vegas, Points of Divergence

@chiru, So, any progress?

@Lady Athena, Yes.

GM Post

"Done," spoke Emperor Michael to Drake, "you can use your watch to get back in contact with your world for a few hours to get whatever supplies you need; the rest of the team can use your tactical advice to hold back the enemy for enough time. If you can also get information about the various deals being made, that would be good too." He then faced Ryteb, then smiled.

"Good to see such confidence. Anyway...I was going to take v2's advice and teleport us down immidiately, but Seth speaks my language, and I don't mean Greek," The Emperor said. "Very well, we shall once again split our forces into three groups; one to rescue Sayaka and Kyosuke, one to get in contact with Homura, and one to destroy the Incubators and end their meddling in human affairs once and for all."

He chose not to listen to Cheese's defense of the Incubators, and spoke to Mai:

"Their goal is independence, as well as a desire to keep the universe alive, even if it is by causing grave amounts of suffering. Either way, we've lost enough time."

And with that, v2, Ryteb, Mai, and Taka (if he hadn't disappeared) would be taken to the interior of a hospital, where a shimmering field, akin to a Stopga spell, but with Ryteb not sensing magic, had stopped the flow of time and the movement of anyone inside. In the room to Mai's left was Kyosuke Kamijou and Sayaka Miki, a sad expression on their face as they looked out towards the stas through the hospital's window.

The kidnappers from Chronos hadn't arrived yet...

In the meantime, Tocsax and Seth were at a strange...area, an area that could be mistaken for another world entirely. Miniature Galaxies can be seen swirling in the sky, while the 'land' itself was a labyrinth of walkaways, crystals, and floating panes of light, which resembled that which Hakim used. Small, cat-like creatures with gleaming white fur with red markings and eyes, with large, triangular ears and long tails, all of which made them artificially cute, wandered the corridors, pausing only when they noticed the two Nobodies.

Humans - no, Nobodies, a telepathic voice boomed out from the inhabitants, if your business in the Incubators' Citadel is the destruction of our civilization, we must warn you that you risk the overall welfare of this universe...then again, mortals are so uncautious.

And with that, Tocsax and Seth would feel as though their heads and ears were assaulted by the mother of all migranes combined with the screecing of nails across a blackboard. Memories would flash across both of them, even Seth's, although the latter would be far more recent, mostly involving the quest.

Suddenly, a hologram would appear before both of them, a young girl with light brown hair, wearing a pink-white breastplate, skirt, hand and arm guards, and plate shoes, carrying a sword.

Our universe's version of Jeanne D' Arc, a Magical Girl of immense power whose wish was 'to bring Light to France'. A 'Holy Warrior', her duplicate is intended to be a match against dark powers held by the entity known as Seth. As for Tocax, however...

Another hologram appared, but not one of a Magical Girl, but rather, of an eighteen-year old who looked exactly like Tocsax, wearing a red-orange shirt, blue jeans, and red-white sneakers, wielding a Keyblade - no, the X-Blade, a weapon slightly larger than a normal Keyblade, and whose looked more like a sword than Tocsax's weapon.

"Ascot..." Tocsax whispered.

We remember the origins of the Multiverse, entity known as Tocsax, the Incubators said in unison. We will not let that which shattered the worlds exist again.

Mac and Cheese, meanwhile, would be teleported outside an ordinary apartment building, whose door would open to find Homura, now in her Magical (School)Girl costume, pointing an AK-47 at them.

"Who are you?" she would ask, "did Kyubey send you?"
