Lucius looked over the new arrival. Brotherhood of Steel? He had heard a couple stories of them, about how they relied very heavily upon technology. Most of the Legion looked down upon them for that, but the legion had had little reaction with them so far. Lucius was interested in seeing what one of their more skilled warriors was capable of.
"I sure wouldn't want to be on the business end of one of those..."
Knox gestures toward Marcus's Ballistic Fists.
"I've only seen a Power fist before, how different are those?"

"Those little puppies have a sensor plate on the knuckles that when it makes contact... Sets off a shotgun on the hand. A very deadly weapon, but you dont wana be in the range to use one against a death claw."
Knox lets loose a low whistle
K: "Woah...that souds like an awesome weapon! I gotta see if I can get some of those for the Khans!"

Ethan walked through Freeside, he had arrived a few days ago, it was an occasional stop off in his wandering, there were always a few here who needed a good gun, and he was usually more than happy to provide.
Before he returned to the Atomic Wrangler his portable radio buzzed, an unusual bit of static, who the hell would be trying to call him? He pulled out the radio and pressed the button to talk. "Hello, this is Edwards, I received your static burst, who's calling?"
"Mr. Edwards, my name is Mr. House, I've heard you were a competent individual, I've been looking for people like you. I know you're in Freeside, meet me at my casino, I have a job for you."
Well that was... odd. But Ethan decided it would be worth looking into, work was work, and a man as "influential" as House might be able to find some leads on Debbie.
He walked up to the front gate of the Strip, a Securitron barred his way, "I was called by House, let me through." "Of course sir, have a pleasant day"
Ethan walked into the Lucky 38 after having another conversation with the securitrons outside. He saw the crowd of people standing in the casino. He looked them over, trying to guess which could be Mr. House. There were a few from the NCR, but if they were House they wouldn't have the meeting place in a casino, A few legionnaires, Ethan took a second to process that there were NCR and legionnaires in the same room and both groups were still alive. The one in power armor probably wasn't House, and the Kahns didn't hire outside help.
Satisfying himself that none were House, he walked over to the group. "Where's House? I understand he has a job for me."

"He dosent talk in person... I tried to coax him out, He was about to missle strike Camp McCarren. He assembled our little boy band here to Got into LEGION teritory which is also a DEATHCLAW! nest to get a fucking computer chip. The only faction missing is some fucking Enclave Remnents."
He said as he carefully dismantled his rifle and carefully cleaned each part.
"Awh Fuck last time we said something like that the BoS guy showed up... no offence. But I dont want one of those physco patriotic militant fucks running around."

I'm posting this on behalf of OutcastBOS, because he asked, also he asked me to write for Mr. House in the future. In additon he wants me to remind you to talk to him if you have any questions
Knox eyed the new guy, he sensed that this guy was not to be messed with.
"He ain't here in person, He just came on the monitor, he said we were supposed to get a chip or something from a crowd of deathclaws in Legion territory. So... I'm Knox, you?"
---...---

---Ethan---
"The name's Ethan, Kahn" He turned to the NCR trooper, "bombing McCarren huh, you sure he didn't just draw a targeting screen over a picture of the fort?" Ethan walked over towards the monitor, looking for any sort of input or controls. "well House? you called me, let's talk".
At this the screen glowed green a mustachioed face with perfectly maintained hair appeared on the screen. "Please step back from the monitor Mr. Edwards, they are quite expensive"
"Fair enough." Ethan stepped back, "Now talk, you called me, and I assume these others over here, what's the work, and what's the pay?"
"I need you to procure several items that were taken from my possession, as Mr. Knox told you the first of which currently resides among a group of deathclaws within the Legions territory"
"If you know so much, why hire us? Or use these Securitrons you have everywhere?"
"Alas, My own physical movement is... "restricted", and the terrain in which the chip is located would not be... conducive to the movement of my robots, hence your presence. In addition, despite my best efforts, there are still many things that humans can do that my robots can not."
"Fine, I'll accept that, now as for my payment..."
"I have considered your pay, I am a man of means, you may ask anything of me."
"you said you had several things to get, if the first is surrounded by Death Claws then there's no reason to doubt that the others are equally well defended. You're a man of means, fine... The securitron at the gate said 2,000 caps, I want a 2,000 cap down payment, as well as an additional 1,000 caps on the procurement of each item, as well as the cost of any expenses. Finally a man of means has "friends", I want you use your contacts to find me any information you can on a girl named Debbie Edwards"
"Your terms are acceptable Mr. Edwards, I'll have a Securitron down shortly with your down payment."
"Good"
When Ethan saw and took the money he turned to the group, "so what're your stories?"

I didn't ignore your post, I didn't SEE it, it took me a while to write up my post(I was busy with other things if you must know) But if you're going to take offense, I'll edit it to include your redundant statement
because I don't believe in empty posts
...** Edit, sorry, I made a mistake and called you a legionary, my mistake, changed it.
sorry i didnt look at the time from inbetween post
"NCR 1st Recon... I'm the most decorated marksman in NCR history. That about wraps up all you need to know."

"good to see 'the most decorated marksman in NCR history' can get fooled by a picture on a screen. I'm glad NCR training still turns out such sterling examples of humanity"

Knox grins with glee as the NCR sniper is talked down to. He liked the guy, but still, it was cool to see a random waster stand up to a NCR guy. A first recon NCR soldier to boot.
"Heh, he does have a point Dead Eye. House wouldn't blow up the main camp for the NCR here! That would be New Vegas suicide!"
"Heh, he does have a point Dead Eye. House wouldn't blow up the main camp for the NCR here! That would be New Vegas suicide!"
Lucius continued to stand silently near Marcus, watching as another person walked through the doors. This one didn't have any immediate markings or uniform that identified him as any side. He also failed to mention any alliance he had when he spoke. Lucius figured that he must be a wastelander then, some random wandering Dissolute. It seemed that Mr. House had only contacted important factions in the nearby area, but now it looked like he was willing to hire random mercenaries as well.
Ranger Night Owl had been leaning casually against the wall as the two new arrivals showed up, upon hearing a wastelander asking for their stories he spoke up.
"My code name is Night Owl, I haven't used my real name for years and it isn't important regardless, I'm a ranger from the NCR if you couldn't guess, got called here on my radio while I was out patrolling near Vegas."
"My code name is Night Owl, I haven't used my real name for years and it isn't important regardless, I'm a ranger from the NCR if you couldn't guess, got called here on my radio while I was out patrolling near Vegas."
"I wouldent be so sure about that... Hes got enough of these securitrons rolling around to keep the NCR away for a long, long time. Especialy after killing 75% of the troops in the Mojave"
"Well, at least I know that I won't be working with weaklings. I must say I'm surprised to see a Brotherhood representative here. I fought a group of them once and they fought valiantly. As for you NCR soldiers, I have heard of you before Night Owl, in fact, I think you tried to kill me before. As for you, Foul Mouth, I don't want ti kill you, yet, so stay civil and we won't have a problem. As for you Know, it is nice to see a Khan here. I just hope you aren't a junkie. And while I don't know you," he said to Ethan "I'm sure if you are here than you are worth working with."
Marcus took in a quick breath after his address. He had obviously had experience talking to many people at once (being a Centurion) but he really knew how to control his words. Then he turned to Lucius and said,
"I'm glad to have you here. I am glad to have a scout here. Without men like you, our campaign in Wyoming would have failed miserably. If you survive this, I might see you transferred to my garrison."

Wow, you guys really left me in the dust.
"Legion, NCR, Brotherhood, Kahns. Hell, I'm impressed this 'House' character managed to get you all into the same room without you killing each other. And I'm sure you're all very good at what you do, but that doesn't matter here."
Ethan walked over to the table of weapons, still visibly lit. he eyed the modifications, but his own weapon had served him well, he wouldn't be stupid enough to change the balance or build just before a dangerous mission.
"We're working as a team, if you idiots can't put your bullshit rivalries behind you, the waste will eat you alive. Not to mention the deathclaws."
He picked up a combat knife, and tested the balance, then threw it into a mark on the wall, where it stuck dead center. "Good, I needed a new knife" he pulled it out of the wall and looped the sheath into his belt.
